The novel this series is based on isn't a Yaoi/BL. But you can still easily ship the two male leads and there are no female love interests. Those two have a deep connection with each other that seems to be more than just a normal friendship and fate keeps bringing them together. Other characters in the series notice that as well, because every now and then they bring up Zhang Ping's and Lan Jue's close relationship and how they don't seem happy at all when they can't be together.
It's the little things with these two, really. Like the fact Lan Jue is a picky eater because most foods seem to give him a stomach ache (poor dude basically lives on herbal tea alone...), but when Zhang Ping cooks for him, Lan Jue is really devouring the food. Or how the scent of the flowers Lan Jue carefully grows in his home is the only thing that helps Zhang Ping with his nightmares. They also make a great detective team! So basically it's a case of "comes as a bonded pair, must not separate" :)
Very beautiful, but also very painful. I actually shed a couple of tears at the end and I'm usually not someone who cries over a series.
But despite the pain, I think this ending was the logical one. Their days were numbered regardless, if Shu He hadn't taken the poison one of those generals or Zi Ang's brother would've killed him anyway. And Zi Ang was already on borrowed time as well. At least their ending had some dignity + we got a little reunion and the prospect of them meeting again in their next life.
Answer about Thai fans: They've been boycotting the show, because they hate that theproducers changed things from…
Wow... I guess I'll stay far away from the author and the novel/webtoon then. I don't support bullies.
If the author is unhappy about some copyright issues, they should go the proper legal way and sue, but instead they're venting their frustration on the ones who're the least responsible... That's not a good look in my opinion.
Damn the visuals are no joke š Also nice to see that they put quite a bit of effort into the costumes (I'm a sucker for those pretty robes ugh). The plot seems to be interesting as well. In any case, I'm super happy that we're getting more uncensored danmei adaptions now!
no but this actually pissed me off cause the audacity of that woman?? this is the first time i've genuinely started…
I was so pissed off as well. They really tried to make it Kande's fault that he's not the prince charming they have imagined. As you said, even if he had been straight and single, if he doesn't want to date Sumire cause he's not feeling the vibe, then that's enough of a reason. If the roles had been reversed and a male coworker had confessed to Sumire and then one of his friends had tried to convince her to give in because "he's such a nice guy, just give him a chance" everyone would've grabbed their pitchforks and reported those two to HR. I'm hoping there will be some serious consequences, but I fear it's going to be another case of "we have to be considerate of their feelings bla bla" situation ugh... Anyway, at least Kanade was able to somewhat speak up to them, that's a start. Hope we won't see much of those two coworkers in the future
Does anyone know why iqiyi says this is from Taiwan then here says China? Iām just curious cuz everything I…
It's 100% because of the censorship in China. They have to pretend the series was produced in another country and can't release it within China, otherwise it would get censored or more likely, completely banned. They basically put a sticker over the whole thing that says "this series was definitely NOT created in China, censors please look away :)". It's a loophole that recent Chinese BLs are using to get their series published.
Does anyone know why they're using Seattle and Bellevue as background city skyline shots? It's absolutely killing…
Maybe because that way they can pretend it wasn't shot in China? I can imagine that because of the censorship they have to say the series was produced in another country
Can't wait for Mr S-Alpha to get his ass handed to him š¤ I do wonder though why Hua Yong is targeting him specifically. Maybe those two have some history? Anyway, for now I just love how they're turning the trope of the rich aloof guy vs the innocent poor cutie on it's head. Hua Yong is everything but innocent hehe
The old man yaoi I've been craving! Also the height difference is killing me, Suzume is so tiny omg How could you not love him and his armada of plushies? I am seated~
I really hope this one is going to be good, cause I'm a bit of a history nerd. But I'm also worried, it's going to be yet another GMM-typical series and they're just going to slap a vintage sepia filter on it... We shall see.
It's amazing how they keep accumulating debts... First the son is an idiot and gambles away a fortune. Then the dad turns a 500.000 Baht dept into 1.5 Million, because that's somehow better? Even though he could've simply given those gangsters one of his gold medals that's worth 500.000-600.000. Then dad reveals he also managed to get scammed out of his whole savings. Then they decide instead of selling everything valuable they own, they want to host a sports event instead, which will cost them like 3-4 Million... Yes, I know they got a sponsor, but something is bound to go wrong with that and who knows if that politician will want his money back + angry customers who will want a refund as well. Like... my children, please learn some basic financial skills and teach your elders about scams š Also teach your kids about gambling addiction omg
I feel really sorry for Than and Keen. They just want to be lovey-dovey and chill, but people around them keep fucking up...
I am confused. Is Jun related to any of them or? Even though hia is not seclusive to relatives, the subtitles…
Thai mentioned that Jun's father asked him to take care of Jun. They're not actual brothers (maybe they're something like cousins?). The only real sibling Jun seems to have is a sister.
I'm really amused about the fact that Sorn 'master of kisses and bi slut of the century' is falling for a boring kid who can't even kiss properly. What a loser. I love him (and Jun too! RIP his lips š)
the production quality does seem high. We love seeing proper investment in BL! It definitely improves the viewing…
Yes~ You can tell they used good camera equipment and those camera wagons and telescope arms that prevent the image from looking shaky. I think even if the plot turns out to be not it, the nice shots alone make it worth a watch
