"he's expected to delineate the character from himself." What does that mean? Don't all actors delineate their own personality from that of a character they're playing? The dubbing has a huge impact. It's impossible to judge an actor's performance when the voice you're hearing is from someone else. It's just bizarre.
Well, we all have our opinions, don't we. My opinion is that Lu Si Tong as Yichen is a one-note actor. I'm impressed by Ayden Sng, but again, considering that what we're hearing is some voice actor instead of Ayden, it's impossible to gauge the performance as a whole.
The second-best part of this drama, after Ayden Sng and his hotness/good acting, is the love theme song for LuFeng and Yichen, "My Love." I've been hearing it through 11 episodes and still get goosebumps. It's one of the most beautifully written and performed songs I've ever heard.
Tbh i kinda agree with the part that u clicked on toxic bl and u are surprised that it is this toxic? Yes I got…
Ignore the morally fragile, self-righteous, shrieking MDL Church Girls. They LIVE for toxic, dark dramas and the opportunities they provide for expressing their umbrage and shock, shock I tell you!, that anyone would enjoy such material. Meanwhile, they're jerking off on the couch while they watch LuFeng and his wild antics.
Morally fragile viewers will literally see the content warnings, know a toxic BL contains SA, kidnapping, abuse,…
omg, yes. I had two orgasms while reading your perfectly written rant.
MDL Church Girls LIVE to express their righteous outrage at fictional characters and actions. Nothing you say will ever stop them, but I admire your effort.
And yes, they deliberately watch and enjoy shows they claim to abhor. They're as titillated by LuFeng as the rest of us normal people.
Ugh. My feeling is that Yichen is woefully miscast. Up against Ayden Sng, there is almost literally nothing there. Poor Ayden has to do the acting for both of them.
Episode 11: These are two very, very sick individuals. lol Lu Feng is more insane now, when he's quiet and tentative, than early in the show when he was shouting and physically aggressive. As for Yichen, well, I've been tired of his weak puppy act for several episodes now. He basically wanders around in a coma with his mouth hanging open. There is nothing about his character that explains Lu Feng's obsession with him.
It's a tad disturbing how male/female-coded LuFeng and Yichen are. Yichen is this wispy little girl that the he-man LuFeng tosses around like a doll. Borderline weird.
I'm beyond thankful that the obnoxious little brother has gone "abroad." I hope he stays there. As for his BF, that's another case of wtf? What the hell does he see in the little brother?
Finally, just to re-state the obvious: Ayden Sng is wildly, off-the-charts hot. The close-ups of him making out with Yichen drove me nuts in a good way.
why r u so pissed over a good drama? lolif you hate them this much then Just stop watching chinese actors that's…
I'll "put my opinion" however I choose to, thanks. I don't care if you're "offended."
I'll say it again: Chinese voice actors OVERACT. I don't care what you think about that, it's my opinion.
I don't care that every damn show out of China is dubbed. It sounds ridiculous. It's sad that the actors in this show had to do the acting and line readings during filming, then do the dialogue ALL OVER AGAIN for dubbing, and it STILL sounds ridiculous.
"...the plot and everything is like a fine wine." hahaha There you go, fangirling again.
You seem fixated on praising this show...interesting. Are you the director's mom? One of the voice actor's dad?
Problem is, 90% of the sex scenes in the film, which is one of my all-time faves, focus on the straight couple.
I consider this a gay film. It's about a gay king in a relationship with a bisexual man who finds his straight side in a really physically and emotionally dangerous fashion. The King/guard relationship is an established one in the beginning, yet it's the guard and the queen we see banging over and over and over in the film.
There are countless different ways to tell a story. I would like to have seen how the King/guard relationship grew and moved from king/subject, to king/guard, to king/lover. That, and showing more of their intense physical relationship, would have made everything that came later that much more intense. And it's freaking intense already.
This doesn't have to be a "problem" for you, but it's a problem for me. Again, I say that as someone who rates this film 9.5/10 and has it near the top of my fave gay films list. The .5 off is for what I wrote above.
Nah...if I want to watch Yakuza stuff, I'll find a quality feature film. This is embarrassing. The fight scenes were convincing, though, at least the ones that I saw.
So, having just watched Ep 4......I'm wondering why Tae Jeong - the supposed "cop" - is so freaking wimpy.…
hahaha Enjoyed your comment. :)
The absurd casting of that wimpy little guy as a cop is just one of many reasons I'm dropping this sad thing. Too bad, because the lead has potential and a great face.

It's as if the sexual revolution of the 1960s/1970s never happened with these people.

I laughed when the little turd punched LuFeng like he was some butch dude.
In the real world, a guy like LuFeng would snap that twerp in half.
