Surprisingly good and intense!

When I started watching MYITB, I thought I'd get into some fluffy BL-Story. But it turned out so much more intense!
The story is quite dark, all the protagonists will go through harsh sufferings, especially the naive and kind Xiaobao.
On the "romantic" side we have the carefree Xiaobao who falls in love with a beautiful girl who is, in fact, the ruthless Huaien. Xiaobao still follows his heart, but Huaien is cruel and cold. Yet, he'll finally fall for Xiaobao and even become possessive and jealous. They'll get seperated by their hardships and Xiaobao will come to hate the man he loved so dearly...

What I liked:
I really liked the fact that this could have been a traditional man/woman romance, it just was BL, it was so natural. It wasn't overdone, the chemistry was real. I feared that the fluffy part would be too much but not at all. I hope we'll get to see more of these.
I did like the darkness of the story. I didn't expect it and cried when I saw both of the ML so helpless at times.
The story was easy to follow, the sidestories didn't prevail so that we could focus on the main story, which is of essence in such a short drama.

What I didn't like:
It was quite short. That's ok, but in general I prefer longer stories.
Li Les (Zongzheng Huaien) acting wasn't always on point. Fortunately, he did well in the most important scenes.
The fighting-scenes were a big disappointment. They were badly choreographed and filmed.

All over, it's a solid 8, even a 8+.
I might even rewatch it.

Unique and Amazing !

The quality is more than I expected. Specially because this is a danmei. Plot is a masterpiece. Right amount of romance, family, drama, comedy and politics are included. Did not feel any cringe while watching the drama.
Since lot of bl dramas lack a good plot, this is very unique feeling to me.
Costumes, fitting scenes are high quality. Have a beautiful OST.
Actors are doing an amazing job. ✨Side couple is also cute!
More recognition needed. ♥️

a step in the right direction

so I just got done watching this for the second time which is why I’m making a review. it’s RARE for me to finished a series (August 2024) and rewatch it so soon again (October 2024) that just doesn’t happen for me.

did this production have its problems? yes. was there some plot holes? yes. did some of the casting (the prince ) make me wanna pull my hair out? also yes. but despite all of that this story pulled me in. it was interesting in ways I was not used to and it had me rooting for the MCs. and come on, their dimples are adorable. yes both, becaeunthey both have them.

I think they have great chemistry and I’d love to see them in other things. I’m really excited to see what other boundaries this production company will push while making some of these Chinese adaptations without the censorship

This almost made me homophobic

Good points: The script is fairly acceptable and the cast is ok.
Bad points: The especial affects are bad; the romance is shit; everything is overdubbed; and It's UNFORTUNATELY uncensored. (ironically)
I have never felt so unconfortable watching a romance since the day I read fricking Collen Hoover and this drama somehow made me glad for censorship. I know this was a low budget production and somethings are just out of their control ( like special effects and such ), however, the main characters relationship just made me have chills down my spine. Not wanting to be the politically correct assh*le here, but consent is a thing you know? not only that, why do people romanticize toxic relationships so much? And this comes from a person who liked "A Thounsand Autumns" for gods sake!

Da lo que todo fan de danmei desea, una adaptación que si sea bl

Voy a opinar de esta obra por puntos como si a alfuientle fuera a interesar.
1. A nivel de dirección de cámara y sonido la verdad podria mejorar porque hay planos que ae entiende la idea pero estan mal ejecutados, hay otros que se ven raros, como qué esperaban que se vea bien pero les fallo el ángulo, la música esta buena la verdad es muy danmei dirían, pero el problema esta en la edición y es que hay muchos problemas en cuanto a la posición de la pista de audio que aveces se nota que esta descordinado o la cancion no esta de paso, lo cual si daña un poco la experticia
2. Las actuaciones y el cast me convencieron, para mi esta bueno y les tome cariño a los protas, es más no estoy enojada con ellos lo cual es raro y hace que me guste lol
3. La historia no es la mas original pero al menos entretiene, AUNQUE falta pulir ese guión porque como me vas a decir 50 cosas como si uno ya conociera a toda esta gente y el lore, la mayoria no venimos leyendo el danmei que es re ????? como en el capítulo 2 te dicen todo como si supieras quien es quien, igual como que el decir todo de una y tan rápido hace que pierdas la emoción xd
3. Te quiero Huaien, deberia quejarme del claro elefante en la habitación pero no puedo, acabe entiendo a Huaien que puedo decir sisoy, asi y toda la dependencia 😔
4. Xiaobao... las ganas de abrazarlo que tengo aunque seguro en el proceso pierdo la mano 😔
5. Me caga Suyin, no se si vamos a ignorar aca el elefante en la habitación con él o qué porque parece todos lo aman
6. Me dieron los valores tradicionales familiares, monogamia, familia, casa, hija, la familia como Dios la creo 🗣️🦅🗣️🔥💥
7. Hagan capítulo especial mostrando la boda 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
8. Link del danmei 🗿

I've missed drama like this one !!!

En tant que grande fan du BL Novel chinois et grande fan de The Untamed et Word Of Honor, je peux dire que c'est un plaisir de voir un nouveau bon BL- Costume Wuxia !
Le meilleur point c'est que la romance n'est pas du tout censurée et très explicite depuis le début. On ne perd pas de temps à attendre la confession des protagonistes, on est plongés dans l'intrigue globale (secrets, conspiration entre Lords, meurtre etc...) et les rebondissements de leur relation tumultueuse.

Le jeu des acteurs n'est pas parfait, ils n'ont pas l'air sérieux mais j'adore la comédie qu'il y mettent, ils sont tous très drôles à regarder (surtout les deux serviteurs de Jin Xiaobao).

Je ne me suis toujours pas sentie émue d'une manière ou d'une autre, donc je m'attends maintenant à ce que ce drame touche mes sentiments plus profonds, mais j'ai bon espoir car il vient juste de commencer !
----

As a big fan of Chinese BL Novel and a huge fan of The Untamed and Word Of Honor, i can say that it's pleasure to see a new good BL- Costume Wuxia !
The best point is the romance not being censored at all and very explicit since the beginning. We don't lose time waiting for the protagonists to confess, we're just into the global plot ( secrets, conspiracy between Lords, murder etc... ) and the twists ad turn of their tumultuous relationship.

The acting is not perfect, they kinda sound unserious but i love their comedy, they're all very funny to watch ( especially the two Jin Xiaobao's servants ).

I still didn't felt actually moved somehow , so i now expect that drama to touch my deeper feelings but i'm hopeful because it just began !

Lo mejor de dos mundos

Es la primera vez que veo un drama en colaboración entre China y Taiwán y aunque no sabía que esperar, termino siendo una gran combinación, con toda esa magia de la cultura china con sus dramas históricos, pero sin la cencura que es la que muchas veces no nos deja disfrutar completamente de las historias bl.

La historia me gusto mucho, una buena mezcla de romance, drama, diversión y amistad; Xiao Bao es un protagonista adorable, super dulce, un niño mimado y un poco travieso y muy enamoradizo, me morí de amor con ese niño, al igual que con su familia y amigos, tenía un círculo cercano que lo amaba mucho, con un padres y hermana cariñosos, sus guardaespaldas leales y super divertidos que hacían un equipo fenomenal, así como Su Yin, otro amigo fiel que aunque era algo estricto, lo quería tanto que se arriesgaba completamente con tal de protegerlo. Lastimosamente el otro protagonista no contaba con el mismo apoyo, ya que su "padre" era un ser miserable que lo torturo toda la vida y lo convirtió en un asesino, solo contaba con el apoyo de sus leales guardaespaldas; hasta que conoció a Xiao Bao, desde ese momento conoció el verdadero amor y la vida de ambos cambio radicalmente.

Crearon un vinculo muy fuerte, lleno de altibajos; ambos sufrieron y con ayuda del otro y de las personas a su alrededor crecieron como personas y maduraron bastante. El final fue muy bonito, después de tanto sufrimiento, ya era hora que todos fueran felices.

No les doy 10 estrellas, porque aunque evidetemente los protagonistas tenían mucha química y se amaban profundamente; no soy muy fan de las relaciones posesivas 🚩 y sé que aunque el pobre de Huai En es resultado del maltrato de su padrastro, no justifico que por sus celos obsesivos le causara tanto daño a Xia Bao y a personas inocentes; para mí un amor más real, puro y devoto era el de Su Yin, que aunque nunca confirmo que sintiera amor romántico por Xiao Bao, si demostro con hechos y acciones lo importante que era para él, siempre lo protegio y lo apoyo, buscando lo mejor para el inocente príncipe, incluso cuando no estuvo de acuerdo con su elección final, siguio deseando lo mejor para su vida... Su Yin es un hombre maravilloso y espero que tenga una vida increíble y que encuentre a alguien que lo ame y lo valore como lo merece (probablemente ya lo encontró, solo le falta darse cuenta y educarlo un montón 🤭)

Actuaciones y química de los actores de alto nivel

No tenía expectativas, simplemente quería apoyar el primer proyecto de adaptación Danmei sin censura, sin embargo me llevé una muy grata sorpresa. Las actuaciones son muy buenas y los protagonistas pueden transmitir todos los sentimientos de los personajes a la perfección. En las escenas más dramáticas me hizo llorar lo cual no es frecuente y la química entre los actores realmente te hacía sentir que están enamorados.
Después leí la novela escrita en la que está basado y es muy fiel, los cambios que hicieron (como la edad del personaje de Huaien) me parecieron muy pertinentes. Puedo decir que el drama es mejor incluso que la novela.
Me enteré que son actores novatos, realmente no lo noté mientras veía; que espero que tengan muchos más proyectos.

Si no tuviera esas escenas de non con seria perfecto

Me tarde en verla pero estoy muy feliz de que que al fin tengamos una adaptación de danmei sin censura. La historia me gusto y la pareja principal tiene varios tropos que me gustan mucho. La serie me entretuvo y la pase bien.

Los dos personajes principales tienen un desarollo notable a lo largo de la historia, principalmente Xiaobao. Aunque la pareja ya esta establecida en el capitulo 5 casi, no senti que estuviera apresurado. Eso si, hay ciertas escenas que pudieron haber sido cambiadas.
Las escenas esas con consentimiento dudoso te la bajan un poco mucho. Encima no es una, ni dos, tres veces. La primera me parecio rarisima re gacha life 24 horas en celo que onda. La segunda te la dejo pasar. La tecera es un horror.

Las parejas secundarias son una mierda. Sentia que a uno lo infantilizaban mucho y realmente no tenian nada que me llamara la atencion. Por eso Su Yin y el doctor debieron haber terminado juntos.

Decido gaslightearme y pensar que las escenas non con y las parejas secundarias no existen porque posta ame esta serie aaa

romanticizzazione di comportamenti tossici

Al sesto episodio ho deciso di interrompere la visione. Purtroppo la romanticizzazione di comportamenti tossici che già aveva fatto qualche apparizione negli altri episodi, viene fuori definitivamente nell'episodio 6: stupro, amore possessivo e controllante, il tutto romanticizzato e non condannato.

All'inizio del sesto episodio Huai En prima ha uno scoppio d'ira e ferisce con la spada diverse persone senza motivo, poi stupra Xiao Bao, e poco dopo c'è un cambio di scena in cui Huai En sorride teneramente a Xiao Bao e lo bacia sulla fronte, mentre Xiao Bao è addormentato e sorride anche lui nel sonno. Successivamente è Xiao Bao a scusarsi con Huai En e non il contrario. Xiao Bao dice ad Huai En che può picchiarlo quanto vuole se lo fa stare meglio, perchè lui (Xiao Bao) ha sbagliato e merita di essere picchiato. Non ho parole per esprimere quanto questa successione di eventi sia malsana e totalmente assurda.

L'ambientazione storica mi piace, mi piace anche la colonna sonora e la sigla iniziale, ma provo disagio nel vedere scene in cui violenza immotivata e stupro sono inseriti nella trama come se si trattasse di manifestazioni d'amore, mentre invece in realtà sono l'antitesi dell'amore.

Honestly, if they're going to make adaptations that trivialize and romanticize rape, I'd rather watch a censored Chinese adaptation. At least there's quality in the adaptation and no disturbing scenes. It's simply disgusting that this drama gets a high rating of 8 with a romanticized rape! Wake up!

The rest is cheap... the costumes, the fights, the makeup...

They should have let China do it. I'd prefer a hinted romance over a nauseating one.

I can't believe people are supporting a drama in 2024 that romanticizes rape...

And to think that some of these are the same people who were complaining about Ming in My Stand-In, who in the drama, never raped Joe.

How can you equate him tying up Joe with rape...
