Ok, I see no romance tag for this drama, which for me is a HUGE plus because I'm more into friendship/mystery/adventure/action…
I really enjoyed this drama. It is definitely more friendship focused and about the connections the ML makes with the people around him. There isn't really much romance. What little bit there is, it's mostly one-sided; the male lead has bigger priorities and doesn't have time to fall in love. He's too focused on trying to save his mentor Fang Zhou (the one he really loves most) anyway.
Wow, this devolved. We've now got some random boring game plot starring Su Bei Lu's uninteresting friend and the…
Yeah, they could've done without that plotline. I personally didn't mind it too much, but it really should have just been one episode. It dragged on for too long.
It's been a very enjoyable show so far! You should definitely check it out. And it's more historical time travel/slight…
Yes, there is humor sprinkled in as well! There are dorky/silly moments with Su Beilu. And, they do have an older serious/carefree youger type of friendship. Beilu definitely has golden retriever energy.
I saw an edit, and it looked amazing and quite funny, so I don't know if this is a hidden gem that somehow not…
It's been a very enjoyable show so far! You should definitely check it out. And it's more historical time travel/slight sci-fi than fantasy. There are wuxia/fantasy elements in a couple of episodes, but not the whole show.
I'm not hating on this drama, this is my honest opinion as an avid Bromance non-bl drama fan This drama is a friendship…
I'm an avid bromance non-bl drama watcher myself! And I really liked The First Shot. A very good drama.
I can totally get where you're coming from with this drama. I do wish they had more of those types of interactions myself. Although I'm still really liking the show. I personally feel Bizhi and Beilu do share a close connection that goes beyond just being colleagues. Their friendship is just more subtle? They get along well enough that they live together and enjoy each other's company. And maybe part of the reason one may feel a disconnect between them is because Beilu already has two close friendships? Especially with Chin Ge?
Although I hope be do get more angsty interactions between Bizhi and Beilu in future episodes.
I can't hold back anymore, I just gotta vent! that fl is seriously so frustrating. she's the epitome of my most…
Yeah, I kind of agree with you. A Shui did get a little annoying in the show. I didn't hate her or anything, but I wasn't the biggest fan. Their "romance" doesn’t really go anywhere. The one who always mattered the most to Tan Lici was his mentor, Fang Zhou.
Just some between side characters so far and the two male leads have a cute bromance/friendship going on!
The comment below basically answered that question. No, not BL. Mainland Chinese shows can't have explicit BL because of censorship. The relationship between the two MLs could be up to your interpretation. I see it as a deep platonic friendship/bromance, but you could definitely see it as more if you want. There's no right or wrong answer 🤷🏼♀️
is it untamed level bromance or just plain genuine bromancewas the original novel BL?
Plain genuine bromance, although you could easily read it to be more than that if you wanted. And the original novel is not a technically BL, from what I've heard.
