I would’ve been interested in seeing Woo Do Hwan in the role, he has experience and a compelling presence. Maybe Nam Joo Hyuk, if they were aiming for someone who fits the character more physically. That said, I think Byeon Woo Seok will do more justice to the role than Cha Eunwoo or some of the other fan casts we saw before the series was announced.
Live-action adaptations are almost always made for a broader audience and requires to show more complexity when it comes to the characters. Fans think that they're created solely for hardcore fans, but that’s rarely the case. And honestly, fans are always upset anyway, some just want animated or nothing at all. But in this case, the story already exists across nearly every format: animation, manhwa, novel, etc. If someone doesn’t like one, they can always turn to another.
As someone who’s read the novels, I enjoyed them mostly for the progression and the action, the story itself is pretty hollow otherwise. Still, I’m genuinely excited for the live-action adaptation. I enjoy adaptions especially for the action series, and I’m curious to see how it will all come together on screen.
Can somoeone fill me in, but it's like the second straight up BL I'm seeing filmed in China, apparently the first wasn't broadcasted there, is it the case here too? I'm so shocked that they didn't do this before, selling the series overseas, they're so many BL series ready to be released that fans want to see. 😭
I'm only on EP2, but I'm just dropping by to say that Bae Gyeon U is such a CUTIE. omg he's so adorable, handsome, tall, kind and shy, that's such a deadly combo. 😩 I missed having such shy male leads.
I just stumbled across a video about this drama on YouTube, and I genuinely thought I was imagining things when I came here, because like this is a Chinese drama? How on earth did it make it past censorship? And is it going to get pulled away halfway through? I’m honestly shocked. Is it actually good?
Ok drama. This would have been great if they have better fight scenes. Its weak in terms of fight scenes. So its…
It’s not meant to be an action-heavy series, there haven’t really been any battle scenes so far, just a few executions and fistfights. The focus is more on plotting in the shadows and political intrigue. Honestly, I’m glad we finally have a story without the usual Wuxia flying swords and over-the-top effects that have started to feel repetitive.
Yeah. The romance audience, sorry not sorry, want costume romance type of idol drama and rate poorly including good series simply because there isn't. 😭
Quick question, I don't know what reservations means in the grand scale of things, it seems like a lot but is it really? Does other dramas usually get 10M reservations (how much do dramas get in general)?

But thank you for answering.
