Even If it was a third grade trashy copy of something like game of thrones, I would gladly accept it because then,…
I agree. Just throwing around random show names and saying "it's fiction" doesn't cut it. The sentiment from most of these "deranged" people, as you aptly described them, reflects a worldview that people should enjoy assault.
“ Why do writers, directors, and producers keep romanticizing rape?” imo it’s because women for the most…
Thiiis. I was hesitant to point out how this ties back to patriarchy and misogyny because I didn't want it to seem like I was forcing feminist politics into discussions about the show. But honestly, that might be the only rational explanation for why a series with a primarily female audience - women who often experience this kind of abuse in real life - would romanticize sexual violence.
The patriarchy still wins, even in BL dramas. My eyes sting.
What kind of brainwashing or conditioning have we all been subjected to? It's sad that "as long as the perpetrator has a handsome face," sexual assault gets repackaged as romance.
Actually, you are being realistic. Fans of this drama are living soo much in lala land that they are comparing…
I was wondering where the reviews were - turns out you have to click the review tab. When I read through them, I was genuinely shocked. People are straight-up celebrating the rape scenes, and it made me sick to my stomach.
For a second there, I was almost convinced this drama was written by some toxic misogynist incel.
I'm not asking for censorship, but people need to call out blatant glorification of sexual violence. Unfortunately, with this kind of fandom that's completely blind to what assault actually looks like, I'm realizing that's probably a lost cause.
And this is no GOT nor even close by any stretch. And even if it were, I'd still have a huge problem with the subjects of romanticized abuse. I saw in the drama's comments someone say its the best "dark romantic comedy" they've watched. I didn't know whether to cry laugh at such a delusion.
But that aside, I felt a little relief that a few people actually saw it for what it was.
The only good xianxia this year is probably Ancient Love Poetry…
😄 Why? I really don't get why she wasn't liked. Perhaps it's the bias I have for shows with truly strong female leads. I dont know of any other show with such FL - perhaps someone can suggest similar shows.

Ancient Love Poetry is among my all time favorite. Right there at the top next to the Untamed and Joy of Life. Incredible plot and dialogue. I also especially loved it for Zhou Dong Yu character and acting. 👌
I think it is cause by the rules of censhorship that affect bl drama adaptation is difficult to air and even maybe…
I fear you are not wrong. These censorships are right on my nerves. What old men are sitting and deciding we should still be living as if we are in the 16th century?! Beats me how some people reason.
I used to check this page every day but not anymore. I now skip three to four days. At this rate I'll stop checking altogether very soon 😞.
Does anyone know what's taking them so long? Did they realize they'd done a bad job and are secretly redoing everything, now that many people are waiting for it to air? 🤔🧐
If you want to give your tear ducts a workout while waiting for hyx (gotta keep in shape!) may I suggest One and…
Ah! Really? I only watched the first two episode and thought 'meh' and I put it on hold. I thought it was too dull - I've got too little patience. Glad to know it gets better.
I've read the translated book, at least up to chapter 279 now (Phew!!). This story is too heartwrenching for me. I don't like the feeling of feeling like my heart just got dug out. Literally. Does anyone know of a book that is livelier? I want to read something livelier when I'm done with this while I wait for the drama to release.
