wow really….there’s got to be more…just when I got hooked and then drop me like a rock.

I agree and for me that also mean lacking depth of character. who is the real 10th son, I have more feelings toward the fake dragon deity and have more empathy towards him. maybe he is the center of the story and the 10th son is just the support role.

maybe that’s it where are the dragons. there’s a fake one, and the real one that has yet to grow its horn and fangs. seriously I’m rooting for the nine headed snake. she or he is doing all the heavy load for the series.

I feel there’s not enough character development. and maybe he is t the star of the show but a lot of the advertising I saw is focused on him.

I’m still kinda disappointed with the storytelling… too many chapters spent on the fake dragon deity but little on the 10th dragon son. yes there’s bits and piece and with only 10 episodes left it will all be crammed in the end. the pace is too slow that you just feel you’re being dangled on a cliff. hence people watching at different stages will get confused. I’ve been told that’s how this screenwriter likes to tell his stories and direct them as well but like Fangs of Fortune I couldn’t finish the series it was just inconsistent. readin a novel is an active process whilst watching a show is passive so your left waiting. though that’s what fast forward is for. I really can’t rate this show higher than a 7 and credit to their acting is very good.

at episode 14 the storyline is gradually unfolding and yet 26 more episodes to go. however, I am glad I stopped watching POJ to avoid diluting my bias. if people can be fair which is really difficult, unless to use AI to change the faces to original actors of POJ, it would not make sense to use the original actors. they have, however, done a good job of the replacements. good acting skills is good acting skills. and it’s not their fault part two was done 9 years later. I just hope theycc bc an sustain this tensely storyline.

at first I wasn’t sure I would like this series with an over-the-top Duang but it grew on me. what got me hooked is how the two of them evolved, their chemistry, the cute moments, tackling abuse and the family values. it’s not heavy drama, light enough I can chew on it like a light sandwich with bit of them in the middle.

I see. thank you for informing me.

at first I wasn’t sure about this drama. I wanted more clarity so I started PA but decided to stop. it wouldn’t be fair to judge this series against the previous one made 9 years ago. let Revieth stand on its own and be judged on its merit. I’m at episode 5 and it’s beginning to take shape. honestly I prefer this pace than Veil of Shadows. hopefully they can sustain this series to 40 episodes.

I think the issue when the first part was 9 years ago, trying the get the new younger audience to understand the context of the story is to edit previous and current storylines. that is a difficult task for the editor, the episodes keeps vacillating to the past and present and can easily distract the audience. I personally struggled to keep up with the characters and their roles. eventually this will bake into a singular storyline but theses first parts is truly a struggle.

I am struggling to finish episode 15….it is sooooooooo slowwwww! the story just keeps dragging on. I probably won’t finish this series at all not to the next one. and I really liked RJL in One and only and Forever and ever.

probably so my opinion is that there were three timelines in these long episodes which could have been told in away that flowed better instead of frequent switching of the time order and hence would shortened the episodes. however if there are only 29 episodes then the series is already short as it is and maybe this script was written to add these four episodes. but I’m glad I made it to episode 17 now…without fast forwarding.

personally I would skip episode 12-15 and move on to 16. they could have made the longest story ever told into one episode. maybe I’m just impatient but the writing got to convoluted. and yes I have been rating each episode

it started confusing as to packing the context and history of the characters but as the story unfolds it’s beginning to be more interesting. The CGI is top notch production which these type of shows are now fully dependent on. I hope the storyline continues to improve.

I’m only on the fourth episode and I’m struggling with keeping up as to who is whom. remembering which person is what name. and worse, their faces are so monotonous. I had to rewind several time just to confirm I understood what’s going on. this show in four episodes is already westing me out. I’ll probably drop this fast. too many lead and too many characters means too many stories which will get more convoluted based on my experience with Chinese dramas. definitely not in the same caliber of storytelling from the best C dramas out there.

I’ve reached a point where I’ve watched enough BL that finishing a series now requires something more, something meaningful. Not just chemistry, not just fan service, but a reason to invest my time.

The Eighth Sense is one of those rare shows that understands relationships beyond labels. Whether straight or gay, it explores how people grow into each other, how timing, emotional baggage, and self-awareness shape connection. It reminds us that relationships aren’t just about romance; they’re about helping each other carry the weight we bring with us.

This isn’t a show driven by “shipping” or exaggerated chemistry. It simply is. And if you know, you know.

whereas One and Only was Romeo and Juliet, Forever and Ever is Crazy Rich Asians to the extreme. I love RLJ acting, so natural and most difficult to act is a stoic person with deep emotions. Bao Linus beautiful and a great partner for RLJ and their chemistry showed. this is a slow dance love story, with a lot of healing deep and hidden pains. the family interactions create enough depth to the whole drama. to understand the depth of their story I feel watching One and Only helps as their tragic love began in their previous life. this series tugs your heart in every direction, anger, sadness, loneliness, happiness, but it also leaves you hope.

it’s not the ending most viewers won’t like but the creative writing really stitched it together…sure they werent holding hands in the last episode but it doesn’t mean the don’t end up together which in this case all hints say they do. but the story is not about the ending, it’s how their love transcends time and change their lives. yep I was telling myself that’s it and then realized it’s not a sad ending, it’s actually a happy ending. I just love how Koreans make short BL dramas.

I completely agree, a great director leads to an even greater show. well written.

I think the most touching scene of the whole series is on the last episode, when they both went back to Lin’an and the ghost of the people who were massacred welcomed them back. for me it closed that loop from the beginning til end. the massacre was also the darkest part of the story. very touching.
