I'm only on episode 2, but I'm already loving the chemistry between the leads, but according to the comments here, it looks like the side couples are the ones to watch. Really looking forward to this one!

Ok, aside from the cringy high five that will live on in BL infamy, episode 13 gave me what the only thing I was hoping for from it: more Man//Type screen time.

LMFAO

I get it. I live in Beijing and this type of portrayal is par for the course for dramas in China. I get the history and the Japanese were brutal, but their characters in this show didn’t seem multidimensional enough, even if they are villains. That’s my point. Let them be evil, fine, but there could have been another part to them, but I realize how much that is to ask, which is why I still accept this show to be as amazing as I think it is.

I can handle tragedy if it fits the story well.

I thought this drama very much was a masterpiece. I'm curious to know where exactly you think it failed to the point that it doesn't deserve the current score it has. Like do you give it around a 5? If so, why? I'm genuinely curious.

The only fault, if it's even really a fault, is the over-dramatization of the villainy Japanese. Xiao Lai's death would have been slightly more believable if, after having been raped by so many Japanese soldiers, she slipped into a deep depression, then committed suicide rather than the soldiers just raping then murdering her.

This drama is a masterpiece. Plain and simple. Don't miss it.

The consent was letting him do it. I think that was a pretty clear example of saying one thing, but meaning another, especially when we consider how physically aggressive Type is in general. He also makes a reference to the BJ later on in the show with a neutral attitude, so I'm convinced of that incident being rape at all.

That wasn't entirely without consent...at all. lol What were you watching? Where you waiting for him to say "Type, can I give you a blowjob?" LOL wth

I feel like I'm really getting to know these characters. I feel like all of them are friends, colleagues, crushes, etc. Er Ye is so smooth and cool. Shang Lao Ban is crazy and impulsive, Er Nai Nai is shrewd and in control (not unlike myself). The supportive Shui Yin Luo group is so loving, especially Xiao Zhou Zi. I'm on ep. 42 and I REALLY, REALLY don't wanna let this drama end. :(

Right?! When are we gonna that girl bestie of one of the male leads who's just like "Go, best friend! That's my best friend!" and support the relationship 100%? Why are they bent on making girls conflicts?

About Type, I think that guy was actually a senior employee at his job. If he refused to go in the car with him that night, maybe it would cause problems for him at work later. Also, Type isn't 100% about Man just yet. He's getting there, but right now, I'd say Type is thinking 60% "This guy is really annoying." and 40% "This guy has potential."

My favorite is when they say, the rating is set for "ages 13 and up" while ignoring the flagrant alcohol abuse and sexual innuendos. A bouquet of condoms. A BOQUET OF CONDOMS. Which 13 -year-old was that joke meant for exactly? lol

Among the comments criticizing this show, the thing that's being criticized the LEAST is the amount of skinship. lol

Bored? Read this comment section. It's extremely entertaining.

I think the bashing has gotten more open and ruthless because there's only more or less two hours of the show left to see. For those who don't like it, if it hasn't redeemed itself by episode 11 out of 13, there's not point holding back, I guess. lol.

I saw all the hype and just decided to wait until now to binge all the episodes up til 11, but even if I had been watching every week, I don't think I'd be anticipating too much and if I did, I'd be let down. Win is good enough at acting for me to stay in it and, as creepy as it is, I like the Man-Type interaction.

"OK" for me doesn't mean good or even kind of good. It means like 5/10, which isn't very good at all. lol I didn't expect greatness from this. I went in without expectations. To be frank, this show's boring.

Win is stronger than Bright even though he has less experience imo, but together, I just don't see the wow factor. It's OK, but that's about it for me.
