Meet You at the Blossom

disappointing dub con :\

The series started off like fanfiction-style fluff and comedy and I quite liked it - great for lazy summertime ;) Then came a dub-con sex scene, followed by more comedy… and suddenly it spiraled into an abusive, R-rated mess. There was a hint of political drama that seemed promising at first, but it lacked proper background and development. The main plotline — something about finding a flower — wrapped up way too quickly and felt anticlimactic. The ending? Disappointing and just plain stupid. Honestly, I have no idea what genre this was supposed to be. At one point, I genuinely thought a zombie apocalypse might randomly start, and I wouldn’t have been surprised.

The series could’ve been just a bit boring and weird — not great, but not terrible either. But oh god, here comes the biggest issue: the sheer amount of toxicity portrayed as romance made me sick. It gave off major Fifty Shades of Grey vibes. I absolutely hated both main characters. Surprisingly, the rest of the cast was okay — even likable.

The actors themselves seemed sweet and charming in interviews, so I don’t blame them. They were just handed a terrible script to work with. 😐

I only finished the series because of Que Siming, whom I absolutely adored 😂 I might rewatch it someday… but only the scenes with him.

AHHHH I LOVE THISSSSS ??????

This C-drama is, without a doubt, a masterpiece that has completely stolen my heart! The intense layers of angst and the gripping drama intertwine perfectly, creating a whirlwind of emotions that pulls you in from the very first scene. Each episode unfolds like a beautifully woven tapestry, rich with complex characters who face dilemmas that tug at your heartstrings. The intricate plot twists leave you breathless, while the stunning cinematography paints a breathtaking backdrop for each poignant moment. I am utterly captivated by the stellar performances and the way the narrative evokes such a profound connection—it's an unforgettable experience that keeps me yearning for more!

I LOVED IT!

Guys… I’m so happy. I haven’t rated a BL show a 9/10 in a LONG WHILE. But this did it for me, like oh my god I just loved it. I’ve noticed I tend to like BL’s with a traditional setting more regardless of the plot, like it’s just a huge preference for me so I should definitely approach BL’s like that more often. But yeah, let talk about it! I want to appreciate the beautiful scenery in every episode, and the beautiful actors as well. They were all in a face card war cause Jesus they were all beautiful, mainly the mains. The outfits are absolutely stunning and detailed, it just made them look even better. The story was okay, a little confusing, but honestly it was a bit understandable once you reached the end more and more but still some questions. I don’t watch a lot of Chinese BL and I think this is my first traditional setting BL from China, because of the obvious laws in China, and I’m a HUGE physical touch person, it’s a bit controversial but it does make it more interesting to watch. I know this isn’t the most physical touch BL but I loved it regardless, the kiss at the end was worth it, and their chemistry was pretty good. I just loved the whole vibe. In other shows I would probably drop or skip through a lot because honestly the story was a bit mediocre but somehow it kept me hooked, idk what it was but I was hooked. I watched every single episode without skipping or fast forwarding, and that’s like so rare with shows these days, I have to at least fast forward in the last episode or last couple episodes. But here they managed to hook me in each episode, everything perfectly balanced. I really do hope in the future they have more traditional settings in BL’s it doesn’t matter where, either Korea, Japan, China, or Thailand. I know China has a lot of them but they’re very censored, but I mean a BL that’s something like this or even more would be the DEATH of me. Anyway, there really isn’t much to criticize here, other than I wish Zong Zheng Huai En and Jin Xiao Bao had a bit more of screen time being happy, a lot revolved around the drama going on rather than their relationship but at the same time it was enough, honestly a special episode of them just being together for like 20 minutes would be lovely, and last thing to mention is how Zong Zheng Shao Yu (The 2nd prince I think) had a VoiceOver in the show, he is Thai irl so idk if he was speaking Thai which explains why the VoiceOver did not match what his mouth was saying, but like they could’ve done better in that, it’s not super distracting, just something you can notice. But yeah that’s all, really good show I recommend it, I want more of them and I want more BL with a traditional setting and a HAPPY ending, can’t leave that out.

PLEASE SOMEONE STOP JIN XIAO YOU FROM NOT LETTING THESE TWO LOVEBIRDS KISS UGH!!!

به دراپ نرسید ولی با زجر تمومش کردم

کنجکاویم برای شروع داستان تو دو مورد بود.
یک اینکه بی‌ال تو ژانر ووشیا و کاستوم‌دراما بود.دو اینکه ساخت چین بود و برای اولین بار قرار بود یه بی‌ال واقعی از چین ببینیم نه صرفا برومنس‌های سانسور شده.
ولی خواهش میکنم برید همون برومنس‌ها رو ریواچ کنید و تو انتظار پخش برومنس‌های بن شده بمونید.
وقتتون رو پای این هدر ندید.
من فقط به لطف بالابردن سرعت پخش تونستم تمومش کنم.

اما بزارید دلایل خودمو بگم.
اول اینکه به نظرم حقش کمتر از ۵ستاره‌ست ولی به همون دو دلیل اول نقدم، ۵رو دادم بهش.

فیلمنامه به شدت پراکنده و شلخته و گنگه.
شما حتی اگه یه سیدرامابین حرفه‌ای هم باشید باز هم بااسامی که به صورت رندوم از دهن کاراکترها بیرون میاد، به مشکل برمیخورید و گیج میشید و در نهایت روند داستان از دستتون درمیره.

شخصیت‌پردازی‌ها هیچ منطقی نداره. نویسنده فقط به تقلید از سریال‌های موجود چندتا شخصیت خلق کرده و با کم‌ظرافت‌ترین حالت ممکن اونا رو گذاشته کنار هم.

هیچ روند رشد شخصیتی رو تو کاراکترا نمیبینیم. هواین یه ردفلگ متحرکه و در طول ۱۲قسمت حتی یه ثانیه درکش نخواهید کرد. میخوای عوض بشی؟ اوکی ولی باید به ما این روند رو نشون بدی تا باهات همزادپنداری کنیم...علاوه بر این اصلا چی‌شد که این عشق سوزان بین دو نقش اصلی شکل گرفت؟ با چندبار شب رو باهم‌گذروندن؟؟؟

تدوین در یک کلام فاجعه بود
پرش سکانس‌ها، فلش‌بک‌های بی‌جا و بی‌مورد، گم شدن یکسری کاراکترا و اضافه‌شدن بی‌مقدمه‌ی یکسری دیگه. استفاده‌ی غلط از موسیقی متن و و و

ببینید، واقعا واسه وقت گذروندن اوکیه که همچین چیزایی ببینیم. از جمله خودم که تا اخر هم دیدمش. خصوصا که واقعا کنجکاوی داره یه بی‌ال از چین.
ولی اگه کسی ازتون خواست بی‌ال بهش پیشنهاد بدید واسه پایین‌ نیاوردن سطح سلیقه و منطقمون هم که شده محض رضای خدا اینو پیشنهاد ندید🤣🤣

خلاصه که تنها پوینت مثبت سریال ویژوال هواین، شیائوبائو، سویین و دکتر بود

نبینید
و پیشنهادش ندید
و اگه دیدید به حق بهش نمره بدید تا در حق بقیه‌یبی‌ال‌های خوب نامردی نشه

Good but could be better

I have yet to finish this show and even though im half way through it I've got a few criticism and praises.

the worst comes first:

I did NOT like the amount of SA happening so far??? I'm hoping that there sexual interactions becoming more consensual as the show progresses but i have my doubts. Especially as this is one of the first few Chinese BL i see with minimal censorship on the homosexual interaction between leads, I'm not sure what to expect for the rest of it given that I feel like they ,as an industry, aren't too familiar with dealing with such relationships. Nonetheless, there is no excuse for the romaticisation of blatant r*ape and SA.

Now for the good stuff

I really love the casting i think they've done an amazing job so far. The story line is interpreting but im not at the end so i can't comment on it properly. Of course the setting and outfits are on point as always and its really good to set the scene here. I think this is a good comfort drama for many , but i truly wish the SA wasn't as common and wasn't brushed off as quickly as it was.

I know this is a common issue with some Chinese dramas, but the dub throws me off sometimes; there was one scene where a character's lips were moving no where near to what the dub was suggesting. it was quite trippy but i think that's just something the media industry needs to improve on as a whole .

Phenomenal storytelling despite few episodes!

This series was so amazing! The way everything played out was perfect and it didn’t feel rushed nor slowed! I think this is such a good series and if you liked the untamed or word of honor, I think you’ll really like this as well! Even tho this only has 12 eps and the untamed & woh have over 30 episodes, Meet you at the blossom really managed to showcase all relationships and stories perfectly!! The acting might’ve not been 100% all the times but most of the actors are new to this so I think they all did great jobs!! Also for you who watched the untamed & woh and got disappointed by the lack of actual romantic scenes bc of the Chinese censorship but this show is produced by Chinese and Thai people so we got some nice kisses and stuff 👌🏼

Weekly VS One day

If you watched this as it was dropped weekly and liked it I HIGHLY suggest watching it as a binge.
Something possessed me to watch this specific series over again now that it is finished, and so far this is the only one I have rewatched from originally a weekly to a binge and I was so glad I did. It felt like it was dragging and going no where when i watched it weekly and I was honestly confused in alot of areas. I believe almost all of the translations were updated, once it had been fully released for a while, to more accurate translations then literal ones which cleared up ALOT of my confusion. It also no longer felt like it was dragging on but very chohesive and didnt leave gaps as one ended and the next one started, it would have been better aired all at once as a binge watch honsestly. I also appreciate how well they dubbed the Thai character as I only noticed the difference the second time around.
