Don't force yourself, it may just not be your cup of tea! However, if it's any consolation, it took me until about episode 25/30 to really get sucked in. I liked it before then, but the storyline really comes together right around those episodes and that's when I fell completely in love. Not sure what episode you're on, but maybe if you get to that point it might click for you! I do hope you love it if you decide to pick it back up! :)

Same! He legitimately did so much for her willingly. I do wish we got to explore his character more for sure!

I really thought the ML was super arrogant and rarely listened to her when she really needed it. Also wasn't a fan of what they did to the SL at the end. I felt like it was injustice for his character for the sake of continued drama.

I suffered some hardcore SLS from Miss Truth, but that was only because I thought the second ML treated her better and had more chemistry with the female lead. There are a few other times, but it rarely happens anymore. I think most of the time I just feel sorry for the second lead, but I like shipping the OTP a lot.

These days I try to stay away from dramas with storylines that milk the second love line too much. It get's a little exhausting watching them chase the FL when she obviously loves someone else. Plus, I feel like if you really do love someone, you would want to see the happy. Even if letting go is hard, if you really profess to love someone, you should want what's best for them. I think that's why I've come to dislike the second love trope.

It's depicted as a bromance-ish. The two ML's don't get paired off with any women, but instead have a close relationship with each other that is lovely to watch. :)

I hope you love it as much as many of us here do!

Same on the Chinese historicals. I'm recently trying to watch more as well after The Untamed. At first, keeping track of the character names they throw at you is a little like juggling while someone throws you another ball every time you get comfortable. Lesson of Korean historical dramas is that a lot of people are going to die by the end. xD

I was initially hesitant to start this because of the episode count and lack of BL, but fear not, it ended up not even being a worry. Although there are no outright declarations or skinship between the ML's, there is more than enough looks and the unbreakable loyalty between the two will satisfy all your feels. They really used subtlety in this one, and the relationship between the two is so beautiful, it really (very obviously, in my opinion) goes beyond friendship.

If that's your only worry, I would give it a go! There is plenty to love about this, and the amazing chemistry between the mains is just icing on a wonderful cake! And, if you're still not satisfied with it in the end, like Dogmatic Princess said, you can always read the original material after, which is hella BL. You'll probably end up reading it anyway if you decide to watch. The Untamed addiction is real. :)

I feel like we all need someone that looks at us the way that LWJ looks at WWX when he smiles.

They're so heartfelt. I honestly started tearing up the first time that I read the lyrics/watched both of their songs.

That's awesome, lol. I love the lyrics to their personal songs as well, because they're essentially (at least LWJ's for sure) love songs to each other. They threw subtlety to the wind xD

Kill Me Heal Me, was a great watch. I loved all the different personalities in there.

Chicago Typewriter definitely comes to mind for great Korean dramas. It was a something that I put off for a while, but I ended up falling in love with it!

That's Xiao Zhan as Wei Wuxian in the The Untamed in her/his profile pic! His smile is super precious :)

Uhg, the graphics look so pretty. I just wish I knew how to read Chinese.....

The second epsiode is out as well! They're so cute :)

Miss Truth is a fun and interesting watch. I'm definitely binge watching the episodes, but there's some strong second lead syndrome in this one. I would recommend if you can get past love drama because the mystery side is amazing.

She's a little fickle, but only when dealing with the love interests. I really enjoy when she's solving a case as her character is really smart and capable. The only thing that I don't like is that for comedic relief, her character can be a bit gullible/unstrategic sometimes. The love triangle is back and forth, so beware if you don't like those. If you're looking for a mystery solving drama then is pretty enjoyable. :)

It goes by really quickly, trust me. I was initially hesitant to start this because of the episode number, but ending up wishing there were more episodes. It's well worth the watch! :)

In the novel, MXY trades souls with him, I believe. They changed it in the drama to make it easier for viewers, I'm sure. MXY enacts a ritual that sacrifices his soul and gives up his body to WWX, so in the book his appearance is completely different the second time around.

Loved the casting. I'll have to go read the novel, it looks really good. Also, apparently Kim Woo Bin with long hair is the aesthetic I didn't know I needed.

There are some mini-ships, but the show focuses more on the relationships between the characters and the mental health of the doctors and patients. The romance was more of a sweet background thing, even with the mains, which was nice. :)
