Still have to watch that, it's on my to-watch list since ages!

Set aside Gong Jun, I'm actually pretty happy to see Yu Cheng En too! I loved him in Treasure at Dawn!

Same. it feels like it's a cut version with all the foreplays and no actual game. ^^
I don't care for NC scenes but when they "zone out" the setting change feels so abrupt like if we're missing some takes.

My deepest respect to Tutor&Yim because they keep getting the weirdest scripts ever AND the oddest "intimate" scenes, BUT they are so natural with each other that they pull off whatever thing they're given (and it looks like they're also having fun while doing it! XD)

Even so, this is probably one of the worst series I've seen.

I honestly preferred Middleman to this - the characters made more sense and there was an actual story to follow. This one has an amazing cinematography and also sets and costumes are very well thought, BUT the flow of events makes no sense. T_T

Sigh... ep7 was a cringe fest. I'm sorry for PearlPeak because they are a nice ship and are decent actors too... but this drama has so many defects that it has become laughable.

At this point, the only decent part are the bonus scenes with PP at the end! ^^'

Ep2 was breathtaking - the crescendo in Tan's feelings and guilt, and Barth being such a temptation...! GeminiFourth are really talented, they act so natural... can't wait for ep3.

To be honest, I thought the same - I don't know if this comes from a novel or we have spoilers on the ending already, but I'm hoping Barth is there for a friend and not for Tanrak's ordination.

Ep6 was probably my fave up to now! We got some good communication and important explanations, some nice fluffy moments and obviously some devilish grins by the big bad s/m prince.

Please, please, let us have an happy ending... maybe a third rebyrth cycle? Or this is all just a dream and they wake up lovey dovey in modern life? Please T_T

Ep5's NC scene was actually pretty well done, very nice lights and the actors didn't feel stiff... well done, boys! <3

First episode was wild: I love when New takes on these sassy roles, his finaly expression was chef's kiss... and so was the driver's smile! XD

I understand the chaos and roughness of the first episode might be "over the top" but why is this only 7.7 while cringefests like flowerBoy are 8.0? (and mind me, I love PearlPeak but...)

Can't wait to see more of bossy Tay and sassy Newwie!

Fluke is mesmerizing!

I'm sorry - I love them, but this is getting harder and harder to watch every week. The amount of stupid and nonsensical things that happen is so unbelievable that it feels like the writers were drunk while doing the script. And those butterflies are so cringe! T_T

The synopsys kinda gave me SailorMoon vibes... an ordinary girl transforming into "a royal female special agent"... what? XD

Well it stars Li Hong Yi (and Yan An) so it will be a must watch... just hope it gets aired soon. <3

And, finished bingewatching! Took me just a few days because I was really invested in it.

I really loved this one, from start to finish - mainly because it didn't take itself too seriously and did amazingly well the things I was expecting to find: action scenes, slowburn romance, scenic visuals.
There are some problems here and there, mostly the fact that nobody questions He Rufei identity and nobody realizes He Yan is a woman (although as the story proceeds we realize that many DID notice but caring for her they just kept it a secret).... BUT it's a drama and we can close our eyes for a moment and suspend our disbelief to just enjoy the ride, right? :)
Honestly, I felt the "holes" in this were less problematic than in PoJ (which I loved tons anyway!).

Anyway! The acting of all the cast was great both in emotional and especially in fight scenes, which were breathtaking. I was on the verge of my seat following each and every move during the fights, which were epic but also felt real and not too "over-dramatized". Loved all the characters, who all added to the story, but I think my MVP were Feinu and Xiao Jue - their attendant/commander interactions were always so true and heartfelt! Also, Chu Zao was another great character throughout the whole story: kudos to the actor because he managed to show his inner turmoil pretty well.

Last but not least: loved some of the OST tracks, and I will say something that is present in many comments but will never be underlined enough: the moon confession, in all of its shades, is one of the best and most simple yet touching confessions I've ever seen in a drama. <3

9.5/10 for me!

Oh, boy. First episode was meh bt ep2&3 were even worse, it feels like a mix of everything put together to just fill the lenght of an episode. TutorYim are great as always, these boys act so natural when they're together, it's a pleasure to watch them - the cinematography and colors are also pretty nice, it even feels like a quality production judging by the visuals of the scenes... BUT then the flow of what happens makes zero sense, plus the dialogues are cringey and weird!

I don't mind the weird comedy, nor the sound effects, but even weird and over-the-top moments need their right place and time otherwise everything feels so disconnected!

Like, it feels we're watching episodes that have been cut of at least 1/3 of their content! T_T
I'm loving these boys so I'll keep watching (plus their dynamics is indeed interesting, I like how the characters complement each other) BUT it's definitely a pretty bad project... again, sadly.

I'm still not finished, but honestly I'm loving it so far - the action scenes are great and make up for those small plot issues... sometimes with these sort of stories you have to adapt some degree of suspension of disbelief in order to fully enjoy the narrative. Plus it's my first time watching the main actor and I'm liking his stern/gentlemanly attitude in this role, I think I'll go watch some of his other projects too. :)

who was the original actor supposed to be?

yes he does, he finds out in ep 22 officially... but it shows pretty clearly that he had his doubts already.

i think the main problem is that it's pretty obvious He Yan is a girl (I love this actress but maybe they should have chosen someone a bit less "feminine" or worked a bit more on her makeup when she's impersonating a male) so the fact that nobody realizes she's a girl and He Rufei was a girl AND they are the same person kinda feels less credible. Also because He Yan and He Rufei has quite a different physique so... yeah, how can people close to her/him not notice?

But then again, if they realized everything soon, the drama would have lasted 3 eps and not 36... just like PoJ. XD

He's very composed, stern and somewhat shy - he's acting clueless to some things but he actually knows more than what he shows, and is very respectful of He Yan's choices.

I'm bingewatching and am on ep26 right now, and I love how his character is firm and self-contained on the surface but has a warm, gentle and generous heart (not only with He Yan but with his aides like Feinu too)

(as for the fact that nobody does 1+1 and realizes that He Yan is actually He Rufei... well, that's just like nobody understands that Usagi is Sailor Moon despite her being the only human being with that unique haircut! XD)
