The Spirealm

Censored b(Romance) ♥️

Honestly I love love bl dramas where they show the love between the leads through eyes and acts of service (hate censorship though)😭♥️

The love is so subtle but loud at the same time and I think this drama portrayed and delivered it very well. The actors nailed it, could definitely feel their emotions and the love they had for each other. I loved the story (minus the ending, lowkey hated it), the characters and all the actors. The series ended up making me read the novel and I loved it more because of the ending but I think the series itself did a very good job keeping the censorship in mind.

The concept of the doors was so unique and I enjoyed it very much!! All the characters were good, loved the side characters and door ghosts as much as I loved the main leads. And this is probably one of the dramas that made me bawl my eyes after so long, I was literally crying my eyes out.😭😭😭

I will adore this drama and cherish it so much 🩷♥️

WOW! The first bromance drama after Chinese government's ban.

After a year of hearing about the Chinese government's ban on bromance dramas or BL novel adaptations, I'm glad we finally got to see this beautiful bromance drama from mainland China in 2024.

I still remember when this drama first aired—it had a rating of only 7.8. But now? It's 8.9! MDL ratings don't lie.
For me, if a drama has more than 8.5, it's enough to get me hooked & curious.

Ruan Lanzhu—he’s incredibly talented. Just because of his acting in this drama, I totally adore him now.
Every time I see him with Ling Jiushi, it makes me happy. Their chemistry reminds me of Lan Zhan and Wei Ying (The Untamed vibes!).

Sometimes I just wanted to slap Ling Jiushi—he’s so slow at picking up hints from Ruan Lanzhu. Haha!
Ruan Lanzhu’s gestures every time he looks at Ling Jiushi… they seriously made me feel shy!

Li Dong Yuan is also great—his acting is good and he’s hilarious. I want to see him in more bromance dramas too.

The OST is very good and easy to listen to.
But yes, this drama itself is a bit creepy and the songs make it even creepier! I watched it at midnight… still acceptable though. Haha!

Spoiler alert—what I didn’t like was finding out that Ruan Lanzhu isn’t human.
I’m sorry for spoiling it, but I really felt Ling Jiushi’s pain—his sadness and disappointment when he knew that Ruan Lanzhu was just a creation of a virtual world.
Their bond was so strong, but in the end, they had to say goodbye because they came from different worlds.

Thankfully, it still has a happy ending, even though the final episode felt a bit too short.
They met again after a decade—Ling Jiushi created a virtual world game just so he could see his friend, Ruan Lanzhu, again. And Ruan Lanzhu lives on in that virtual world.

I really hope there will be a Season 2 with the same cast. I still remember them so clearly.

Highly recommended!

I actually knew a little about it from my sister and a friend who recommended it to us in the BL group as an amazing bromance. I said to myself why not and I don't regret it. I was afraid that I wouldn't enjoy it and that it wouldn't be that well-made, but I was afraid for nothing. The cast was legendary and so was the acting of the actors, who were mega skilled. The whole idea of the story was original and I really liked it. The same processing. I would never have thought in my life that the Chinese could do something like this, just wow. I cried several times there and I'm honestly still crying because the ending completely got to me. First of all, how it ended and secondly, that it ended. If I could, I would like to see it again for the first time. This is such a masterpiece that deserves more attention! I recommend it endlessly. Believe me, you won't be disappointed, because it will grab you right from the start and you won't want to take your eyes off it! And to be honest? I haven't seen such a nice series like the Spirealm in a long time and it has to be stopped. I really applaud everyone who participated in the series, I'm going to cry again that it's over. I miss everyone already, oh yeah.

I am blown away!

If you’re unsure about watching the show or not, I cannot recommend it enough. From the first episode till the last this show was brilliant. I personally didn’t find a single moment boring and I absolutely loved the acting and the chemistry between the actors, especially the two male leads. The chemistry between the two male leads was indescribable, every time they had a little cute moment I couldn’t help but giggle. The bromance/romance between the two guys was soooooooo good that I finished this show in just six days and I’m currently thinking about re watching it immediately. Not only the chemistry, but also the plot was incredible. I loved the different types of quests the doors had where some of the plot twists inside and outside tbh were so crazy, I almost fell out of my chair. This is One of the best shows if not the best I’ve ever watched so I can’t advise you to do anything but to watch it and see for yourself!

Spirealm was my first ever bromance drama and honestly it completely changed how I look at this genre. The concept alone pulled me in straight away, a programmer who gets sucked into a deadly virtual game where every door holds a completely different world with its own mystery, horror and emotional story. And the consequences of the game actually reflect in the real world which made everything feel so much more intense.

What got me was there was not a single boring episode. Every door they entered had its own unique plot, its own set of characters and its own emotional depth. The sanatorium door and the box master door were genuinely unforgettable. The villains actually made your blood boil, the supporting characters were so well written, and the set designs and soundtrack just added to everything perfectly.

And then there is the bromance between Ling Jiushi and Ruan Lanzhu. Technically censored but honestly the way Lanzhu looked at Jiushi said everything words were not allowed to say. The emotionally charged conversations between them were on another level and you just felt everything they could not show outright.

The story kept building and building and I finished 48 episodes in just a couple of days because I genuinely could not stop. Every episode pulled you deeper and the stakes felt so real throughout.

The ending was bittersweet and a little questionable but somehow it still felt true to the journey. The kind of sad that stays with you not because it was cruel but because you were so deeply invested in these characters.

One of those dramas I will carry with me for a long time.

I need more..

My overall thought of this series was good! It left me wanting more of this series ;( The series have a bunch of thriller and slight horror elements that left me wanting to continue watching it till the end. I’ll miss Ling Ling and Lan Zhu sm! They are a very memorable character and they definitely have chemistry together!

I know that theres a lot of Virtual Reality sort of dramas but this series really touch on the emotions and psychological aspect of people. I know some dramas may have something similar but i think the execution for this drama was really well made!

I hope that the actors will have more works together whether its in another bromance drama or not I’ll watch it ?!!
