Most gripes about the series are about the repeated "rape and assault" of Gu Hai and the "incestuous relationship".
As a guy who went through similar experiences in teenage years, I can tell you many straight boys in high school have played with their mates touching and grabbing the private part as teasing. We do not consider it as rape or assault unless there is forced intercourse / fellatio or body injury. If you want to be a moral police, perhaps you should also not watch BL story which can also be considered "abnormal" for some people.
As for the incestuous part, both did not know they are half brothers until the climatic revelation. By that time, Gu Hai was already so in love so he was willing to overlook it. Unlike straight incestuous sex which can result in pregnancy, brotherly or twin love gives some people unique fantasy among LGBT so the writer took this path. The similar step brothers' love in HIStory 2: Crossing the Line, was very popular, at least among Asian viewers. They are so sweet and adorable !
Can you tell what is the name of novel which adapted by this drama
I have not seen the English version of the novel which has very sad ending where a number of characters die but thankfully not exactly the same in the drama. https://www.kuxiaoshuo.com/74_74664/
How was the ending for our main leads Im on ep 19 thats all Viki has subbed I know there are more twists and turns…
They will be married and fight the police prosecution together to the end. There is no more formulaic spouse fighting which is much appreciated and their love for each other is very touching. However, you only see 'kinda of' happy ending until the very last scene. I am glad the director didn't follow the novel to kill the FL character and makes Yan Jin so lonely and sad in the end.
Wait hold on how did the rating just drop like 0.8 points?! IT IS SUCH A GOOD DRAMA how’d it go from 8.6 to…
MDL seemed to have adjusted its mean/average rating system 2 days ago for all dramas so even the all time number 1 drama is only 8.8. https://kisskh.at/shows/top
that plus the fact that gu hai dude sexually assaults the other dude multiple times
As a guy who went through a number of similar experiences in teenage years. Many straight boys in all male high school have played with mates touching and grabbing the private part for fun, it is not considered rape or assault unless there is forced intercourse or fellatio.
reading everything and i think i should watch this! i have seen some scenes of ruyis royal love and i didn't really…
If you have not watched it, i recommend you to do so because this is one of the most satisfying dramas ever! You will cheer with the intelligent and brave female lead and it is not boring at all compared to Ruyi which I could not watch much of it.
I have to applaud the brilliant performance of the actress playing Fan Ni Ya who gained some tears from me in…
One unexpected twist is why Feng Wei Xing got her pregnant so the umbilical cord could be used to save Le Le! OMG, that is evil!
I am glad the drama di d not stick to the novel 's ending where she was pushed to her death from 16th storey. It also omits the part of Ma Ling's (the cute 18 years old boy who calls Yan Jin "brother" in prison) execution, that would make the drama too morbid and piss off a lot of viewers !
I haven't watched the new episodes yet, but I read already spoilers of the novel ending NOOOOOOOOO.
You are right! I just had a look at the top listed dramas of all time in MDL, and the highest point was 8.8 for the first few drama so this site must have recalibrated the rating count system but no drama over 9.0 overall rating is too harsh.
I have to applaud the brilliant performance of the actress playing Fan Ni Ya who gained some tears from me in the last few episodes. There is a clear character development and the director even manages to show her face being more plump (with the right camera angle) as her pregnancy progresses.
I haven't watched the new episodes yet, but I read already spoilers of the novel ending NOOOOOOOOO.
I often find that you can have sad, tragic ending in novel if the writer excels in using powerful words and let readers use own imagination to associate with the texts and find ideal closure. In dramaland, it is risky to have sad ending as we are less capable of imaging differently than what is visually presented. The rating here has already taken a toll from 8.6 to 7.8 within a day and it could only go down further when more people have finished the entire series. Sigh!
I haven't watched the new episodes yet, but I read already spoilers of the novel ending NOOOOOOOOO.
I have a quick look at the novel's ending and glad that the series does not take the same tragic path which would have angered most viewers. It is not an ideal ending but not sad ending either, so do enjoy this fine drama to the end!
I have waited impatiently for the whole week for the final 6 episodes and managed to finish them at one go tonight. Let me just say, Wow! Wow! Wow! I love them!
The investigation continues without resorting to unbelievable coincidence and illogical conclusion which I cheered a number of times. The story simmers and reaches the climax just timely before the final episode. In the mean time, there are touching moments and empathetic human conditions that still give me teary eyes, intertwined with occasional comic reliefs which are what make me love the series so much. The much loved music scores also noticeably change with the flow of the story.
The last 15 minutes could have been rearranged to please more people but since this drama has been quite different from others, I guess the director wants it this way.
Thank you director for the fantastic series! I will remember the leads fondly and look out for Li Qing (Zhan Yu in the character) future work. I was pleasantly surprised to see extra scenes of him!
PS: This has been a strange year for C Drama where my favorites are all modern dramas; this drama, Ordinary Glory, Hikaru No Go and 安家 as I gave up many period dramas with childish leads and ridiculous cross dressing FL.
Just finished episode 32 - this show has kept me on my toes pretty much since the timeline caught up to present…
I agree this drama has been brilliant. I watched all 6 episodes last night in Dobuko as I don't need subtitle. You may want to keep 33-34 episodes till next week as they get more emotional and keep me on edge. There are new developments but still no revelation which is clever. Can't wait for the final 6 episodes which I hope do not disappoint.
