Yeah, he is a dangerous dude in the novel, wild, sexy as sin, rude . They domesticated him into a total cotton…
yes i know i did comment a few weeks ago that most cdrama audience will have an aneurysm if this book was ACTUALLY adapted thats why i was very shocked to hear about this drama. I agree the novel is crazy but i wont say it’s much realistic either it’s just a toxic extreme- it was refreshing to me but yes we all have different reasons for what we watch and what we read. i just think it’s kinda weird for the drama to be called an adaptation when it’s more like a “loosely inspired by” the novel. Also, it showcases how cdramas are watered down to the point that some part of innate humanness is lost. yes everything is flowery and it is perfect escapism from the shitty reality we live but the novel was also happy ending it’s just their story has tension and angst and grittyness to it that made the ending even sweeter- but that’s my own journey for how i interact with media

oh yes cotton candy is such an apt word i was excited bc it was the first novel i read that had such a wild and exciting ML but the drama one just kinda feels like every other cdrama ML
I haven’t started the drama yet but from clips it already seems they rose tinted tf out of the ML compared to the novel which i kinda expected but they also seem more flowery and romantic in the drama which is kind of a bummer because the tension and angst in the novel were givinggg but i still want to watch the drama i just need to forget the novel first before enjoying it as a separate thing
Obv they are going to tone down just like all other shows 😭, I think it's evident from teasers they are lot…
i just…cannot imagine it, like this genre of cdrama industry is not willing to be this crude so i’m very curious how they will “adapt” this i’m expecting a loose inspiration taken from the novel bc there’s just no way 😭 the smoking kink alone would have the censor board quaking lolol
yall im reading this book right now- chapter 27 HOW TF ARE THEY GONNA ADAPT THIS???? there is NO WAY the script is gonna be the same lmfao cdrama twt would have an aneurysm with how messed up this book is omfg 😭 Edit- I finally finished reading the novel, it was the first time I read this type of grittier chinese romance novel, so it was very interesting, it was frustrating but the extra chapters really made up for it, unique ML and FL and i doubt the drama will do the novel justice so I highly recommend reading it!
to preface this is definitely NOT my first japanese BL, but the extent of explicitness in this one??? never seen it in other japanese BLs before this one and I have a feeling that we have the popularity of heated rivalry to thank for this hahahah
-0.5 for not giving me a bed scene 😭 but the way cha segye says shin seori in his teasing deep breathless voice might make up for it, gah their chemistry was just so peak, what an amazing drama I havent felt this good about a kdrama since CLOY and True Beauty
just saw the trailer and just now read the summary…HOLY WOW i’m so seated my laptop is looking back at me confused af how i’m already so deeply seated. please let the release date be soon PLEASE.
the past life flashback really made me cry this ep 8 😭 also the first time i haven’t been skipping non main lead scenes in a kdrama, every character is compelling in this one. the main couple just continues to serve damnnnn they are so good please scriptwriters don’t ruin this please please also lowkey i feel major k trauma coming but it should be worth with the meal we are getting WHY HE SUCK HER FINGER LIKE THATTT
ep 10- today’s kiss was HAWT but i wish we got a bit longer sensuality hehe but the resolution after all the angst felt goood. missed the comedy a bit more, also wish Wan knew about how Huiju knelt to her dad for him and i hope Huiju finds out that Wan has been crushing on her since high school! and gah i need more domestic moments of WanSeong. The Queen Mother’s acting is amazing like always, her redemption arc is actually viable. But i CANNOT BELIEVE I WAS SO WRONG ABOUT THE PRIME MINISTER i really thought he was gonna be harmless bruh 😭
