X Holding is in partnership with SWL company. They operate in two different "countries" as such X Holding is also competing against SSY company. Now X Holding was reformed by HY and rebranded as XHoldings. Before it was a nest of drug dealers. This is why HY got so crazy with his subordinates
This production is well above of any BL that the Asian countries have produced. The quality of everything is on another level. Actually, it is more a LGBTQ+ series than a BL. It has content and depth. Apo and Mile became an iconic CP in his first series, but more mature with more insight their performances are superior too. Apo has always being a consistent good actor, but Miles was behind in acting skills. In this series, he is shining really. The role is written for him. The second CP Colonel/journalist are riveting, so fricking sexy I am so looking forward to how they are going to develop this storyline because it is very complex. On another note, I am glad Apo/Mile have put behind all the drama and fan wars around their personal lives and gave us this production. It was embarrassing to witness how those obsessed fans were treating Apo and Mile. They have a professional relationship and chemistry to burn the screen. As an audience, this is what I want to see and this is the only aspect I am interested in knowing. The rest is their private life and nobody should have an opinion about it!
I want Eliot to play with Tian Xuning please XD if Tian played Sheng like he playes Chi Cheng in Revenged Love…
I have a different fantasy, I want Tian Xunin in a BL with Zan Xuang as CP (he is the other tall man in the series) There was a BTS in which they were flirting with each other and they look fab together. China is the place that have produced bromances and international uncesored BLs with two equally beautiful strong men. I like that equality very much. Japan still fall into the scheme Tall/Short maybe there are exceptions now, but I cannot think of any at the moment.
For those who are confused: If they are following the novel, HY did not consummate with SSY in episode 7 as this is exact copy of Chapter 28 in the novel. This won't happen until Chapter 36 and I am not sure if they include this event in the live series. Maybe they will just jump to the "marking" that we see in the trailer and this happens later on in the novel.
I recently re read these chapters in the novel and so far I understand he did not "consumate" with him…
He did not rape him in this ep.. this is what I am saying he did not "consummate" the act. The rape is later on I am afraid, but as this is the world of predators it did not stop Mr Sheng for falling for his Enigma partner.
I read somewhere that the author of this drama is in a relationship with her twin sister. Is that true?
I wouldn't believe it even if I read myself! It such preposterous gossip. If they aren't blood sister they could be in a happy lesbian relationship but they said they are twins!?
Hua Yong, for the novel readers here, did he just take advantage of Sheng Shou You and this is where he is impregnated…
I recently re read these chapters in the novel and so far I understand he did not "consumate" with him this time. The scene in ep 7 is Chapter 28. The first time that he completed the deed was was when he raped him in a hotel when SSY was drunk (Chapter 36). It is the second time when he marked him to save him from poisoning that he got pregnant. The marking make possible for an Alpha to conceive.
How china allowed this drama to be released? Weren't they against LGBTQ dramas? Did they change the rules?
On the contrary, they have tightened the rules and now bromances inspired by BL literature are also forbidden. It is not released in China. Initially it was broadcasted in Chinese platforms for international audience but even these quit broadcasting. if Chinese fans are watching is through a foreign VPN via the international platforms left (Gagaoola, Viki etc)
Ep 7 - I really enjoy watching this series. It is a guilty pleasure because I see everything that is wrong with the production, but in whatever package it comes I love Elliott performance and his character Enigma, his bickering with SWL and his crazy love for SSY. Elliot and Kipuka, put their whole heart into their performance. They are so giving to each other inside and outside set ,and they have an amazing screen chemistry, so everything they do as a CP is riveting. Watching the kiss of the BTS does not surprise me, despite that it is not shown in the actual episode, we know this is what they were doing. Finally a lovely scene between SWL and GT, very touching. Best performance by Jiang Heng in the whole 7 episodes. I wish for him being cast in romantic dramas because he looks the best expressing himself like this. LPE always delivers. And here is when it comes the negative, the dubbing is sub standard but the dubbing of SWL and GT is the worst in this scene. I am glad they put more lively extras in the club because previous scenes placing two robotic people there was pathetic. thankfully they remember to include women! (they could have given them better clothing though). They finally let the "girlfriend" say something, she is an impressive lady so it was good to see her acting. The hairdo they inflict to the Alphas is atrocious. They also should sack the make up artist because the actors eyelines and the ghostly faces are not good. And the worst of the worst goes to: the camera work, what on earth they were thinking of in the office scene filmed behind something with a line in the middle and there is more but I better stop!!!!
