I love storylines that realistically portray the hardships encountered by women and their ability to persevere and come out as victors and not victim. An Xin and her mother remind me of my mother and myself. Faced with a relationship teetering on the edge my mom’s advice was the same….get the money, cry if you must, then try your tears, put on your make-up and walk out with your head held high. When my cousin’s husband cheated in her she got the same advice. Long story short we both got the victory. The ones who thought they had won ended up broken and miserable. Karma is a bitch.
Her husband has to be the biggest village idiot that I have ever seen in any of these dramas.. yes there are so…
Totally agree. There was never any romance in the relationship with the ex and the mistress. It was all about fulfilling unattainable fantasies. The two were both hideous. The actress was deliberately made to look hideous as a symbol of the shame they represented. Contrast that with the beauty of the wife physically and how true and fresh life feels with her handsome supportive new love. For once we have the wife being victorious . The other series with a similar scenario is Marriage: Perfect Revenge.
You ever watch a series that is so messed up you just like it anyway! Well, this is it for me. I cant help it! I really like the male leads. The aunt is so raunchy I just had to see her get karma. She definitely gets the award for most skanky outfits. Buy that girl some clothes! Lol…if you cant act the part at least you can look the part. Obviously had a low budget….they worked with what they had and at least made it entertaining. These two make out like rabbits. That alone is worth watching. Two kidnappings and more slaps than I can count. Grandma in the hospital again and she even turns against him. Can either ml catch a break. Somebody is laughing all the way to the bank. This was clearly meant to be a farce. If you pay close attention you will recognize short clips of songs from other bls.
I stumbled upon this little gem. I think it is highly underestimated. As an introvert I could relate to the awkwardness and the underlying fears that surface when suddenly the potential for love surfaces. Your first instinct is to tread cautiously and guard your heart. It was cute and sweet.
It is over and I am overwhelmed by how someone finally got the ending right! After being disappointed by the bl endings coming from China I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. This was such an awesome and lovely ending to a romantic rollercoaster ride. The emphasis on family and friendship was so heartwarming. I love how all six of our guys came together to celebrate Cheng’s release and acknowledge the sacrifice made by Wei. What a homecoming for both Wei and Cheng. The icing on the cake was seeing our second couple also ending on a high note. I wish I had a sugar daddy like Chiang and Xiao. I even grew to love Shuo. He and his brother proved to be a delightful addition. Of course seeing the entire family embrace Wei made me cry. His parents need not worry. Wei will never be alone again. I have not loved an ending like this since Life, Love on the Line. My only regret is that it is over. This has been one of the best bl casts ever. I wish Zi Yu , Zhan Xuan, Ning, Cheng, Jun and Birgit happiness and success in the future. I still cannot believe that Zi Yu, Ning and Jun are only 23 years old. Such talent at such a young age. This is definitely one of the best bl series of 2025. It definitely goes on my rewatch list.
Wow! I am loving this…not just one but two couples oozing sexual tension amidst the background of political and societal unrest! I grew up in the sixties so this is like walking down memory lane. It was the hippie era as well as the start of the sexual revolution interwoven with civil and political unrest. This is not the typical cookie cutter bl. In fact to even label it as bl is in my opinion being condescending. It is so much more than just a bl. Kudos to Apo and Miles for giving us such a quality project. There are so many political innuendoes but it is entertaining at the same time.
Its over and I got my happy ending. There is so much to say but what resonates with me are these five points: 1. Not one time did Gwang Suk waver from her commitment to the brothers. I admire a person who makes a vow and keeps it. 2. There was never any doubt about the brothers love for Su Gang. No disparaging innuendoes or resentment . In fact they were extremely protective and expressed genuine concern. As the mother of two adoptive children and one biological child I found this depiction heartwarming and encouraging. 3. It felt good to see the right people get punished. No glorifying the greedy ex-wives or allowing those that did wrong go without some form of punishment. 4. It took 54 episodes but all four brothers find love. I wish Dong’s son had a love interest but I cant have everything. 5. A big shout out for Sil Ju and Dong. It is possible to find love in your senior years. We may be old but we are not dead yet! 6. I said five but I have to add a sixth one. Forgiveness and redemption. I love how this was handled. As awful as Dokgo was I always felt he really did love AeMi and vice versa. So for me all is well that ends well. This goes on my rewatch list.
Hua is a real psychopath. At this point I could care less if he is Alpha or Omega or whatever. He is playing a dangerous game. However I am still intigued by the intensity of our couples and their relationship dynamics. Plus they just are too darn hot for me to stop watching! I also want to know why Gai is living in such a dump! Lol..wouldnt be me! I sure hope the two of them end up on the same wavelength despite this Omega aversion. Forget replacing the darn lights. Buy Gai an upscale apartment!
Well we are off and running. Love it already. Apo and Miles are back and not holding back. This is not for the faint in heart. This not your typical bl and I am all in.
Okay it is over and I can say this will definitely go on my rewatch list. For me it hit all the points I want in a bl. First, it was entertaining. The cast was outstanding. I came for Zee and Nu and they did not disappoint. I loved the characters and how their relationship slowly evolves. The societal issues were woven into the storyline in an interesting way without changing the overall tone. My main concerns were dealt with: The treacherous king dies A new king and a new era is instituted A statement was made for gender equality. The princess was a pleasant addition. She provided the statement that was needed for female equality. Ramil finally stood up to his dad and the reconciliation between he and Paytail was tearfully heartwarming. Prince Calvin and Jay finally talk and reveal their true feelings for each other. I thought their kiss was cute. They got the screen time they needed. It was nice seeing Net and JJ but I understood it was always about the main leads. Chakri provided the humor and the actor playing that role always knows his assignment. I got my happy ending and the proposal at the end was the icing on the cake for me. I loved the time spent on our main couple at the end. I personally hate it when they devote so much time to the side couples that all we get is a quick kiss at the very end with the main couple. We got what I hoped for. So for me the 8.0 rating is spot on accurate. Personally I scored it higher.
The first episode was so much fun! I am loving it! When he grabbed that lace to complete his outfit I couldnt stop laughing. This is going to be a fun ride.
Another entitled female. I see the fiancee causing more trouble . As much as I love this series I am disturbed by the images which unfortunately are very realistically depicted. I personally know of three arranged marriages. And these were in modern times. Each couple married to please their parents. They did like each other and thought that was enough. They felt love would come. It did not. They parted ways. With both couples in the series there are societal divisions which I fear will not be resolved happily. With that said the visuals are stunning. Both couples are giving amazing performances.
Short but so sweet! It shows how it doesnt take a big budget or empty fillers to tell a love story. Here we have two talented hunks who have amazing chemistry and did so much with so little. From start to finish I was hooked. My only regret is that it was not longer. Somehow I feel together they will be able to live life again. The last scene was so beautiful and filled with hope. One last thing…those pearls the gangster was wearing were to die for. We ladies know our pearls and those made a profound statement. No explanation needed. I hope we see more of these two.
I could relate to this. When my best friend was diagnosed with terminal cancer I wondered why I had not been able…
That is an interesting perspective. I have often thought about that myself. Whatever the motive this is a hard call. Even when my mom was having a surgical procedure she did not tell me. It was her friend who broke down and told me. Even my dad kept it from me. I rushed to the hospital and just seeing my mom laying there i collapsed on her bed and just sobbed. That is just how she knew I would react. Thanks for your response. It gives me food for thought.
