So many people are hating Yi Chen's brother, but there are always two sides to every story.Put yourself in his…
For me I always dislike characters (especially family members) who are truly selfish. Even when you take Lu Feng out of the equation (and trust me I have no love for him - he is irredeemable), the brother not only puts himself first every time but he expects his brother to sacrifice himself for his needs and wants. I feel like everyone in Yi Chen’s life hurts Yi Chen, even Yi Chen. Everyone character is selfish but the brother and the mother’s selfishness really irks me because they are his family. That kind of hurt and betrayal cuts deep for me when it’s family. I stopped watching after the last episode because I figured they’d try to make a fairytale ending and I don’t jive with that. Abusers are scum.
As someone who hates the second couple, nope not gonna take your advice. I'd rather enter the story and break…
😮😂😆 They’re all so bad but yeah, the lil bro is somehow the least tolerable one. Everyone either needs jail, needs to be alone or needs to be left stranded on an island somewhere.
I REALLY loved LoveSick and found Progress to be a revelation in that series. I find that he is playing the character in this the exact same way as his character from LoveSick, which makes this series feel less good. The same can be said for Almond. I’m not a fan of actors acting the same in everything they do, it makes it hard to suspend belief. Aside from that, the series is cute and overall Ok.
Arthit and Dao‘s chemistry and story had the potential of Jo and North (or even better). It’s crazy how they just threw their season together and despite that they still shone. It makes you wonder how much more epic their part would have been with a little more time and care.
Now that the series has aired, it's better than I though it would be. Looks like the project going from Studio Wabisabi to GMMTV was the right call. It's nice seeing BounPrem's chemistry on screen again. Mark is definitely making a place for himself in this industry. Enjoyable so far and kinda wholesome to see that Boun's dream project has come to fruition.
Man, Xiao Zhan can act. I binged this in 4 days. Either he chooses gripping stories or he makes stories gripping through his portrayals. It’s a testament to his acting abilities that he can play two very similar characters (Wei Wu Xian and Zhang Hai) on very similar paths, so differently. Where as Wu Xian had an innocent and mischievous way about him throughout, Zhang Hai is pensive and withheld. They both are on a mission of vengeance but Wu Xian reminds me of the avenger in his youth, full of innocence and never loses the light in his eyes; whereas Zhang Hai is like the avenger who has matured and has become the father of his young innocent self. He is more muted, pensive and the pain behind his eyes has dimmed the light inside him. It’s so fascinating, it’s like watching the evolution of man between the two characters. Bravo Xiao Zhan!
Side note: I rarely recognise actors from one role to another but I think I finally realise why I remember and can recognise the few I do. I think I tend to recognise the actors who have great ‘facial acting’. Because they are acting their faces off, I tend to examine their faces more and thus their faces become more etched in my memory making it easier to recognise them in other roles.
With that being said, I knew Zhang Jing Yi looked familiar but I couldn’t remember where from. I was very VERY impressed with her acting here, so much so I had to go look her up. Turns out she was the fl in Lighter and Princess, and as much as I liked that series, I wasn’t particularly blown away by her portrayal of the character. That character didn’t seem as rounded and full as here role here. Here she is phenomenal, showing so much range and making the character feel like a whole person and not two dimensional. Bravo to her too.
I picked this series up on a whim and I’m so glad I did. I had no expectations going in, didn’t know anything about it before hand and definitely didn’t think I would watch all episodes (I rarely watch or finish 40 episode historical c-dramas).
This series was a breath of fresh air for me. While all the other ongoing BLs were making me pull my hair out, this one got better and better with each episode. I'm so happy I took the chance and watched it. The story turned out much more substantive and full of depth than I thought it would be going in. Boom is a revelation. That man can act.

Well done to the cast and crew. 👏🏽
