The Slight romance tag Threw me off..😪 Like I need something like this without Romance..is that too hard to…
Yeah.. I came hopping over here from AaSoL thread - someone who was not that hopped up by it said this was a better story.
Now this "slight romance" made me skid to a stop.
A strong romance thread does NOT take away from a solid bromance (unless it a fake one to paper over a BL story adaptation - that's cheating). PRISON PLAYBOOK misrepresented in the TAG the level of ROMANCE Flutters it was loaded with - I mean heck.. It had THE competing romance with the bromance.
We all wanted more of MXD. That face..that composure...just watch him around Lin Lin. He has a deep relationship…
I heard that some sparks are there in the Lin Lin and MXD angle.. But aparently it was so lukewarm and dilute.. You'd miss it if you blinked 😏 That could have been the seasoning the show forgot to add. And for it to succeed as seasoning Lin Lin would need to be sprinkled way earlier.. AND that relationship explored as a competing thread of interest.
Well Chen Jing Ke is in Hello Mr, Gu. I loved MXD and his bromance with the ML here - cracked me up many times.…

SOKP and School 13 mini-spoilers ahead
Oooo yesssssss. Loved that. MXD melted me at first glance.
I was like : "Zhang Zhe⁉️🫢😲" Why wasn't SOKP able to find this intensity to his role?!
We would have had an entire squee thread around him back then - instead of exasperating impatient grunts: "Oh why is FL into this boring drag.. Yeah he's got a face..but no emanations of pheromones to convince that he'd have her moaning for him?" /"Can we move this along to Zhang Ling He lineup?"
Dig a sexy bromance like that any day.
Any one squee over School 13? If I say any more will be a spoiler. We can take the chat over to School 13 and do a spoiler tagged chat.
I SO need a mouth cleanser with sour and chilli flavour to wash off the SUGAR gush of AaSoL which I couldn't chomp any more (dropped at 11)
I left a logorrheic entry at the site .. and am afraid to go in to see the brickbats that might be falling on it LOL
MOST IMP for me if I am to start this show ~ IS there decent enough skinship (propah kissing .. not lip touches .. or camera swivel to hide lips) ~ Is there chemistry between the leads?
It's labeled a romance so it would be nice if they didnt shy away from some slice of life real feel romance and skinship. (FITYMI did SUCH A fantastic balance even as drama explored their work lives and other relationships)
It should suck out some of the 'excess' sugar from AaSoL if it lacks in that department.
SOKP - Shippers here? Anyone of you whooped seeing "Zhang Zhe" in his polished and upgraded avatar? Why couldn't he have done this electrifying 'sexy' in SOKP .. Then we'd have caught a terrible case of second lead syndrome .. Who has ever cribbed about being sick from 2nd Lead ailments!
Chen Jing Ke as "Jiang Yang" - who he? Yum! Someone must be thinking up a ML role for him.
Even the Adorkable Meng Xiao Tian (who was getting on my nerves with his meddling in sister's life) had a face cute as a button and I BET someone is penning notes for his role in some coming of age tale .. Didnt shades of Song Joong Ki (from 15 years ago in SSKS) flit across his face while we looked at him .. Maybe its just me .. but he'd do 'naughty flirty' so well. Oh I wish I could write him a match.
Like everything else in the universe…Everything needs a balance. Too much of a good thing can perish you. In…
ROFL "hypnotizing sexual gazings"
Who did he pratice on??
Ha ha ha ha .. if there was a stand in .. there would be a steady stream for sure AND, ALL probably ended up in the hospital hooked to a drip .. how can your heart not explode in arrhythmia
This drama or lack of it… Reminds me of “Road Home (2023).”It is a nice romantic storyline but my my……
Hi @Hermine Voltaire
Do you enjoy sports based dramas? I had a fabulous ride on a
~ "Love All, Play" (aka The Speed Going to You 493km)
Fantastic Badminton real play camerawork and excitement - we all Asians KNOW baddy ;-p
PLUS the Leads were soooo good .. Seeing this talented ML for the first time .. His smile will spread to each pore of your skin .. and the FL was a natural .. a convincing role as a champ ..
And what an engagingly knit rich mosaic of a complex story - check out the feelz and squees in that out .. And let's meet again ;-p
Oh one more
~ Twenty One - Twenty Five
Kim Taeri tears through the drama like a meteor .. I had LOTS of grief with the drama .. But I could mostly ignore those parts cause it was easy to keep your eyes glued to the MAIN story.
And boy did I see and learn an abstract sport that I knew so little about .. FENCING .. YEAH that's a sports drama woven into the flesh of the story of coming of age and of first love .. and the those elements are inseparables ..
Nothing can compare to L&P- that is at a different level. Infact I went back to it after I watched this one
I am empty .. I just finished my spiel .. and let it all out .. am at peace now ROFL You can refresh the page and you'll find my splatter right on top (most recent today) ;-p

Slight Romance ALWAYS throws me off
Will take a look
Just read the brief.. Not many excited in the discussion thread though - but I'll check it out..

I am like seriously? Let's call a Spade a Spade and start digging some real GOLD to gloat over.
IMAGINE if "Call My Name" was all about Timothy Chalamet doing bromance 🙄 in that gem of a film.

LOL
Post LLTG I checked out and put on PTW "Fight Breaks Sphere" - how 'little' he looks .. I got a shock!
You MUST check him out in ALL his POIGNANT heart-ache-y role in the GEM of a film "Upcoming Summer"
It's on Netflix
I still have : Nothing But You on PTW
Someone said it hardly has any "squee scenes" :-((
Now HOW can I watch Wu Lei .. not doing his "eyes-thang"??
LOL
Anyone of you whooped seeing "Zhang Zhe" in his polished and upgraded avatar?

It sowed seeds of cravings each time one of them joined the cast .. Did your eyes yo-yo from face to face ?
I got dizzy ..
I got greedy .. I wanted to find them their own FLs and ready story threads ..
FanFic anyone ?

If you already havent .. take a peek
I don't need convincing on that front .. He had me at "Hello"
Whereas THE Drama, playfully teased me along for a bit .. and then BECAME a (full blown) TEASE !!!
