Good thing they release 4 eps a week, we only have 2 weeks left, glad you’ve started it already so you could…
I was also worried about the ending spoiling my wish to watch it later…coz you never know, it’s a Chinese BL/bromance after all….🤔Better to watch it when I can really enjoy the series…
Originally I was going to wait for this to end before binge watching it….... BUT……I ended up watching some clips where istg one of the ML was giving pretty intense jealous glares….BL or bromance or whatever, I caved in right then….🤣🤣🤣
I haven’t watched the prequel as I tend to avoid the historical genre and tragedies and it seems to be both, but even as a stand alone I loved this drama. It had such a mature, calm and elegant vibe going for it that watching it felt almost soothing to me. The emotional part in the final leg of the drama was very well done. This had been on my iqiyi watchlist from a long time. I don’t know why I kept postponing watching this. But now that I have, all I can say is I was an idiot:) Both Bail Lu and Ren Jia Lun did an amazing job. I could feel their love for each other in every frame even without explicit skinship. How they went from being awkward to so comfortable with each other was very well depicted especially the ML who was already an introvert to start with.
Loved the many supporting characters like Uncle Lin, Lin Fei, Yuanyuan and Zhousheng Ren. I was really looking forward to more scenes of the teenage brother. His almost idol worship of his eldest cousin brother and sister in law was adorable. The only character that didn’t gel with me was the terminally ill sister, Wenxing. She was supposedly this Mary Sue character but somehow irritated me every time she came on screen!
The irony of having a mouthwash and spray mouth freshener PPL every 5 minutes and not even a single kiss…🤣🤣 Jokes apart, chinese bromance or whatever, the story was lovely and heartwarming. An enjoyable watch with good looking and more importantly, better actors.
Excited to see Zhou Yi Ran in a bad boy role but I wish they could have cast someone better for the role of FL. At first I didn't notice because of the misleading photo but then I realized she's the FL from Binary Love...Bad choice for sure.
The ratings are on a slow rise. Not bad. Except for the characterization of 2 female leads and abysmal work place dynamics/professionalism, this drama is pretty good.
Time pass drama with really good looking, well dressed leads. ML was impressive, FL so-so. Honestly, even I found her weird eye makeup distracting. Story looked like it was taken out of a generic manhua but it was executed well enough for a web drama. I have seen worse web dramas for sure. Surely they had better child artists though? There were 3 of them and none looked like they could be genetically connected to the ML or FL tbh.
Going to keep a look out for the ML’s future projects. His smile is really attractive and acting wasn’t bad. Saw his bio and he was a support character in Lighter & Princess? I seriously can’t remember!
