One Stars

another one of these short Chinese BL's that has 2 or 3 actors at the max, all shot in a Japanese house - probably all filmed in japan. makes u wonder how many of these actors went on this filming trip & how many BL's were made. recognized the actor playing Cheng Hai from Lost in Kyoto , while i don't recognize the other actor - but he is a beauty. *******************************the plot is interesting - well there isn't much of a plot. but have to say eating spoilt yogurt won't give u a fever, u for sure will suffer from diarrhea, heck even explosive diarrhea, which by the end will leave u bone tired, but it wont start with a fever or feeling weak. more like intense stomach pains & then spending the rest of the night on the toilet. but i guess that aint sexy lol. but interesting 1st ep - short as it was

Oooh so we went a little darker

Im someone that loves reading and watching dark novels/movies. I thought after EP1 we wouldn't be surprised anymore, but i stand corrected. I do not want to go into the full graphic detail. That person deserved what happened to him. Shocked me. How could HE?!!!! Is this driven by revenge? A game? Hmm that remains to be seen. I was full on supporting one of the kids but now everyone has me questioning who could the killer be? We got a little touch of love interest as well. I enjoyed how Jade is driving Kamin crazy, lol. His way is much much different from how Kamin usually works. Every Kamin needs a Jade in their life to bring to lighten them up once in a while. Hehe. Again im especially proud of Dunk. He went above and beyond for his role here and i fully support him. Im loving how unaffected by 'someone' he's trying to pull. His facial expressions when getting serious. The way he carries himself (Joong as well infact). Their outfits are amazing and totally suits their roles. Cant wait for EP3. See y'all after New Year .

Hands Down a Giant 10 stars!!! ⭐

JoongDunk has nailed it again with this Romantic, Suspense/Thriller, Comedic Series! I love how this hooked me quickly, kept me wanting more once i completed EP1. The story had me guessing and entwined. Look at me piecing up the investigation alongside Inspector Kamin and Capt. Jade. Loved how they met. And yes, the driving was horrible Inspector. No excuses. Dunk Natachai is so into his role. His expressions and visuals are awesome. And Joong Archen showing his playful but very serious personality. I like the easy going persona they gave him. I honestly he is himself here. Jade is Joong. Joong is Jade The kiddos are delivering as well. They've worked so hard on this project and wish for everyone to support them. Cant wait for EP2. Who the hell is killed that girl?

Safe, seen, and supported

Episode 19 leans fully into the theme of family, and it’s one of the most emotionally grounding episodes so far. The ML’s difficult background continues to unfold, and the FL slowly begins to understand just how much he’s been carrying. These revelations add depth to his character and strengthen their connection.The interactions between the ML and the FL’s cousin are particularly adorable — playful, but clearly intentional. The cousin’s protectiveness comes from a genuine place; he wants to make sure the FL doesn’t get hurt, and it’s reassuring to see that care extended to the ML as well.We also gain a clearer understanding of both the ML’s and FL’s parents and their dynamics, which helps contextualise so many past decisions. What stands out most is how far the FL has grown under the ML’s guidance and support. Unlike her father, he actively encourages her development and believes in her potential.Thankfully, the SML only makes a brief appearance — just enough to remind us how easily he ruins the mood. As I’ve said before, if he didn’t have the courage to act when she was single and pining for him, he certainly won’t find it now that someone else is choosing her. The episode closes with more smiles and endearing moments for the FL, and honestly, that says everything.It also feels like there’s still more to uncover about the ML’s past — not big revelations, but emotional details that explain why he supports quietly and values chosen family so deeply.

Collecting snow sculptures.

It was a cute outing feeding the deer and gotta grin at Jiang Rui’s knees covered with snack plates as he chats with XiGuang. He has challenged Lin to a race and Lin accepts. I like that XiGuang has her mini snow sculptures lined up nicely on her balcony ledge, but there is no way I would share the front and have their backsides facing the room. It would be much easier to admire them facing the other way. 😝While I usually like the sibling relationship of XiGuang and Jiang Rui, his brotherly protective stance and loud blabbermouth talking has alerted Xu’s wingman to Lin’s “chasing” status. The last thing Xu needs is hope.😝 I hope Chris finds a way to thump the traitor soon. She specifically asked him to not tell and he took the first opportunity when she was out of earshot. It is nice that Lin is taking the time to be on good terms with Jiang Rui, but I also like that he sets him straight on not being able to call the shots with XiGuang. This was a good and proper boundary, plus the collector snow board bribe wasn’t a bad consolation prize. I like the mothers together. They had the possibility of a good friendship had family and bad investor now ‘ex’ husband been out of the way. I hope that their children bring this full circle to what should have been. XiGuang’s mom has felt a bit lost since the divorce and wanting to find new purpose. I think XiGuang asking her those business questions and Lin’s mom stating matter of factly she always felt she had better sense of business than Nie is letting her brain churn and get creating again. I would like to see this group get close without the bad eggs interfering. Not gonna happen but I can wish. For now I most want to clobber the wingman guy for planting a seed in Xu’s brain about XiGuang. He should play back his mean words and actions and stay bowed out gracefully. This episode is more about setting up for interference to the nice tranquil setting. 😝

this ep was basically fluffy filler, yeah…

this ep was basically fluffy filler, yeah it was cute that the main couple acted like a couple (& i mean by this, that Uea stopped with his hard to get act) but like i mentioned in the previous ep - this whole BL could've been cut down to 8 eps & not for a sec, would anyone feel like something was lacking. **************************************************************************************as the main subject or Uea's mother was never dealt with. so yeah it's great that King's parents accepted Uea, but given his mother, his step father being a pedo & his half-sister being dependent on Uea, add to this the fact they have money & statues - this would become an issue sooner or later. but everything was brushed off & we were just given a lot of positive fluffy, that was way unrealistic - but it is what it is. **********************************************************************************************this could've been more, but as per usual issues r just used as plot devices, but then never addressed or solved in any way. this whole BL relied more on the sexual chemistry between the mains IMO & nothing more, so idk how i feel about this - but know this a one off.

Lan’s story

The princess was being forced to marry a ruler in Wu who was elderly and debauched. Our trio escaped the guards and made plans to find Lan and rescue the princess. They escape with the princess assisted by an old woman. Turns out the old woman is Lan. She figured out the sister of princess poisoned her with miasma ice and framed Lan. While Lan was being beaten, the Kun blade slipped off and was kicked into the pond. A guard spared her to give birth and she was sent to a penal colony. When she came back, she chanced to see the sister and the young princess. She knows the princess was killed and her child stolen. The prince was most likely conveniently poisoned as well. Bi Zhi has the twin blades now and it remains to be seen what will happen with Lan, Lu Feng and the princess/daughter. It was an interesting spin to tie everybody together. BeiLu was funny scaring the guards off with his consumption story.😂🤣 Lan doesn’t have much time left so I am glad she is getting to share her story with those most needing to hear it.

Finding the Kun blade

The market lord is not happy to learn BeiLu is just a “normal” person. She is bribed with cosmetics and I think she has a soft spot for BiXhi. The card game was hilarious😂🤣 So many face tapes and she agrees to give new location but it is rather vague. Lu Feng has remembered his time with Lan and seems to have made a true transformation. He wants to see Lan one last time and because she has the Ken blade and history won’t be changed Lu Feng is allowed to go along. The kitchen scene has Lan rescuing the chefs because the triple was left without ice and spoiled. I The princess has a guest and they are drinking tea. Funny how the guest said she would drink the soup and enjoy even poisoned. The princess who is with child ended up dying because of licorice and fishe combo. The guest had her drink more tea right after the soup so I think she had her eyes in the prince and decided to get princess and heir out of the way. She ci venientky has Lan framed for the crime. Lan is also with child and she is beaten to death. BiZhi finds the other blade to be in the pond. I am hoping they can somehow rescue Lan and/or the child and Lu Feng have a family in his time. Waiting to see if that will be allowed.

Friends and family

BiZhi learned the ripple effect of his actions. The market Lord also belongs to Time Administration and offered him the task of redeeming himself by collecting ZiYi’s collection through time to repair the rifts. She is reminded this is not typical protocol but she makes it happen. BiZhi and BeiLu return to past and he learns the jade was stolen and gets the chance to speak to and bury the one he sent to get evidence. She sees BeiLu and is content because she believed thy succeeded. BeiLu sees ZiYi and sees how they look identical. In the present, he finds his origami dog and now knows BiZhi rescued him from the car crash. BeiLu’s vet clinic scene seemed like a dream sequence with his mentor having a meal and encouraging him. BeiLu got encouragement to be his own man and direct his own path without worrying what others thought or expected. Whether this actually happened or a snack coma dream BeiLu was having, I’m not sure. I still have no clue who Mr Dong is or why he has access to Yashe and BiZhi’s home. Is he a time monitor or something? BiZhi doesn’t comment on why he’s there when BeiLu specifically asked. BeiLu’s friends have found a new place to crash and BiZhi sees how is life is changing in this era. BeiLu wants to help him complete his task to retrieve ZiYi’s treasures and then asks BiZhi to stay in this time. These two misfits have found each other, whether by chance or design, and have created a family. There is hope for both of them to become more than they expected of themselves.

Fighting fate

BeiLu spent time with his family. He thought he had rescued his parents but they had called an ambulance to have him get treated. While they were still in parking lot the call for accident arrived. BeiLu is devestated and begs BiZhi to help him change the outcome. BiZhi takes him to the forbidden room and tells his backstory with ZiYi. He knew that BeiLu would not be convinced otherwise so he shared his experiences at trying to cheat fate to save his best friend. No matter how often he tried, or changed peripheral occurrences, ZiYi always ended up dead. The only thing that really changed was how many others died along with him. BiZhi was still hellbent on saving him and found himself at the time rift market. Here episode ends. This episode was successful at making you feel their anguish in fighting a hopeless cause. They both want to know why people that could do so much good for the world were cut down in their prime with such a weak legacy left. The cast and production team made the varying circumstances come to life. It was well done .😭
