I was thinking this too. He Yao actually makes my skin crawl with his experiments and godmodding. I think it's intentional because if you're scared of a morally grey scientist performing experiments on someone innocent, why do you cheer on a pragmatic military man who wants to deliver a reluctant civilian? They can both say there's a greater good and someone might be right. But nobody considers Lin Zai's autonomy.

He Yao: People who are too controlling aren't very likable.
Also He Yao: *manipulates groups of people and a vulnerable immunogen so his zombie brother won't bite off his face when they kiss*

This comment fried me. 🤣

This is just me rambling about the plot.

The story has been hurting me. Just because Lin Zai is feeling confused about finally getting to meet his group again, he's comparing how A'Lie treats him and his uncertain future to that of the peace with his found family. But I don't want A'Lie to give up up on him just because he can't find the sense of normalcy and stability Lin Zai needs. Lin Zai is in so much danger now. He Yao found out he's an immunogen and manipulated him into giving up blood to cure brother. It's so precarious because everything could get worse as a result of He Yao buttering up Lin Zai and his group. I hope A'Lie would come to realize that He Yao's selfishness and experimentation could come from any scientist in the apocalypse, and he won't always be there to defend him. He needs to see it for himself before deciding to give up the mission. Right now there is no pressure from this big scary organization that raised A'Lie into a super soldier. It seems easy to question, 'why not just love Lin Zai without giving him up?' but he must be holding back for a reason.

They've done a good job blending human art and AI generation in this series. Some things are more obvious like the title screens or transition scenes. Sometimes it's a matter of what is more important for creators to focus on; they clearly chose direction, camera work, and the actors themselves. I agree it's not a no-effort replacement.

Some of it is, they credit 'Suno, Minimax, ACE Studio' in the credits.

Lately @ouzhiju channel on youtube has been releasing the episodes of season 1 for free. Go and watch it if you're curious and weren't interested in shady streaming sites. The director says being shocking/memorable is the point, so expect mess more than anything. lol

They also add some bts/script reading content for paid subscribers.

That's really disappointing. I wish Thai BL knew what slow burn was. It's always touch first and plot (if it ever happens) last.

This series has amazing promo videos. 😹

I enjoyed it, it was well made and my heart fluttered while watching Xiao Fan and Lu Qing. I'm soft on protagonists who are described as 'pathetic' or 'meek' by others, and I felt that Xiao Fan was always between a rock and a hard place so his behavior made sense. I liked how they didn't hold back showing the class divide and how that caused tension between the families. Sometimes I felt there was some big context missing, probably from not being able to carry things over from the book.
But overall, I liked it and felt a spectrum of emotions while watching.

This drama is so well made. It's cute and hilarious. I love the bathroom humor.

Zhang Zhun didn't hold onto his anger at being violated in the end and he didn't get an apology. I didn't think the drama would turn out to be so sloppy about it because they've been rewriting FC/GZ so carefully.

Gao Zhun and the men orbiting him, a darker harem than Secret Relationships. 😹

I gave it a chance after dropping it once, but there's not much to look forward to between Kelvin and Veir; I don't feel anything during the couple scenes, not anger nor affection. Kelvin is more interesting being a villain to other people than to Veir. The captive scenes could've been more tense and resentful on Veir's side, but they were inconvenient at best.

I hate showbiz stories but I love the actors in this so I'm tolerating it hard.

So they're using Zhen Xin as the reason why Fang Chi and Gao Zhun's scenes can't be as intense in the novel? Well, that's cute. Though I disagree with him that it's love between them.
At least it's a part of the plot instead of deleting things entirely.

I'm not sure how to link the post directly but I saw it on their Instagram page.

They just finished filming season 2 and the preview photos look way less enclosed and low budget. They can afford extras now. 😹 I'm excited as one of the only fans of this show. Sometimes you want Wattpad levels of melodrama in your media.

Those chapters are in the physical release of the book. I don't know if anyone has them online. I haven't read them unfortunately.
