Freen and Becky are chemistry icons.

Up to this date the air is the best tv rated gl show ever with it's 2+ rating every single week until the last episode. It proves that freen and becky are not just for hype or for online videos but they can also leveled with other shows on live tv. The show was a bit rush and not as polish but to be fair the production had a lot of problem with the scheduling and idol factory stepping back from the project but still it continued. The acting of the leads and even the side characters and villains. The characters Henry and Grace did a very convincible villain. All and all the chemistry of freenbecky bag it for me. All and all i'm waiting for freenbecky's next series.

Strong Performances, Forgettable Story

The male and female leads both did a great job with their performances.
This is my third drama with Bai Lu. I've previously watched her in Till the End of the Moon and Only for Love, and I was never particularly impressed with her acting. At times, I found it a bit immature. However, she completely changed my opinion in this drama. Her performance was consistently strong from the very beginning, especially through her dialogue delivery. The scene in Episode 34 where she cries at the tomb was absolutely outstanding and, in my opinion, one of the best emotional moments in the series.
As for the drama itself, I thought the plot was easy to follow and well-structured. However, I found the overall pacing quite boring. It took me forever to finish because there were several episodes where I couldn't stay engaged. Sometimes I just let the show play in the background so I could eventually finish it and cross it off my watchlist.
Overall, while the acting especially Bai Lu's was a pleasant surprise, the story never really captivated me. I was honestly surprised to see so many people calling it the best period C-drama of 2026 so far. It simply didn't leave that kind of impression on me.

2ML - The Most Intriguing Character

The Legend of Rosy Clouds is a pretty weird watch. Parts of it are honestly super boring, but the humor is quite good that it kept me hooked. I think the drama has a low rating because it starts with a trope that a lot of romance fans aren't crazy about: an immediate divorce and a messy love triangle. The main couple gets married right in the first episode, but they split up almost immediately, even though they still care about each other.

The reason? The female lead, Fan Yun (played by Li Yi Tong), doesn’t want to be a traditional housewife. Her dream is to become a government official. Her husband, Governor Qi Zheng (played by Joseph Zeng), sees her potential, grants her the divorce, and actually helps her chase her dreams. He is totally devoted to her, but unfortunately, she just doesn't feel the same way. Then we have a second guy who also adores Fan Yun. He will do absolutely anything to protect her, in his weird way, even though Qi Zheng usually beats him to it.

At its heart, this is a story about a woman fighting for equal rights so that everyday people and women can work in the government. It feels really modern, and it definitely reminded me of the real world, where older men still hold all the power.

The show takes way too long to get going. The first 20 episodes are a slow burn just setting up Fan Yun’s character, her goals, and her relationships with the two guys. Because it takes so long to build up, the first half of the drama feels like a drag. If it weren't for the funny moments, I might have dropped it.

Things finally pick up after Episode 20, but the writing is still all over the place. For example, a massive rebellion randomly happens out of nowhere. There is no buildup and no introduction to the rebels; they just suddenly appear. It felt like lazy writing just to force a plot twist. The villains are confusing too. One of the powerful "Elders" starts off looking like the big bad guy, but by the end, the show tries to make him a hero. It’s fine to keep the audience guessing, but it doesn't work when the character is just unlikable. To top it off, a whole new family (the Zheng family) pops up in the final episodes. Most of them are totally flat characters, yet they suddenly become a huge part of how the story ends, making the finale feel messy.

The best part of the show is how weird and quirky the characters are, though the writers didn't really do much with them.

There is a guy who constantly gets lost, but somehow he is a top official. There is a guy who plays a flute that everyone hates; he wins second place in the court exam and then just vanishes from the show for no reason. Then there's a boy medical genius who wins first place in the court exam and turns into a master martial artist whenever he drinks alcohol. He was cool, but his character development just stops, and he becomes background decoration. There is even a masked official who wears super bright, colorful outfits but never takes off his mask or contributes much after his introduction. They are all fascinating concepts, but they end up being pretty one-dimensional.

On the bright side, Joseph Zeng does a great job as Qi Zheng. The character isn't written very well, but Joseph’s acting and his big, expressive eyes completely save the character. I also really liked Deng Wei’s character, Zheng Shi (who goes by Lou Qi Yan when pretending to be a foreign trader). He leads a double life, defying his grandfather's wishes to become a top official so he can live a free life as a merchant instead. He’s a morally grey character, and Deng Wei totally aced the role.

For me, the sweetest part of the whole show was the relationship between Zheng Shi and his grandfather. It was so heartwarming. Honestly, I gave the drama a higher rating just because of them. It really hits home because anyone who has lost a parent or grandparent knows that feeling of regret for not listening to them while they were here.

Because I loved that relationship so much, I am disappointed about how the writers ruined Zheng Shi's ending. He was such a cool, complex character who started as a villain (kind of) but became a trusted friend to Fan Yun. But in the end, the writers turned his love into a toxic obsession. It totally ruined his image and ruined what could have been a really tragic, beautiful love triangle.

My Final Verdict
The Legend of Rosy Clouds has major pacing issues and sloppy writing. It spends way too much time spinning its wheels on character introductions and side characters that don't matter. But even with all the plot holes and frustrating choices, the comedy and the occasional emotional moments make it a decent watch. Watch it when nothing else to watch.

Good plot bad execution

This series has a good plot but bad execution
One among the things that affect it is pace it is so slow you get tired of it after episode 2.
They had a nice storyline that could have made this amazing and keep us on our toes instead they gave us a taste of something sweet and then left us like that just reminding us that we tasted something sweet than continuing giving it to us.

Let me give you an example the first episode human vapor shows his power and tell everyone he will do it again live on national tv and then story goes to somewhere else and then stay there until the end they come back to good stuff.

You can watch but you wont be satsified with it.

One of the most beautiful queer friendship movie,

Everything about this movie was amazing. From the cinematography to the acting and story. Every scene is extremely strong. As a gay man myself I feel like Heung Su is extremely relatable and well portrayed, unlike many Korean 'bl's'. It's realistic, with actual representation and homophobia. I didn't know what to expect at first, but you know a show is good when Primary is the composer. This is my first time watching a movie that Lee Eon Hee has directed but I'm for sure tempted to watch more of her work.

The opening scene was extremely strong, just like many other scene's. Their friendships had up and downs, just like every realistic friendship. I really like how Koo Jae Hui was protective over Jang Heung and how she did not let any homophobia slide. They clearly cared about each other without romantic feelings attached. When they fight, they make up and come together again. I really need a friendship like this.

One main problem I have with Korean queer movies/series is how unrealistic it is compared to the reality in Korea. Korea is not the most LGBTQ friendly country and I liked how this movie showed the reality instead. I don't like how the homophobia topic is often ignored, and this show just showed it amazing. I also like how they made Koo Jae have realistic experiences as a female. How she is being called a sl/t for sleeping with men for example.

I'm extremely shocked by the acting. Everything feels real, relatable and I really lived along with Jang Heung. I feel like he acted amazing. Whether Steve Noh is straight or not doesn't matter. Either way he portrayed being gay extremely well. As for Kim Go Eun, she acted extremely well aswell. I love how she played the crazy friend. I'm gonna be honest but I wasn't super interested in her love life since she always ended up with red flags and honestly, I'm surprised Jang Heung was able to keep up with her, because I wouldn't. The homophobic mother being extremely absent was also a nice detail.

The whole French made my rating drop a bit because, as someone who is half French, this was extremely weird. Like sure Jae Hui has lived in Paris but the stereotypes were kinda crazy. I would've loved if they had chosen another city and less stereotypes. Also the French is a bit weird to listen to but that's okay. Calling her French because she lived in France made it confusing for me in the beginning.

I like how the movie had an open ending. You can make whatever you want to with it. I'm defiantly interested in seeing the actors and directors in/with other projects involved and I'm just extremely impressed. Just really happy about the actual representation and not just what the media shows you about Korea.

Misery...

On paper this is perfect, and between Lighter & Princess and The First Frost I've enjoyed my fair share of second chance romance cdramas. The main leads here have really great chemistry and I love that the FL is realistic and practical; it's refreshing to see an FL that's not your typical bubbly and naive one. And I'm so happy that they let her use her own voice and dressed her accordingly — this drama let her be a baddie because her post-timeskip outfits were SO pretty :^)

With that being said, in practice, I found the story kind of...miserable to get through. The villains were downright evil and I felt like they such a huge impact on the actions of the leads and thus the overall plot that I couldn't fully enjoy it. Even when it was a scene that was supposed to be happy or fun, I felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop and there was a dark cloud hanging over everything — I didn't really start enjoying everything in full until after the time jump and reunion, which didn't come until too late in the show in my opinion.

I'm disappointed because I think I would've really loved the leads otherwise.

The Later episodes along with good PR saved this show and made it what is

Let me start by saying I don’t think it’s a bad drama. The later episodes were okay, but the first part…..like the first 12 episodes? EEEEYUCK!!!!

Everything about those first few episodes rubbed me the wrong way. I know a lot of people are going to say, “But he didn’t like her then.” “It was just a one-sided puppy crush,” blah, blah, blah. While that is technically true, the story is being told from HER point of view. I’m not in his head the way I’m in hers. I’m not insinuating anything, but it’s still something to think about.

Outside of that, I hated and frankly felt completely uncomfortable with how the writing purposely created situations that allowed the two of them to constantly end up ALONE together in small, enclosed spaces. Yeah, nothing inappropriate was actually done, but some things just don’t sit right with me.

The slow-motion shots whenever she stared at him, the romantic background music, the way it was portrayed as though she’s the only one who “gets him”… If it’s supposed to be a one-sided puppy love, what was the purpose of turning these regular interactions into romantic scenes with slow-mo editing and a sentimental soundtrack?

And it went on for like 12 episodes……..basically half the whole show. One or two episodes would’ve been enough. Then they could’ve done the time skip to college, which would’ve felt much more appropriate.

There’s nothing wrong with age-gap relationships, but in this case, those first few episodes just weirded me out a bit. Even though I know the male lead wasn’t in love with her or romantically interested in her at the time, the way certain scenes were edited where she’s in her school uniform and he’s in regular clothes, clearly emphasizing their age difference, paired with her baby voice and his much more mature one just left me stunned.

Those scenes weren’t doing what they were supposed to. They were clearly meant to come across as innocent and from a place of admiration, but the editing intentionally made them feel inappropriate. I honestly would’ve preferred if they had kept a little more distance between them and not made them seem so close or familiar during that stage of the story.

Anyway, I think the directors made some very questionable choices there.

Then HE was the one who confessed, and I was just like… Okay, when did you suddenly start seeing her as a woman instead of that little girl you used to tutor?

I just wish I had never started this drama. I don’t have a problem with it as a whole, but those first few episodes left such a bad impression on me that I couldn’t stop thinking about them. Even when the story moved on and became more tolerable, I kept getting pulled back to those early scenes and feeling uncomfortable all over again.

So no, I didn’t hate the entire drama. The later episodes were okay. But because of how strongly I disliked the first part, I spent the rest of the show overthinking things and getting disgusted whenever my mind drifted back to those early episodes.

VERY WEIRD.

É isso?

A premissa do bl era interessante onde acompanhamos Zhan Wang, um jovem de 17 anos que retorna à sua cidade natal onde foi muito feliz com sua avó, mas carregando consigo um diagnóstico de câncer terminal. Lá, ele conhece Xu Yuan, um estudante marcado pelos preconceitos da cidade por ser considerado um garoto azarado/pé frio então ninguém gosta de tê-lo por perto, ele não tem amigos, é constantemente humilhado pelas pessoas, mas a dor de cada um vai uni-los, eles passam a criar uma relação de amizade, companherismo, sentimentos vão surgindo mas muitos problemas também.

Honestamente estou decepcionado com esse final, pra mim sem pé nem cabeça, não entendi, não gostei mesmo. A série começou numa crescente, personagens interessantes, mas pra mim foi esfriando pro fim terminando com esse final tenebroso. Definitivamente não gostei e preferia não ter nem assistido. Muitas questões e segredos são revelados, o motivo do pai do Zhan Wang ser tão homofóbico contra os seus filhos é revelado, mas toda a situação do hospital pro fim da série deixou muito a desejar.

Eu lembro que tem uma cena final de um episódio que revela uma pessoa nua de costas com o corpo completamente tatuado, acho que seria uma das pessoas que estava causando problema pra família do Xu Yuan mas honestamente ficou só nisso, não lembro dessa pessoa ter sido revelada nem nada do tipo, então assim, não entendi. Não vale a pena, deixou muito a desejar com o final então se for pra assistir para receber aquele final não vale.

Absolute perfection. A dark, shatterning masterpiece that redefines GL

I cannot even fully explain how I feel after finishing this series. I didn’t just watch it; I devoured it. This show completely destroyed me in the best way possible. I have watched many series before—including top-tier BLs like Not Me or KinnPorsche—and while I enjoyed them, I have never cried so purely from the bottom of my heart until now. Broken (Of) Love is a masterpiece on an entirely different level.
Until episode 5, the show was already incredibly high quality, but episodes 6 and especially 7 completely shattered me. Episode 7 is easily my absolute favorite. The emotional depth and the acting are mind-blowing.
Lalin is a walking angel. The scene where she learns the truth about why Arisa did what she did, and she responds with so much unconditional devotion, made me sob. When she says she doesn't feel a single ounce of hatred because she actually understands Arisa's trauma... that is the ultimate form of pure love. She chooses understanding over anger in a world full of wreckage.
What makes this show a 10/10 (honestly, a 1000/10) is that it doesn't just focus on a shallow romance. It is a heavy, dark, psychological thriller that respects the depth and pain of women. The plot twists genuinely shock you. The commentary on the abuse of women is played so powerfully. The moment Wei Ling stays to help destroy the body of an abusive husband just to protect the woman she loves hits incredibly hard. It shows the terrifying reality of women having to become cold-blooded to survive monsters together. Even the generational love story between the mothers is so rare, beautiful, and monumental.
My deep apologies to Lalin's mother for ever doubting her—she is the ultimate green flag!
If you want a shallow, easy romance, this isn't it. But if you want raw emotional intimacy, breathtaking acting, a gripping dark plot, and a story where women fiercely protect each other against all odds, watch this immediately. This is PEAK television.
