When I say I want to see a dominant top, THIS is WTF I mean. 🤌 There's something so compelling about these two, and I wish we'd gotten to see more of their dynamic. Chen Ming Hao absolutely killed his role!
Knot is a perfect example of why relying on NC scenes as the main attraction just isn’t going to cut it anymore. You can throw in as many steamy scenes as you want, but if the story isn’t compelling and the chemistry isn’t FIRE, I’m not staying invested. And unfortunately, the acting, writing, AND directing weren’t giving either. 😭 The whole thing just fell flat for me.
Loved the first half! The second half after the time jump, not so much. It felt like they didn't really know where the story was going, which is a shame because the buildup in the beginning was really good.
I also think they should have kept the character a true red flag right to the very end. To me, that would have been much more entertaining. It doesn't always have to be roses and sunshine, but I understand that the majority of BL lovers hate that type of plot. 😂
The first episode had me really excited, so I waited until all the episodes were released so I could binge-watch the series. Was I completely satisfied? Not really. It ended up being a bit of a letdown for me, but I think that comes down more to the direction and writing than the actors themselves.
I actually thought the casting was great. I agree Jay wasn't the strongest in every scene, but considering his age and experience, I think he did the best he could with the material he was given. Both leads definitely have potential, and they absolutely look the part. I'd love to see them on screen again with a stronger script and better direction.
Despite the dark nature of the show, which many may find difficult to watch, can we all appreciate that we're finally getting full-length Chinese productions with BL again? The acting, script, and production quality have been great. I only hope KBLs can reach the same level of production quality soon.
I was going to wait and binge-watch this, but I decided to watch the first episode because I've been struggling to get through a lot of the other BLs lately. I'm glad I did. This one gives me hope.
Where was the "unlikely/slight romance"? I feel a little duped 😅. I thought the two main leads were going to hook up at some point. Now that I've finished it, I understand why it didn't go that way, but the tags definitely had me expecting something different.
I had no idea until today we were getting another adaptation. I love Nagumo Shoma’s vibe, but nothing’s topped the original yet. I’ll still watch though — maybe this one can improve on things, because BNW didn’t really do it for me.
