what?
I refuse to believe anyone over the age of 14 actually enjoys this show. How the hell did this show manage to gain a 8.6 rating? The amount of people that hype this show up despite the overwhelming SA (which the show tries to pass off as "romantic") and literal GANG RAPE that happens in the first episode is concerning. Just because a bl has two actors that are comfortable with ""romance scenes"" does not automatically make a show good, holy shit. The term "morally ambiguous" gets thrown around a lot from the positive feedback I've read on this forum.. and I fear bl fans do not actually understand that character trope.Aside from those VERY glaring issues, the plot is just all over the place--it's like the author/director wanted to keep milking the story instead of letting it end. The story should have ended after the whole wang shuo debacle.. because what do you mean chi cheng's dad decides to randomly kidnap wu suo wei AND chi cheng randomly gets framed for tax evasion?? like what the hell are we even talking about anymore??
I really couldn't bring myself to gaf about any of the characters in this show because of how flat they are. I could not understand wu suo wei's motivations a lot of the time.. or even the rest of the cast's motivations for that matter. I think the only character I sort of cared about was wu suo wei's mom.. but even she died.. like damn I can't have shit in this house!
The only positive aspects I can bring myself to mention is that the production quality is okay.. and the cast fit their roles? I guess? Some moments made me laugh here and there but I think that was a form of coping via stockholm syndrome rather than genuine enjoyment. This may not be the worst bl released but it's definitely at the bottom of the list for me.
I could have dropped this show at any point, but I guess I'm too much of a "hater" at heart to explain why this show is complete ass without watching it to the end. I can only end this by saying "to each their own" to protect my own peace.
TLDR; if a bl fan recommends you revenged love--run far away from them.
