Ugh, so making problems out of nothing, sounds about right! I’m waiting for the day that they start realizing that what they are doing is actually hurting JL and their fandom. I find it a miracle NJ still have the patience to deal with that.
It’s supposed to be yes. The novel was made first, then came the manhwa, I’ve read the manhwa. So far I havent found a English translation for the novel.
Late to the party here...just getting started.Episode 1:Can someone help me out here? Please forgive my ignorance.…
Chinese dramas are almost always dubbed, usually it’s because of the different accents actors have. Sometimes voices get dubbed or recorded again because of other sounds being picked up while filming scenes. There are different reasons for Dubbing, but yeah most Chinese series use it. Straight Chinese drama series are the same.
I need some good bromance dramas with little to no romance. I need to recover from watching this please!!
Have you tried The Untamed, The Spirealm and Word of Honor, the novels are BL but because of the censorship they removed any bit of romance. (Though the Untamed still gave signs that they were more, but you only see them when you start looking)
I’m dropping this drama here at episode 17. There are a lot of things I didn’t like about it, but honestly…
After episode 17 the FL has less scenes (thankfully) because I honestly had the same reaction. I took a two week break after episode 17. I was so done with how useless she was, every big fight she only cried and screamed. Hell during episode 16 and 17 she didn’t even hide, like are you kidding me? My feelings for the kid are mixed.
The bond between both MLs grows after episode 17, which I personally loved, to me they had more chemistry together than the ML and FL. But yes it is a painful and sad series, so I definitely get why you need to take a break, take care of yourself.
should i watch this or is this going to disappoint me like revenged love and abo desire?
If you didn’t like Hua Yong or Chi Cheng, you’ll probably won’t like Fan Xiao, but it’s different for everybody. Give it a try, if you don’t like it, don’t force yourself to watch it.
MDL can sometimes have it wrong. If they follow the manhwa which so far they are doing, they aren’t cousins nor half siblings. Il Jo is adopted. The family doesnt know that Il Jo is adopted and only see him as a illegitimate child.
I feel like I’m missing half of story when I watch this series. Also why for crying out loud is Hae Jun / Kim Hyeon constantly grunting like he is in pain or uncomfortable. It’s just a few buttons being opened why are you grunting? But on positive side at least we didn’t have any flying plants in our view, like last episode.
Down below a explanation about why the MLs aren’t cousins. So if you don’t want to know don’t open the spoiler…
The family doesnt know Il Jo is an orphan, the entire family thinks the uncle had an affair and out of that came Il Jo, an illegitimate child. ML2 is a major jackass, the entire family are major AH to Il Jo, they assume a lot of things.
They only find out around chapter 60 of the 72 chapters in the manhwa, and even knowing Il Jo isnt a cousin, the rest of the family doesn’t treat him better.
Il Jo doesnt know his biological mother, she was 20, the father left her, she begged a church to take in the child, the nuns dropped the child at an orphanage. Il Jo was around 6 years old when the uncle adopted him. Only he didn’t get his spouses agreement, so the uncle couldnt “formally” adopt ML.
But in the manhwa the uncle had been living alone at the countryside for some time, with only the ML by his side, including when the uncle became sick. So I assumed they divorced and the uncle moved away, ML2 is probably blaming Il Jo for said split.
Down below a explanation about why the MLs aren’t cousins. So if you don’t want to know don’t open the spoiler tab, for the record, no they are not related, “cousins” but not by blood and didnt grew up together.
Not cousins, in the manhwa the uncle adopted Il Jo, he was an orphan. So not related to each other.
Il Jo is the adopted child, but nobody from the family knows that. They all think the uncle had an affair and the affair bore Il Jo, thats why they all say and think he’s an illegitimate child. Jeon Han is a child of the brother of the uncle who died. So they are “cousins” but not by blood, they are not related to each other. The uncle lived in the countryside, so they did not grew up together. And Jeon Han didnt want to know Il Jo because he also thought Il Jo was an affair child. I think they only met twice before, once when the uncle invited JH to the country side and once after high school or during high school. JH (and the readers) only finds out that IJ is adopted very late into the manhwa.
Wait, isnt he just playing?? Fan Xiao said it to his friend that he is just playing cz he s bearing 🤔
Fan doesn’t really know how to love or what it is to feel love. He’s used to people abandoning him, dropping him, favoring others. What he said to his friend is because he doesn’t understand his feelings, he can’t live without You, feels possessive over him, jealous of the people around him, yet also protective over You. He doesn’t understand that he in fact already has feeling for You, so he keeps telling his friend that it’s just because of boredom. Yet he wants You around him 24/7. In this case his actions speak louder than his words. It might have started with Fan just playing with You, but by now, he isn’t playing anymore.
Loved this episode, it was beautiful, heartbreaking and infuriating. Loved those small but emotional and caring moments, You coming home and watching Fan cook, Fan standing up for You to You his brother (even if it was for alternative reasons), You sharing what is troubling him, Fan silent support when You was looking out the window, the moment at the cemetery, beautiful and raw. And last but certainly not least, how You mentioned that he knew that Fan fixed the problems of his brother, that he isnt used to being cared for.
I stopped reading the novel around chapter 41, which translates to episode 5, I want to be suprised by the series. But the scene with You’s brother came out of left field, the rage that I felt for that unreasonable guy. Blaming his brother for being gay, for his mothers death, yet still taking advantage of his brother. I hate people who do that and honestly I felt some satisfaction from Fan’s rage, putting out the cigarette on the brothers hand felt good, I won’t lie.
So far this series is giving so much more than what I’ve been expecting. And honestly it’s so nice to see decent kissing scenes instead of the stiff kisses or those dead fish kisses I’ve seen lately from series. Some companies need to start understanding how to give viewers decent kissing scene.
