They really need to make a sequel to this after Tang Yi gets out of jail and Shao Fei eagerly waits for him. Matter of fact it’s time for another History series.😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🥰
DIRECTOR AND PRODUCERS, if you're reading this, try to release it outside of china through netflix or gagaoolala or whatever platform. Some returns is better than zero return.
what's peraya? I don't really know much about kristsingto's history so had to ask.
A lot of people forget, but it was Sotus, Krist and Singto’s first series, that popularized BL series in their current format. It really changed everything at the time.
Choi Hyunwook doesn’t just play his roles, he owns them. Every single performance is pure perfection — His performances are incredible. And let’s not forget his visuals — he’s so cool and handsome.🫶✨️
I love this story and I cannot stand the takes people are having about it. *Caution* there will be spoilers in this comment.
I own all four volumes of the manga and have watched the show. It is not a gay romance. It is not considered bl. What people are missing from this entire story is the build up. The confession and people dismissing it as BL and a romance takes away so much from the story. Comments confirming any aspect of romance is THE spoiler and reduces the story's complexity.
You are not suppose to consume the comic or show with even thinking that there is romance. It really is psychological and you are supposed to question the intentions of both characters. I have been following this story since the first volume was available on Kindle and volume four is when the confession occurs and is displayed in episode eight of the show. The manga is not even advertised as a romance or BL (Tokyopop even has the genre as "slice of life" and "drama") . The mangaka has made BL comics but this is not one of them. This is coming from someone that does consume media that is considered BL. You cannot take away the intentions of this story from the creator and dismiss it as BL when the point is the build up/journey.
Gotta love the VP of Korean Content villainising the international kdrama fan community for illegal distribution, and bitching about us not paying for it. Korean networks (same goes for Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, Thai, etc.) didn't distribute abroad back in the day, so it's not like we could've just bought a "legal" DVD/VHS. Trust me, been in this since 2006, and spent a lot of time searching for a way to support the creators by buying official copies. They literally didn't exist back then.
So people recorded the raw dramas, and volunteer teams spent weeks or months transcribing, translating and creating subtitles for fans abroad. This wasn't bootlegging - no one asked for money (beyond possibly a few donations to cover bandwidth and storage costs when increased demand led to heavy server needs). The availability of subtitles massively increased the awareness and popularity of Korean dramas, expanding the market. Effectively, these fans provided years of unpaid promo.
Then in swoops a bunch of rich American companies, seeing a market ripe for the picking. They paywall everything, pay some poor translators a pittance to create lower-quality subtitles under time pressure, and then demonise the very people who created the demand (for free!) in the first place.
Only 796 years left.
