I am so disgusted by Chinese people how they treat Zhou dongyu like whenever u will see her post all the comments…
I don't understand people who call themselves fans while simultaneously bullying actors for their looks, chasing them in public, hate on their loved ones, etc. Because a lot of the people who do things like this to these actors will still watch their shows and still claim to support them. It's really disappointing.
Am late to the discussionβ¦But, I agree that they shouldβve spent more time on who is going to end up being…
He definitely was a people pleaser but I didn't see it as that big of deal since towards the end of the drama he realized it was an issue and worked on being more genuine. Plus his feelings for Tae Kyung were still real. I understand why Shin Woo was distancing himself but didn't like that he was so unkind in the process. I think if he'd just been standoffish instead of straight mean I would've liked him more.
Eh I'm being dramatic lol. I just find their scenes kind of boring to watch so far. I don't mind Gongsun Yin on his own, but something about the Princess, idk if it's her character or her acting, I don't enjoy. Maybe it'll get better.
I'm actually so mad lol. What would've been in my Top 5 BLs managed to completely fumble the landing. I'm guessing they intended to do a season 2 (I'm not holding my breath for that). But why?? The story could've been wrapped up neatly with a beautiful bow. Or at least been left on a cliffhanger more satisfying than this one. Maybe if they hadn't forced us to endure countless scenes for that deeply uninteresting teacher romance side plot there would've been more screen time for the main couple to actually get somewhere romantically. Those two teachers were such dull characters and every time we cut to them was like watching paint dry. Mind you, this is a coming of age, high school BL. If I were in the mood to watch middle aged men navigate a one-sided love, I would just pull up Japanese BLs, close my eyes, and point.
You know with the way things are going...this is really not helping the jinx rumor they had going in the town π Also shoutout Granny Kang. At the end of the day, she a real one.
Douban rating just announced on this drama, 5.5 out of 10.... Why the rating so mid!!??
I'm not that far in yet so I imagine it'll probably get better, but so far, it's giving 5.5 lol. This drama has one of the weakest starts I've ever seen to still be rated an 8 on here
Have you tried the drama yet? What do you think of their power dynamic? Just wanted to say that I don't believe…
Oh perfect that's basically what I was hoping for. I've really been in the mood for equally yolked power couples lol. Also I love a hotheaded FL with a more grounded ML. The dynamic is just so fun to me. I haven't started it yet but the premise sounds pretty interesting so I will definitely give it a watch soon. Thank you for responding!
Against all odds, this was actually so beautiful and not creepy ππ I always go in with low expectations when it comes to "basically siblings" shows (they're usually weird but curiosity keeps me watching them lol). There was an even greater risk with this story considering Wei Qian was Zhi Yuan's caretaker essentially. However, it makes a more sense once you watch the show. Overall, this is probably the best execution of this theme I've ever seen not just out of all BLs but out of all shows I've seen period.
I feel like I've been chasing the feeling this show gave me ever since I finished it with very little success π Shenli was freaking cool and Xing Zhi was such a vibe. Despite both being kind of serious characters, they suited each other so well. Xing Zhi's humor and calm demeanor balanced out Shenli's rigidness and blood thirst lol. Shenli's love for life and passion for her realm balanced out Xing Zhi's numbness to the world.
The music was absolutely lovely. The romantic turmoil actually felt substantial and mature considering it had to do with the fate of the world. And the story running alongside their romance was also quite interesting too. I'm actually so sad I've watched this because now everything I've watched after it has not scratched the itch.
How is the power dynamic? To be honest, I don't love when an otherwise cool FL immediately loses her powers/authority and spends a lot of the drama weakened or bossed around by the ML (ex: Love In The Clouds). The ML being her conqueror is a red flag that I might not like it. However, You Are The One and Legend of the Female General have a somewhat similar situation (the former because she loses her memory, the latter because she goes from being his peer to him being her superior), but it didn't bother me in those two shows. So I figured I'd ask and see about giving it a chance anyway.
Great show but I feel they spent way too long as siblings. They did a good job of not making it feel incest-y and weird, but the FL Ning still had brother zoned him so hard that there needed to be way more episodes to repair that than we were given π
It's an incredibly lovely show. So disappointed.
