its pretty low key thanks to the setting i'd say? even tho its apparent at the same time... i won't lie i wasn't exactly sure who i thought the main ML was at certain points the way its handled ... its great tho.

yeah sadly being a historical drama you can't really not have it that way since it was a mandated hairstyle of the times to my understanding , you get used to it after a while if you aren't in the first place ( i grew up watching kung fu movies with my father and never really questioned it till i was older and semi used to it). drama is great despite the setting an all tho.

i don't think i've ever seen another drama play the long game so well with a revenge plot ,.. from start to finish this one was entertaining and i was never bored with this one despite its 70ep length

this is too true ,, i started it last week and only have ~6 eps left , i often shy away with large number counts like this but i might just have to watch a few more long ones that've been sitting on my backlog a decade

the characters are so similar yet so different that Somehow i didn't realize the FL was the same as the double which i watched a couple months ago before this . shes great in both , i'm lowkey ashamed i didn't realize it tho lol

started watching the remap playthrough of this yesterday morning and man .. this was unexpectedly solid as a fmv game

not amazing but solid ,/.. better than the other couple thai BL i've watched tho i definitely expected something more.

ahh that at least makes alot more sense then , they definitely could've conveyed that better , it only looked like the lights were dimmed a tad , i'm definitely seen darker shot stuff so its a weird choice. considering hau yong changes his voice a bit tonally i guess i could see it there and gao tu well if i recall he tried not talking if i recall.

no shade to those who loved this but ...i don't get it . i fell off a bit in the week to week after ep7 for life reasons ,.. picked it back up yesterday to binge the rest since it was finished now and ... i feel like i shouldn't have? i've not read/watched any other omegaverse stuff somehow , but i have read my share of shonen ai mangas and its not even the rather twisted nature of hua yong that bothered me nor the NC stuff ( since its sadly a common element in these ) so much as the weird plot bits that made no sense... like even ignoring all the grossness with all the manipulation .. why did both couple's partners not recognize they slept with the other after that particular part of the show . in one case you've been living with the person X amount of time in the other you've known them so many years how the heck could you not tell by either their voice or face that it was them? i mean i get gao tu tried hiding his face but they clearly showed the fact that he became restrained so wouldn't shen have seen in then? ... and the pacing after that was sorta all over the place where things dragged on a bit too long and the ending itself just felt rushed, the time jump was the worst part of it tho with the kid in the ballpit and boom gao tu and shen meet , then another cut to shen being on death row sorta? i'm hoping its a weird translation bit cause otherwise wth happened!? ...

overall it had an interesting premise but i swear it was a poor execution

yeah its nuts . the chemistry and acting is what makes this so good , the plot itself is just ok-good

same! i have a love/hate relationship with dramas like this ,.. on one hand i love them being good on the other hand it lowkey ruins the enjoyment i get out of other ones for a while awhen they don't hit those highs .

the little snake is often on chi cheng's arm in a your holding your pet dog type of way , the snake pit fight in that first ep is the only time thats really shown tho there is another scene about half in that involves in being wraped around -redacted- but its ok in the end . every now n then in the earlier eps you see snakes for plot reasons but the later half after the indecent. they aren't That prominent overall and not in every scene no .

i feel the same way . great show anyway , the acting and chemistry was amazing , if not for those slight fumbles it would've been a 10 instead of a 9 on my list . the last ep in particular felt this way in particular moreso than previous ones. but still with the time we were given it was great.

its sorta a pride thing yes , thats what it boils down to

honestly the forcefulness really feels like it dies down after a bit ( in a good way) a couple eps past your spot , obviously i can't speak to a rushed ending or not with 1 ep left , but i'll say particularly with ep 23 the character arc/growth in this is pretty great . i haven't seen addicted so i can't compare

just realized a bit ago also , i hadn't watched this past monday and tuesdays yet n was like :O next week! i was thinking there was another week left

yeah they're acting is pretty great , its part of what makes the show so good .

i can't say if it was edited or not honestly , but i will say i was pretty happy with it . i love a tastefully done heated romance scene and even if not explicit i found it satisfying, it definitely felt better than ep 10 imo which while good felt a bit disjointed.

its ok to like what you like :) i wish more of my family and friends shared my niche interests

same honestly . i mean a low rating is fine cause tastes can be different but its rare i ever read 1s or 10s , 1s are usually a troll and 10 while Sometimes perfectly warranted tend to be given out too freely and are generally strictly cause a particular actor/actress/idol is in it . i mean i have my 'favorites' too but its rare a show is a solid 10.
