i feel like the pacing is a little bit fast. i thought the master-servant setup would last longer since it's the highlight of the plot, didn't expect it to be resolved in ep 1 lol. now they're just a typical couple. but i still love the characters they're unique and layered, the actors have good chemistry.

aint no way?? i love both shows but the leads' dynamic here is very different from yanxia. the “bromance” in nanyang is deeper and has more emotional layers than whatever relationship hong and shaoshang have!!

the marshal knows his son is gay 😁

i was so excited to add it to my ptw when i read the synopsis—then i saw the tags... the main genre is romance 😞 surely that's straight romance, right?

fanfan's family i can endure... but ziyang is starting to get on my nerves. why does he talk too much?! my ears are bleeding. also can he stop meddling with fanfan and luqing's affairs? gosh dude get a life!

huh? who said they were in high school? 😂 they were college students! and seniors at that

ohmygod where are the other eps? why did they not release all of it at once

that's not enough?? she should've at least coughed 1 liter of blood

nooo

why did the king's mother not get her karma for killing so many people? she's one of the people in the palace with a lot of sins but she's the only one left untouched

P'Jojo is the director.

what's an express package and where to purchase that?

Out in September, every Saturday!

hey don't compare this mid to my goat 😭

i have yet to watch ep 25&26 why are we talking about ep27 already 🥲 now im scared

i love your interpretation! i also see this as a censored bl so those hand shots were definitely implying hong's deepening feelings for shaoshang. when he talked about his past he was fidgeting cause he's being vulnerable, the scene needed physical contact between the leads to help hong settle his emotions, so the director used the “good news” as an excuse to make shaoshang hold hong's hands. and in the end we saw hong rubbing them like he was genuinely touched by that move from shaoshang. this isn't the first time shaoshang had held his hands but the previous ones he was weirded out this time he cherished that act. at this point shaoshang has already melted hong's walls and entered his heart.

during that whole scene they kept doing focus shots of hong's hands. they were def trying to convey something

am i evil for wanting to see young master badly hurt just so i can see hong lose his shit?? that'd be so hot and romantic

lmaoo people will have a soup trauma coz of this show

a cup of water? not a bowl of soup? 😞
