I bawled like a baby. Seriously. Big, fat, hot, UGLY tears. I’m still a mess. I stayed up all night and into the morning hours to finish the last 10 episodes. I could not go to sleep without getting through it. And while I’m glad there was a special episode to try to lessen the pain, I’m still very much in my feels.
But the cast… How are all the heroes so damn good looking?! Like, I was even rooting for Li Lun because damn he is one fine naughty man. And our Great Demon.. now I need to pick Dashing Youth back up just to see him again.
I may also have a small, tiny tiny crush for Fei. He’s a new definition of toxic. Don’t judge me for it. I’m planning to happily skip to the next drama with Zou Yi or Yan An in it after finishing Dashing youth. Something where they’re wearing long hair…because the long hair WORKS for me.
Ok, eye-candy gushing aside. Seriously. If you are reading this comment and not sure if you should pick up this drama- you should definitely do so. Bring tissue though- the whole box. 🤧😭Did I love it? Yup. Will I watch it again? Nope. 🙂↔️
Hot dayum. I’m looking forward to the rest of this. The toxicity. The chemistry. It’s definitely less toxic than the manhwa, but still up there in enjoyability if you like toxic relationship dramas. Bro is passively addicted to Iljo. And Iljo is definitely okay with being Jeong Han’s obsession- and he is DEFINITELY obsessed. Obsessed and POSSESSIVE AF. And I’m here for every second of this ride.
Jeong Ri U brought the 🔥in his Sukfilm works, especially Seoul Blues, and he’s still bringing it. The man is good. Like, those kisses have me 🫠. Don’t know why but I didn’t expect Yoon Ji Sung to meet him with equal 🔥. The man is bold and makes no apologies. No hesitation. I’m very glad for it. It’s gonna make for one hell of a series as long as it doesn’t fall flat towards the end. fingers crossed. PLEASE don’t fall flat. This will be a repeat watch if it stays as strong as Secret Relationship did.
It was cute but I really liked the manga better. The extra scenes and the closeness was more…something. Also, the Chiaki in the manga looked way different and the personality was just a bit “more.” Maybe if they hadn’t given him that har job… It didn’t suit him at all. I’m gonna check out another one of his dramas where he’s a ML though.
AE/Enaga was well-casted though. He’s gorgeous. I want to watch him in other dramas- BL or not (though BL is preferable, of course 😉). Those eyes… Seriously.
I think you'll like season 2, then. The art and art history were especially of interest to me. But of course,…
Absolutely. I decided to take a short break from detective cdramas (this was my 4th in a row)- but then started watching Fangs of Fortune because I wanted a historical story next…still a detective type drama, but with the added supernatural elements and wuxia, so it’s “different”. I’ll be picking up S2 after, though. Because I need to know what’s up with that ending!
I just completed this and I gotta say, I was entertained. I loved the character development and the cases. I loved how the team became more of a family unit, and how they worked well together. Of course, the tension to friendship to brotherly bond growth between Du Cheng and Shen Yi was worth the watch alone. There were some iffy BL-esq parts that my BL heart was enjoying very happily in its delulu land (the shooting range scene, for one).
But aside from that, my absolute fave was Shen Yi. His growth, artistic talent, and quiet brilliance was truly a pleasure to watch. I’m looking forward to diving into the more even more psychological S2 (or so I’ve gathered from the comments). The ending for S1 had me like?! If it weren’t almost midnight on a Sunday night before an early wake-up, I’d be diving in already. Tomorrow will have to do. Thankfully, I have a 5 day break coming. 😊
I need him to get “caught” by someone. The “inevitable-ness” of the BL world. Today’s episode, while entertaining, had almost zero plot progression. 3 more episodes to go…
You Shu Lang is a top for Zhen, but there’s no way Xiao Fan’s personality will allow him to bottom for Shu Lang so… I’m pretty confident that Shu Lang’s gonna learn to love bottoming for Fan. 🤭
What I found interesting in E4 is that Shu Lang knew his hand was moving, knew it was moving south under the blanket, yet he WAITED until he touched "it" before he reacted. Me thinks someone protests too much...belatedly at that. 😉
I’m convinced. 🍦were made just for this purpose. Aaaaaaanddddd another WHOLE week of endless waiting… I know better than to watch JBLs before they’re done airing. Impulse control melts faster than Watarai after Hioki 👅 his cone 🤭🫠🤫 I read the novel and I’m happy it’s following with all the important scenes. Next week is gonna be crazy. Dear BL Gods, please give us the extra scenes… Please and thank you with a 🍒 on top. Shamelessly begging here.
