Those who criticise the looks of others are invariably suffering from chronically low self-esteem. Be nicer to…
Oh dear, I'm "bullying" a woman who has no idea who I am, never will, and doesn't care. That you perceive me as a "superior being" is a compliment, and I thank you for it, but that's in your head, not mine.
Also, I resent you bullying me with your mean comment.
As a cdrama fan i can attest this. They drink tea like water. They take tea even after dinner. They actually have…
Thanks for all the info! I appreciate it. :) Perhaps the biggest surprise to me was that some kinds of tea grow on TREES. I was clueless. I drink iced/cold tea all day long, mixed with lemonade, but it's boring decaf black tea. Maybe this show will inspire me to mix it up a bit. :) Warm/hot water is good for the body, I've read. Makes sense that dumping warm liquid into a warm body is going to be more soothing than dumping ice-cold stuff down my gullet as I do all day every day. :)
don't see it as a filler, see it as a perlude to what coming next (Qinlang is going to be involved in a media…
I know that's why they are there. However, I find them annoying, and I don't care about the soul-sucking online media drivel. Am I the only one who wonders if the show isn't intentionally making the point that the 24/7 social media addiction/wars/whatever are empty, meaningless, and dehumanizing? And also a great way to keep the public focused on trivia while governments, tech lords, and oligarchs rob us blind as they amass ever more wealth for themselves and push us blindly into a future of AI Hell.
Episode 4: The friend group kid with the yellow bleach job is a hoot. lol
Ack! I give up...this is terrible. The actor playing Fuse is good, as are Book and Frame, but they can't overcome the bad writing, direction, pacing, and awful casting of Tee Dropping...1/10
Anyone who comes here looking for advice: skip this boring mess and rewatch the 2016 original MIR instead. EVERYTHING about the original is better than this sanitized, molasses-slow slog.
As an American (I hate Tr*mp more than you do), I am ignorant of most everything outside US borders. I knew China was huge on tea, but this show educated me on HOW huge on tea it is. After a few eps of characters drinking tea ALL day, every waking minute of every waking hour, I began to wonder if it were some sort of in-joke. So, google being my friend, I did a little investigating...well, it took one click, but still... Chinese people do, in fact, drink tea from sunup to sundown/bedtime, often carrying around the water thermoses I became fascinated with seeing so often in Winter Sun to refill their cups with hot water. Who knew?! I sure didn't. The end.
I think you missed the whole point of the episode and there were some huge things that happened.
I don't care about anything having to do with the silly side couple. I don't care about the mom becoming a monk/nun/whatever. I don't care about QL pressing leaves in a book. I don't care about Sister Gao's fake shrieking. I don't care about the social media stupidity. CY came home (I guess), but there was no reunion. CY/QL texted (exciting!!!) What's left?
I have largely enjoyed the show to this point. It's ok if one episode sucks.
Episode 14: When the history of BL is written, this episode will appear as the banner photo for the chapter on FILLER. Nothing of interest or importance occurred. That side couple is beyond uninteresting, to the point of annoying. Lots of shots of people sitting around staring at phones and obsessing over social media chatter. What could be more soul-sucking and vapid than that?
Great show! I detest the vertical format and the two-minute episodes, which is why with one exception, I wait until some kind soul strings all eps together for me into a movie of sorts. I still have to put up with the narrow/vertical insanity, but it can be gotten used to as long as I don't have to stop/switch/start every two freaking minutes.
This series deserves a remake in a standard format. Great acting, writing, direction, everything. Gennosuke is rapidly becoming a favorite actor of mine. He has feature film screen presence, acting chops, and star quality.
9/10

Really wanted to watch this seeing that the manga is officially available on Manga Plaza but I cannot get into…
I haven't found this one yet, but if you're willing to wait a while, inevitably someone stitches the short episodes together as one long episode, which makes them watchable and some of them great. :) They show up on youtube, dailymotion.com, and kisskh.do, among other places.
I hate the vertical format also, but two of these shows have ended up on my favorite BLs list after I saw them formatted as I describe above.
Laugh-out-loud funny. What a great surprise. Han Se Jin is the tiny, little heartthrob I didn't know I was throbbing for.
There are only two things wrong with this show: 1. Its vertical format, a concept I will never understand because wtf can't people watch in vertical on their phones (to which they're addicted) if they choose to do so? 2. Its 2-minute episode runtime, because why can't the same people hit pause after two minutes if they fucking want to? 3. The ending, which left me pining for the two of them to take the next step...but they can do that in the...SEQUEL!!! Which will be shot in wide format as a regular drama in 8-12 half-hour episodes, released all on the same day if I have anything to say about it, which I don't, but whatever.
This is funny as hell, witty, well-acted, and touching in many places. It is one of the sharpest, most incisive parodies of the BL genre I've seen, and it delivers its satirical points from within its own moving story. Even the fight injury makeup is pretty damn good.
In a traditional wide format, this is a 10/10. In its current vertical, it's a 9/10.
Ignore anyone who says this is somehow insulting to gay men. The satire went way over their heads. Plus...how is a story in which two butch dudes are clearly gay for the lead who is also gay (though in hilariously delusional denial), "insulting" to gay men? It's not, it's deeply affirming to gay men. Watch and enjoy. :)

It's interesting that you consider "girl" an insult.
I'm suggesting you don't hate it at all, or you'd stop watching.
