Jess Wu Era

Wait what? So it's not new content? I was so excited for this now am 'meh' about it. Will watch anyway cause it's 2gther and I need to pay respects to my First BL drama...:)

This thing hasn't even aired yet and it already 2000+ comments.... Thats more comments than most dramas on the site... The anticipation is high.....

It's not great but it's entertaining, I personally like it but i don't think I'd ever watch it again or think about the show and I think that's a better idea to binge watch than watch 1 ep per week. I don't like gene actor too...

Yesss!!! Am sooo exited for this!

Lol someone said that this type of Chinese drama does not have any type of magic, that ii was a wuxia and those don't have magic or any fantasy elements... So was Abit confused. Anyway. Thanks!

Can someone kindly explain to me how putting on makeup and a mask changes the build and voice of the person...am just Abit taken aback by liu qian qiao change... Is it magic or should I just suspend my disbelief for the sake of enjoyment?

But... Word of honor didn't get promo too and it's doing well, I think cause WOH is bold when it comes to showing the love between the leads and is true to the source material as they could be (despite expansion of the story) that they are actually successful... and really GJ and ZZH where not that famous b4 this either,as GJ was not picked up for a role cause (as he was told by the producers) he was not famous enough.... So I think if this show was half as bold as WOH and UT, it would have been just as successful, because everything else about the show is just as brilliant as that of WOH...

If you want chinese BL go watch word of honor, it s awesome.

Wait, if bucky and steve called each other soulmates, were not interested in any women and stared at each other with pure love for minutes on end as well as being actually gay in the source material then even without them coming out and saying they were inlove you would automatically interpret their relationship as a romantic one (if america censored gay content)... But bucky and steve are friends cause Steve is head over heels inlove with Peggy Carter , and is actually attracted to women (sharon carter and in the comics Natasha ) there is NO WAY Steve and buckys relationship can be interpreted as anything BUT a great friendship... Now lan wanji and wei wuxian for example are different... Lan wanji stares at wei wuxian like he is the sun and viceversa, they explicitly said they were soulmates , both have shown interest in no one but each other, both have sacrificed for the other and apart from this they are ACTUAL LITERAL HUSBANDS in the source material....I fail to understand how you can compare characters like these to Steve and his good ol pal bucky....

But it's also in the subtext, the writers get creative and work hard to convey to the audience that the leads are indeed in a relationship, they are forced to do so because of censorship they can't be as straight forward as Thai or Taiwanese dramas, they don't have the luxury.

Some adaptations of same sex work are actually changed into bromances, but the 2 shows I've mentioned above untamed and word of honor were creative enough and let the audience interpret the relationship between the two leads themselves and didn't try to sell the bromance trope as hard as other adaptations like winter begonia and other titles, ..... So I believe, depending on how a project is executed, Chinese BLs are an actual thing.

Oohh that's bad... And has it really been proven that the accusers where lying or are fans of the show discrediting the victims claims simply cause the victimizer is an idol?

I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes of the first episode and have just been sitting on this all this time ( the sound effects where killing me), I got so bored today that I decided to give it a chance and am surprised.. I like it...it's actually decent.

I like it, I actually like it (●__●)

Major Spoiler!!!!







..
Am so horrified, I just read about the death of Cao weining and I am not okay, why would priest hurt me like that.. like I knew he would die but did it have to be so painful?

China too... I mean word of honor , untamed, immortality and countless other BLs coming out this year and next year. I mean these BLs might not have any kissing scenes but I dare you to watch word of honor and tell me it's not a BL.

What scandal?

Yeah, she kinda did, if this was real life, chenglings reaction is normal and people are complex, nobody does the right thing all the time and I think that's the same for ZZS and WKX, These are flawed characters that have done really nasty staff, I didn't like ZZS at all in the first episode and WKX has done his fare share of evil, them being adults and killing innocents for so long... Why should we expect more from Chengling? Whose entire family was tortured and killed? The emotional trauma alone is enough to make a person do something crazy.... and his father taught him want betrayal was, he knows not to trust anyone and believes ZZS is blinded by love.... I don't know, ....but it's a drama and not real so we as the audience expect a more unrealistic reaction from a 14 year old boy (me included at times).. I saw the spoilers and no lie I wanted to slap the heck out of ZCL LOL... But at times, real odd times I kinda understand the little sh"t... :)))

Ignore me while I point out the obvious but Yaaaayyy!!! the rating went up ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ❤ as it should.

Yes. Thank you, I. Also do not understand why pple dislike the drama. Like why???

Aaannnd we did LOL. Still loved the episode though, no complaints cause I know everything will work out in the end
