As someone who watches a good share of their BL, I came in knowing that this drama was going to be based off such a novel. However, after watching it through, the decision to make it a bromance instead couldn’t be more befitting. I feel like this type of narrative is far more profound if it were to be told in a non-romantic way— of one that focuses on the growth and development of the characters, of a coming of age where we can see the ‘wise’ older MC interact with his younger peers in a mentor type of way. Overall, it was memorable and good slice of life with more pros than I can see cons. While I totally understand people’s disappointment in the fact that they straight washed the novel, I feel like, for this specific type of dynamic, this version is good as well. If I ever need to feel empowered and lowkey depressed, this will be one of my picks to watch.
It’s definitely happening. Up said in an interview that production will start next year. So, the finished product will probably be released in mid-late 2026.
GJM usually posts stills of his CPs. He posted JJY/TJR and CDL/JZ a few days ago, so that’s what we’re going off of. I’m assuming YA is 2ML for JJY/TJRs ship.
Can’t miss out on my girl SY, but I’m a bit torn on the comments and ratings. Chat, is this drama worth watching? Is the plot good? I’m a sucker for angst and melodramas so if this has those undertones I’m completely down.
ughhh I’m so, so, so sad to see Li Lun go. Honestly, his character was one of the more compelling ones in the drama, especially his relationship with ZYZ. Idk if it’s just me or.. do I feel like the drama didn’t explore their relationship that much? Considering they were friends for more than 10,000 years, I hoped that the drama would give something more. Sure, they were best friends turned enemies, but I felt their scenes were very short or not that impactful (at least to me). Meanwhile, his and ZYCs relationship felt more developed. I hoped that ZY could feel something more than just calling out his name when LL made the decision to sacrifice himself.. like, idk, a scene where he looks back on the two of them and mourns?
I have yet to watch the last ep so I hope it can compensate for some of this frustration that I feel CRIES
I see so many people for the ZYC x ZYZ dynamic but for me, my heart will always be with ZY x LL.
Ao Yin and Li Lun, the light in each others shadows. If I were AY, I’d also die for that man. He’s so kind and gentle to her I started bawling when she saw his true form 😭
