Yeah he’s also kinda pushing the cutesy thing a bit too much for me. I like my cute guys but sometimes it seems they forget they are guys? Like they’re overtly feminine to the point it’s more like a stereotypical “bottom” caricature. In the beginning I found him a bit annoying but he became more endearing as he grew more confident.

Oh and I didn’t even realize he stopped wearing the mask halfway through!

Oh nice! I actually prefer when adaptations prioritize the story and romance over making basically a porno. A perfect example is The Proper Way to Write Love. The manga was just a few smut chapters with a shallow plot but the drama adaptation became one of my favorites. Although I probably would have liked the characterization of Sui in the manga because he’s too ditzy for me in the drama. Maybe he’ll grow into that in the next half of the series?

That’s actually a good interpretation. I think that’ll be the ending for me because most of it didn’t make sense.

Yo! I did not catch that when I read the synopsis. I had already watched the first episode and my brain just assumed that the undercover was part of Nie Chuan description… that’s actually pretty crazy they had that in the synopsis when it’s supposed to be a big reveal.

Lin Yan dying would’ve saved the ending for me but I’m glad they got a happy ending. I enjoyed this series but man those last two episodes were a chore to get through. Which is disappointing because I really liked it so far but I can only take so many contrived twists.

Yeah there’s questionable writing in the last two episodes and like some vital points that were never explained. Like how did he survive the explosion and I didn’t quite understand the whole “real name” reveal or the “I’ve been undercover the whole time too!” Also, how did the uncle figure out their plan? I understand that he’s supposed to be ruthless and cunning but that was never really setup. A lot of it wasn’t setup and it felt like twists for the sake of twists. I hope we see the main leads again in a series with better writing because they were really good.

I think the last time I seen there wasn’t a preview for the next episode in a BL it was a heavy one… Anyone read the manga?

Really good up until the last episodes. Those two felt the most contrived but overall a great series. Happy ending but I wish they didn’t waste so much time with the flashbacks. Maybe if they used the screentime to refine the plot then it would be a 10/10.

Yeah that was pretty unbelievable but drawing a portrait is not the same as putting a puzzle together. You can draw from memory and feeling but you can’t do the same with scrambled puzzles pieces. It is kinda ridiculous he did it so perfectly but it is plausible.

Also, the scenes from his pov I think are just his imagination and he’s not actually seeing Song Yi.

天天(Day Day) is Tian Tian or literally Everyday. It’s common for Chinese to repeat a character in people’s name as an affectionate nickname. I didn’t find anything about it being his stage name but he as appeared on a talk show called 天天向上 (Day Day Up) so it might be a mistake by the moderators. It has nothing to do with yall lmao.

Short and Sweet. Some drama sprinkled in but overall a lighthearted and fun romance. The chemistry between the leads was surprisingly amazing!

Keeps getting better and better! I didnt think I would like Suzuki because of his archetype but he is so funny and surprisingly steadfast. His characterization is very good.

I can’t wait for Serizawa’s pov!

Yeah I think I’ll pass. Believe me I enjoy a misunderstanding plotline but having intentional misunderstandings for the sake of the plot and to the detriment of making your characters contradictory is not enjoyable for me. Compound that with having a punching bag of a protagonist… I can only watch so much of that let alone read a novel. Also, I have the full picture from spoilers and it’s definitely not compelling enough for me to continue.

Nope. Not at all a misunderstanding which is pretty ironic because there’s nothing but misunderstanding tropes in this series. It’s a pretty predictable plot and from spoiler comments not compelling enough for me. I’ll definitely watch it after airing because the acting is pretty good but unfortunately the writing is lacking.

Its my opinion on the relationship being depicted so far and it’s not for me. Don’t take it personally because its a work of fiction and I can criticize it. Fortunately the spoiler comments proved that it’s a really predictable story and not compelling enough for me. More power to the people who enjoy it ❤️

Yeah I can read the description and follow the story. It’s pretty predictable and judging from spoiler comments the reasoning behind it all isn’t compelling enough for me to continue. I’ll probably check it out once it finishes airing but it’s definitely an “On Hold” for me. Look on the bright side it’s up from a dropped!

That is what’s so confusing about this series is that the characters are so contradictory in motives and action. I understand trying to keep the “intrigue” with a cold and distant character but doing so to the detriment of the character is just poor writing. Or misunderstandings for the sake of misunderstandings.

Honestly she might be my favorite character since she acts like a rational person in a world of irrational people. Shen Mo… please stop being a punching bag 🙏🏽I’m honestly surprised Shen is holding back with Zhou Yang and trying to move on. The only unpredictable part of the series.

Bro they had the sister do a small trauma dump in the latest episode because Mr. Ji “needs pampering” and Shen Mo ate it up.

Episode four solidified my concerns for this series and I’m disappointed. Shen Mo’s inner dialogue is a much better character than Shen Mo himself! I can’t believe the extremely small acts of kindness with one toxic overreaction won Shen Mo over yet he still thinks he’s just one of Mr Ji’s many lovers. Judging the reaction from the celebrity it’s obvious Mr Ji was leading him on or purposefully not making thing clear and for what? To make Shen Mo jealous? Now I bet the celebrity and the younger brother are gonna team up for even more misunderstandings.
