You will be surprised. China produce a TON of those vertical drama and clearly popularized this type of content. And now, everyone does them. It's cheap, it's fast and very compatible with mobile. It's the Fast Food of Drama. :P

Not really, I personally - and hope - no one here would do such thing. It's a minority but unfortunately it's real. The main point was the overall negativity, just hoping people talk a bit more about what they actually like instead of what they hate. It really wasn't that deep. :)

Just look at your reaction.

What I will say next do not take it personally as I don't know you so I cannot truly judge you over one comment but:

- People can talk about whatever they want but those days they mostly focus on what they hate on a drama.
- Then, People echo themselves making this hate wagon bigger.
- And finally, it's daily with the same ranting over & over again.

Again not about you, but some are just plain fanatic about the lead. Don't get me wrong I love them but the blind hate against any characters that get in between them is absurd at some point. Some people will literally go to the Actor Social Media accounts to spread their hate over that.

At the end of the day, it's just a fictional character.

Peoples just blow this out of proportion. I wouldn't say she is the most likeable character but there is nothing wrong with her (or the SML or FL's brother). It remind me of the current hate wagon of Chu Zhao from "Legend of the Female General". People just love more to hate than loving those days. Or more like, they are more vocal about it maybe.

"Who needs enemies when you have friends like this ?" is quite fitting here. :P

This girl is the dumbest character I've seen in a while. Discover that your Boss is a Yakuza ? Threatening him to expose him if he doesn't leave the company!

It isn't bravery, it's stupidity. ^^'

And she even post evidence of her own nastiness on Social Media ? Oo

I mean isn't that obvious ? :P

She is a spoiled brat thhat just discovered that her love interest isn't interested at ALL & she always enjoyed bully peoples BUT I don't mind that if she get whipped by FL afterward. :D

I mean, yes it's bothersome but it's still way better than any drama release outside China. Do you prefer 1ep/week ? :P

Can we have hope that the "demon realm" will actually be the good guys ? Because so far the "good guys" are all trash and manipulative bastard. I mean yes, they want to kill ML but it seems fair game as they are locked behind this purple wall because of his blood line. We will see but I prefer when thing aren't just black & white. ^^

A vertical format drama also exist. I never read the novel or the anime version but I can say for a vertical drama, it was really good so I'm glad to learn they will make a full length drama!

Cute story but it wasn't what I expected with a title like "The Killer Next Door". I expected it would be more similar to "Killer Crush" - a BL webtoon about a hitman & movie star love story (very funny btw, I highly recommend it!) - but Nam Yun Je being a hitman/serial killer is mostly irrelevant for most of the plot but even more to his character.

Tbh, he isn't anything we would expect from a serial killer. Even when they are represent as the boy next door, they have some sort of duality. But here, he really just a sweet guy. Even more, nobody flinch when they talk about it like it's the most mundane thing in the world. :P

That being said, it's still a cute story but don't expect much from the killer part. The format didn't bother me as I'm already familiar with it. Overall 7.5/10

The hug felt more out of place than the search tbh. But it's a romance drama more than a realistic & faithful representation of war & soldiers so I don't know why it bother peoples. I mean if they really take that stance, MANY thing is wrong in this drama and they shouldn't bother watching it in the first place. :o

Ngl, I laugh so hard when I saw this scene. :P

I guess they wanted a epic vibe but it feel a bit flat just him alone on his wall.

But then the leads taking time to hug in a war zone was even more ridiculous so I didn't care anymore. Still I loved this episode but sometime they really make odd choice.

Agree with you. Sure nepotism is real but they don't throw their heir at the very top right away. Shareholders will never allow that especially if it's a woman. Sexism is even more real. :P

From what I understood, those final scene were filmed first and early Kiss & NC scenes were filmed later. Probably why they seems more awkward.

As for the top/bottom thing: Strict top (or bottom) exist. I agree it's common for gay men
to be somewhat verse (they still have their preference) but more importantly, it's a BL. In a vast majority of them, authors don't like verse couple as they love the top/bottom dynamic as it's more close to the heteronormativity.

To begin with the whole "straight guy becoming gay for you" fantasy isn't real. WSW was either bi or gay in deny. But again, it's the author choice, don't blame lifeless characters. :P

Yes I always mix them up (Wuxia & Xianxia) so I checked before on this page but the genre is tagged as Wuxia. Probably a mistake (or the genre Xianxia doesn't exist here so they use Wuxia by default).

Anyway it was just a guess as it's a very common troop in Xianxia. That being said, a spoiler warning would have been appreciated. ^^"

I mean cultivation & immortal story, I always got them wrong so I checked this page and the genre is tagged as Wuxia. But yeah, it's a Xianxia. As for FL being tortured and spit blood in Xianxia we have many! Like the "recent" Feud - Lament of the River Immortal. Tbh, in this one, both are tortured and have spit enough blood to fill a Blood bank. :P

Yeah I always got them wrong so I checked before on this page and it's tagged as Wuxia. What I mean was cultivation & "immortal" story. :)

I always like Wuxia Drama Leads & their own love language: The typical "I will kill you" is so romantic in the early stage of their relationship. :P

Based on the first few episode, I think he will fell first (he kind of already did) BUT with all the foreshadowing that the FL value her life more then anything it's a fair guess to think she will sacrifice somehow her life for him (but he will also probably do the same). So for who fell harder, in Wuxia Drama it's hard to tell as they are literally willing to die for each other. :P
