Xiang Long (2018)

Funny But really stupid non logical Bromance drama

I watched it for the Bromance but I found it really silly , not coherent or logical but still it had it's funny scenes that made me laugh a lot
It wasn't comedy but it had it's really funny scenes
the story was a mess ,, You can't even follow who wants to kill whom or why ?
Killing people in this drama is just ridiculous ,, there was one scene were the male lead killed two soldiers just because he wanted his friend to eat his meal
The insane second main lead was crazy with no conscious or cell of brain in his head
they started portraying the first main lead as the smartest person but him staying with this idiot wasn't smart at all
he didn't even avenge his family or did anything for that matter
I don't know if this drama was just for Bromance sake only or what
I didn't see them real friends but rarely
How can a friend whip his friend or take his enemy as his ally just because he was angry at him ?
It was really abusive relationship
even the one he married he took her by force ,, she doesn't love her
for one I feel sorry for the female character here
I don't recommend this drama to anyone
waste of time
may be for a laugh only with some bromance you can watch it

Starts good but is frustrating throughout to watch

When the episode first started, I had high expectations for this series.

The revenge plot seems interesting and Yang Hao Ming's acting is amazing- I was impressed and it was my first time seeing him in a tv show (and no, I did not know him from anywhere before). He is intelligent and cunning. So, I had high expectations until Long Xiang appeared. ong was one of the characters that made this show hard too watch. He is spoiled, arrogant, dumb and had no regards for his subordinates' lives (even Yaya, whom he is closest with). While very toxic, I could still tolerate him if he is still intelligent, but no- this guy is reckless and dumb, which causes the show to fall into a drain for me. And no, he does not get redeemed.

While the bromance moments are interesting, I can't help but feel it's extremely toxic and one-sided. I was expecting a show with a lot of tactics and strategy, but the show is just about Long and his dumbness and how everyone around him tolerates his behavior and do not admonish him. Everyone around him is an enabler, and far from having a character development, he still ends up that way and everyone encourages that behavior (including his father and Yaya).

I worry for the Long family's future if he is to succeed the family. As for the acting, Yang Hao Ming's acting is really good, and so is the actress who plays Yaya. Some others are just over-the-top. I hope that the story had focused more on the revenge on the Man family, which seemed to have been forgotten over the series.
