Which prince?

Doc Bai wanted to hear more about the brothel and Muyu deftly got her out and offered to make tags for the clinic. 🤣 Changhe is not as convinced on the Prince of Langya as Muyu is. He went separately to see eunuch and first Prince without telling Muyu. He is given a brief history of the city tenders for the throne and the benefits of choosing wisely who to support. They are trying to undermine the best options for throne and somebody is making the Emperor have nightmares where Langya Prince is attacking him in his chambers. Since the eunuch knew about sleep loss, he has probably set up through teas or whatever and suggestive thoughts to disrupt emperor’s sleep pattern and make him suspicious. This is step one in undermining the 6th Prince. Changhe is not committed to anyone. He wants to get the treasure from yellow springs pawnshop as leverage to establish his other side concept but Muyu shot it down. He sees this as a green light for Baixiao clan to snoop and regather Blood River secrets to use against them. While he is right, he needs to find someway to compromise with Changhe before he loses patience with Tianqi options. The ghost doc has taken her golden puppet to show off to first prince and finds it a harder sell than expected. The eunuch is surprised that he is a step above the level of the Tang master. He is developing skills as a puppet and it remains unclear if he can be saved. Lianyue has promised to make a deal with Blood River if they can successfully rescue his master alive. Night Owl was expecting a more positive response to her new toy and now she sees she will have to up his skill level considerably to even begin to make an impression on first prince. Blood River continues to make no real headway in finding land to settle and Changhe has been led to believe Prince of Langya is enemy if the entire city. Guess he will find out the truth of that when they meet at the restaurant the prince has chosen.

Tables turned

Tang clan is split and they think they have the upper hand with the frost cocoon. Doc Bai does manage to counter it but the old guy is not going down easily. There is a brief battle and when old guy will not stop attacking he is finally shut up permanently. Changhe is having a good time mocking the leader that called the meeting. They have learned that the toxin taken from their poison blossom has been used in weapons and of course Muyu was tagged with it. Lianyue is trying to locate the grandmaster aide taken by ghost doc. She sees him as prime candidate for her poison/puppet spells. The medicine king is recuperating and Lianyue has got himself in hot water sending a representative instead of himself to talk to blood river crew. Muyu and Doc Bai are looking to find a place to open an apothecary in Tianqi and Muyu runs into his first friend. Doc Bai is all ears as he starts his tale of how they met on the entertainment street. 😂The swordmaster guardians are getting filled in as to what’s going on and they all want to know why Blood River wants an audience with the Prince of Langya.

Seeking alliances

Negotiations were almost considered with the Tang when Muyu realizes Mu leader is in a bind. He stops the Tang and takes Mu leader back to their base. As they consider their next move the are ‘invited’ to a meeting. The first prince has greatly missed his mark with Tang grandmaster. The elder eyed him from head to toe and called him a disappointment. Grandmaster would have taken him out but Tianqi general stepped in and threatened with his army. That was countered by furious deity who said he didn’t fight but killed and were the ready? Grandmaster smirked as led out of the library to see blind second prince waiting. He apologized and made a much better impression. It was fun watching first Prince cower. The actor exaggerates a bit but does present this guy as an annoying, arrogant coward. 😝Ghost doc night crow continues to be annoying as well. She tries to make a deal with the king of medicine to remove poison from poison blossom and leaving her a normal young woman. She accepts it and the doc king is offered the chance to see how puppet making is done so he can try to make a cure before she creates poison puppets. Changhe and Muyu are at a meeting with the one thinking she has replaced Lianyue. Muyu is excused to make banquet arrangements while Changhe sees who used to be poison blossom. The Tang leader is pretty bold with her speech until she realizes something is off. Changhe implies Muyu is at Tang location and episode ends.

藤ちゃんだよ〜！

when they looked up at the corner of the sky to see fujigaya riding off on his bike i lost it ;.'';k;/k;'[;[.ik;[.,;.. they all did a good job acting this one out ! LITTLE FUJIGAYA WAS SO CUTE Y'ALL . . . his voice fucking killed me though he doesn't sound like that now omg . i wonder if it was a dialect. i had no sub+titles but i get the gist of what's happening & i expected fujigaya to be dead or something ,or the boys were in some loop that wanted to drag him in. i was going to say something about him wearing white but so was the other boy we followed & i don't know what to make of that yet. thios was also a really pretty episode though. the warm saturation is so interesting for a ghost story ,especially with chuidlrewn it makes the story feel like a flash+back. it also could remind me of burning in hell.

That's easily KBL of the year.

Idk dude, but this is easily the strongest first episode of any KBL I’ve seen in 2025. Like, wow. They really snapped with this one. The atmosphere is so good, The acting captures all the shifts in tension—both the quiet, restrained moments and the bolder, more intimate ones. And the kissing scenes? The couch kiss, in particular, plays out as a slow, lingering, and deeply sensual moment that perfectly captures the tension between the characters. And the chemistry between the leads is genuinely palpable. As a Jisung fan from day one—like, he’s been my pick since day one—Dude is a man-kisser like. Jisung doing KBL was not on my 2026 bingo card. That’s such a good start, such a good good good start, oh my God. I mean, Rio being a man-kisser is nothing new. I watch all his series, he’s a great kisser, a real man-kisser, he just devours every co-star they pair him with. But Jisung? Oh my God. Never in my life did I think I’d see Jisung kiss a guy. Like, genuinely, did not see that coming. But damn… I’m so into it.

One of the Sexiest Korean BLs of the Year

The intimate scenes are a major highlight. The couch kiss is hot, slow and incredibly sensual. The kitchen bench kiss is just as intense. I love how both cousins are so forward with their feelings and actions. And since they are not related by blood, it avoids the tired step brother trope we see too often. Their dynamic feels fresh, daring and full of tension.The hotel room scene absolutely blew me away. Jeong Han tying Il Jo up, kissing him like a predator claiming his prey, was one of the sexiest and most captivating scenes in recent BLs. It balances toxicity, obsession and vulnerability in a way that feels dramatic but still deeply emotional. The acting is strong, the chemistry is undeniable and every moment between them feels charged and meaningful.This series already stands out as one of my favourites of the year. Stunning visuals, addictive storytelling, passionate chemistry and the perfect amount of dark red flag energy make Thundercloud Rainstorm unforgettable.

A Dark, Seductive and Completely Addictive Korean BL

Thundercloud Rainstorm delivers one of the most explosive openings I have seen in a Korean BL. The darker cinematography and moody tone set it apart immediately, giving the story an intensity and emotional weight that makes it impossible to stop watching. It feels mature, atmospheric and bold in all the right ways.Jeong Ri U has always impressed me in short projects like Bad Guy, Blue Boys and Seoul Blues, but seeing him in a full BL series is on another level. He is tall, handsome and effortlessly seductive, the perfect match for the adorable and expressive Yoon Ji Sung. Their chemistry is electric from the very first moment they share the screen.The intimate scenes are a major highlight. The couch kiss is hot, slow and incredibly sensual. The kitchen bench kiss is just as intense. I love how both cousins are so forward with their feelings and actions.
