I'm at episode 12... Don't get me wrong but this show is so comedically angsty sometimes and it's like I'm back…
Ohhh I hadn’t even thought of it like that, but now that you mention it, it really does have that old-school telenovela chaos energy, just upgraded to BL and way prettier lighting 😆
I hope that’s the case, at this rate the story definitely needs at least one more season. But I’ll believe it when I see an official announcement, I don’t trust Chinese productions 😅
Hahaha, couldn’t agree more, at least 100 episodes! Well, the timeline in the drama is way too off compared to the novel, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we see Kevin before Qin Hao 😅
can someone spoil CS/LY 1st kiss in novel? looks like it's different from the series?
It happens in Chusan’s house, right after Xia Liuyi discovers a hidden camera and countless photos of himself. In that moment, he realizes that Chusan has been secretly watching him all along. Xia Liuyi confronts him, but before he can fully react, He Chusan pulls him close and kisses him without warning. Xia Liuyi is completely shocked and freezes at first, not knowing how to react. For a brief moment, the kiss feels real and intense, but it quickly ends when Xia Liuyi snaps out of it and reacts with anger.
People are always complaining about everything. Meanwhile, in this case, the dub is actually good, they just call…
I get what you mean, and I think there’s a difference between fair criticism and just constant complaining. It’s totally valid to point out something you don’t like, like the dubbing, especially if it affects your viewing experience. But at some point, when it turns into repeated negativity, it kind of stops being helpful and just becomes tiring. From what you’re saying, it sounds like the issue might have been a bit exaggerated. And honestly, I had a similar experience, I expected it to be way more distracting than it actually was. Once you get into the story, you either don’t notice it as much or it works well enough most of the time. So yeah, I think your take is fair. There’s nothing wrong with sharing a more balanced perspective, especially if it helps others who might be hesitant for the same reason.

Honestly, I don’t get why people see him as a red flag, let alone a black flag. At most, I’d call him a bit of a yellow flag, and that’s only because later on he hides things from Liuyi and acts behind his back. But his intentions are always to protect him. He even risks his life for Liuyi multiple times. And I think people forget that Liuyi did the exact same thing from the start of their relationship, keeping things from him to protect him. I see their relationship as pretty green overall, they just go through a lot of messed up situations in their lives. Personally, I think Changxi portrays him really well. But since you like the series so much, it would be a shame not to read the novel. If you do decide to, though, I’d recommend starting it after the series ends. I’m really curious to see how they handle it in the show, especially since the timeline is quite different from the novel.
Started this yesterday on a whim and oh my god. Its SO good. Watched 3 episodes so far and i dont get why people…
People are always complaining about everything. Meanwhile, in this case, the dub is actually good, they just call it bad because it is in another language and they cannot even tell the difference. At the end of the day, it is part of the culture of Chinese cinema and television. Is this the first time they have watched a Chinese series? Dubbing has always been a thing there. I really do not understand why there is so much complaining.
I read it recently and really enjoyed it. It’s very toxic and psychological, so if you liked Four-Faced Buddha, you’ll probably enjoy this one too.
