This might not be the best series ever, nor the most original or incredible, but for sure JimmySea are the most natural among Thai BLs fixed ships. They nail every scene, every mood, every sync and every feeling they have to deliver. Everytime i watch them, I forget I'm watching a drama because they look like they're completely owning their characters, bringing them to life so well.
Who would've thought those delicate hands he cared for, will one day pierce him with the very dagger meant to…
Thank you for this great comment, you said everything perfectly!
As always, being kind and just requires much more strenght than simply "being strong". Although he didn't want it, Shu He was the only one fit to be King because he truly and deeply loves his family and his land, and for the "greater good" he gave up his own desires.
"Where Shuhe saw duty as love, Zi’ang saw love as duty." Love this, well said!
whathappenedthesetwoepisodesomg!!! I absolutely didn't expect all the chaos AND all their moments either!
Plus, I will say this over and over again: Shu He is one hell of a character! His inner strenght, charisma, elegance... he wanted to live like a commoner, but he has always been the only true king inside - proud, righteous, loyal! I wish this series had more episodes just to see him play the zither, watch the pear blossoms, and be a great ruler loved by all!
I keep feeling the storytelling is a bit confusing, like if something was missing or badly edited&connected.....…
And, again: Shu He is such a great character, perfectly chiseled and rendered... plus the actor really gives him a soft yet charismatic grace and elegance! I love him!
I keep feeling the storytelling is a bit confusing, like if something was missing or badly edited&connected..... BUT HOLY MOLY episode 6 had me holding my breath and giggling omg that was such an amazing ending scene! Aside for the kiss, which was very well executed, the whole dialogue and direction and acting of the last part was really great! I'm not ready for the next episodes!
I know, Keishi really f***ed up with that clumsy and cruel way to brush Tanaka away... but, let's not forget he's way younger and that's his first ever relationship! I can't blame him for freezing and spurting out a random sentence to put the most possible distance between him and Tojo-san.
I'm not justifying him, but I can't accuse him either. Both of them are hurt, and I loved how both actors pulled off the pain/delusion/disappointment of their respective characters.
i just LOVE the fact that Keita is starring in another queer series: aside for his BL CherryMagic, I loved him in Joshi-teki too where he really nailed his role as a supportive ally... can't wait for this project too!
As always, any HS with Tay is such a fun ride! And Sammy has the same incredible positive energy, I love how they are always laughing, jumping, smiling, creating chaos and fun moments! XD
This is my first time getting to know Sky/Nani and Nani is cracking me up, he's in is own world and he always looks lost in thoughts, but from time to time he pops up with random phrases or disconnected facts and that just makes me laugh so much! XD
This might be the first time ever I have no first or second couple preference: both stories are great, all main actors are AMAZING and all four characters are so damn interesting! Plus Victor is such a cute third-wheeler, sometimes I even hope he can get a chance too! XD
And direction-wise, I'm loving the mix of irony, deep and social topics, intertwined plots... it's a very structured and multi-layered drama!
Yay, it finally started! The trailer had me very hyped up but the first two episodes kinda lacked energy, although the idea of "he spies him who spies you who spy me we spy all" is pretty intriguing - Duan's actor needs a better wig, but on the other hand ShuHe is such a beautiful and interesting character that he's enough to get me hooked.
"I couldn't enjoy the MLs relationship dynamics, which I found unhealthy from start to finish, and the characters…
As you said, we can all watch the same thing but we alle have different life experiences and that's usually the main filter we use when liking (or not) something.
This was just not my cup of tea, but I can understand that many people like/love it. I couldn't empathize with any of the characters, they felt too forcefully extremized (as "characters", and not as "people", which made them distant for me). All their defects were "too much", so much that for me they stayed in the area of "a fictional character" instead of "a character which is fictional but i can relate too". (although I do agree that the second part was better then the first one)
I don't know if I explained myself, sorry, English is not my first language. Anyway, to each their own - that's what great in dramas, there are so many that we're never out of things to watch, whatever taste we have! XD
Just a correction: it's not *China* that's producing uncensored BL, it's individuals from China who are doing…
Yes, maybe my wording wasn't perfect: I know this hasn't been aired within China - that's what I'm saying, I hope little by little all these situations can bring to a day in which these bans get lifted and everything can air officially for anyone to watch in whatever country.
Finally finished - I kept up till ep16 or so, put it on hold, and now finished just for the sake of finishing it. Mind me, I'm happy China is producing non-censored BL and I really hope this can pave the way for hundreds of dramas in the future, but this was just not my cup of tea. I felt so much more depth in so-called bromances (in terms of plot, relatonship, characters, humanity) than in this one.
I honestly couldn't enjoy the show and I watched till the end only for the 2nd couple. I couldn't enjoy the MLs relationship dynamics, which I found unhealthy from start to finish, and the characters felt like cardboard stereotyped figurines. Might be I'm too old to sugarcoat these kinds of stories anymore, but I'm happy so many people found it a great view.
The good thing is, little by little, maybe these series might help in changing the public view and the censorship regulations... I really hope we can see a day in which China can officially broadcast BL/LGBT series without any issues for actors, directors, screenplayers and more. <3
