Kukucaca

I actually read this novel about 12yrs ago, when I'm a teenager, and I remember liking it, I remember watching the first adaptation too, call 《逆袭》in 2015, and at that time my frontal lope and the society hasn't been developed like today, I find nothing wrong with the novel or the drama, I think its so romantic, and I love me a ruthless man like Chi Cheng, I think the love he has for Wu Suo Wei is so deep and strong. But now, after 10 years, after reread the novel and watch this adaptation, I realize I've grown so much, as an adult, I didn't find this story romantic at all, just pure cringyness and problematic.
This story was made by Chai Ji Dan, the same author who wrote Addicted, in her stories lied so much misogyny, the woman is always bad, even if they get cheated on, r*pe or beaten, it's because they're "deserve it", and the main characters (especially the Top) is always right, and they have a sad background, so everything they do get justify, they can order people gang ra*ping someone, and that's cool and manly in her eyes. She also love the trope "turn someone straight into gay" or "I'm not gay but I love you", that just pure straight girl fantasies about gay man. She wrote BL stories for teenage girl, even thou her work and herself is really problematic ( if you follow her from her early work you would know why), but base on this piece popularity, i guess it's reach the target audience, just not me. I purely watch this because of the reminiscent of my younger self, and I'm glad I know better now, I know what a good BL look like, I know what type of media is advocate for LGBT+ helping the queer community, and it's certainly not this.
