It was maybe a 8.75/10 for me . The overall effect of the drama was pretty good , be it the characters , cinematography or plot . ( very few Cdramas are 8.5+ for me) One thing I definitely wanna add is I love how the FMC was written , she is the definition of a cute yet mature lead!!! Knows how to communicate and avoid misunderstanding, also doesn’t hesitate to show affection to ML ❤️ , I would say I have seen very few FMC who take lead like she did .
Also I like that they didn’t completely darken Pei Zhan , the emotions he portrayed in the last eps when he gave up ….. I didn’t have 2nd lead syndrome until that point when he smiled , also small snippets of how he genuinely cared for our ML as a child but his psycho father ruined him for pity jealousy, who hits their 30 yr old son for such reasons ?.? But I never rooted for him and fmc btw , I just wanted to see him break free from his father’s grip .
Well though the plot is kinda ridiculous with all those years apart buttttt the leads chemistry was what I came here for and it delivered, damn I watched those ep 15 , 16 , 17 on repeats 🤭🤫, I liked how the FMC took initiatives to cling to the ML too and she enjoys it , majority of times in dramas it’s always ML initiating things and the fmc isn’t that responsive. The ML was damn hot but I kinda understand the fmc character and how she was written as a pampered princess but she isn’t ideal when necessary and that’s important.
Damn I just completed ep 9 and I was like 🤐😳 , it took a complete 180 turn , how are they gonna give them a happy ending now ?. It’s unthinkable the way Duan is acting like a psycho . I just want shuhe and doctor to live a free life at the end , that would be a happy ending for me , that’s what I cared for from the start . Sorry but I didn’t care about duan much .
Ok I completed it and gosh it was a wild ride in 2nd half , though the ending it painful it’s understandable, shuhe was a gentle soul who even though suffered the worst fate never lost his essence unlike duan , well duan was gonna die anyway at least shuehe chose his ending ,unlike all other times where he was left no choice , to have a peaceful dignified death as a fallen ruler rather than an escapee . Their love was painful and an entire nation suffered and that’s not gonna change . Well atleast they got a wedding and a happy afterlife ?!
It was beyond my expectations , really well done jbl It was melancholic and beautiful portrayed without negatively blaming any side , everyone have their sort of issues . Who is to blame ?. Cheating is ofcourse non negotiable but which among the 4 will you say is the bad person cuz for me there where none but relationships are complicated even for a perfect person right . Maybe running away from confrontation was what lead them to it but breaking up cuz of cheating rather than saying cuz they don’t have intimate relations is kinda fundamentally better in society . The reason was perfectly summarised by that friend of Kaori in just a few lines . Gosh I wanted an epilogue ep 🤧🤧
Actually in terms of Intimacy it may be one of the best bl for me ( mind you not the relationship but just the skin ship ) , like the actors didn’t make it awkward at all compared to other bls where I kind of cringe watching especially the NG scenes. Anyway I wanna ask what the hell is with the characters obsession with pushing others like that , kinda annoying for grown ups to do that . Omegaverse in name only sake , just treat it as a fantasy concept . Well pavel is kinda really good at acting compared to other bl actors who are kinda awkward , and that why the intimacy between the leads was believable and that was the only aspect I kinda enjoyed even though the relationship was kinda toxic .
And no I am not gonna watch s2 , the things I have heard are enough to repel me. Btw waiting for goddess bless you from death to complete , so excited about that one
A 7.5/10 of me . It was definitely a good bl overall with great casts definitely romance was not the best part for me , even though I like the calm personalities of the leads , the awkwardness was depicted but until the end they didn’t feel like they got over the awkwardness especially Khem , there was a loss of sense of familiarity like between couples , but there were definitely some sweet moments especially in ep 8 , the second couple was better in this aspect . I wouldn’t say anything about the NG scenes , I still find it hard to watch them without cringing even after watching so many bls . Namping definitely has a lot of area to improve in acting , he was kinda just a sweet face guy for me sadly . And Master was definitely a danmei inspired character, with his styling 😂😂 Actress playing rhumpeng definitely had the best acting skills .
Can anyone spoil me why Peem is hesitant to help Khem? Only because he promised his grand father?
Actually he is helping him though he says otherwise typical cold exterior soft heart character .but he doesn’t want to get too close to him or give false hope , I think It’s mostly cuz of the curse , he doesn’t want to loose his lover like in their past life and he does that by being stern with him
It’s funny how so many people hated on Liyu during the show, even calling him and Masato “a dozen,” but…
Yeah they both were close so yeah he would want to debut together , he is the youngest it’s understandable. But seriously some people just stuff anyone in the group talent hardly matters to them .
Ok so the lineup was predictable, maybe ziahao was a bit surprising that he even ranked higher than LEO . Actually I would have been still sad no matter what for the remaining ones. Butt I wanted either junmin or dongyuu . Maybe I was rooting for dongyuu more even though I knew the chances were super low because man got a nice voice and Harmonise well with Leo . Btw I saw dongyuu was much higher in Korean ranking rather tha. Global Also junmin is in the same level as sangwon , the ult center . I hope their group does well with leejeong , wonjun and others .
But I am still sad that Leo won and anxin ziahao pair made it but junmin dongyuu pair didn’t 😭😭 . Dongyuu debut in a better group in future , I will wait for your debut . I hope they get kind of a different concept than ZB1 , more on darker side maybe or sexy …
I am so scared. I really hope Kang Woo jin makes it. It would be a huge loss. He has such unique character and…
Actually I LOVE his voice but I don’t think he fit the image of the potential debut team that’s forming right now 🥲🥲 . I would want haneum and woojin to be together , they have similar image and together would feel like heaven .
Jun Min's Rank was 16. It was shown at the end. (Live) - They showed 16th and 17thIf he doesn't get enough votes…
Wasn’t junmin 11th I guess ? In previous elimination. Man junmin ziahao dongyuu have to survive 😭😭😭 they are in my top 8 but they deserve to be at least in finals , their talent is so visible
I watched the original song performances on YouTube and couldn’t help compare the songs to last season’s . Last season original songs were so good many of them were in my playlist .
But this yr ‘s even though good cannot be compared to s1 , for me except the hook part of an each song rest of the parts were kinda so-so .? Maybe best were chains and sugar high in terms of song .
Maybe when I will watch the full ep , listing to the fulll songs a few times maybe I will start liking it better
Btw CHAINS was definitely the winner cuz it felt most impactful but the trio Sangwon Leo and Ziahao were the ult winner for me ,. Man Ziahao really needs to be in debut lineup , he is such a good performer that he draws attention of everyone in just a few secs .
Masato definitely felt weak against the other 3 power centers but you can see that they have improved so it’s good but I can say haneum x woojin vocals carried sugar high . Man someone debut them in the same team , they will absolutely kill it .
But the vocal quality of the performances have definitely dropped cuz majority of vocalists have been eliminated.
It’s crazy how the teams were mostly similar to my members I wanted though , it was a pleasant surprise to see them together .
Right now my after sorting top 24 and seeing the 2 missions my top picks would be : Sangwon Leo Anxin Kangmin Xinlong Junmin Dongyuu / ziahao Junseo/ Kaiwen/junil
Nian was constantly in my top8😭 with Bowen , dongyun , harry june , yechan , taejo , yoonmin , gyehyeon is other favs .
