Yeah, Pete is Ae's first love... Ae has never been interested in anyone before. And its not just some silly crush…
Yeah.. And there is a saying that first love is the most intense one because everything is so new. Not that second, third, fourth, fifth and so on love is less deep than first one... just that by then he/she is more experienced and mature.
dont get wrong i love ae, but he seemed real toxic when he got jealous over pete talking to tin. like i know their…
Yeah, Pete is Ae's first love... Ae has never been interested in anyone before. And its not just some silly crush Ae has for Pete, what Ae has for Pete is real love. So it makes him very easily jealous .. because well, from not having interest in anyone to BAM! falling madly in love with someone all of sudden. Ae is so new to this / inexperienced, so he can't control his jealousy, Also Ae is very young , so he's not fully matured yet. but I hope he will chill down a bit later on lol
Also, Ae maybe feels very insecure/inferior to Tin, cuz Tin is tall, handsome and rich - just like Pete. So Ae maybe thought they look so perfect together and that Pete might wanna rather be with someone of same social status - someone rich - just like him. I dunno.
I love they don't try to show in your face as clearly as possible who is seme and who is uke. If this would be a typical BL, then Ae (seme) would be the one who is rich, handsome and tall, while Pete (uke) would be the one who is poor/middle class, average looking and short. xD Also Ae would be the more experienced one but he is not.. Pete is (Pete knew about his own sexuality perference before meeting Ae,he has been in love and been kissed before meeting Ae, while Ae never been in love nor been kissed, he probably never even thought about his own sexuality perference.. so not ur typical seme-uke couple).. Not saying this drama has no stereotypes at all, but this drama is a breath of fresh air compared to many other BL dramas IMO. I doubt Ae would ever sexually assault/force himself on Pete , which is a great thing. And Pete, while innocent and all, has shown that he still has sexual desires and he doesn't try to avoid physical contact nor tries to pretend to be disgusted like "don't touch me", which is also good IMO..
and the fact also that I'm-not-gay-only-for you thing is so refreshing, Pete has been in love with other men before he met Ae, and Ae has NEVER been in love until he met Pete, so I don't buy it when some say that Ae is only gay for Pete, because he never been in love with EITHER of sexes prior to Pete... Anyway, I love this drama sososo much, I hope it will remain good until the very end. <3
I was looking forward to watch this drama due to its interesting plot, the name of the drama and the picture of its 2 main leads with the evolution of apes. I thought the pic and the name of the drama + the plot matched all so well together and was really unique! A modern love story of mature adults with touch of feminism + strong independent intelligent female lead? longtime friends who falls in love with each other? sounds like my cup of tea!
But after reading the comments here I have honestly now lost a bit of interest in watching this. By the sound of it the characters are immature, the male lead is a doormat all the time and the female lead is selfish and only settles for the male lead cuz there is no one else or smth like that... if this is true then this drama is not for me after all.
It sounds to me like only Shen Yue’s voice is dubbed. Her actual voice is deeper and more mature sounding. But…
well that sucks.. just because Shen Yue's voice is not "innocent" doesnt make it right for them do dub her voice... i can just imagine how she must feel like when they tell her "hey you sound too mature so we are gonna dub your voice" :/ (its not even her fault to begin with that she sounds like what she does) ...kinda makes me loose a bit of interest to watch this to be honest.
will start watching soon, hopefully they will not include the disturbing scene where Dao Ming Si sexually assaults/ hits Shan Cai (like in the original MG, I know its also included in the manga ).. Maybe they will not include it since this is a updated, more modern version , and y'know .. time and mindset changes. maybe back in 90s/early 2000s it was more "acceptable" wth sexual assaults? But not anymore.. I think its a lots thanks to MeToo. I read some comments saying that the bullying is less extreme, which I really like. :)
But what i did like about the original MG was that Dao Ming Si was so madly , passionately head over heels in love with Shan Cai... by his facial expressions, body language and actions -- it spoke volumes that he can't live without her. I think out of all versions, he was the one who potrayed a man in love the most well . I also liked that there was some sexual tension between him and Shan Cai, their chemistry was amazing! and the kisses were great too~ I am curious how this version is gonna be like when it comes to Dao Ming Si's love for Shan Cai, how the dynamic / chemistry between him and Shan Cai is going to be like.. If there will be any sexual tension and passionate kisses (I think not, since the actors are younger if I'm not mistaken) Looking so forward to watch this one!!!^ _ ^
I think you're talking about one of Kathlene. E. Woodwiss novels, she was the one who started these bodice rippers/…
Yes. Exactly...kathlene. E woodwiss (the flame and flower, the wolf and the dove) , Christine Manson (stormfire), Rosemary rogers (sweet savage love) etc... Sawan Biang was indeed too horrible , but i heard slap and kiss dramas such as popular kleun cheewit is pretty ’light’ compared to sawan biang... gotta watch it someday, heard many great things about the female lead in that one :)
