Slowest burn ever
Liuyi is a gang leader and he falls for Chusan a top student.
What I Like
I love the action, I love that they tried to do a historical drama and I love the acting. I especially loved that the top/bottom dynamic wasn’t what you’d expect. I like that this show has mystery, twists, tense moments and Chusan taking care of Liuyi.
What I Don’t Like
It takes wayyy too long for them to get together… after watching for 9 hours I was impatient and it was just a brief kiss. I understand slow burn but the way they did it isn’t rewarding for a romance series. This show also loves to kill off a character that’s a threat then show there’s a bigger threat. This show also ended with plenty of unsolved questions, which I hope they tackle in a season 2, but if it never happens I’ll be annoyed.
Nitpick (lol)
Even though I like that they tried to do a historical drama the setting is completely wrong (there’s no sunlight in the walled city), inaccurate (no gangs in the 80s). Also shouldn’t he be getting nicotine withdrawals from quitting smoking so suddenly?
