bye I just realized LSF is my boy in Fangs of fortune ๐ญ๐คฃ after so many episodes ๐ญ๐ญ
when I see ppl only realizing now I'm like... I kinda feel bad ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ He's just that good man like wow.... and like I kinda feel bad bc I already was looking forward to this drama since like even before Fangs of Fortune came out so when I checked it again back in December and realized Xu Zhenxuan was there I was like....??????? It became like even more on my top plan-to-watch list ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ So I was looking forward to their chemistry lol wasn't sure what to expect but... ๐
I still can't believe both Xu Zhenxuan (Suifeng) and Cheng Xiang (Zuoqiu) are in another drama together like look at how handsome they are in 'Time Raiders'! ๐ญ๐ฉ They literally have zero interactions in this drama (FSH) but in TR they have all the interactions/screentime in the world XD
Oh you're gonna love the bromance so much. I kid you not, the word bromance does not do justice to the relationship…
Hello, I saw that you dropped this :( May I ask why you did? How many episodes have you watched so far? If you are rlly looking for the BL element here, you're gonna miss this one out. It's really good! It's really rare to find BL Cdramas nowadays so I would say, this is a rare find and it'll prob be so difficult to find another Cdrama like this one in the future.
The first half is the bickering between the MLs but 2nd half (I would say starting Ep.15) is where it starts to slowly grow deeper. And honestly, if you're scared about the romance, you can just decide to skip those scenes bc there isn't much and you wouldn't miss out the story/plot at all. I've seen some ppl do that. And I probably be one of those ppl once I rewatch those again cuz... I also felt it was forced haha.
I will tell you that two MLs get the most screentime together, and I'm not kidding. Some of their bickering already kinda shows that their relationship could grow into smth deeper (like we see with several other BLs)... and there is a lot of flirt between them two (Yuanzhou often teases and flirts with Yichen lol)... and I've seen other non-BL watchers even say that it's so easy to see the BL element in this one.
I don't wanna spoil much so I'm gonna make this more vague (trying not to spoil the plot and such) but there was a time when one of them wanted to sacrifice himself to save the others. The last person he talked to was that other ML. If you think about it deeper, wouldn't the last person you want to talk to and look at in your last moments the one who mean the most to you? The other guy did the same, looking at the other guy during their what they felt like was their last moment even tho FL was on the screen (both MLs like the girl but I often question it cuz... I mean, the way they look at each other goes beyond that (the way they look at the FL)... Many times these guys lent a helping hand to each other during moments that were so hard, the other grabbed onto it tightly when so. They often cried and smile at each other during those moments that were so sad like maybe in sacrificing moments, or moments that felt like a near-death for one of them but with relief that it wasn't. There was also a moment when one of them looked like they said 'Ai ni (I love you)' when he thought the other guy would die (it was silenced just like in WoH). And during that moment, it looked like they were so in love and the other guy was crying a lot bc he thought he died and regretted so hard not saving him sooner. I guess those are some of the deep moments that happen between the MLs. There is also another guy (the main villain) that seemed to have a relationship with the ML but it's like they broke up and ML finds someone else who understands him better and therefore chooses him as his the one he trusts in the most. He even does things for the 2ML that he doesn't do for the FL. And I'm like, "Wouldn't you do this for that one special one? And it's him, not FL?" I get shocked every time I think about it haha.
Iโve heard this is an amazing drama, but Iโm hesitant watch because I try to avoid dramas so sad endings no…
It's so good, you wouldn't wanna miss it out. And the ending may be sad but it is hopeful! Decided to check your page it seems like you like BL... well, since you do, I highly recommend this one. Tho it's not considered as BL, many of us like to think of it as one (despite the subtle romance) bc the chemistry and relationship between the two MLs really stood out personally for me and many others. You will love it :) Probably would consider it the best chemistry of all dramas I've watched haha the love in their eyes look so real! I can't praise Neo and Tian Jiarui enough! I've written several comments about their relationship but here is one of them that I wrote just recently if you'd like to learn more about it :)
Am I the only one who ain't feeling the 2nd brother is the masked man lol, ig I'm one of the only few who can't see him being more than just what we see (like being sus) ๐๐ซ
Qiushui and Xueyu's conversation after he saved her literally made me cry, I couldn't stop crying ๐ญ They have such a beautiful relationship. If I have to say it, it's probably my favorite duo/relationship along with Tang Rou x Qiushui. They are so precious, I wish they had shown them more. We were really robbed off of Gulnezer's screentime (and obviously Tang Rou ๐) ๐ญ Anyways, I knew my Qiushui would save her no matter what it took! The only brother that truly loves her and would do anything to give her the lifelong happiness she deserves ๐ญ๐ฅบ
Btw I know Chenzhou and Qiushui will be my favorite duo too, can't wait to see them tmr, the moment I've been waiting for ๐ญ๐ญ๐ฅน๐๐ซถ๐ป๐
My Tang Rou is such an underrated soul ๐ญ To think throughout these episodes, our Qiushui is still thinking about him, doesn't want to disappoint him, wants to protect his sister because of him, and even avenged his death for him! And idk why but the way he said, "Tang Rou, did you see that? I finally made Kang Chuyu pay for your death" after he killed Kang Chuyu, that really got me so emotional! And the way he cried also after he talked about this great news to his sworn brothers, he can never forget his Tang Rou even if it's been a long time since then ๐ญ
We were really robbed off of their bromance so bad. Every time Qiushui mentions Tang Rou, I can't help but get teary every time. It shows how amazing this actor portrayed him, and how precious a character can be even despite them being barely shown AND how amazing of a chemistry these two had on set like... their chemistry was so amazing, I'll never get over it. And I mean, not many people probably really thought about it but the way before his last breath, the person he wanted to speak (give his last words to) to AND look at last was Qiushui? It felt like he did not want to let his eyes stray away from him, and he was so afraid of dying like... he also didn't went to let go of his hand and held it as tightly as he could before his last breath ๐ญ That scene will forever be so emotional to me and engraved in my heart!
I am just hoping the original Shenzhou Sworn Brotherhood squad (the 4 of them) are the same friends in the modern world but don't have their memories... hopefully in the end when they come back to real life, they gain back the memories too, how precious that would be ๐ฅน And I can imagine the face full of tears on Qiushui's face once he sees him again ๐ญ
I'm probably the only one who ships these two so sorry for the rant :(
OMG, ZUOQIU AND SUIFENG IN THE POSTER OF ๅด้ช็งๅฎถ็ฌ่ฎฐ Time Raiders??????????????? And it's airing now?????? Didn't know that Zuoqiu was THAT handsome in his modern look ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ Actually wanna see Qiushui's friends in the modern world now LOL! Anyways, I need to watch this to support these two. I wasn't planning to but now.... ๐ฅน
Woahhh, the poster is legit these two from The Journey of Legend??? I couldn't even tell that was Zuoqiu in the hood... at first I thought that was Xu Zhenxuan but then when I looked closely, it didn't really look like him. Gosh, how was I mistaken when I knew Xu Zhenxuan's face so well? Looked up Cheng Xiang and my gosh, he is actually so handsome in his modern look (love him in TJOL too, so handsome) but wow... his modern look is on another level! That's when I figured he was the guy in the hoodie, and not Xu Zhenxuan playing both hoodie and the guy with glasses lmaoooo... anyways, I really need to watch this bc I am loving TJOL so much! We get no interactions between them there but to see them being friends here? Wow, this is crazy! I gotta watch this asap! I am even more excited for this!
I'm sorry but this made me laugh ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ like the way Suifeng was dissing Yiren like that hdksjkssks my boy speaking facts!!!! ๐ญ๐๐๐ป๐๐ป
I definitely hope ML saves his sister before his dumbass brother does anything more stupid thatโs literally…
True that. I am currently watching Ep.22 and the brothers are getting more screentime again jsksksksk wrote my previous comment BEFORE watching it. Anyways, will watch the trailers after hoping the brothers will not be there or just barely tmr lmao really sucks how the brothers have become. The parents would be so disappointed in seeing them like this. I just hope they're still alive to teach them a lesson!
I definitely hope ML saves his sister before his dumbass brother does anything more stupid thatโs literally…
I agree with you. The past 3 days I believe BEFORE yesterday, I just feel like the plot was not really moving bc we were only seeing Qiushui suffering like most of the time? And the brothers just made the episodes even worse honestly! After watching yesterday's episodes, I was so relieved. Gosh this drama just keeps getting better and better and I am so eager to watch more!
She's female AND a GUY saved her from being raped..Any female would be moved..It's as simple as that. SHE is/was…
yes, this is my exact thought, too. I really love how after qiushui did that, song mingzhu started protecting and siding with qiushui this time. it really made me so happy honestly! I hope there will be more of these enemies siding with each other in the end
Im rewatching first episodes and guess what? I like them even more than at the first time๐คญโค๏ธ
I don't usually rewatch episodes during the time a drama is airing but I feel like I need to now cuz I bet I missed clues haha, this is gonna be exciting!
Can't believe he and Tang Fang are actually half-siblings. So he really loves Tang Fang but as a sibling, not…
Yeah I really hope they fix this somehow cuz although I really enjoy the drama, I can tell there are some important scenes that seem to be missing that NEED to be shown like... Tang Fang seriously should have had more of a wavering reaction and having the desire to know more about what her father rlly did and reunite with her childhood best friend (catching up with each other). It really looked like she was talking to someone who she never loved and cared about. And I think her acting is lacking too in these aspects unfortunately. The director is at fault too ofc
I'm currently watching this and I love it but please I have a question I hope there's no romance between the leads?
Same I hope not either. So far, it has only shown Tang Fang having feelings for him but NONE whatsoever for Qiushui like AT ALL so I feel like if they just add it at all, it's just gonna feel so forced. I mean, I already find it so forced into the story already and it's only TF being one-sided. Don't really know how she started to like him bc they barely spent time together for it to even develop. I don't ship them at all because they're only really friends bc of Tang Rou... and Qiushui only wants to protect her bc of Tang Rou's last wish. So I'm hoping they just stay like that and don't go further. Qiushui has a lot in his hands too so adding romance is a bit..... anyways, I really hope no romance takes place (even if it may be a little like TBOY) bc a drama like this does not need it at all. It would feel so much more natural for me
