I'm at episode 12... Don't get me wrong but this show is so comedically angsty sometimes and it's like I'm back in the 90s watching a Mexican soap opera on TV. Btw, a solid watch, not your average toxic BL. Hopefully, more stories like this will be adapted into live-action format.
A pretty good LGBTQ+ slice-of-life fantasy movie from Taiwan. There are def sparks between the two main characters, it's not just a simple friendship or bromance imho.
It seems to me that most viewers of the genre are young, and even in Japan it’s considered "old".
Valid point. Kinda understand that, for example, an 18-year-old person thinks that 38 is old -- 38 is indeed much older than 18. When reading comments "oh, 30+ is old man/woman whatever" kinda makes me feel old. 😭
It was enjoyable and addictive, it was a good binge-watch. 😁 Hua Yong has become one of my all-time favorite (BL) characters: complex, morally grey, devoted lover/husband and exactly the kind of toxic I like. The story could have been a bit longer -- the second couple, especially my lovely Gao Tu, deserved more screen time. Not a masterpiece, but it is a high quality CBL drama.
The source material is a BL: https://www.cmoa.jp/title/184998/ Is the jdrama version really not a BL? Is it really a 'fujobait' ? Or are the BL elements just being underplayed? I'm just asking this bc according to DramaOtaku, it's a BL.
7.7 rating? Seriously? I was expecting a crime thriller about a serial killer but twist after twist and the story became something else... Something more complex and psychologically/ emotionally deeper. I didn't regret watching this. (I rarely comment on this platform and I accept that people have different fictional tastes and this is not a perfect jdorama, but still the rating is bit too low imho.)
