A Must watch Wuxia BL !! !
Kill to Love completely exceeded my expectations. At first glance, it looks like just another historical drama with palaces, politics, and power struggles—but it’s so much more than that. What really struck me was how beautifully the story balanced romance with destiny.The relationship between Duan Ziang and Xiao Shuhe isn’t just about attraction—it’s about loyalty, sacrifice, and the painful choices they’re forced to make for love and country. Their chemistry feels so natural and heartfelt that even the smallest looks or gestures carry weight. The tension, the yearning, the heartbreak—it all kept me glued to the screen.
One of the biggest surprises for me is that this is actually a real BL wuxia drama. Most Chinese BLs are forced into “bromance” territory because of censorship, so we never really get to see queer love portrayed openly in this genre. That’s why Kill to Love feels so refreshing and exciting—it’s breaking the mold and giving us something fans have been waiting for.
Another highlight is the acting. Even though the cast is quite young, they all delivered far beyond expectations—especially the two leads. They brought depth, emotion, and incredible chemistry to their roles. Their performances made the love story believable and moving. Combined with the beautiful costumes and impressive production design, the whole drama feels visually rich and emotionally captivating.
The pacing is another strength. I have watched the first 8 episodes released till now and the best part was, there are no unnecessary fillers—every moment pushes the story forward. From assassin to emperor, from overlooked prince to sovereign, the character growth is powerful and emotional.
》Why you should watch: If you love epic romances where love is tested by fate, betrayal, and kingdoms at war, this one will definitely touch your heart. It’s intense, tragic at times, but ultimately unforgettable.
