I kid you not, not even 4 minutes in and the ML is already getting beaten up and coughing blood ๐๐ญ. Directors in China really love seeing this man suffer lol (not that I'm complaining ๐). But about 10 and a half minutes in, the ML gets a short fight scene and completely redeems his first impression lol๐๐ฅ. Okay, I'm going back to binge the available episodes on Youku. ๐ซก๐ฅ
Ep1 has no business being this intense ๐ณ๐ฅ. How are they going to maintain this pace all the way to the end? Good thing it's only 24 episodes instead of the usual long Cdrama ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ. So far, it's really good I definitely recommend giving it a try and enjoying the rollercoaster๐โค๏ธ.
Saw this while browsing iQIYI. Not planning to watch it yet since I already have plenty of ongoing dramas on my plate lol๐ ๐, but it's on my watchlist now.๐
I'm surprised director Rice Natid is still in his twenties. It must be cool to have his work featured on iQIYI. ๐ฅ
Does anyone know if this is getting good viewing figures
I haven't watched it yet, but I've heard some news about it lol. It's on iQIYI, and last week it ranked #4 in the Global Top 10 Other-Language Dramas. It's been in the Top 10 for two weeks and is currently in the Top 10 in 32 regions. So I'd say it's doing pretty well. ๐ซก๐๐
Tomorrow Ashes to Crown will air, and next week The First Jasmine first premieres. The cdrama drought is finally over for me ๐ฅณโค๏ธ I'm so excited for both of them! Now I'm just hoping we get Blossom in Darkness๐ค๐ this year too it would be absolutely perfect ๐ญโค๏ธ
Can't wait for another acting masterpiece from Zhou Yiran ๐ฅโค๏ธ
I've only seen Chen Duling in a guest role in Love Game in Eastern Fantasy. She was so pretty ๐ซฃโค๏ธ, and her acting was good, but her screen time was too short for me to fully judge her acting. Can't wait for this one the trailer looks amazing! โค๏ธ
This has been on my watchlist for ages lol. Since most of the Cdramas I like still aren't airing, I'm back to Kdramas. I've watched 4 episodes so far, and it's so good! โค๏ธ๐
Despite its dark theme, the drama takes everything surprisingly lightly๐ฌ๐ฎโ๐จ. It follows a teenager caught between his mafia family and his desire to live as a normal, decent young man. The acting is below average not the worst I've seen, but I was definitely expecting more. At least the cast is good looking, though that wasn't enough to make up for the weak performances.๐ I've also seen clips from the pilot, and tbh it looks better than the final drama. For an 8ep drama, the pacing is slow. Maybe part of the reason is that I expected the characters to already be in college, but instead there's a lot of focus on school life. That said, I do sympathize with the characters. I can't imagine what it must be like to be born into that kind of family๐. It's frightening especially when the system meant to protect children is often portrayed as corrupt and easily influenced by money.๐ถ๐ปโโ๏ธโโก๏ธ๐ถ๐ปโโ๏ธโโก๏ธ Overall it's a drama with a very dark premise, but it presents those themes in a much. lighter way than I expected. ๐ฎโ๐จ
Kim Dong Won is doing an amazing job with his character ๐. He's a talented actor, and I really hope to see him in more projects. I can't wait to see what kinds of roles and dramas he takes on next. โค๏ธ
It's a classic body swap story, but it's entertaining. The leads have great chemistry, and I wasn't expecting the kiss lol. It was actually pretty decent. ๐โค๏ธ
This is just a BL snack ๐. I watched 3 episodes, and I can already tell this was made for binge watching. The ratings will probably go up once all the episodes are released and more binge watchers join in lol.
But about 10 and a half minutes in, the ML gets a short fight scene and completely redeems his first impression lol๐๐ฅ.
