well i think its just a disconnect between me and her acting. it seems poor to me in all ive seen. especially blossom which i had to drop halfway through. lusi is a brilliant actor, a natural even when unpolished. there are leagues in difference between them. but i know people appreciate ziyi however its not happening for me no matter how much screentime of hers im exposed to. chalk it up to bad chemistry between whatever her acting is and me. if someone sees what she is trying to do better than i, im certainly glad for them and dont mean to yuck their yum.

at ep 28, lan zhan has a surprisingly small role for being a co-lead.

the actor playing meng yao is laughably bad. all he tries to do to convey anything is squint to different degrees

now that im deeper in, despite my initial delight, she is still a very weak actress

meng yi zi looks so good here, i almost did not recognize her. her look these days isnt my thing so im shocked

its not to my liking how james expressed uea’s reactions to triggers. as a fellow survivor it seems too performative. but perhaps its just a matter of preference and it works for most people. it doesnt work for me.

net’s acting is quite good but james is a weak actor

the cinematography is really stunning

ok, but why would the ML even have a university uniform (to give to the FL) if he said he never went past highschool?

BUT, im just at ep8 where her friend remarks upon her wearing the ML’s uniform and how he was a prized student. BUT HE CLEARLY states he only finished highschool. so im still confused 🤔

i dont understand how old is the FL supposed to be in this? her friend who suggested she join her at her school seems to be wearing a highschool uniform. surely shes not still in highschool… right?

just started but wasnt nagisa’s whole thing in the prequel that he couldnt get it up for girls and only for men??

also are tum and tar brothers or what?? i dont get why they are presented as if they are romantic at the end.

lhong is a monster and belongs in prison. im mad they handled it as if he is just a poor hurt baby boy. its outrageous.

im told season 2 undoes some character development and some other bad things, so im skipping it

i think you are right, its like you feel love shining through their lust.

if you want both the bl and the thriller to be undercooked, this is your show.

over halfway and honestly i dont get the hype. its a subpar thriller mystery and a subpar bl by the nature of the thriller being the A plot relegating the BL as a B plot. I understand why people like this, its not formulaic, its thrilling, the leads are good, but yeah my take is different.

bun being a forensic medical examiner and an ER/normal practicing doctor is ridiculous. super sloppy bad writing. need him to be able to be involved in more things? find better reasons for him to!!

WHY would BUN agree to cohabitate with TAN without asking any questions or demanding explanations for all the weird shit he has witnessed about him up until now????? its absurd. is this truly a mystery thriller or just a slapped on sloppy veneer of one?
