I was in a bad mood today and none of the high-budget, top-rated dramas could cheer me up. But 2 eps of this drama and I am all smiles again. Sometimes it really just needs a cute BL with a somewhat ridiculous plot to make you laugh and have a good time.
I was looking forward to the cast and supernatural plot, but this is like les misérables --- everybody is depressed (even god seems a bit down) and I can't understand anybody's motivations at all. 2 eps in and nothing has happened - is it worth continuing?
Do you think they meet at a set, shake hands and greet each other with: 'man, I wonder if I am still snogging you when we're 40?' :D I really enjoyed it.
I was actually out all day and didn't manage to see the last ep until just now. But I was on MDL with my phone thinking *don't read any comments - don't read any comments* haha-- totally worthy finale for the series. <3
Thanks for your review! I totally agree. Minimal edits in the story could have gone a long way to improve the series. They should not have glossed over the childhood abuse like that. I get it was not supposed to be a dark theme in the series but if they had made Tharn a bit more circumspect he could have done all his scenes and would have seemed less coercive. Although the acting was good, I think my personal favourite character was Techno - I wish his story would have gotten more screen time in LBC - but I suppose then people would have been outraged again about the consent issue in his subplot. That being said, I seem to notice a certain preference in BL for getting straight guys drunk and seducing them. That theme must sell really well... for sure there are some kinky BL fans out there otherwise this wouldn't persist. *waves a flag* :D
I support you on all accounts! I do not understand all the negativity towards the cheating either- It's like everybody forgot it was Knock who had no qualms to cheat on his girlfriend (twice!) in the prequel - is it because she turned out bat-shit crazy and Korn's dreamy? What kind of double-standard are people applying? Also, I am really sad, that people dislike Farm/Bright. Is it because people prefer vanilla love stories? I think the way Farm developed is the hottest thing since sliced bread. I nearly had a heart attack when Bright said 'rabbit playing tiger' - and it truly is, because you can see at every turn, that he still is and yearns to be the good boy. :D I have to admit that the Yiwah/Cho story had me feeling a bit bored. Since Bad Romance I cannot -for the life of me- understand why he loves her. And I think this missing link shows in their interactions on screen, their chemistry is just not as strong.
Came for the powerplay and stayed for the pure raw intensity of the character portrayal - absolutely compelling. But beware: the tags don't lie. I enjoyed the the power dynamic and dark edge of their relationship just enough to counter balance my personal dislike of graphic violence.
Were you able to find the title of the song played when Xongsi said he is greedy :)?
My Chinese is not good enough for that ;) - this is all google translate, which also explains the missing particles and pronouns :D - ps. if you find the song, pls share <3
