him crying over waking up to see Midoris eyelashes after 8 years killed me… I love this way too much, but it is annoying I have to keep pausing because I get cuteness aggression any time Ao does anything.
it looks like it will be directed by Director Pui who did love in the Moonlight and Director Oh who did Edge of Horizon as they were both in the table read photos! Yay! I’m so happy!
I did like the first half more and their relationship felt like it moved backwards and then stalled for quite a few episodes before moving forward again in the second half- but I still really liked it and that first half was 10/10 for me! My favourite characters MaxNat have played too. And I’m so happy JT/JJ made a guest appearance in this (he had more screen time here than he had in the whole of Shine haha) - I see the potential of JTOhm - I’m excited to see more of them in Magic Lover!!!
I shouldn’t like this, it has so many elements and tropes I usually dislike - all the politics, second chance romance, horrible parenting, the scummy brother, BUT all of the elements actually worked and are what made me love it. It is just so special - definitely my favourite historical BL. InnOngsa are such a brilliant pair - their chemistry is so natural and real. They’re truly 2 such great actors - it feels almost unbelievable that this is just the start of their careers.
the traumatised kid? - in Duang With You and Love You Teacher he had to go though so many traumatising moments - so they are top of mind - but he’s been in like 10 BLs this year so there may be even more
I have a question for novel and manhua readers - I’ll put it in the spoiler tag below.
I have only read the manhua - not the novel - and I never got the impression that Yok seduced Ing as a part of Itts scheme. From reading the manhua I felt that aspect wasn’t a part of their plan. Itt even lies about having feelings for Yok hoping it will keep them apart at one point. I remember seeing moments of Yok being like I hate Ing but he’s really hot so I’m gonna keep this purely physical relationship going and then genuine feelings other than attraction start to come through after the first break up. But now I’m seeing loads of people say that Itt and Yok planned for Yok to seduce Ing as part of their plan and that’s the only reason Yok and Ing start that relationship. So im confused - did I miss something because I read the manhua really quickly or is this more evident in the novel? Because it kind of changes their whole dynamic to me.
I usually hate the trope they introduced at the end of episode 9! But I loved it here so much! It was adorable and made me love their relationship even more. Also it was nice to see the kid actor for Niran (Anakin) not be traumatised in a scene for once and just a normal kid! Haha!
I haven’t been so excited for a series in a minute so my expectations were astronomically high, but somehow has this actually succeeded all my expectations… it’s actually that good. Tailai has done it again, they’re truly the best company at finding leads with insane chemistry.
This is such a special series to me because there is truly nothing else like this in BL. We’ve been asking for different original concepts and this is exactly that. WeTV and Tailai really took a chance on this, because this doesn’t really cater to any tried and tested BL formulas, this is truly unique and such an original story, so I have to say thank you to for Boss for thinking up this incredible concept and delivering it to us in such a beautiful way and thank you to Tailai and WeTV (although they annoy us with their early releases) they really did take a chance on this and I’m so happy we got to experience the world of NOUR - it’s been heartbreaking, healing and stressful in all the best ways! AND let’s not forget to trend ep10 next week!
I have to commend the cast for how well they have promoted this series - when it was still MONTHS away from airing they were still doing something a couple times a week to promote it. I know that Bank said he was on the younger ones saying they need to get posting and they have - and I know they’ve done a good job because I haven’t been so excited for a series from a cast I’m unfamiliar with for a very very long time.
I don’t think I’ve seen a BL which maps a relationship over the course of 8 years in a single season or one which seems to be switching the leads pov by episode 2 but I’m so completely obsessed with everything being done here.
And it’s crazy that this is the one bl drama that no official sites picked up! I’m going to hope and pray that I can keep finding the episodes somewhere because the first ep was so good!
I’ve got to be honest after the first episode I thought it was good but I didn’t get why everyone loved it so so much, but the second episode completely changed my mind- this is incredible, I don’t know if I’m ready for the pain that’s coming!
Frame and Book were adorable and actually so healthy and comforting to eachother. The rest I started watching at 2x speed or entirely skipping after a while. Frame and Book though were special throughout.
And I’m so happy JT/JJ made a guest appearance in this (he had more screen time here than he had in the whole of Shine haha) - I see the potential of JTOhm - I’m excited to see more of them in Magic Lover!!!
