ah man i fear we wont ever see Mr. sheng properly forgiving hua yong and he just gets forcibly love trapped by the perma mark and the baby that he will be in denial about. Mr sheng really has no choice in this at all.
I was searching for this info, thank you. How didn't Shen Wen Lang recognized him, only Gao Tu glasses fell off,…
no in the novel hes so drunk on alcohol he doesn't know where he is and then gets high on the omega pheromones which make him go into rut. The show was bad at displaying this. He looked 100% sober and now we just think hes lacking brain cells or something, especially the scene where he says "how come he is affected by alpha pheromones, it must be his asthma"??? LIKE BRO are you dumb.
By drunk do you mean on Gao Tu's scent or from alcohol? Coz he seemed sober in every way.My point exactly. Hua…
In the book he was alcohol drunk but i think the series tried to show it as pheromone drunk and failed really badly. omg your point about doing a love trap made this even more fucked up. in the book its not a love trap so im hoping they wont do this here. I really cant see mr sheng forgiving hua yong without force. what if its just gonna be one scene like the one in the trailer where he says "everything about you is a lie, even your sister is fake" and he tries to resist the kiss and just .. gives up..... ??? that might be the only scene we see and then from then onwards sheng is just ok with everything. if they do that then this will be a disaster.
The direction and editing are really off. Shen Wen Lang was supposed to be drunk out of his mind when finding Gao Tu but he seemed complete sober yet still failed to recognise him in a brightly lit room. they could have shown him stumbling around following the scent and getting more and more intoxicated but it was just so rushed. The main couple scene was also very rushed and behind a heavy filter which is more censoring than ive seen from most BL dramas, we could hardly see anything and it was just a couple of lines of dialogue for the most part. I also wanted to see Sheng Shao You fight back more, i loved the punch but i needed to see him fighting more before being subdued. At the end of ep 9 Hua Yong arranges to meet with Sheng Shao You to pass over the cancer curing drug or something, but when this happens i want Hua Yong to see how injured Sheng shao you is and feel guilty but they probably wont go that far. It seems alot of the direction for this show has the actors being cold towards each other. If hua yong is supposed to care deeply for sheng shao you then why is he so unfazed whenever he sees the physical damage he caused him and emotional damage from messing with his pheromones and mind.
One of the books Trin was reading is Towards An Understanding of Homosexuality by Daniel Capone, which says that…
yes but it is just nice to see how he is learning about himself in the show by the use of note taking etc when he reads books. Alot of dramas do not show this. the drama is showing the development of Tirin as a character as he explores possibilities along side his own feelings. Just the fact that he wrote "mental illness?" is enough to show us that he is exploring and playing with a future he could possibly have being in a gay relationship and the drawbacks in the current society.
The library scene was so sweet, it felt so natural and real for a couple working out the beginnings of their relationship. Im also intrigued that apos character seems to be struggling with depression and when he was reading books on homosexuality he wrote down something like 'Mental illness?'. I love being able to see what the character is thinking as he learn about himself. I also love miles character trying to cheer him up by complimenting his smile and trying his hardest to get close to him.
I also struggle to feel genuine love from HY. He never seems uncomfortable that he's having to lie so much to…
yeah exactly lol, im really hoping we get more dynamics between them except just lying and sedating Mr sheng. i want more actual angst and some pushback. and i want to see hua yong really stress over mr sheng being injured and play the protector for once (in the traditional sense not just deception) especially in the scene from the trailer of the earthquake.
BL has a whole history and reputation behind it and it is celebrated, saying this is not a BL feels so wrong. Its part of the culture and it helps promote this content, splitting it all up into random terms like man love or something is over complex and unnecessary. BL is an experience of its own.
I have a long history of loving toxic, morally grey characters. For example, I rewatch “HIStory 1: Obsession”…
i agree, i would have liked him to be more suspicious so it became more of a game where they are slightly more equal players. Total domination is just not so fun, i want to see mr sheng get suspicious and start to look at hua yong differently more early on but still have desire for him. He just lays there unconscious and it not too fun.
Is anyone else struggling to feel any genuine love from hua yong? I also not to happy the the forced heats pretty much just completely sedate Mr Sheng, it would have been nicer if it was like his alpha rut earlier in the series where he showed more desperation and need for his partner, now he's just laying there being S/Aed. I am enjoying this as the first omegaverse drama but its just a few things i think could have been shown a bit better. It feels like hua Yongs obsession is so much that it is just enveloping any genuine feelings towards Mr sheng, its hard to feel any warmth from him even when hes faking it.
I read the book and it was much easier to digest as Mr. sheng is depicted as 'giving in' and welcoming the onslaught instead of just laying there unconscious whilst being touched up by Hua yong.
I understand this is unique and more of a predator/prey than romance but theres a few things that could have been depicted a bit better.
its still a bl as thats the focus of the main leads? bl means gay regardless of age. BL is not a negative or immature genre. If we have two older women in a serious GL it would still be GL. BL is just a genre that covers the whole spectrum of gay romance.
