Well, all we can do is huff the copium until April, then we'll find out whether we were right. Personally, I am…
I think that’s the best attitude to have in this case. Once you start caring too much, you’ll become heartbroken and disillusioned. Be happy with what we have so far or move onto something else.
I think people are onto something with the National Congress happening in March. Because of that, no BLs. I remember that in the beginning of 2022, someone said they’re would be no BLs because it was a military year in China. And there were no BLs dramas or donghuas released in 2022 🤷🏾♀️
I’m going to hope that Chinese BLs will rise once more in April. In the meantime, I’m going to read Modu, save my own copy of each episode, and rewatch. April will soon be here…. Right? 🤡
Really enjoying this. The mtl subs are terrible but the drama has aligned very closely with the novel in the ways…
Subs are getting better! I have re-watched episodes 1+2, and they are decent. Someone else said that 3 + 4 are fixed as well. I can understand the situation/scenes now. Some odd word choices here and there, but overall good.
I don't know if this helps anyone, but I'm reading the novel and re-watching the episodes... and they match! Some scenes are changed a little, but I'm understanding a whole lot more by reading Book 1. A lot of the dialogue is the same! Book 1 goes up until episode 6.
Shoutout to Luo WenZhou/Luo Wei Zhao! I don't think he's getting enough love, and he's such a great character.
That's a subjective question, so it will depend on the person. For me, from the first two episodes... I would say 5/10. I felt that chemistry during their first meeting, but I'm a little confused with the flashbacks and the history between them.
Edit: Saw episodes 3 and 4. Raising it to 7/10! I think if Pei Su had been a girl, the slow burn romance would be very clear to people - the bickering, the glances, Officer Luo's soft smile in his direction, the emotional burden between them... it's all very good!
For people who haven't read the novel/or can't access it (myself) - can someone enlighten me of who Fei Du is…
As far as I understand, Fei Du/Pei Su is a deeply tormented and complex character. He is a bisexual, playboy heir to successful corporation. He flirts with men/women and enjoys crazy parties where they do things like car race and other questionable activities. But deep inside, he's a young man who's been traumatized by his father and doesn't know how to accept love and love others. In the novel, he's been psychologically conditioned by his ruthless dad, but in the tv show, it's unclear how they'll use this with the criminal gene angle they're using. I hope this helps.
The first EP gave me a headache. What is this all about?
I heard from someone who read the book that the beginning can be confusing. The first case is part of a larger plot, but it’s hard to see that now. The subs don’t make it easier.
It’s about crime solving and recovering from past trauma. The romance is slow, seems like, but very tender. Hard to know how much romance well actually get
