Laying out my clown makeup as we speak.

I was already prepared to support this based on ZZH alone and then to see PMY is the FL and now I’m on my knees. An actual ZZH comeback AND a Korean actress in a Chinese drama and it’s not being shelved for a decade??? Maybe the world can get better.

Where did you find that date??

Sorry, sarcasm didn’t come through the first time on my end.

The bromance in Goblin is a perfect example of an actual bromance.

It’s really not the same take though. Because these stories are actively suppressed by the government to eliminate the non-het romance. Anything remotely queer that makes it into the drama is because it slipped through censorship. In the het-romance dramas you mentioned, the romance is still officially there. The only censorship that is experienced in those dramas is regarding explicit content which isn’t allowed in any Chinese media anyway.

I agree. I take issue with the use of the term bromance on dramas that are censored romances. Bromance really should be specifically about friendship, not romance that is being disguised as friendship. I say this as someone who watches almost exclusively lgbtq dramas. Censored Romance or Censored BL are the better terms for all the listed dramas above.

Preparing my makeup, rainbow wig, and big red nose as we speak.

I am a chronic optimist and search for the positive in everything. I hate dropping shows and will stick through just about anything. I despise this series and I hate that I ever watched as much as I did. I also hate myself for wanting to know how it ends and thus I keep finding myself reading the comments here each week.

I did that with mdzs and I wish I had read the book first tbh. I liked the untamed but I didn’t love it until after I read the book. so I’m happy to have finished tgcf and now I’m even more interested in the series. I’m watching the anime too and it’s perfect so far.

I will wait for this drama just as devotedly as HC waited 800 years for XL.

yeah. it’s called Heaven Official’s Blessing.

It’s the first any of us are watching in this setting. lol

I don’t read it online. I buy it in hard copy at the bookstore. It’s published in 8 volumes in English in the USA. 7 volunes are out now and the last one comes out in about a week.

I am obsessively reading the novel and praying to all possible gods that this will find away to air soon.

The tone you read this in was not the tone I wrote this in.

all these characters have turned into miserable awful shadow versions of themselves. I actively hate Zeke now. Can someone please knock some sense into him??

Perth tried so so hard to make this good. For that I will give an extra 1/2 star.

First of all, this was worth the watch on. Saturday afternoon with nothing better to do. As a fan of OOO, it was also mandatory viewing and I enjoyed seeing all the boys in these characters. Unfortunately, this had way too much story to tell in such a short format. Most of the plot points in the second half as well as the ending felt rushed and fell flat because of it. If the runtime had been doubled to make 8 30-minute episodes, I think we could have come away with a better executed series. Nothing was gonna help the acting but I’d gladly watch sub-par acting from idols that are passionate about the concept like OOO is.

The question you are asking is insensitive.
