Kill to Love

Kill To Love - a perfect title for the drama!

He destroyed everything in his path to get to his Shu He and bring him back!

----
Can't believe we actually got a Historical BL Cdrama! Wow...dreams do come true!
The year 2025 is the year of BL chinese dramas!
We got -
Kill To Love (Historical drama)
ABO desire (an actual omegaverse BL Cdrama!)
Revenged Love (my Dawei and Chi Cheng! Miss them so much)

Some of the dialogues of this drama are so beautiful and poetic 😍 makes me wanna print them out and hang up on my walls!

I liked everything about this drama, except that it's only 12 eps! Why 😭😭 I was hoping to get 24 eps like we got for Revenged Love cdrama.
The chemistry is good, and the acting is good too! The editing might seem a bit choppy, but overall, this one is a good drama with a simple enough storyline!
The main leads and their chemistry is absolutely terrific!
And we got ACTUAL KISSING SCENES IN A BL HISTORICAL DRAMA! like actual kisses and not dead fish lips kisses! OMG!!
The actors really looked comfortable doing the scenes and even the behind scenes look really fun!
I always knew that if we didn’t have the ban BL Cdramas would have been ruling the world right now lol! Well we at least got these dramas to satisfy our fantasies!

The wedding scene was beautifully done 😍 and although it does have a sad ending, I believe this was the only way to end this series for this lifetime. Too much had gone down between the two ML, too many entangled emotions, love and hate and betrayal, making a mess of their past love and future. And apart from their afterlife reconciliation I don't think any other ending would have suited it.

This was a Historical BL well done! It’s like if Untamed was released in this day and time, it would be somewhat like this gem! Untamed part 2, where the 2019 drama finally gets the justice it deserved!

Definitely must watch!!
Rewatch value: 100/100

this was one of the best series i ever watched!!!

This series felt like a breeze after all those repetitive topics and cringe script writing. Finally i got to really dive into something and try to analize it. This is my first time writing a review because i can not emphasize the fact that this was an absolute masterpiece. It was not boring in anyway and with the plot twists and the general story it was the best. And the actors they really understood the assignment the way that they delivered the emotions was just spectacular. Even with complex emotions some viewers might not understand they delivered them like they were living it. But i also have to warn you that this series might make you cry your eyes out. Even though i am a person who cries easily i do not usually cry while watching series. But this one got me so bad. I am not going to give major spoilers but if you plan on watching this i would say be ready for anything.

Heart wrenchingly beautiful

Amazing acting. Amazing storyline. Amazing costumes. This story was so heart-wrenchingly beautiful, I just wish there were more episodes. I wanted them to have a happy ending, but it's okay not every love story ends on a happy note, sometimes fate is twisted, dark and ends in tragedy. There are only few bls which you can count on fingers, that touched my heart and I can definitely tell that "Kill to Love" is one of them and in my top list. But when Xiao Shu met Duan Ziang at the gates of the afterlife, it was so surreal and I cried both tears of joy but also sadness. Thank you so much to this BL directors and actors and everyone who was involved in this top-quality production. I appreciate you and thank you for giving us this bittersweet masterpiece. <3

Divided by kingdoms, united by hearts.

A historical love story of two princes-turned-kings and how they continue to love each other despite their complicated title as rulers. Both of their background stories were saddening; Shu He lost his mother, and Zi Ang lost his entire clan except for his brother. A few years later, they meet each other, and the beginning of lies and deceptions. I love the chemistry and build-up of their characters in every single EPs.

I just wish to see more martial arts scenes without the basic sword fights. Yet, I fully understand that they are more focused on the story rather than the fight scenes. The crown prince's role is too hateful, especially when he is the reason why the sixth prince's fingers were badly injured and stopped him from playing the arts anymore. Politics can corrupt one’s mind and turn their roots to evil.

The way I was flabbergasted by their first kiss in the middle of arguing was too memorable. No more China’s bromance and BL-censorship, we win. EP08 was probably one of my favorite endings from the show. The time when they realized that their royal status was a hindrance to their relationship and decided to let go.

Eventually, both of them became ruler of their respective nations. This is the most exciting yet traumatizing part. The show’s title, “Kill to Love,” is extremely presented when Zi Ang annihilated Shu He’s kingdom, then holding him like a caged bird. His obsession with being reunited with Shu He is the only thing that matters to him the most. Building a replica of the sixth prince’s residences was actually so romantic.

At the end, Xiao Shu He chose to die, with Duan Zi Ang embracing him and then following him to the afterlife eventually. A tragic ending, yet a very reasonable one for such a complex love story. Both of them died at the end, but at least they were finally able to rest peacefully from the chaotic world of power and desires.

Eye candy, great storyline, nice costumes and two great Sword Dance scenes!

China has really stepped up their game with well developed, awesome chemistry BLs. The ending is in the same vein as Guardian, Winter Begonia and even the Untamed, as far as the chaos and trials and tribulations the couple has to go through to keep their love. Conflicts between nations, clans, social status, and sense of duty all play a role in challenging the couple's love for each other. The chemistry between Xiao Shu He and Duan Zi Ang is off the charts! Each glance, each touch, each smile makes you feel like you're third wheeling even though we are shipping them hard. TBH, the drama between the nations and the lovers could have all been avoided if Shu He had only listened to his heart instead of trying to fuilfill a duty he really wanted no parts of. I watched all 12 episodes within 24 hours- it is that compelling. The costumes, the music score, the plot are all well done. My only criticism is that they didn't really explain why the crown prince of the southern kingdom was so hateful to the 6th prince. I don't think it was just jealousy, but I didn't get the full backstory. I didn't get why Huo Ying was so loyal to the crown prince, either- he treated him like crap. But other than that- you'll notice that both MLs have beautifully manicured nails throughout bloody battles and sword fights.

Clingy, Forbidden, Perfect: Why I Can’t Stop Watching Duan Ziang & Shu He

When I first started Episode 1, I wasn’t impressed 😅 It felt slow and a little dry, and I wasn’t sure where it was going. But by Episode 3, everything changed! Duan Ziang and Shu He’s relationship started to shine ✨—their affection, the little gestures, the tension between them—it was all so real and captivating 🥹. I even went back and rewatched Episode 1, and suddenly it made perfect sense.

This BL actually delivers on love 💖. You can feel it in their actions, not just hear about it. The historical setting is gorgeous, the drama feels uncensored, and every moment carries genuine emotion—sweet, messy, and at times heartbreakingly real 💔. The ending was satisfying, and I would absolutely love to see Duan Ziang and Shu He cast in another BL, whether modern or historical. They are just that good 🔥.

Story

Absolutely loved this BL because it was a time in history long gone. The Chinese do bls really well
so lift the ban and let us watch more. There's nothing to be ashamed of seeing two men with strong
feelings for each other done delicately. The two MLs really suited each other and their acting was
first class. I love historical series. The costumes..
The long hair.. The story this one being extra special as it was two friends who looked after each other when they were kids to meet years later..
One an assassin and one a prince. Not a good combination but when feelings come into play
it has to run it's course. Good or bad. Thank you to all who took part in this fab series. All the cast were first class.. Thankyou to the director.. The script writers.. Background staff and everyone not mentioned.. It's definately a 10 in my book.

A masterpiece that deserves more hype!

They got married, but at what cost??

Nah, but for real… even though I wanted a happy ending, I think a bittersweet ending was fitting for these characters. Even though Shuhe loved Ziang deeply, he couldn’t live with himself after everything that happened. It was heartbreaking to see how Ziang trusted Shuhe until the very end, only to be betrayed in the most devastating way.

The acting in the final episode was absolutely phenomenal, easily one of the highlights of the entire series.

My only gripe is that some plot points felt rushed or skipped over entirely in the last ep. For example:
How was Huoying suddenly wandering around freely in the Northern Palace with no explanation? And why was Ziang’s brother suddenly besties with them out of nowhere?

Despite these gaps, this series is incredibly underrated, especially considering the insanely low budget (confirmed by the actors. They didn't have enough money to hire extras and their screenwriter had to play the doctor Shen Song). With more funding, we could’ve had additional episodes to flesh out the story further, maybe even a reincarnation epilogue!

But alas, they still managed to make it work and deliver an absolute masterpiece. After waiting so long for a historical/wuxia-themed uncensored BL, I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations in every way.

A beautiful, emotional series that I’ll be thinking about for a long time.
10/10.
