Sigh, I really thought we were finally getting some nice LGBTQ+ representation only to see the female lead end…
This story was a nice representation of LGBTQ+, it just turned out that one of the female leads wasn't gay. We still have Nao who's Bi-possible and Mie who's probably ACE.
1) Meteor Garden. The one with Jerry Yan, Vic Chou, Vanness Wu, and Ken Chu. 2) Don't let the bad production value stop you from watching some of the older dramas. There was a freedom to them you don't see anymore. The Rose, Mars, and Autumn's Concerto are good examples of dramas I don't think would be made today in Tiawan. Don't be surprised at the amount of skinship that happens, even in early T-dramas couples did more than hold hands and give back hugs. In They Kiss Again, the balcony honeymoon love scene is one of the best I've ever watched. Don't be surprsed at multipule endings. Sometimes a drama will have one ending that's a tragidy, and one where they show them living happily ever after... I guess you get to pick the one you like best.
Is this one of those shows where the female character is surrounded by multiple male characters who are all better…
No. Each member of the team is the best at what they do. Kystal's character is a highly skilled pickpoket, a very good locksmith, and a badass racer. If it has wheels she can drive the hell out of it. The best thing is that she dresses like a normal person; no fugly /sexy/little girl clothes, her hair and make-up look good and her wardrobe is a "pants and sneakers" look. The other members of her team treat her like a little sister.
Firstly, I'll give my overall opinion on the drama. This kept me entertained all the way through. I love xianxia…
It's a C-drama. Since when do they care about reducing the number of episodes? There is probably another reason they cut them. Chinese censorship is weird...
I would actually disagree. Hae Hyo is one of the best secondary leads for me since he doesn't force his feeling…
I see where other fans are coming from but I agree with you. HH is the first SL character that I've seen where his reactions are pretty much what you might experience "irl". Yes HJ is his best friend so it would make sense that they probably attracted to the same "type". The most important part of two friends liking the same person is who THAT person likes. It's not like HJ took a full step back when JH was saying that the guy she fan-girled/liked was HH. I've never been a fan of the "I love you so take responsibility for my feelings." trope. The only person responsible for your feelings is you. It's how you act on your feelings that show your character. Trying to force someone who clearly doesn't feel the same way to "take responsibility" doesn't do anyone any good. (The exception to this rule is when a marriage is breaking up... it's necessary for both parties to figure out their part in the failure of the relationship to find closure and move on to better things.) JH is smart enough to have figured out that HH may have a little crush on her. By being upfront with HH about her feelings for JH, she's been able to thread the needle and HH has been so thoroughly friend-zoned he can make light jokes about his feelings. I found time and humor is the best medicine when a friend suddenly starts acting like they "like" like you. By not taking them seriously you don't give their feelings the weight needed to make them important.
