RE: Promise of the Soul
Doesn't it have a sad ending? Or maybe I'm mixing it up with a different BL.
its a HE, but some people were upset about something (id avoid spoiling ^^) , its really good imo
Oh, ykw? I just checked the drama page and I did try to watch it. I remember now cuz I posted my thought about why I stopped watching before EP 1 was even finished. I guess I'll pass lol.

Double Helix - episodes 5 & 6
I have comments, but I will save them for now because I want to see how things play out a little longer.
What I will say is that I have a strong dislike for Cheng Yi Chen's brother.
Good riddance that Lu Feng's father is dead. I have more in depth comments to make regarding this, but I am honestly just lazy to type them out; moments like this I wish voice notes were a thing on here lol
I look forward to the next episode, especially since I am waiting to see something in particular.
I was really excited to watch this when the show started, but after finishing ep6, I’m not really sure where it is going. Or maybe I just don’t want the whole story to revolve around being gay or coming out ruining their lives. I never watched the original version so I don’t know where it’s going.
I thought this was a toxic BL so I was expecting more obsessive or controlling behavior. I actually like toxic characters so I’m kind of dissatisfied so far. Lu Feng is no Fan Xiao. But Ayden Sng is really hot.
I agree that the younger brother is annoying. Their brother obsession is silly and doesn’t fit with the tone of the rest of the show for me.
I hope it gets better.
Also, the sound effects during the second couple’s NC scene did not match what they were doing. You can’t pant and full-mouth kiss at the same time. I know this is a small detail but it ruined what could have been a good scene.
Finally, why is there smoking in all the Chinese shows? I know some of the other countries are trying to purposely keep it off television but still, do the Chinese really smoke so much more than everyone else?

Lol, I noticed that too. They probably think that it adds something to the character. I've actually seen a lot of people making edits of characters blowing out smoke, so I guess fans find it cool or something, even though smoking is disgusting imo.
Also, it's not just Chinese. I don't remember the last time I watched a Thai or Japanese drama where not one person held a cigarette.

You're right that portrayal of smoking is not limited to the Chinese productions, but I think Dora has a good point that the Chinese seem to glamorise it more, e.g. in "Revenged Love", maybe because it's a particularly male/macho thing to them (?). In any case, to me disgustingly unglamorous - blech!
