Can someone tell me what this series is like? Is it good? The trailer looks really interesting, and now I’m…
You have to have some patience. This is Not a stereotypical BL storyline and there’s a lot of details to pay attention to. Not a light watch, but definitely is worth it at the end I would say
Can't believe this is happening to me but I'll have to drop now, I can't last any longer with this, it's so draggy!…
It was a slow burn / build up on the ML romance side for sure. May I ask how far you went before dropping? I felt like ep 7 onwards was the most tender, softest and touching connection build I’ve seen in recent years. I am rewatching those episodes right now.
Started watching 7 ongoing BL’s (amateur move …idk what happened guys I was trying to fill a void from Payback being over *cries*) … anyway this and Duty First, Kiss later are the only 2 that’s getting me through the days. So far this has been so fun to watch - fresh story like payback and such good acting by Save, Auau and James! The waiting each week is awful … should I read the novel? Worth it?
I was genuinely confused while they were getting it on because my brain was like wait .. umm .. I was so sure cuz Ken has intense top energy and James power bottom!
This is such an amazing story and stellar cast! I love all of the characters, the acting and the storyline. The only thing I will gripe about (and it’s a me thing), I think Love in the Clouds still has me in chokeholds and keep getting flashback of Ji Bo Zai so getting though this lot slower than my usual pace of binging 😫😢 PS: omg guys - was it just me who took forever to recognize it’s the same actor who plays the busty muscly hunk scholar in The Prisoner of Beauty is Xie Huai here?! talk about range!
People don’t understand how much it costs to produce a series without using any AI. For me, AI is inevitable…
I understand what you’re trying to convey; however, I’d invite you to also see this from another perspective if you can. There are many uses of AI that don’t take away from acting jobs - it can be used to fix audio/visual issues, produce some of the stunts that are too dangerous for humans, or enhance sci-fi/fantasy-style shows. But using AI (and very badly at that) to narrate entire backstories cheapens the quality of the entire production and takes acting jobs away from many supporting actors. The industry is already suffering from vertical dramas and now AI-generated vertical short dramas, to the point where we’ve seen actors leaving the industry altogether to make livable wages. I pay for 4 streaming services (Netflix, Gaga, Viki and IQIYI) so I don’t want to contribute to productions that want to invest the least and profit the most by any means. There are production companies like Strongberry that do incredible work - they release fully on YouTube and still manage to produce great content. It may seem like negativity, but strong discourse is one of the only ways to limit the rampant use of AI in artistic mediums. If people stop complaining or lowering their ratings of shows with prevalent AI usage, there will be no limit to how far the drive for profit will take these productions.
Also, let’s not ignore the cost of using AI at a large scale. It may not show up in the production budget, but the broader environmental cost is immense - especially given the sheer volume of content being produced across the large Asian and North American entertainment industries
