Thanks for pointing those out.Honestly, there are some scenes that just "scream" BL especially when it comes to…
Ya, I totally agree with you. She's a weak FL but I think that's intended so that the chemistry between the bois really stand out. Love this director tbh. Keep casting handsome bois in these roles. We are here for it!!!
Cutting of the sleeves is a gay euphemism in China. The Emperor of Han fell in love with a politician. One time they were sleeping together and when the Emperor awoke and saw that Dong Xian was sleeping on his arm, he cut off his sleeves to not wake up his lover. It's a reference to homosexuality in China whenever you hear of "cutting sleeves" between men.
Umm, there are quite a few gay euphemisms in this drama that I've noticed. Ep. 17 Ying Lei saying he'll cut off his sleeves Ep. 15 The scholar who eats the dragon king's peach at night. Then the dragon deity visits his home at night only to be killed (tragic love story) Ep. 12 "Do what you're good at" "Now? I don't think now is a good time..." I think the director uses euphemisms, analogies, metaphors and idioms and other literary tools to bring to the audience subtle BL without labeling it a BL. Luvs its.
Which ep? Did he call her Gu I can't recall. Also i don't think they are aunt and nephew since ZYZ brought her…
That's what I'm saying! He did call her aunt... Ugh what a confusing relationship. He should just fall in love with ZYZ instead of Wen Xiao. We ship ZYC x ZYZ anyway.
Bai Jiu's ending is gonna kill me I feel it. I'm slowly falling for this kid like he's my own child but I just…
it's a bit sad how Bai Jiu treats Ying Lei though. Ying Lei loves him so much and the two are tied by the waist... their interactions are so so cuuute. I just wish Bai Jiu grows to love Ying Lei more lol
For me, i see more BL chemistry but thats just imo..Li Lun's stare of hate and longing towards Zhao Yuan... *chef's…
Oh god I hope this turns into a BL (but we all know it wont cause... China) On another note: PEI SI HENG IS SO HOT. I hope in some distant future the same directors can make a xian xia like this but BL with Pei Si Heng and Li Lun omgogmog yes pls.
