I took it to be one of many disorders of sex development that exist. The person can be described as 'intersex'.…
oooo... that is a good one also. It always confused me why the parents would treat Amber as female, so the 5-alpha-reductase-deficiency would probably make more sense :D
Is Amber transgender or a hermaphrodite? I was a little confused.
I took it to be one of many disorders of sex development that exist. The person can be described as 'intersex'. They didn't explain which one, because the story of the person is more important here than the details. If I were to guess, I think it would most likely be Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS).
P.S. Humans can not be hermaphrodites like flowering trees (producing both male and female gametes). Please use the word 'intersex' instead. The h word was used in the past by ignorant humans to describe intersex people (people with disorders of sex development) and is considered derogatory and offensive now, so please be courteous <3
Worth a watch if you bored and don't want to be too serious. The first ep was hard to get through, but it grows on you. It is a little dated (editing/sound/style), over-the-top characters and stories, cheesy at times...feels like a crazy manga come to life :D You get whiplash from the sudden serious/dark moments to the silly moments. I did laugh at a lot of the highjinks. It is clearly censored BL. Deadpool was even on the tv in one of the eps :D After finding out the sister was really a brother (in source material) it kind of makes a lot more sense...and I gotta give way more credit to the actress who played that daring role. For censorship....they had to definitely make one of them female; no way around that! :D For the budget they had, it was decent and you can feel that the director and crew....they went full into trying to make it work. Idk....I prolly would have loved this more if I watched it back when it first aired :D
Oh? Off and Gun in something darker with hopefully a good story and playing more mature/older characters.....?. You have my attention. Gun I bet would be great in angsty/emotional role where he can push himself as an actor, and having Off play a solid responsible, intelligent character is a great idea. Tentatively optimistic....
A good rewatch. It has an underlying story about inequality in society and injustice......so I feel that it MORE than just a generic BL. It has soul. It has heart. it has something to say about the problems in our society and ways in which we can change it for the better.....
so.. did pei su study at the boarding school? (bc he only came home on weekends)and how do you think... did pei…
Yeah...that was weird to me also. I assume in the series that they wanted to have LWZ realize sooner (than book) that PS was tortured by his father. Or they wanted to make it very clear to audience that PS was forced to kill. So that visual in series is as if his dad filmed those scenes on purpose for whatever reason (a record of his experiments?). I could be wrong, but I assumed in series that the writers wanted LWZ to see that. But you are right....it could be in LWZ mind....since the only thing LWZ saw in past of young PS was him burying a dead bird. At the time, LWZ thought PS had killed it (but it was really his apath father). What do you think?
In the book, LWZ didn't see that. He didn't learn the details of that until toward the end of the book. In book, LWZ at this moment only realized that PS believed himself to be an apath and was torturing himself to be fearful/disgusted of blood so that he wouldn't act upon an apath's desires (like his freakin apath father). LWZ realized that PS was super serious about NOT being an apath....and it hit him about how hard it must be for someone to change/fight against their upbringing/genetics. So it gives LWZ sympathy for PS who seems to be trying to be a good person.

In the book, he had his own apartment that he stayed at. Rich family; go figure. His dad expected him to be independent and treated him as if he was an adult, not a kid. I imagine that his dad probably would have looked down on him acting like a kid. In the book, we get some brief flashbacks of his dad yelling at him for 'running around' when he was little.....comparing him to a dog.. "What are you, a dog? Only little dogs run around". It was made clear he should not do that since he is 'above others' and 'superior' to non-apath humans. If you combine it all, it makes it clear that poor Pei Su could have been a normal kid if his dad didn't force/train/torture him into being an apath like himself...his childhood was isolated and lonely and pretty dark/gloomy. Creepily....it is as if he is his father's experiment....and Pei Su had the strong feeling that a failed experiment would be discarded, so he was careful to be EXACTLY what his dad wanted/expected. It gave me the same vibe as a father who beats his kid.... the kid always anxious/hyper-aware when his dad was around....except Pei Su's father used a masters class in psychological torture. And unlike normal kids, Pei Su had to quickly learn to HIDE/depress his emotional responses....which is insane. T-R-A-U-M-A.
I heard from someone, he was the person that was supposed to play Gong Jun's role originally. He apparently turned…
Oh! That would make sense also. He could still do a smaller role and be a part of the project. He's a good actor.... he prolly could have done the role well.
I heard from someone, he was the person that was supposed to play Gong Jun's role originally. He apparently turned…
I heard that too, but it seemed like (from my perspective over the years) most of the early rumors was that he turned it down because he felt he wasn't the best fit for that role....he liked the Scorpion King roll better (he's originally a voice actor, slowly getting into acting, so he wanted smaller roles first). He said this in multiple interviews when they asked him about it. But who knows......
i have a question for those who have read the novel and watched the drama... in your opinion in what way is pei…
It may just be a censorship thing for drama....but Fei Du in novel felt a little more flirty/assertive to me. Pei Su in drama feels a little softer and a little more fragile for some reason. It isn't a huge difference, it may just be my interpretation. I rather love the drama Pei Su....the actor will bring their own vibe/flavor to a character/roll.
