Good but could be better
I have yet to finish this show and even though im half way through it I've got a few criticism and praises.
the worst comes first:
I did NOT like the amount of SA happening so far??? I'm hoping that there sexual interactions becoming more consensual as the show progresses but i have my doubts. Especially as this is one of the first few Chinese BL i see with minimal censorship on the homosexual interaction between leads, I'm not sure what to expect for the rest of it given that I feel like they ,as an industry, aren't too familiar with dealing with such relationships. Nonetheless, there is no excuse for the romaticisation of blatant r*ape and SA.
Now for the good stuff
I really love the casting i think they've done an amazing job so far. The story line is interpreting but im not at the end so i can't comment on it properly. Of course the setting and outfits are on point as always and its really good to set the scene here. I think this is a good comfort drama for many , but i truly wish the SA wasn't as common and wasn't brushed off as quickly as it was.
I know this is a common issue with some Chinese dramas, but the dub throws me off sometimes; there was one scene where a character's lips were moving no where near to what the dub was suggesting. it was quite trippy but i think that's just something the media industry needs to improve on as a whole .
