There are many Chinese dramas of this type with the trope of clever boy and bad boy coming together though this is better than others I think。But the censorship is frustrating。I noticed a deleted scene in episode 6 where the two boys were supposed to hug as a dare for a game lost by Jin Zhan。It really is pathetic how the Chinese censor harmless scenes。 Do they think they will stop people being gay by a policy of hiding it and keeping it not socially "acceptable"？
nonetheless this is a lovely series I like because I could always look forward to coming away with a positive or uplifting message、 the kids shown here are all so friendly and helping each other。
it is a good advertisement for Chinese education system but then is it a true picture or as I suspect idealized

I really came to like this： a series of supernatural stories revolving around the friendship、 with clear homoerotic intent、between a demon and demon hunter 。 the various stories are uneven and some lacked momentum、for me the last one about the scholar and spirit of the painting、 also by no coincidence homoerotic、 is the most beautiful and poetic。the ending brings everything together sweetly。 the production values are obviously limited although it is strong on creating atmosphere、 even a numinous quality if you let your imagination flow。this may not appeal to everyone〜 maybe just those with bizarre tastes like me❤️🌈

yes I suppose there would be no drama if this was real life

ah no episode 7 and romantic mush begins 〜well the relationship was central to the story from the start I suppose

on the positive side the mystery and action were involving and the first 6 or 7 episodes and the drama managed to inject a lot of amusement even against a background of graphic violence without becoming tasteless and the characters and their interactions were fun to watch、 then for me it sagged in the middle due to over emphasis on romance and the plot lines flashbacks and characters from the past became so complicated I had to constantly re-wind to figure them out and I noticed the drama had to periodically stop while characters gave us a summary of who was related to who and how this was related to that and from there it just went downhill and the denouement was really too silly for words。 most important of all the rationale for everything that happened、 on which the whole drama was predicated 、was completely undercut by it [more on this in my spoiler comment in review]. some allowance I can make for the supernatural element in the story to excuse plot holes and coincidences but for me the use of the psychometric element was not well handled it was never convincing as a real part of An's character just something convenient to push the story forward and cover up for the usual police incompetence： to integrate such an ability and lead anything like a normal life would be far more difficult than shown in this drama if not impossible. it seems to me they apparently wanted to combine a hard crime and supernatural drama with fluffy romance and soap opera elements and it just does not work if I read correctly the two stars here are k pop idols branching into drama and maybe this is why it was written in this way? the epilogue was too long and too syrupy。 not a re-watch for me I'm afraid。

Last chapter began delightfully and there were some tender moments during the drama 🩷🌈 however、considered as a whole for me the story was rather thin and after the slow-burn angst for 7 episodes the plot was rather quickly and conveniently wrapped up in the "Last Chapter"；this is also another case where the ost is nice but too intrusive maybe producers should learn you do not need to mark every change of scene with the same refrain and this is not a substitute for script and acting 〜〜or even silence。so very good but not a perfect 10 for me

😭🩷🌈

this was a drama I was not sure of how it can develop from the starting point however、 it is now one I really look forward to

お誕生日おめでとうございます〜happy birthday🎂

As to review of Architect of Nonsence immediately I have to say why the big highlight of ” NORMAL ”this is just regurgitating Chinese discrimination as though persons with LGBTQ+ orientation are somehow less ”normal” than anyone else： if you want to say relationship is more like brothers or straight say it、you don't need to use prejudiced labels that stigmatize minorities even if not intended

question is will they be able to arrest him ...........

a slight sweet confection of delight❤️🌈

this is very good drama (and the background police v prosecutors theme is a nice idea) but maybe there is too much going on at once for its own good and it becomes very convoluted and difficult to follow the various strands as they all tend to fade out elliptically at crucial points into a different strand not allowing the brain to take in the details： still they mange to tie up the strands、 and maybe openings left for another season ？

first： storylines using the one year later type formula for me are really a failure of writer's imagination and weak device to skip over plot continuity ；second ：the harsh terms of rejection at start of episode 7 really make the longing and regret one year later （and 2 minutes in the drama）not credible 。 maybe this is a function of limitations of time but these are fundamental flaws in the drama that good imaginative writing could overcome、apart from this the characters and actors themselves are sweet

mixed feelings about this ：sweet in parts but an elliptical and flawed storyline （see spoiler comment ）

お誕生日位おめでとうございます〜🎂

maybe but maybe they just want to leave that message about obstacles to relationships through misunderstanding lack of confidence fear of social prejudice and homophobia and you must have confidence to overcome them〜 it is too early to rule out a second season I agree but it would surely have to be beyond school setting

this was a fine example of Taiwanese bl drama though I found the ending ultimately unsatisfactory ーnot because it was sad as such but because it seemed out of character with the feel good positive atmosphere cultivated in the rest of the dramaー so the ending came as a total surprise。 I get the point they are making that love can be lost through confusion about what goes on inside someone's head as well as relating to another person and how you fit into your social grouping、 and the point was neatly driven home by the scene of the two adult teacher characters confronting the same conflict of emotions threatening to derail their relationship through fear or misunderstanding、 however for me this was a complete disconnect with the whole feel good positive tone and development of this drama up to that point〜it is a disappointing note on which to end the year 2024！

mixed feeling about this one。 this is a fine bl drama with a nice balance between seriousness and feel good I have found with most Taiwanese dramas compared with j drama and good character development。 for me it seemed to lose momentum toward the end。for me the ending was unsatisfactory[see spoiler comment]。 I found OST rather intrusive especially in last episode and some producers should remember OST is no substitute for script and acting or indeed sometimes silence is better than noise 。
