One of the best slow burn bl of this year.
ok first thing is synopsis which i didn't read at begning. the story is about a guy name chen wan(a perfect gentleman) and Zhao Shengge (the rich powerful heir of a really powerfull family). so chen wan have a secret crush on zhao. but the twist is he is really good at supressing his feelings to the point where no one (excpet his best frnd) knows about it. so he do a lot of little things from a far and in return he wants nothing. (like hua chang heavens official blessing). on contrary he wants to do everything without getting noticed. but as you know it is hard especially when your crush is sharp and can notice smallest detail like zhao. so he caught him and try to find out why. by doing some little things(because he thought he is another oportunist) and chen wan got proved wrong again and again. as he got intrested as he walked towrds chen wan. so yeah seed is now sprouting. and it sprout in a very very slowly. like for 1 to 6 episode they were kind of stranger. and all the time i was giggling when they were in same room. also till ep 8 i was so into it that i don't care about what will happen i was just blushing and giggling.
so, right now lets talk about pro and cons.
pro acting and direction which will make you notice small emotional functuation and rxn, which makes you more excited like we know how they feel and how deep they feel but they don't and now you are watching them praying for god's sake see the sign. zhou see it but wan is wan. so it is like your frnd and your frnd crush is having a flirtious conversation and you are watching them. while both the crush is trying while your frnd is too dumb to see. this kind of feeling.
story, i would say it is good but cliche maybe because i read a lot of stories and all of them has one thing common mostly. which i call cimbrella trope. where one is on top other is either on bottom socially or financilly or like have a really bad problem with them. this is something common but if you add few other things it became intresting. cliche are not bad if you adapt them well. this is what i think. few things that i talked before was. the psych of characters they are not normal. one is self destructive but looks fine gentle man. other is just a man who has authority and his family created a perfect heir with trauma and cold heart. so it is something i am personally intrested in. we also have second couple and they look cute a grumpy guy with sunshine guy. like if you have eyes you can notice they are couple. but they are not official yet. so yeah. for me story was really good.
now con: first thing the ai i am not someone who is exposed with ai yet so i don't know how to react to the scenes it kinda take me out of the drama but at the same time when i see other places and consider production value like what if they didn't use ai then i think production value for the scenes we are watching will decreese and it is a big no. like no one wants to see a rich society in some random room or place. like they need a whole bunch of money for this too. so i am fine. you might think i am making excuses but when i think that the scenes where they are in party or like on yatch or in somewhere else. i don't want them to spoil at any cost because these are the places where slow burned me alive. so i am happy they used ai for past and elevated present scene.
for rewatch value i gave 9 it is because i will definately go back and watch the scenes btw ml like when wan was in hospital or when zhou met him in the shrine and heard him badmouth him or like the scene where they were playing ball game, on the yatch when they met all those small little cute romantic scenes. (especially in new episode where zhou told his frnd wan has feelings for him but then he got hmm but we are not official yet then he got what! ad then he says chen wan is going to pursue zhou. and his frnd have no words to say.. like he knew zhou feelings for wan and all his efforts to win chen and now this he was just shocked and zhou was so cute) ahh so their are so many scenes like this which i would love to re watch.
my overall rating is if you can handle ai and is looking for something slow burn sweet with a good story line, plot you can give it a try. the actors and directors did a great job (also actors got face card).
but if you are not into ai then you can skip the part and continue.
(soory for all the typo i am working on it)
