OMG thank you, you're my new hero! <3

PS, Question: anyone knows the opening and ending songs? I tried to shazam both but didn't get any result.

I swear I'm not crying.... T______________________________T

I will miss them so much! Kudos to both main leads, they were lovely and I hope they won't have problems in their career for starring in this BL. And, although the ending felt a bit rushed to me, at least it's finally one in which we can choose the "happy ending option" quite easily.

NOTE: if you're out there and thinking "SHOULD I WATCH THIS?", then YES, definitely! It's not perfect but it's heartwarming, intriguing, visually beautiful and blending fluff with angst in a very good way. Plus, we need more historical BLs from China so series like this need the more support possible!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH YA ALL!

Oh, and also: what a change for Lin Mu Ran, I enjoyed his "bad guy" aura so much in PoJ that it took me a few moments to recognize him here!

Ooook I started this with zero expectations, just to watch Ryan Cheng in a different type of role AND get to know Bai Lu since I've never seen any of her dramas... and I've already binged the first 13 episodes, I'm hooked! I'm especially loving the secondary characters AND Prince Ding, whose pain and pride are perfectly nailed by RC, and the slow burn between the two which is depicted with consistency and intelligence.

I'm not a fan of characters hiding so many things one to the other, and here the female lead is honestly planning/hiding quite a few things which would be better off told and explained directly... but all the "eerie" moments still need to get addressed and I like how they are slowly but steadily hinting at PTSD.

Also, the villa setting is lovely and I'm enjoying the smooth, delicate, elegant soundtrack.
I'm happy I joined the ride before it ended, I plan to catch up in the next days with all the remaining aired episodes!

Uhm. This drama suffers so much from bad pacing and identity crisis... it doesn't really know what kind of drama it wants to be. Is it a lovestory? A GL? A business drama? A romcom?

It's a pity because Fluke and SaengNuea are really rocking both of their roles - and the sceneries are mesmerizing!

Fluke has a master degree in chemistry: he's had the best chemistry with WHOEVER he was paired with, I still go back to ThorFluke scenes in Warp Effect!

Tawan: "Why isn't he here?"
Mekin: *dramatic face* "It's not like he didn't wan't to come"......
*even more dramatic pause*
Mekin: *saddest face* "....but he couldn't be here...."
Gaysorn: SHOCK! "What's wrong with him?"
*dramatic music*
Gaysorn: "where is Scent?"
*hyperdramatic pause*
AND HE'S OUT THERE PLANTING SUNFLOWERS DRESSED AS INDIANA JONES?!?!?!

and those butterflies? that was as cringe as ever.

I'm sorry, I love PearlPeak (therefore I watched till the end), they look amazing together and are good actors, BUT this was one of the worst dramas I've seen in a while. Script was terrible, dialogues where so flat (we KNEW he was going to say "i'm not dreaming, right?" at least five minutes before he said it) and trite, and the execution could have been way better. The positive notes were Pearl looking so damn handsome, PearlPeak's chemistry (which, to be honest, was in many scenes ruined by direction) and the ending bonus scenes. Oh, and I'm now in love with Obey who was so beautiful as Ray.

This was really, really bad - like, "Oh My Sunshine Night" kind of terrible.
These boys deserved better - I hope their ship won't get ruined by this project.

Agreed! And the total-black suit was chef's kiss! <3

Every episode is stronger, more intense than the week before... my stomach is literally in knots.

GeminiFourth are incredible, and P'Aof can really take the best out of each and every actor he works with!

Such a beautiful ending! This drama grew on me week after week - the first few episodes suffered a bit in terms of narrative flow, but all the characters were so interesting and well acted that I came to love it. Also, the visuals were stunning! Last episode was perfect, from both love scenes to their meeting and to the final cerimony. Yay!

Sidenote, once again - Net is definitely one of the most goodlooking guys on the planet, he is mesmerizing in whatever clothing or style.

Looking forward to other NetJJ and LatteKim projects!

I was just rewatching the trailer, and I feel like Ryu looks so much like Tian Jia Rui!

LMAO at the soap with "two32" logo on it! I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the references and the irony of this show! XD

Plus all the actors look very natural in this, especially Tay and Mond - the friend trio is also so fun to watch! XD
Kudos to Ryu too: I was a bit "meh" after his role in That Summer, mostly because his acting felt a bit "flat" especially compared to Mond's... but here I love how he's doing! Plus he looks great with this style!

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.
