On second thought Chi Cheng deserves better
Edit
Came to edit my review after watching ep 18
No spoilers
I think Wu Suowei doesn’t deserve Chi Cheng
The MC is too funny. I haven’t laughed this much in such a long time. I had sworn off BL because I couldn’t stand the bad acting in Thai dramas, too much reliance on smut. I was just reading yaoi manhwa 🙈 But if this is the future of BL, then I’m back for good 😂
Things I liked
This drama feels realistic. The MC didn’t fall for the ML overnight
He wasn’t straight then suddenly gay for the ml 😂
It took time for him to come around.
His dramatic reactions to the ML’s touch were such a breath of fresh air.
The MC wasn’t a pushover, and I loved him for that
. I do wish the ML was less forceful, but I’m still glad he didn’t cross the line.
It’s easy to write MLs who assault their way into a love story, but harder to write strong ones who exercise restraint.
Things I disliked
I didn’t like how much the ML liked his snakes.
I hated that he ordered some guys to gang rape someone who had helped his father take away the snakes. Yes, he told them not to kill the guy, but I was like; bro, you’re putting him through something probably worse than death.
I didn’t like the MC at first. He felt weak, like a pushover, letting Yue Yue’s new boyfriend hurt him more than once. Honestly, it felt like karma when the ML caused that boyfriend to crash and almost die (which, by the way, was a crime, one of many committed by the ML).
I absolutely hated it when Chi Cheng threatened to rape Xiao Shuai if he didn’t convince Da Bao to sleep with him. That’s criminal behavior. Why not just be patient and wait for your straight boy friend to come around? You can’t expect someone to become gay overnight and be okay with being intimate when they’re not ready.
I also didn’t like how Xiao Shuai pressured Da Bao to go all the way with Chi Cheng. It felt like he was impatient to get his straight friend laid. Da Bao isn’t gay (yet), and he’s doing this because of revenge.
P.S. A huge part of my enjoyment is thanks to the Chinese language. Some things that might not be funny in English were absolutely hilarious in Chinese.
I do prefer the second lead
Can the other half just be about them?
I want to see more of them
Their dynamic seems more healthy than the first couple
Chi Cheng is too horny for his own good and I think he take it easy with his boyfriend bc he’s new to all this
I think you can love someone but still not be ready for intimacy
