I am legend…a BL story
I am usually not a zombie show person. Making a love story during the end of the world is like finding the right man in the middle of Shibuya Crossing…there are too many people, too much chaos, and someone is probably trying to bite you. But The Last Oath started with a good idea. A virus has destroyed the world, Lin Zai is immune, and his blood may be the answer to saving everyone. A Lie is sent to capture him, but ends up protecting him instead.
The music is great, the production is better than I expected, and the two leads made the story work. Chen Ming Hao gave A Lie a quiet sadness behind his hard face. Chen Liang made Lin Zai kind but not weak. Their chemistry was the real reason I kept watching. They slowly learned to trust each other, protect each other, and maybe want something more.
Some viewers were too busy complaining about the AI and CGI scenes. Yes, the effects were not perfect, but this is not The Last of Us with an HBO budget. I looked at the whole meal, not just the kitchen. The series tried something different for a BL, mixing zombies, action, survival, and romance. That alone made it worth watching. Even when the zombies had perfect eyesght, arrrows never ran out, and people came back from the dead with better tracking than Google Maps.
My problem was the middle of the story. The brothers’ story was meant to show the human side of searching for a cure, and I understood that. But it slowed everything down too much. The show began with a big question…can Lin Zai’s immunity save the world? Then it became more about saving one person. I wanted more danger, more zombie action, and more focus on the virus and the cure.
Still, A Lie and Lin Zai made me stay. In a world full of zombies, people fightng for power, and a lot of blood being taken from poor Lin Zai, their connection felt real. That was the heart of the series.
In the end, maybe this was never really about saving an already apocalyptic world. Maybe it was about finding love, holding hands, and walking toward the sunset together…because eventually, we all die anyway.
