Good for him. Hope he picks good projects coz I didn't particularly like him in Crushology 101. Big expressive characters suit him.

Not all short dramas are bad. I found some really great ones - Save Myself/What A Good Girl is an example of a strong FL.
Sinful Marriage was also good.
I have a list of short dramas of various countries and genres that I enjoyed.

They ruined the drama by making a badass FL turn into a helpless one. How ridiculous. Did her brain also stop functioning? Constantly keeping things from the ML became irritating.

Okay, thank you. 😊

Poster looks nice

So this is a different drama?

Yup same. 🥲 It has become too sad for me to enjoy. Maybe it is better not to include the father. He seems too cruel. I guess we won't see Gao Tu until the finale now. Unless the writers decide to change the story a bit and speed the story up. Again no expectations at this point.

We are similar in that sense. I was watching Revenged Love and someone recommended ABO Desire since it is also a Chinese BL. I am kinda new to BLs itself and had 0 idea about Omegaverse so I just read the intro thread someone created. But I have never seen this genre in any form so this drama is the first. I just naturally get drawn to sad lonely misunderstood characters so I ended up liking Gao Tu. As the story went on I have just been feeling worse and worse for him. It is so disappointing to know that he has such a tragic plotline. 😥 I have also given up now. It's obviously a story focused on SSY and HY and even their story got dragged in a sense. So GT's just felt like crumbs all this while. Will that other character Ma Heng show up in the drama? I really want to see Gao Tu being supported and loved. 💔

If there was one thing that was missing from the finale, it was seeing more of Minami's friend and the number 1 host. There was potential that I would have liked explored. Maybe it is just me being greedy but they looked good together too.

Still I hope people enjoy the show overall as much as I did. I have been in a drama slump and this is one drama that got me out of it and looking forward to each new episode! I'm really going to miss it!

I finally saw the final episode and damn I felt so emotional. At one point I wanted to give Takamori Taiga a hug. It was a great adventure. I'm glad I found this gem. I hope it's rating increase because 7.9 is not justified.

I don't know how it's cliche? But even if it is, that just makes Gao Tu more relatable than anything else. And if you can relate to a character, you will obviously love them more. I guess I should have low expectations for the final 3 episodes. But even if I was reading this novel, I think it would have been a torture for me since he's my favourite character.

I don't think they can cover all this in 3 episodes or they can but really badly. So basically you're telling me, Gao Tu will suffer till the very end?
Why did the author hate Gao Tu so much? 😕

Yeah I figured these types are more common in anime, manga, web novels, etc. I don't consume such media and even in dramas and movies, I tend to prefer green flag characters majority of the time.

That's the problem. Why does Mild remember being raped too if he was only kissed by Knight? But the show wants you to believe Knight's version. TBH it messed with my head to just move on from the flashback scene. Knight's explanation was weak for me.

You were right to drop it. I have seen some enjoyable BLs and this is not one of them. I hope the actors pick better projects in future.

Yes, I suppose insane wasn't the appropriate word. It's just the disconnection that is happening with the story-telling because of lack of certain details that give me that impression.
I just looked into the definition of yandere. This does help me understand his character better. Though I don't recall seeing such characters in dramas or at least not in a romantic setting I guess so it is a struggle to accept.
I appreciate the explanation. 😊

I feel that there is so much nuance to this story in the novel that just isn't translating well in the drama. I could understand that the brothers dynamic wasn't great but when they leave so much out, it becomes so hard to empathise with Hua Yong. It is sort of a disservice to the character.

Disclosure: I don't like Hua Yong (now those who do can skip this post)

Ep13: The depictions of Hua Yong get stranger even when trying to give him a sad back story. He comes across as an obsessed stalker which is the least worst thing about him atp. But as others said, if he wasn't attractive or playing the ML, most wouldn't like him and this would be a thriller rather than a romance drama.

Regarding his brother, he deserved a beating for instigating him and tearing up the photo but why was there so much blood? Were they suggesting he cut off his brother's arm/hand? And Hua Yong taping it together with his brother's blood all over the painting (or was it a photo) just makes Hua Yong look even crazier. 🤷‍♀️

I feel like the blood was unnecessary. Him putting the picture together would have been more sentimental. The blood makes it look like his brother was dead since we never saw the brother's condition. And even if he only seriously injured his brother, wouldn't he have gotten in trouble with the law for it?

Even when I'm supposed to sympathise with Hua Yong, he is depicted as insane. Yet I get called a hater when this is the way he is written. 🙃 Anyway, I just want to know what happened to the brother.

Yes since we invested time in it so we have the right to criticise a show unlike those who make personal comments because they can't agree to disagree. You lot are no different than that haters of actors. You only see actors as humans but it's okay to bully viewers for even the most tiniest of criticism.

Well some people actually hate rape tropes while others love it and make excuses for it and sly comments against anyone speaking out against romanticising rape just because they are obsessed with the actors physical appearance.
