It was hilarious, but the only thing I disliked is that they removed all the BL aspects even though it was adapted from a danmei novel. Not only was their 'bromance' extremely watered down, the writers literally made them BLOOD RELATED brothers which makes you feel like a weirdo if you ship them together (in the drama) and they also gave Zhao Qing Feng a random girl in the end... I haven't even read the novel yet I'm already annoyed by this adaption. I can't imagine how the poor novel fans must've felt when they expected at least a few crumbs of censored bromance between the leads, but got a full-blown straight romance instead.
On a positive note though, I LOVED dafu. He's the only character whose gayness couldn't be concealed no matter how much they censored him lmao. Dude 100% had a crush on the chief and stayed sassy, salty, fashionable, and jealous from the first episode till the very last. I guess it's not that bad to be a one dimensional character sometimes. Hope Song jiyang gets to play more chaotic neutral characters like him in the future.

I'm always amazed how japanese (and korean too) are fantasizing France ... "pas mal" is far from a compliment.In…
Hello, bistro and bistrot are 2 accepted, correct spellings. Maybe the chef was being modest, humble, nostalgic, to name his restaurant Bistro. Only regulars, or connoisseurs know about the high level dishes prepared by the chef, for 'ordinary' people, the chef doesn't run in the circle of famous, high class people. In my opinion :0)
@Nauriya This is dependent on what you’re looking for in a show. It is sad that they did scrap these more poignantly…
I never said its BL. I do not hope for BL. I am all up for LGTBQ. My anger simply because why make a story when you can't. Rather write separate script and leave the original work.
Should I watch it? Give me some suggestions!!!! In hope for love between two boys I don't want to be betrayed by straight up homophobia, suppressed writing.
I despise Ji Nyoong for altering their scripts. It is disrespectful towards other writers for ducking in or succubming to TV mafia. Either way it is original writer's fault for giving permission and agreeing to change the story for TV, no... not just change but actually reversing the plot.
They could have made web series, like others, which has been becoming popular in Korea, rather this bullshit, a trick for ratings, hanging the viewers to see how it is gonna fall.
There r some movies which r brilliant but there r some which stays with u forever, this is one of those movies. Perfect storytelling from the point of view of who is supposed to be a bad guy. Slow paced movie about ruined friendship with perfect atmosphere. Storyline reminded me of japanese movie blue spring which is one of my favorites.
Lee Ming Ki have not smile for the whole movie. I prefer watching him on funny comedy movie. Park Sung Woo have always play the same role so well, Probably one of the hottest nudity sex scene I have seen so far. However, So much stabbing killing from the start to the end. Ahhh....I honestly can’t wait for the movie to end. Not enjoying it at all
Hair does not define your sex. Men can have long hair and it does not mean they are women or gays. Woman can have short hair if she likes. And that's only your point of view. And you started with insulting, because if he knew you call him " a girl" then he could be insulted. What man could like to be called like that. No one calls you a male woman. So dont't call others and respect someone's appearance because he was born like this. And if you like men with short hair then don't watch japanese korean productions and watch your country men or watch only those for adult people or some serious dramas for example about business and some old men in it. I like long hair and i will always like it. I like cute men too... but i dont insult so male looking men like typical macho ... Understood. Let's respect each other.
Slow-paced but well-developed and intriguing mystery with strong suspense undertones (though I found a bit tiring and confusing sometimes were the flashbacks between the three different timelines). But, its most powerful element was the characters’ development and relationships built between them throughout the drama, rather than the mystery solving itself. It addressed some sensitive subjects such as physical and mental violence, domestic abuse and manipulation and successfully managed to develop the impact such things can have on people’s life, dreams and relationships. Throughout the drama, friendship and romance were subtle, slow, understanding, sacrificing - some things were not said, but the emotions were conveyed perfectly and elegantly through glances, gestures and actions. The music was perfectly-fitted, the scenery breathtaking and all the actors did an excellent job. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's worth a try!
One of the very first dramas i watched and ive been in love with it ever since. Its extremely funny but also equally as heartwarming. The 3 ragtag leads are really what makes this show, they share a single braincell, have great chemistry and operate like a mismatch family.
Hmmm, yes I like this story better than the other one (like many others). Though the other story was way more interesting in terms of the mystery part (you know what I mean). However, I just keep wondering .... whenever it's highschlool stories the bullying and "ganging up on people" is so extreme and often has such extreme consequences, too and most of the time it's like the adults and authorities are either useless or clueless or even add to the tradgedy themselves. Even in American productions there's somehow less violence although those tend to be extrememely abusive in other ways. There are such things in German productions, too. Though somehow they're not like this either.
Is it really that these topics of extreme bullying and abuse and absolute non-understanding of love are this present for everyone? Is it maybe, because many of us have experienced such things to some extent from one or the other viewpoint? It it, because those who are creative and make these movies are usually the ones who tend to be bullied in school as well as later on, because they're "odd"? Are we that screwed? OK forget the lat one, ofcourse we are! :'3 Sadly so.
However, there's still something that's very different in Japnese dramas. The depth of psychological terror that then explodes into some very extreme action and people definitely ending up in hospital or on the graveyard. And the percentage of these kinds of dramas (particularly when it's romantic school dramas) is very very high. It's like most of them are screaming "In love and war everything is allowed" (aka, every means is acceptable as long as it brings the right result). While at the same time Japanese dramas tend to be very very caring and thoughtful of others etc. etc. etc.. It's like watching the constant overly-strong restraint on people and the imbalanced and not-truly-meant thoughtfulness backfire on them. Well, that's pretty much what happens, I guess.
So, this story has nice parts, but it's also a display of ill structure. And I personally prefer movies that will put way more focus on the actual romance and chemistry rather than the constant fights against "ill structures". That's one of the reasons why I prever this sequel over the main story, too.
Glad I check out this site before wasting my time. I hate it when something gets listed as BL but CLEARLY isn't. Innuendo, bromance and queerbaiting is not BL. Happy that this site doesn't tag this as gay or gay relationship like some uploaders have been. I always check with this site now, its my favorite site to get informed about BLs!
