Gao Tu just pissing me tf off in this show. Like leave thst clown Shen Wenlang already. Grow some but am here…
I know, right. He's pathetic. If he actually said "I quit and also, I'm an Omega". I bet dude would be the one to chase him to get him back. But Gao Tu is the type to kick himself when he's down and allow others to do the same.
His momma really did a number on him, forcing him to be ashamed of himself as a kid. He'd rather risk death than grow a spine.
Gao Tu would rather kill himself with inhibitor and pain killer drugs than have a spine and some self-respect. His momma and object of his obsession really did a number on him. He's beyond pathetic.
And Hua Yong is truly an enigma because I know he's a master manipulator and he wants what he wants, but just how dark is his true personality?
noble idiocy is so ridiculous ðŸ˜i hate those tropes
I have to look at my list and get back to you. But it dedicated about 10 long EPS to that nonsense and pissed me off. I had fast forward through it. Because not only did her side of the story slow down and become boring, but it halted the adventure of the story. I still say it is one worth watching. Please do, but don't feel bad if you decide you need to skip those later episodes to get back to the meat of the tale.

Yes! Like it is never a good idea. Every time I see it done, it makes me dislike the character, because not only does it show their cowardice, but their lack of faith in the other person to be able to handle the situation.
They would rather deny themselves and their lover happiness and a promising future, than just be honest and agree to deal with whatever happens next.
One of the worst instances of this was in a series where.... Spoiler....
A woman, whose man was searching for her after she was kidnapped, he was ready to start a war for her and he showed up, but she ran away because she thought it was the better idea. That once she was out of his life, he would be happy and move on.
And on top of that, she was pregnant and they were married. So, now you're going to deny him his chance to experience his first child being born too!!!?
He hunted her ass down in desperation looking for her to save her.
And I'm thinking any man willing to bring an army to rescue you isn't a man who going to see that you're running from him because "it's for the best" as an option. He isn't just going to read your little note and say "oh, well, if it's for the best, I might as well move on with my life."
I believe it was a deliberate choice to pay homage to the manhua "Chang Ge Xing" it was adapted from &…
Joy of Life had me mad addicted. I watched the first 2 seasons and was bummed the third wasn't out yet. But it's coming soon this year which is great news. Joy of Life is unique in the sense that it mixed Martial arts, romance, intrigue, politics, sci-fi, historical and fantasy all in one. And the main character is charming as well as smart but not without his flaws. It goes hard, I will say.
I believe it was a deliberate choice to pay homage to the manhua "Chang Ge Xing" it was adapted from &…
Oh yeah, I've seen them both. They were good. So far, my fav is The Double, Joy of Life, Rebel Princess and Love Like the Galaxy. Oh, I like Nirvana and Fire, too. That's for historical Cdramas.
With this series, it was a bit of a let down for me. I would have rated this higher, but I didn't like feeling robbed whenever an action scene showed up. This series was 49 episodes, and 40 of them were about people looking for a person, place, or thing. As soon as they find one person, now they need 6-20 episodes to find another.
I did like that it took a different approach to the usurping of the throne where the guy who stole it was the better choice. And she had to learn the lesson her mother taught her about not hating people. I liked the lessons that she learned and the journey she took, but this series could have been 24 episodes to tell the same story. A Kdrama could do it in 16.
I believe it was a deliberate choice to pay homage to the manhua "Chang Ge Xing" it was adapted from &…
Yeah, I agree. That staged fight should have been shown so we could see how it was done. I mean, I already accept that they try to play off 100 soldiers for thousands for these sparse fight scenes. I get the budget for actually having 1000s of extras is too much. But if the scenes are excited and well choreographed, I'm happy. This series, I think only one action fight scene was halfway filmed and that was the one where the FL wanted revenge against the Bear clan for killed her friend.
What were the other two you mentioned? Not sure about the abbreviations.

I get that, but as a viewer, I felt robbed. I have to sit through so many talking scenes and when the action is about to kick off, I want to be rewarded with some cool fight scenes. It happens so much that I am just finding it annoying to where I fast forward past the still animated photos. The artwork is nice, but just not what I'm here for.
I'm going to be honest, I didn't start watching this one for the plot, what little there is. Most of these slice of Life shows don't need to be more than 4 episodes long. I don't care about your run-of-the-mill office job. I don't care about your board meetings and if you got the report in on time. So, I need something extra. Mainly a mystery plot or thriller and plenty of action.
This series wasn't like that, no intrigue, or mystery to solve and fight scenes from spies, agents, or assassins. Just two men having hot sex. Still didn't need to be 12 eps long. Not enough story for all of that.
You know, if she hadn't been so damn nosy in ep. 25, she wouldn't have been caught in that predicament and dude wouldn't have felt compelled to do what he did.
Also, as soon as those betroth gifts showed up, I would have gotten married to my childhood sweetheart, because Commander Li has a wild obsession and a history of getting the emperor's permission.
I hate when characters make these dumb ass choices claiming it's for "the best" and they hope the other person can find "joy and happiness" without them.
Like, that person loves you more than anything. Do you honestly think they'll just move on and forget about you?
In this case, she'd rather break his heart, make him jealous, confused, and possibly stuck having to be obligated to marry a woman he doesn't want all because she doesn't want him to know what she suspects is the truth about his parents. And she humiliated him publicly.
Like really, broad, you're doing more harm to him than that will.
Okay, I'm on like, ep. 37 I think. Anyway, If Yan had listened to those hints instead of obsessing about taking the FL away from the ML he could avoided a lot of drama.
If he had listened to his people when they FIRST tried to get him out of the city, he would have avoided drama. But instead, he was obsessed with the FL.
If he had taken the opportunity to leave earlier and get his family out of the city like he was trying to get the FL and her sisters, they'd be alive.
His obsession with the FL, a woman, who at that time, barely tolerated him, is what got him caught up.
Let's get to her. She claimed she had to go back for her sisters. She hasn't thought about them sense. Three years have gone by and she hasn't even looked for them. They don't even appear on screen anymore. Did she forget they were supposed to exist?
Male lead could have avoided the backlash had he'd not been so tighlipoed about the plot. I know he's a spy and the Keeper of Secrets, but as a friend, he should have at least said "you need to get your ass back home before it's too late. I can't go into details, but you need to trust me and leave now." Then look at him like "for real".
Had he'd done that, the 2ML couldn't really use it against him. Cause he could have said. "I TOLD your ass to leave long before this happened and you refused."
They already both admitted their feelings so neither. The real question is would he live or survive to see the…
Yeah, I fined this ep and 18 and was so happy to FINALLY see them be honest and loving. Just in time to stress me out. I'm waiting for a few more EPS to air.
I'm on 17 and Like all CDrama damn near, someone will have to be banging down Death's door before the other person stops being stubborn and admit they love the other person and are now willing to go through hell and high water for them.
Usually, it's the woman being stubborn and the man has to nearly die for her at break down. But this time, I'm thinking it's the man who will either be on the brink of death before he realizes doesn't want to lose her. Either that, or she risks her life to save him and he holds her in his arms and cries as he begs her to live so they can love each other finally. Who knows? I guess I'll find out. Hopefully in this ep.
So far, 3 EPS in, and I'm loving this. These are the kinds of plots I'm looking for in BL. Stuff like KinnPorshe and History:Trapped and Revenged Love .
