A very dark and intense BL
Interesting story. Get very intense and dark sometimes - which is not that recurrent in dramaland (or maybe in mainstream drama, because I feel like chinese bl drama for some reason get pretty dark nowadays). This drama isn't for everyone : I'll say this will be more for those who like dark, psychological drama
I like how some of the scenes were filmed and we can really get a grisp on our main leads mental state. And I like how they play with the lightning and angles. The first episode was pretty awkward not gonna lie, I cringed so much haha. (and I think main leads were dubbed ? which somehow takes me out to the story). But I'll say it starts to get better after te two first episodes.
Episode 8 was the best episode - very intense, sad, both leads show great acting. I was feeling so bad for Shu Lang during the whole series - I think in real like Fan Xiao will definitely be the type of person I'll do everything to distance myself for the sake of my well-being. I'll let it go since is dramaland, but there's definitely some scenes where I was like "Uuuugh this is not okay" or "Fan wake up and start being a normal humain being"
Redemption arc was great, but less "intense" in my opinion then what comes before. I did get emotional though in some scenes and we come to see the regret and remorse of Fan Xiao of his past behaviour (which is great we really needed it after this whole whirlwind of emotions)
Both leads has great chemistry
Kudos to Shu Lang, he's nice, sweet, caring - but also smart, witty sometimes. I feel like I totally get why te people around him likes him.
10/10 for how the character was written and portrayed by the actor. Also liked how he was methaphorically compared to buddha everytime
