OMG!!!!!!

This was one of my first BLs, but still no bias, this is one the best BLs, GMMTV ever peoduced, and looking at that the actors in it mostly were rookies, they handled it so well, I especially adore Gemini and Fourth, they are and forever will be in my top 3 CPs. Every aspect of this series was just shouting....... "cute..... cute........ cute......" and I could not stop giggling or laughing or blushing at thier sweet moments. Always ever excited for anything GeminiFourth related, watched all their series and definitely waiting for TTH. This series also introduced me to Mark Pakin and, unpopular opinion MarkOhm were great in Sweet Tooth Good Dentist, always like MarkOhm and thanks to MSP I was introduced to Mark

Where can I find a He Su Ye?

March 10, 2026

The Best Thing I have ever watched with the greenest leads. I love this Cdrama, I just docked 0.5 off since it felt just a teeny bit draggy at the end. However, I do love this series overall.

First of all, He Su Ye, the man that you are, you are such a green flag down bad yearning plotting man. He really did all of that, call him the real mastermind of this love story. Never back down, never what?? NEVER MOTHER FUCKING GIVE UP.

Also, Ms. Shen Xi Fan, be a green flag herself too. I love how she processed her own break up and moving on from her ex first before jumping the gun with He Su Ye. I really think that this is a vital thing when to be addressed especially if it is a long-term relationship too.

The chemistry is oozing, for a fluffy drama this has some pretty tease-able spice either way.

missed opportunity with the leads

The premise really started out nicely. But as the series progressed, the main point or storyline got lost.

The series is quite long with 35 episodes, but it felt like the main couple just started their real journey towards the last two episodes. May I also add that they stopped acting like teenagers around the last episode only?! Truly, what a missed opportunity this show was. The main couple really had chemistry and it was a pleasure to see them interact on screen. But their interactions are always so limited and felt lacking towards the end.

It was sad that the secondary couple got more exposure and more couple development than the main leads. While their story wasn’t as exhausted as the main leads, it was still a better told story than the leads…

Great drama - skip second half of episode 40

HEED MY WARNING!!!

I reaaaaally never leave reviews but will just add a warning for this one, in general I loved it, acting, the story, even the evil guys had a reason and some even got character growth, even though the main couple was so slow burn it didn’t bother me…
I loved so very much Duke Su’s sidekicks

But seriously if you see other comments saying to skip everything after minute 31 of episode 40, DO IT

It was so unnecessary, we already had a happy ending, why kill off my 3 favorite characters all at once and in the last 10 minutes of the show

I had read somewhere this had a happy ending so wasn’t expecting this, I got surprised when Liu Ju was killed, caught me totally off guard, I loved him, so then I tried to make peace with it like okay, well Xiao Heng and Wen Ji will take him home… 30 seconds later Wen Ji is massacred with arrows, I literally screamed!! My funny and adorable Wen Ji!!! I wish I had a brother or best friend like him.

Then there was no question what was going to happen to our dearest Xiao Heng… outnumbered … not going back to A’Li after all. The last moments where he met her at the tree were definitely his last delusion before meeting his end, even in a white horse, he never rode white horses, only in the after life it seems.

And seriously that woman deserved happiness with her man after everything she went through, and finally chose the right man…

This will definitely leave me with traumas or either gonna try pretend I never saw those 25 minutes

Shaw Brothers took a slightly different angle from their usual kung fu revenge fare with A Deadly Secret’s story. Instead of a kung fu film with a little bit of tragic romance this film was a tragic romance with a little kung fu mixed in. The love story would need to be stronger than the kung fu, a tall task to accomplish.

Ti Yuen is thrown into the depths of the jail on trumped up charges. His cellmate appears to be a deranged wild man. Every month, Ting Dien is dragged out to the magistrate and viciously tortured. All he needs to do in order to be freed is to tell Ling Tui Si what the Deadly Secret is. Ti Yuen’s sifu is hoping that Ting will break down and tell Ti the big secret if he stays there long enough. Ti can’t figure out why Ting doesn’t break out with his superior kung fu skills and why he cares about the flowers on the window sill they can just see through the bars on their window.

This film had potential but a few puzzling issues dragged it down. The Deadly Secret was both a kung fu secret and the location of the lost treasure of Emperor Liang Wu. Now in order for either of those things to be helpful the person who passed the information to Ting Dien must have done the Vulcan MindMeld on him because the transfer of information was nigh on instantaneous. Everyone assumed that the dying man must have told Ting the info despite Ting being a stranger. Jumping to conclusions was a major pastime for the people of Jingzhou. Soon poor Ting was being hunted by every greedy highborn and lowlife around. The only person not after The Secret was the magistrate’s beautiful daughter, Ling Seung Wa. The two lovers were eventually betrayed by her father whose only desire was for the treasure and he was willing to sacrifice his daughter if that would bring him closer to The Secret. Also, numerous people failed to grasp that actually killing Ting would make it impossible for him to relay The Secret.

Another problem I had with the film was that much of it was filmed in the dark or low lighting. It was hard to follow the action while straining to see. The one fight filmed in daylight ended up being hilarious as a corpse was used in a giant game of “keep away.” The final fight seemed pointless. Chan Dik Hak and Hsu Hsia’s choreography was far from inspired.

Jason Pai and Shih Szu made for a sweet couple when they were shown together. Ng Yuen Jun wasn’t terribly compelling as the naïve Ti and this movie needed all the acting ammo they could wring out with the weak script. There was a story worth exploring buried under a pile of soiled hay and wild hairdos. Greed was shown as the great equalizer between the poor and the rich, for the greedy there was never enough, no life was worth more, and the price was never too high. I bumped my score up just for the karmic payback of the finale. A Deadly Secret wasn’t terrible but it could be deadly dull in places. As always, rated on a curve.

Trigger warning: A rather gruesome torture scene early in the film. Attempted suicide.

It was nice but the version I've watched was a bit choppy and I didn't like that very much.

Still, the story was very enjoyable and the two leads were great together, even the bad characters did well.

The only thing that bothered me is despite the good acting they didn't pull off the whole crippled/blind thing that well, it was a mess dare I say, and that made the whole things even less enjoyable, since it's not a funny drama but rather dramatic.

However, I shall keep an eye on those two leads and their next work cause they were good, the ML reminded me of Pei In from some angles, and the FL is so cute ~

All that potential ruined. I

Is this really a BL story or just a straight drama with a BL couple in the background? Jiho and Sangjun's chemistry and acting were spot on, but it was lost due to a script that didn't give them what they deserved: a well-developed story. Honestly, do these characters know how to talk? I think they weren't made to live in society because they just run away and don't talk about something easily resolvedn in a 5 minutes conversation. I wish the main leads had more screen time, more physical contact, and more couple moments beyond just holding hands on the bus at the last minute. Anyway, great actors, promising plot but poorly executed.
