Am I the only one who feels like Wuxia dramas always have a bigger budget and have overall taken more seriously by their authors compared to Xianxia dramas ? Otherwise does anyone know amazing xianxia dramas ?
Its decent. Not sure why the rating is so high tbh. Besides the great cinematography and monsters the plot was…
I was really sceptical at first too, but i don't really know how the story got me really engaged. Actually it was my first time watching that genre for a korean drama (only watched cdramas like that prior to Sweet Home). I think the ratings are high because it attracted a lot of people like me who don't necessarily watch monster kdramas and were easily thrilled. At least that's a theory I have. Also the fact that there was little to no love interest must have pleased the audience, it's kinda rare even for an action-packed kdrama
is it just me or? I've always felt leo wu is pretty much the most manly guy among young chinese actors. His thick…
It became a lot more noticeable in Cross Fire and Tomb of the sea, he became really manly, and it's enhanced by his amazing acting and various facial expressions. The first time I realized he had grown was in Fight Breaks Sphere, where's there are multiple scenes where he suffers from a tremendous pain and his acting is mindblowing. He's able to make his veins pop out and tense his muscle like cfrazy.
This literally isn't a BL tho?? And it's insulting to call it that. BL is a specific genre that this does NOT…
So I just did some research and you're right. I'll be more careful about using it (especially since there are so many things I dislike about this genre). I used it here because the script and the dynamics of their romance felt really BL-like to me.

I disagree with the definition you have of a BL, but it makes sense with your first comment so I get it. The word BL is commonly used when a homosexual relationship is portrayed in a show so I advise you not to get worked up everytime someone uses that word though. I admit I didn't know it was the director's own life experience, esp. since it's neither in the plot summary or the tags. Then my point about diversity can't be applied here. But when I meant diversity I didn't mean the manly/camp dynamic in particular, there are a lot of different dynamics that wait to be portrayed. Also you got me wrong, I didn't talk about fanservice for this drama but for the BL world overall.
I'm worried about the chemistry, but it's only a trailer so far so it might be better. Usually, Leo Wu can be shipped with anyone because he rocks the "kiss-me-now" gaze as I call it, but here... Let's see !

As long as the tag is LGBTQ+ and that this show portrays a homosexual relationship it's called a BL for me. Also why do you think that calling a show a "BL" is insulting ? There is a good amount of greatly written scripts. For the "male-looking" i meant the stereotypical characteristics that society in general considers to be related to men. They are obviously male. But very rarely you'll see something different, like a man with a higher pitched voice, or with less "masculine physical attributes". This lack of diversity pisses me off, since it's most probably due to fan service (fantasy-related for sure). I have nothing against this show in particular regarding this issue since it's a global phenomenon but I still wanted to point it out.

NO ONE CAN HURT MY SIFENG
