The lead reminds me of Yang Yang but I like your views on the subject as well🙃

It's on gagaoolala, i don't know if it is available anywhere else for legal watching (and it is worth a one month subscription in my opinion).

Lol

Yeah, that is probably the best for your sanity. I dropped it too late for mine... I thought that this would be To My Shore level trauma which came close to being too much (I knew about but had not consumed the souce material for double helix) but it is worse and I found out the hard way that it is beyond the pale for me.

Ohhhh. I see. I am very bad in the humor department and don't get jokes regularly... so that tracks.

Can you explain? It went over my head as well. I very much so liked the show but was confused by how the NC scenes managed to not be hot.

Right, a trauma response, I agree. It's unfortunate that it comes out as a bratty reaction, but she literally is an army brat so it tracks😅

They had two dates in today's episode lol! But what do you think of the almost hand touching that happend during each date? I'm actually unhappy about it because it has entered queerbaiting territory and their scenes would have had enough chemistry without it.

So cute! Thanks for sharing

Yeah, I am glad he was desperate enough that the fear of the implications of her mom didn't outweigh his hope/belief in her dad. Fear could have easily won

Of course not malicious, just something that could easily cause problems in the future. I hope it doesn't become a plot point.

Because of my bl loving brain I think it is a missed opportunity to not have a enemies to lovers plot for Yan Fang and Deng Yi. A few episoes ago where they were alone during the late night house call I was screaming "just make out already" at the screen. The tension (caugh... or chemistry) was so increadible. They would of course still be the bad guys just working together as a (also secret) power couple. Oh well.
Maybe it exists in fan fiction .

Ohhh... ok, but she wants her daughter to have something with the symbol of 'the enemy'? That seems ridiculously risky. Also side note, I am surprised that the former emperor gave her the status of royal sibling since he knows her background. Desparate times I guess?

You might be right, but I wanted to warn them how dark it gets.... it does start off maquarading as a fluffy bl after all. Although will they even read what I wrote since I responded to your post as opposed to theirs? Who knows.

.... and over and over again in ep 9+10. Both on screen and implied off screen. Someone mentioned that on screen it was consentual only once. I don't recall but sad if true. And why? Simply because he wants him and that it all that matters in the moment (and afterwards, and in general) to LF. Have you seen To My Shore? The toxic one finally lets the other one go when he realises he is on the verge of taking his own life. In this show LF immediately forces himself on CYC.

Hey JWY friend! It does indeed deserve a higher score... from what other people are saying it's because of the lack of expected romance between the ML and FL that is beinging the score down. The FL definitely has feelings for the ML but they are likely unrequited. He is very busy with the conspiracy he is trying to figure out, with a side of poisoning. So I don't blame him from steering clear of romance despite how great the FL is😅. Either way they + 2ML develop a beautiful bond/friendship and become a great justice seeking/ass kicking 3 person team. As an aside, you might enjoy the bickering bromance between the ML and 2ML. It made me smile and warmed my heart many times... but also yes there will be several more doses of crying in store as well.

This!... Throughout the series I could reason the choices/mistakes they made because of their personality/characters BUT when LF said that there is actually an upside to CYC being in a coma, and that this upside is basically that CYC has zero agency, well that makes LF ancient evil🤮. We as the audience are frustrated that CYC is so spineless, but from that scene I realised that LC actually prefers that trait, it just hasn't worked out from him in this setting because the pressures of felial piety outweigh romantic ones. It would have worked out for him just fine in, for instance, an omegaverse setting because then CYC would be spineless for him.

We are also blessed that these two actors are good at being flirty on screen 🙌

So soon in the series! I am so glad they chose to not drag it out to the very end like they did in the recent drama ML was in, GTG, which did forced kiss stupidness midseries instead, eventhough there was flirting there from basically day 1 between the two leads, just like here. I am so glad that they chose not to do that here.

They changed the opening scene from that fight at the inn to him rescuing his friend? The friend who had the secret message and was being tortured? To make the scenes sequential as opposed to a flash back? Were the timeline jumps confusing for people?
