This is exactly why I have a problem with it. Its worse because its being seen as "casual" here...like ...in cdramas, a drama came out called The first frost. There, she wasn't raped but did you see the impact of it??? They didn't dismiss the impact. The villain was villainised. It was one man who made the attempt...here, it was Multiple Men who ...were ordered to commit the act. Are we gonna justify it when he falls under the definition of rapist ? Why is it so casually dismissed here. Why am I supposed to move on? Did the TFF FL move on? Would that move just...move on? These are serious issues. The makers f****ed up. They shouldn't have shown him as a rapist if they wanted to show him as a lover.
That's not how that works

Oh yes! The gang r+pe only lasted 10 seconds for the viewers....meh! Ehy can't they show us the full thing with their censorship?
They stopped at at least 10 men fully assaulted him while he screams and asks them to stop. Why? Show us how that group fully ravished him while he begged them to stop.

But, he is a man...so does it even matter? If the woman pleaded like that, we'd criticise our lover male lead. Right?

What a buzzkill. He was kind enough to see him getting ravished and say "boys...while you are at it, Don't kill him" . So nice? So ambiguous...so pure! Amazing lover. A man who is capable of redemption...ah! I always wondered what kind of people defended celebrities like Chris Wu. I think I know now. Peoplw have it in them to deny solid evidence of rap* .

This is no dark genre. Dark is something like squid game or a place where the rap*** isn't shown as a ROMANTIC LEAD IN A ROMANTIC GENRE. no whitewshing happens in a dark genre. If this was dark, he will end up being butchered somewhere but guess what? They will whotewash him and the audience will cheer. Happens in real life as well....look at rapists in Chinese industries...they still have fans. Makers know nobody minds rape in BLs. "He leaves him behind the door" no! He orders his men who gang r**e him, sees him getting r@p'd brutally....and asks the men to not kill him while they are at being monsters. That your romantic male lead.

Yes! Am I gonna whine this much about rape?? Yes!
You have it in you to laugh about it...I don't. That's where we differ as human beings

There's no complexity here. Redemption? From being a rap***? That's only possible once you have BEEN JAILED and released after being convicted...or if the character dies a justifiable death (I hope it happens because he richly deserves it).

Fiction and reality? So you can support a rap**** in fiction. Your values and respect for human rights are different in a fiction and what growth? He continued disregards consent multiple times after that...not that it would absolve him of his crimes.

There's people in this comment section who are defending him...by downplaying the henious act and saying that they still LOVE HIM? TF? who are these people? Chris Wu Fans?

LOOK AT THE GENRE...ITS ROMANCE...does this guy seem like a romantic to you? Is it okay to bury his sins? It is being glorified. It is beinh downplayed because they want people to forget that he is a r@p*st and see him as a lover.

As for supporting queer community, there's literally people in the comments who think that its the best BL and they are supporting queer right by supporting abuse. They are defending by saying...its for LGBTQ How ironic! Rape is for LGBTQ+ ? That's who the community wants to shower its love on? A rap***? There hundreds of BLs out there....nobody has to defend a r@p*** and a stupid storyline to support queer folks.

He has been introduced as a r@p*st who committed a heinous offense and it has been casually shown because the makers knew that PEOPLE WOULD DEFEND IT JUST BECAUSE ITS A BL.

Well, they have kept its essence. He is still a r*p*st who commites the offence of aggravated form of r*** in the very first episode but Don't worry, there's plenty of people here who are willing to see him as a lover. Some people are here because they think they are supporting queer community by supporting a rap***. Overall, the downplaying of a henious act is quite welcome here. Its a safe space for anyone who wants to downplay it or defend him. Its love... !! ❤ That's what all r**** tell people but nobody believes them. Here, people understand them, they have a support group here. You are also allowed to call him cute or a pookie...because, what defines pookie more than being a se×ual offender?

Guess what? Rap* has deliberately been shown here because its a BL. It doesn't even fit ! Entire group of people defending gang r*** is disgusting! Do you know that murder can be "culpable homicide not amounting to murder" but...there's nothing like that for rape. ...there's no stepdown from it and this is AGGRAVATED FORM OF R*** which is the most henious offense in the category of r***. Anyone defending it and ...them seeing a rap*** as a romantic partner shows just how terrible human beings can be. Almost equivalent to monsters.

where do I even begin with this? There's you, sarina...me...a lot if comments here and even on other platforms on the internet so many people who are actually rightfully calling out the people here for downplaying r*p*. If this was not a BL and the victim was a woman, would they downplay it??? No! Would it have 8.9 rating? No! MDL, youtube...even reddit cdrama group have talked about it and the BL fans are attacking them.

NO, Its not biased. The people are defending the portrayal of a cruel rap*st as a romantic lover and its wrong on sooo many levels. You enjoy watching a rap*** and it doesn't have ANy FLAWS FOR YOU? Wow! Where is humanity going? This is no LGBTQ support...this is support for rap* and downplaying the atrocities he has committed. He is being portrayed as a lover in this drama. If he is a lover...then so is Weinstein

Lol! Guess what's worse than being homophobic? A RAP*ST DEFENDER!! Enjoy your "movie" because in this one, the cannibal is actually loved a lot by some people

Are you saying that you like him even when he is disgusting? I have heard the EXACT SAME THING from Kris Wu Fans

Fully agree...I dropped it! There's PR of this show that doesn't want to accept this opinion. Its truly boring....and the ML is a trash. AND, TO THE DEFENDERS OF RAP* , you think that you are supporting some BL , when in reality you are supporting a rap*** and his portrayal as a lover...when in fact, he is just a rap*** and an abuser. It has been downplayed in the name of supporting BL from China and its laughable. That's the best BL to you? Whose your idol? CHRIS WU?

Apparently, the ml is also a r@p'st because he orders gang r@p' of his rival. But, the PR is trying hard to hide that or underplay it

What does justifying r@p^ have to do with watching murder mysteries? You tell me, Can you see the love/abuse stories of weinstein? Or Bill Cosby? One of those Burning sun guys? Can you? I can't see this mf as a romantic interest either. He is just disgusting...and his partner is just a doormat who puts up with this behavior.

Yeah! I mean, not even the people in middle ages would justify this inhuman and heinous act. That man is a monster? Where are we heading? So, by that logic, we should not criticise all those real life rap"sts in hollywood and kdrama Industry because hey...they are pretty looking mfs or because they are gay... Even Weinstein wouldn't go as far as this animal!
Just look at the people desperately trying to justify his henious act and see his romance...lol! Dude's a criminal.

Bad things don't just "happen" . Bad people make them happen. The ML is a rap'$t. I ain't someone who is gonna give him a pass for that. Thank God I don't live next door to a r@p'st.

Ikr...fully agree. I dropped it man. That act was sooo heinous even by cdrama standards. I just can't see this anymore. I will continue with other stuff that has been releasing.

No no...I am talking about the first episode where he asked his people to gang r@p× a man. That one!! By definition of r@p+, he also falls under a r@p'st. I saw sarina review and yes.. she is right. It does fall under r@p÷ . I CHECKED IT TOO. Its crazy that people are somehow not calling out this dude.

But in the first episode, he does command people to r@p+ the person. By definition of rape...he also falls under definition of rapist and abuser. Why aren't people calling that out?

So, as pointed out by sarina and cloudest here, the ML is a r@*ist. Why is no one talking about that? Is everyone deliberately ignoring it? The reviews clearly say that the community is ignoring it and its true. Is it not an issue which is serious enough? Its literally the worst thing to happen.... 😕😓
