It's depicted as a bromance-ish. The two ML's don't get paired off with any women, but instead have a close relationship with each other that is lovely to watch. :)

I hope you love it as much as many of us here do!

Same on the Chinese historicals. I'm recently trying to watch more as well after The Untamed. At first, keeping track of the character names they throw at you is a little like juggling while someone throws you another ball every time you get comfortable. Lesson of Korean historical dramas is that a lot of people are going to die by the end. xD

I was initially hesitant to start this because of the episode count and lack of BL, but fear not, it ended up not even being a worry. Although there are no outright declarations or skinship between the ML's, there is more than enough looks and the unbreakable loyalty between the two will satisfy all your feels. They really used subtlety in this one, and the relationship between the two is so beautiful, it really (very obviously, in my opinion) goes beyond friendship.

If that's your only worry, I would give it a go! There is plenty to love about this, and the amazing chemistry between the mains is just icing on a wonderful cake! And, if you're still not satisfied with it in the end, like Dogmatic Princess said, you can always read the original material after, which is hella BL. You'll probably end up reading it anyway if you decide to watch. The Untamed addiction is real. :)

I feel like we all need someone that looks at us the way that LWJ looks at WWX when he smiles.

They're so heartfelt. I honestly started tearing up the first time that I read the lyrics/watched both of their songs.

That's awesome, lol. I love the lyrics to their personal songs as well, because they're essentially (at least LWJ's for sure) love songs to each other. They threw subtlety to the wind xD

Kill Me Heal Me, was a great watch. I loved all the different personalities in there.

Chicago Typewriter definitely comes to mind for great Korean dramas. It was a something that I put off for a while, but I ended up falling in love with it!

That's Xiao Zhan as Wei Wuxian in the The Untamed in her/his profile pic! His smile is super precious :)

Uhg, the graphics look so pretty. I just wish I knew how to read Chinese.....

The second epsiode is out as well! They're so cute :)

Miss Truth is a fun and interesting watch. I'm definitely binge watching the episodes, but there's some strong second lead syndrome in this one. I would recommend if you can get past love drama because the mystery side is amazing.

She's a little fickle, but only when dealing with the love interests. I really enjoy when she's solving a case as her character is really smart and capable. The only thing that I don't like is that for comedic relief, her character can be a bit gullible/unstrategic sometimes. The love triangle is back and forth, so beware if you don't like those. If you're looking for a mystery solving drama then is pretty enjoyable. :)

It goes by really quickly, trust me. I was initially hesitant to start this because of the episode number, but ending up wishing there were more episodes. It's well worth the watch! :)

In the novel, MXY trades souls with him, I believe. They changed it in the drama to make it easier for viewers, I'm sure. MXY enacts a ritual that sacrifices his soul and gives up his body to WWX, so in the book his appearance is completely different the second time around.

Loved the casting. I'll have to go read the novel, it looks really good. Also, apparently Kim Woo Bin with long hair is the aesthetic I didn't know I needed.

There are some mini-ships, but the show focuses more on the relationships between the characters and the mental health of the doctors and patients. The romance was more of a sweet background thing, even with the mains, which was nice. :)

I believe the respective series (or it might have been MAME) stated that some couples would remain in their established series. Tum/Tar and Keng/Kla are more established in LBC so their storyline will continue there. Whereas since Tharn and Type's characters are now acknowledged here, they'll take Type's character out of LBC2. I believe it's something like that at least. :)

It's pretty much what hello said. Someone wrote a rather spicy 18+ fanfic with XZ as the main character, and (I think) his fans reported it which got the site shut down. Since it was one of the few fanfic sites that was still light in censorship, there was massive uproar. Somehow, they blamed XZ for the whole thing (i.e. not controlling his fans) and ended up boycotting stuff he promoted and the like. That's what I gathered from articles, but it's all hearsay.

I strongly dislike the overused evil mother/wannabe girlfriend/evil Ceo trope. The poor girl, rich guy trope gets on my nerves as well. Also, when a misunderstanding could be cleared up with a simple explanation, but instead the character just stands there with his/her mouth open. Unnecessary drama is the worst.
