on episode 7 AND MY BIAS FOR PRINCE LIE IS TOO MUCH THEY CANNOT MAKE HIM ANY SEXIER PLS also in the beginning his kabedon?? he was doing too much but the chemistry was undeniable ugh
okay the emperor probably poisoning him plot twist has got me the most shook bc first surprise was that an actual good emperor who is good to his son??? and then yea OF COURSE HE MIGHT HAVE POISONED HIS SON ON PURPOSE that is very on par for a cdrama emperor lmao
Yeah, he is a dangerous dude in the novel, wild, sexy as sin, rude . They domesticated him into a total cotton…
No I havenāt but Iāll check it out!! Yeah for FL they can barely do any wrong in my books coz more complex female characters the better and the ones that upset most people means they are usually doing something right lol

youāre really picking up what iām putting down!! you have a great way with words, I guess recently Iāve just been wanting some rawer romance material (to borrow your words that is not as sugary prudish) to push people a bit more out of there comfort zones and be open to different kinds of characters and people and stories. But on the other hand when I first discovered cdramas that was the most refreshing- the female gaze centric escapist fantasy (bc i hadnāt seen any of that in western visual media). I guess Iām just evolving as a watcher but reading this novel definitely played a part in that. Like oh itās possible for me to not like the ML and him not being perfect but still appreciate their growth and story.

yes i know i did comment a few weeks ago that most cdrama audience will have an aneurysm if this book was ACTUALLY adapted thats why i was very shocked to hear about this drama. I agree the novel is crazy but i wont say itās much realistic either itās just a toxic extreme- it was refreshing to me but yes we all have different reasons for what we watch and what we read. i just think itās kinda weird for the drama to be called an adaptation when itās more like a āloosely inspired byā the novel. Also, it showcases how cdramas are watered down to the point that some part of innate humanness is lost. yes everything is flowery and it is perfect escapism from the shitty reality we live but the novel was also happy ending itās just their story has tension and angst and grittyness to it that made the ending even sweeter- but thatās my own journey for how i interact with media

oh yes cotton candy is such an apt word i was excited bc it was the first novel i read that had such a wild and exciting ML but the drama one just kinda feels like every other cdrama ML
I havenāt started the drama yet but from clips it already seems they rose tinted tf out of the ML compared to the novel which i kinda expected but they also seem more flowery and romantic in the drama which is kind of a bummer because the tension and angst in the novel were givinggg but i still want to watch the drama i just need to forget the novel first before enjoying it as a separate thing
Obv they are going to tone down just like all other shows š, I think it's evident from teasers they are lot…
i justā¦cannot imagine it, like this genre of cdrama industry is not willing to be this crude so iām very curious how they will āadaptā this iām expecting a loose inspiration taken from the novel bc thereās just no way š the smoking kink alone would have the censor board quaking lolol
yall im reading this book right now- chapter 27 HOW TF ARE THEY GONNA ADAPT THIS???? there is NO WAY the script is gonna be the same lmfao cdrama twt would have an aneurysm with how messed up this book is omfg š Edit- I finally finished reading the novel, it was the first time I read this type of grittier chinese romance novel, so it was very interesting, it was frustrating but the extra chapters really made up for it, unique ML and FL and i doubt the drama will do the novel justice so I highly recommend reading it!
to preface this is definitely NOT my first japanese BL, but the extent of explicitness in this one??? never seen it in other japanese BLs before this one and I have a feeling that we have the popularity of heated rivalry to thank for this hahahah
-0.5 for not giving me a bed scene š but the way cha segye says shin seori in his teasing deep breathless voice might make up for it, gah their chemistry was just so peak, what an amazing drama I havent felt this good about a kdrama since CLOY and True Beauty
just saw the trailer and just now read the summaryā¦HOLY WOW iām so seated my laptop is looking back at me confused af how iām already so deeply seated. please let the release date be soon PLEASE.
upset most people means they are usually doing something right lol
