why hate Netflix, lol? they have lot of great dramas
No, the real Korean stations almost if not always produce better kdramas. I cannot think of any Netflix "kdrama" that was better than a genuinely local kdrama. And FYI, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1_j6izmEX4
People looking for it, it's on Tencent/weTV with Eng subs. I'm only two episodes in, but it is a glorious AU type of world of where rival gangs control decadent and expensive "entertainment" venues catered to the wealthy, powerful, and corrupt. If dark thriller or dark romance isn't your thing, you should nope right out. If you like complex characters who live in and are shaped by this world of violence and corruption, you're in for a ride. (This show's trigger warnings: LOTS OF VIOLENCE. Prostitution, implied SA (from a clear villain), s3x trafficking....and I'm sure lots of other things. This is a dark world, y'all. Don't say I didn't warn you.)
The central male characters are...I'm not sure if they're actual brothers or just close friends who have fought their way up in this world together. Our ML is nominally "in charge" of Deep in the Bustle, a place where anything can be bought or provided for the right price. He is more serious, feeling the pressure of both leading and holding on to his place against the whims of those more powerful than he is. His brother/friend (played by Zhou Jun Wei of Stolen Love who honestly EATS UP this role) seems to occupy a position of being his second in command but also his chief enforcer. He is a wild card, controlled by his loyalty to his friend, but ready and willing to deliver staggering violence and death at any moment, and he clearly revels in it.
Our FL is the younger sister of the ML's fiance. As you can tell from the description of this show, the sister/fiance is not long for this world. In the wake of her tragic death in this world of violence, our FL becomes determined to find out what happened to her.
The first two episodes are entirely devoted to this backstory and setting the stage for our leads' enemies to lovers vibe and story to unfold.
This feels like the kind of show where everyone involved had a great time throwing restraint to the wind and just leaned into the tropes and as a result everyone shines in their role, the world looks amazing, and you sort of throw realism out the window and just go with it. It's entertaining and violent.
Good for Wang Xing Yue. After terrorizing Bai Lu in One and Only, and losing her to Zang Linghe in Kunning Palace, he has a shot ! If there's romance ofc. Don't mind either if there isn't.
Not the brown bear opening door , snatching noodle box with paw and throwing up things on floor like drama queen 😭😭 loved the little glimpse of siyuan and li xiang acting like old married couple
Damn, I love this nonsense drama. The interesting part is that the more you watch it and the more nonsensical it becomes, the more you can’t stop. You just want more; it’s like a mystery you want to unravel. At this point, some of the actions from previous episodes are actually starting to make sense! And what can I say? I’m here for the ML’s acting. I’ve seen him in other dramas and I think he has so much potential. Also, has anyone found the ending song? It’s driving me crazy that I can’t find it! Of course, I love reading your comments—they are my daily dose of happiness. 💜
"Sorry, I'm being weird. I should go take my meds." Not only do I love that line, but it really says it all, doesn't it? I mean it began like p*rn, then 80s wild west fashion shoot, enter the dragon, RIP a few hotties...and then I just about lost it with the noodle snatching paw. And yes, I'm sitting here still watching it thinking that really should be my line.
There's a whole mix of creepy, toxic and questionable things going on...but we're here for it! Kindly don't try this behaviour in real life it might land you in jail!!!
