I made the mistake of watching the first 2 episodes before reading the synopsis of the show on iQIYI… It’s giving a HIStory 3: Make it Count last two episodes. Dear Taiwan: I need happy BL endings, not tragedies after building up my hope for the main couple. 😭😭😭I’m still gonna watch it, of course, but I’m gonna wait until it’s done airing to continue. I already know I’m not gonna be able to wait every week after the super sad part hits.
The romance isn’t overt which is why a lot of people are upset. They were hoping for something a long the lines…
I think it’s because of MLs high celebrity status. I anticipated watching this a year ago, but as it kept getting delayed, I had a feeling it would be washed before airing. I was still willing at the time, though. But the comments about sad events every couple episodes is enough to keep me from watching it. Life is stressful enough. I watch dramas to escape for a while.
I’ve picked this up twice and set it down twice. It’s hard to get into. can’t quite put my finger on why though. I seem to be able to get through only 5-6 episodes at a time.
Y’all, I’m wracking my brain but can’t remember the name of the actor who plays the prisoner in the skinning case, Zhang Dongxuan. I’ve seen him in other dramas and love his work. He’s not listed in the cast list- that I can see. Nor could I find him using a Google image search. 😭
Wang Xing Yue must have been very young when he filmed this drama as he is just 23 yo rn when this drama was launched…
He was 18-19. Doesn’t really look it though. Props to makeup and styling for that. Also he doesn’t have that baby face- he’s all sharp jawline and edges at 18-19. Crazy.
I was wondering why the kissing scenes were so chaste, then I realized Wang Xing Yue was 18-19 when filming this while Bu Guan Jin was 26-27.
I actually really enjoyed the acting from everyone. Nie Zi Hao played Ji Ding Yue really well. By the end he looked the part. Well played. Wang Xing Yue really did a great job. I’ve seen several of his dramas by now- One and Only (supporting) being the earliest- this being the first one as a ML and he did so well. He only got better. I’m looking forward to his next projects. 😊
I want to watch this but the only streaming site it’s on right now is Disney+. I hate that I pay a subscription and STILL have to deal with 2+ minute ads I can’t skip. Kills my binge flow. It’s “coming soon” to Viki and not at all on Tencent. ☹️
I’m on episode 11 and I can’t tell if Prince Xian is good or bad. He seems a little too nonchalant about everything, focusing on his plants, but there’s something about him that makes me feel like he’s a cunning schemer of bad things putting up this benevolent front.
We are off to a ❤️🔥start. After episode 1, I know I’m gonna love every minute of this drama. My humble theory: Roy is already in love with Zen. He has been WAITING for this opportunity. I think he’s using this to make Zen realize/acknowledge his feelings are romantic, not platonic.
No, Barcode filmed this series before he joined GMM. GMM doesn't have anything to do with this.And to clarify…
I’m wondering if they are letting Jeff’s agency pursue it. Seems unfair if they are, unless they’re contributing financially to his legal action. Or maybe laws work differently in Thailand and they can’t or won’t pursue it on his behalf for some reason in the contract. That seems more likely. Jeff owns the company suing on his behalf. It makes sense that SoS is pursuing this. I wonder if GMM won’t act because, like you said, the contract only covers his interests after the contract start date. Wuju Bakeey has little to do with them. Tbough if it’s successful after it was released, it would have promoted their actor so they would have reaped the benefits with no money or effort expended on their end. Even if the contract says they have no legal obligation to intervene in this case, I think they should to protect their actor. Both Jeff and Barcode deserve to be fairly compensated for their work.
