In the novel it felt like so many chapters of the ex being in town bc there was also a storyline that involved ex's brother with Dabao. I really hope the drama will be better bc in the novel there were times I was really frustrated with CC's attitude towards his ex. Like he's still very conflicted and had feelings.

It's omegaverse. Alpha Beta Omega (ABO)

It's so crazy to me that he's in another BL series that's currently on air along with a series that he had also done an adaptation for. Feel so bad for him that when he was starring in Counter Attack the production budget was so low so it never reached the popularity of the current adaptation.

That was the only live adaptation. The only completed work is the novel so far.

It was fine to wait for new episodes to be released but now I have the fear of the Chinese government doing terrible things to the series/actors involved breathing down my neck. I'm anxious the series will stop airing or the brave actors who were willing to take up these roles get black listed. I was hoping as time passes the Chinese government would ease up on their homophobia but it looks like it's just getting worse. So sad. If they successfully mess with this series then what future investors will be willing to produce content like this and what actors will be willing to risk their careers to star in them. I honestly couldn't believe that this came out of China when it was first released. Not only is it a BL but a pretty graphic one. Granted it's being distributed outside of China but it was still filmed in China with Chinese actors. I really hope they don't suffer any consequences...

you're so right about Counter Attack being a comedy. Reading the novel there are so many scenes where it's just so fantastically ridiculous that you don't know if Chai Jidan is just a really bad writer or she's doing it on purpose. lol

the original adaptation had a really low budget, but it was still really good for what it could accomplished at that time. i loved the actors in it. they did the best they could with what little they had to work with. of course i'm loving this new adaptation and the actors as well. the higher production quality really helps to flesh out the story and characters a lot more.

no matter how much i'm loving this series so far, i myself also could not get over the implied gang rape of that boy. i couldn't believe what i was seeing. that's so heinous and it's weird just to brush off this evil act by Chi Cheng. ok fine give him a beating you'll be a dick but to orchestrate for those guys to rape him you are now a monster. especially since he knew his dad was behind confiscating his snakes and they'll be taken care of. if that was his true personality then can you imagine what he would do to Wu Suo Wei once he finds out that he tricked him? but of course they made him fluffy now so he would never do anything shady towards WSW. i just have to tell myself it's toxic fiction and not to take it too seriously in onder to barrel through and enjoy what is good about the series.

ohmygosh this is sooooooo gooooood ~~~
i'm loving both couples! such fantastic chemistry ~~~ ❤️❤️❤️

I wouldn't be surprised if the guy warning him of the butterfly effect is Shen Nan himself...maybe his future self...

"rules for thee but not for me" LOL

omg the FL is the main actress in I'm Not A Robot?!? Wow she looks soooo different...but you know what I always fhought the picture that the college friend sent to her to reminisce about old times at the orphanage didn't look anything like her and it wasn't just bc she had bangs in the pic. Now I totally realize the girl in the pic looks like the I'm Not A Robot actress! 🤯

dooon't...you'll regret it 😭😭😭

Already on ep. 10 and Hill/Ter storyline is still dragging and sucking up all the airtime. Whole episode and Johan/North only interacted briefly for a few seconds at the beginning and the end of the whole entire episode. Ridiculous! IDC about P'Hill's friggin grandparents. If this was such an important plot point to their love story then it should have been addressed in the first half when the series was only focusing on them. Instead of having boring dragged out scenes of them literally just staring at each other in slow motion. It's time for Johan/North story. Their story keeps getting interrupted for Hill/Ter and it's not fair. I know there are Hill/Ter shippers who love to see more of them but there are also Johan/North shippers like me who have waited patiently for their story to start and it keeps getting cut off for Hill/Ter scenes. At this point I worry if Johan/North's relationship will get rushed. Their love story also deserves the same amount of screen time! It's ironic that Ter labels himself a Johan/North shipper but he's the one not letting their ship sail!

Johan's forearm tattoo is only sexy if you don't know what's written on it. I wish I'd never try to read the scribbles bc it ruined it for me 😭 so cringe.

i agree with most of your theories. i also believe that the ML must have encountered the FL while being engaged to the older sister and maybe fell for her. then he impulsively decided to take the plunge by switching her as the bride in order to not only save her from the other marriage but to have her for himself as well. he's cold towards her bc he doesn't think she has any love for him. she was only forced into the marriage with him so like you said he's a tsundere who's bad at showing emotions. especially seeing as how his mom is pretty toxic towards him so i'm assuming he's not familiar with expressing his feelings. the only thing i don't agree is you implying that bc he's a "powerful man" he would not marry a mute. there is nothing wrong with her not being able to speak. in no way would that make her any less of a perfect wife. they are able to communicate just fine and if it's for fear that others would discriminate her for the disability therefore making her not a suitable candidate as his wife then that's mess up. i'm actually kinda bummed that they don't fully commit to her character as being truly mute. what with talking to him on the phone and talking to herself and the fact that she's pretending to be mute is disappointing. i would love to see more dramas where the FL has an actual disability.

I'm in love with the second couple. I'll just have to pretend that their last scene in ep. 4 was their own happy ending, if sadly this series can't continue...
Let's keep our fingers crossed guys! 🤞

If you have not watched Unintentional Love Story I'd highly recommend it. No raunchyness like most Thai bls but the plot is there and the ml (Cha Seo-won) is a decent actor who's been in straight dramas.

Yes! I fell in love with her in Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber too! she's so good in smart and feisty roles. i'm so happy she gets to have more opportunities to be the leading female. people need to give her a chance!
