can someone tell me what’s behind this story. is this really what happened to bts ? who created the story. was…
It's a fictional story about youth and its struggles, and it's not related to their real lives. It’s based on the BTS Universe (BU), which is a fictional world created through BTS's music, music videos, and stuff like webtoon and novels. In the story, the members of BTS play characters, with each of them representing one of the characters in the music videos and short films.
BTS members haven't really talked about this drama (it aired while they were serving in the military), so we don't know how involved they were, but I doubt they were (too) involved. The casting team did a great job though, the actors look a lot like the BTS members and their BU characters.
Also, while these stories aren’t directly related to the real lives of the BTS members, some characters share similarities with them. For example, Yoongi/Cein has a connection to the piano (Yoongi’s first encounter with music was through the piano, and he even has a song called 'First Love' dedicated to it). Namjoon/Dogeon is highly intelligent, while Hoseok/Hosu and Jimin/Haru are both skilled dancers. All the dramatic and sad stuff about their lives is fictional tho.
is this drama worth watchingg? I feel the buzz ard it not as much as other dramas that aired almost same time
I would say it is. The story is great, and the actors are excellent. It didn't have big-name stars to promote it, and it aired at the same time as other dramas that did, which is the reason why it hasn't gotten the recognition it deserves, I think.
It's best to watch a few episodes and judge for yourself.
It was a bit confusing at times, but I really enjoyed the medieval, high-fantasy, LOTR-esque elvish vibes, especially enhanced by the music. It was a lot of fun to watch and visually stunning. However, some of the characters' facial expressions felt flat at times. Overall, I went in with no expectations and was pleasantly surprised.
I think in my case the reason why I so easily accepted the whole Hao Tian arc is because I subconsciously drew…
There’s so much to unpack in this story. For example, someone mentioned earlier how the relationship between Feng Xiang Zun Zhe and Qian Guang Jun is like the sun and moon. I never thought of it that way, but it makes perfect sense. Even if these interpretations weren’t what the creators originally planned, it just shows how great the story is. It leaves room for so many different meanings and interpretations.
If this drama could have a redo, I would have liked the last arc (HT and Tenet like) to have more substance and…
I think in my case the reason why I so easily accepted the whole Hao Tian arc is because I subconsciously drew a lot of parallels between his story and biblical ones, especially Old Testament stories. Hao Tian comes across as an Old Testament version of God. The creator, but also the destroyer. He likes to test people and punish them. Generally, he's much more involved in the functioning of the world he created than his later interpretations. When Hao Tian saw that the world he created was failing (his divine artifacts started rebelling and developing emotions & humans and deities were in chaos), that there was lawlessness, he, like the Old Testament God, decided to reset the world. The first one sent the Great Flood and wiped out nearly all living beings, and who knows what HT planned. Also, I mentioned this once while the series was airing, but Zhao Ming reminded me of Jesus in one scene (LOL). But thinking about it more, I can draw even more parallels. Like how Hao Tian can't descend into the mortal world in his true form, but has to do it through Zhao Ming, just like God descended to earth in the form of his son (the Holy Trinity). In any case, all those parallels with stories I've known since I was a child made it easier for me to accept the entire logic of the Hao Tian arc without any problem.
As for the time traveling aspect, I kinda just vibed with it. I don't think time traveling can be logically explained, especially when it comes to the process of changing the past. It's just infinite loops and different timelines and a whole lot of logical inconsistencies. One of the reasons why I didn't like Tenet is that I couldn't understand it. It was just so convoluted.
But I do agree that they could've shortened CP/ZM arc and elaborated more on the HT situation or just given us more interactions between Demon ZM and MXL. People would've probably been happier with that ship dynamic.
It doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t like it, I loved it. I was interested in the 2ML’s story so I didn’t…
TBH, I totally forgot about the villain, and the ending was okay (like, the last episode), but the last 6 or so episodes were just really underwhelming. I can’t even remember what exactly happened, but I clearly remember feeling disappointed. And it had so much potential.
I wish I hadn’t read other comments saying the last arc of the drama isn’t as good. Anyway, I watched *Kill…
It doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t like it, I loved it. I was interested in the 2ML’s story so I didn’t mind that he played a big role in that arc. Just watch it and enjoy the ride! 😁
I also watched Kill Me, Love Me and didn't like the last few episodes. I didn't feel like that for TBL tho.
I am blocked now, too! I realised bc when I logged in, the comments were no where to be found. I 've come to the…
😆😆😆 She got butthurt over my original comment where I mention being blocked by her, but it doesn't change the fact that she blocked all of us who disagree with her. So, whatever. I don't care anymore. She can stay in her own echo chamber.
Quite a solid story with interesting characters. The ending is rather bleak, which fits with the darker tone of…
And also, I have to say a few words about Wang Duo, because he's the reason I started watching this. He won me over again with his acting! Gong Zi is such a compelling mix of vulnerability, manipulation, sincerity, and deceit. You can’t help but feel sympathy for him, yet his ruthlessness, driven by his misery, makes him completely morally grey. He’s so interesting!
Before starting this, I thought he would be the main antagonist, because the pictures posted here make him look so evil (lol), but he was actually really pitiful.
Did I ship him with Wan Mei? Not at all! It was obvious she doesn't love him and every time he "humiliated" himself while confessing his love I wanted to curl and die from secondhand embarrassment. However, Wang Duo's acting was outstanding! He conveyed every emotion so effectively.

I wouldn't mind seeing those too, but yeah, 3k pictures is insane already.
