I'm gonna risk personal attacks here, but I've tried Soompi and they're not friendly, very judgmental people.
Many people do not realize negative comments about a drama are so important because they can help us improve our viewing experience. I always seek out negative comments or reviews first to see what people dislike about a drama before I decide to watch it. Save a lot of time and frustration.
Many fans of a drama becomes too aggressive and vicious in protecting their idols. By criticizing the dramas, they feel we're criticizing their idols. Sometimes, over zealous can hurt something that we love and try to protect, as it happens again and again.

kisskh is a fun platform for us to discuss our views, likes and dislikes, and we should try to maintain it a fun platform by being civil to each other, even if we don't agree.
I have a few questions. From what I've seen so far the episodes are a flashback. 1. What episode do they go back…
Bromance/romance or BL, we had an animated discussion here on this page when the drama was airing. Viewers who have read the novel said it's a bromance; viewers who have not (like myself) read the story, felt it's a soulmate relationship. For a BL, this drama definitely doesn't have the man/man kissing and hugging scenes. For a bromance, it definitely has more than that by just how each looks at the other wordless.
In my first viewing, like you, I felt it was a soulmate relationship and tried to inform new viewers as such because many people skipped it as they didn't want to watch intimate gay scenes. However, I re-watched the drama multiple times, each time I picked up a hint which I missed in my first viewing. At my umpteenth time, I realized it's a BL (yeah, it took me that long, showing how subtle the BL elements are).
At this point, I feel it really doesn't matter whether it's a BL or bromance. It's all up to us how we want to interpret it. Nonetheless, this drama has the depth and is an amazing piece of work. A MUST-WATCH!
I was glad that Xue Zhi didn't see the assault which could lead to more misunderstandings. Feng Zi needs to stop…
"Comparing ages, Feng Zi is only 15 and Xue Zhi is only 17 but the differences between the two is very big." - Absolutely true. Feng Zi has been treated and served as a "da xiao jie (little mistress) at home whereas Xuezhi is groomed to be the future leader of Chong Huo Gong. Of course, there's a huge difference in their maturity and sense of responsibility :)

Feng Zi is only 15 so can't really blame her for being gullible. After all her shifu is her most trusted person; she's like a mother to her. Though the drama shows Feng Zi as an adult, I try to visualize her as a little girl who is infatuated with a mature man, then I'm less put off by what she does.
