Lily of the valley

Its not a happy ending nor a sad ending....The whole series was like a foundation of season 2.

Honestly it's almost non existent.

This was a master piece... everything about it was perfect,the acting,the costume even the OST.This is my absolute favorite Cdrama.

Really enjoyed this drama.... started crying from episode 35.

It really does take time to peak... nevertheless I completed it.

Thank you...I watched it after seeing the writer is the same.I am interested in a series/drama.

Would someone kindly recommend similar series like this one.

Came back to check if you enjoyed it?

Honestly,it was more satisfying watching the uncle getting disrobed than him taking the poison.

I looooooooved this drama.....too much sweetness from every character.This drama had me giggling, smiling,feet kicking in the air plus covering my eyes coz it felt like I am intruding into some personal space of the characters.It was a light romance that ticked all the boxes for a person who is into romance drama without toxic characters.All the characters delivered their parts well.

Worst mistake on my part was watching this drama after watching Lighter and Princess....the FL in this was just not smart when it came to mattersof the heart.Why was she following advice from someone with no stable love life.Had she just done things the way she felt the story line wouldn't haven't dragged that long....I just had to drop it.

Really enjoyed the drama....skipped some scenes but it was alright.

With how some BLs just loose the plot midway,I was hesitant to watch this....but am glad I did.There was nothing cringey about it.It was a well written script and the actors did a good job.

Watching the series now....and i HATE her,please tell me she gets dealt with.

I totally understand your train of thought.... With the recent upsurge of BLs,some companies have taken advantage of that and just produced shitty series.Personally I prefer Japan BL productions(which does not necessarily mean they are all good).I think it's just a shame some good Chinese series get banned due to the tag 'bromance' which leaves you wondering what's the difference between 'friendship' and 'bromance'.

Personally I don't seek out the bromance genre due to the fear of the production inferring there maybe more to it than just the friendship.Hence when it comes to male leads I seek friendship.
If one is watching BLs just for the 'steamy' NC scenes and kissing scenes,then their life as BL fan will be short lived.

My reason for suggesting Taiwan was because of the language and culture nuance that won't be misrepresented due to translations.I do hope production houses secure funding to produce quality live adaptations of the Chinese BL novels.I quite enjoyed Oh no,here comes trouble from Taiwan.

My rule of thumb when it comes to the BL genre is to avoid the Chinese ones cause they're really not BL...they lean towards bromance.With that in mind,I hate how I was sucked into watching The Spirealm just because it was trending due to its sensorship,I was curious to see why it was banned,did the actors do more than their predecessors in the 'BL' adaptations? Sadly nothing really warranted it being banned,it was just watered down version of the novel.It fell more into the category of gaming,fantasy and a little bit of horror.I am saddened for those who enjoy such genres but won't get to watch this show because it has a good storyline,good cinematography and the little bit of CGI wasn't bad.The downside is that you'll have to watch butchered subtitles or no subs at all,but with how the storylines unfold you get to know what is happening.All the actors did a good job,hope we get to see their talents in other productions.
I am curious though,would someone care to explain to me why can't Taiwan production companies buy rights from the authors of Chinese BL novels and produce and sell the movies or series of the adaptations?

I was scared to watch the series cause of how everybody kept on saying it's a heavy one and a real tear jerker...I guess due to my anticipated fear it wasn't as heavy as I expected.Their love story was great,the palace politics also well delivered but not well wrapped,the King dies without knowing the prince and princess never betrayed him and the concubine gets away with the malicious rumors and the killing of the palace maids.It just sad she never got to tell him about her dream and never got to know his real background.

She is plotting to dethrone the King coz she thinks he lied to her and tricked the people in getting the throne.But in actual sense the king is just trying to protect the people he cares about from her to the prince,that's why he distanced himself that time he told her 'A king does not have friends'.....She has already started her moves by involving the prince,I think she wants the prince on the throne but she does not get is that the Kings uncles and mum would kill him.She got into the revenge plan without seeing the big picture which to me represents how she plays badku with the King,she can never win against him because she does not see the big picture.

I normally avoid commenting on a series before it's over,but I just can't hold myself on this... Episode 8 ended on a high note for me that I really can't wait for episode 9.I am soo giddy wondering what the king would make of the gender reveal coz now he is sure he ain't interested in men,also when he discovers her identity.I am in love with the OST that ends the episode...the week should just come to an end fast.

The producers couldn't care less about the cast's continuity...as long as the character was represented the show must go on.All in all,I am unsure what the goal of the series was to be.Since the show is about Takumi who according to me didn't grow/develop much.Apart from making friends and overcoming his people phobia cause of Gii,his character was still very weak by the 5th instalment.He relies too much on Gii,he is unable to survive without him.Which is actually abit sad since Gi would survive without him despite loving him.Gi had friends,his leadership role in school and the business to take over after to school.
Watching it now the hairstyles are just wild.
