BL and not bromance
Okay how do i even start. Firstly, the story/plot I would say is good not remarkable but good. The entire plot revolves around this revenge of Wen Ke Xing. What I love about the plot the most is the overall character development. Like Zhou Zhi Shu, a man with stoic and cold expressions who preferred duty over love took a U-turn. As the episodes progess you start seeing the beauty of Zho Zhi Shu as the man starts to smile, tease and show his vulnerable side. In the end he preferred his soulmate over anything. That was a huge ass development in his character as you get to see his soft side, his emotional side, his loving and teasing nature. You just keep on falling in love with this man with every passing episode. The other one is Wen Ke Xing who yet again was a flirt in the beginning and would never talk about his past or cry too began to open up to his A-Xu and cried. A-Xu illuminated his world with light, showed him the path and finally was able to show him the right direction that Wen Ken Xing lacked. They started with bickering and ended with willingness to die for each other. Other one is Scorpion, the guy who was so much deluded by what his father said, did what his father commanded ended up plotting against his own father. Secondly, OST. Oh god! I for even once never skipped the opening music. It is really good and so is the ending song. Now everytime I will be hearing it I am gonna be bombarded with all these memories of this show. Acting was really flawless. Even that father's acting was so remarkable that I couldn't like him for once. His acting was amazing and so was of all other side characters. I especially loved Zhang Zhe Han's acting. Why? Because of tiny gestures and details that he showed in his expressions even when he did not have his dialogue. His entire posture, expressions, silliness, coldness, anger, pain, smile, affection was so raw. His character was not expressive as that of Wen Ke Xing. But even without that this man was able to convey every emotion. Everytime he smiled i felt like it's not Wen Ke Xing's life that's being illuminated but my own. It was all so innocent. What I love the most is that they are anti-heroes, grey chars and not the typical white and black. The have done bad deeds infact loads of bad deeds but it is the heart that matters, right? And also, my innocent Cao Wei Ning is a very tender and down to earth simple man who fell in love with this stupid, destructive, loving and affectionate woman, A-Xiang. Their love was so beautiful. After watching BLs I thought I no longer liked hetro love but these two brought me back to my senses by displaying how beautiful it too can be. It is completely rewatchable. Why? Because even when I was so behind, already knew what was going to happen in coming episodes and even watched without subs I still waited everyday patiently to watch it. That's how much thrilled I was. SO DO WATCH THIS SHOW AND FALL IN LOVE WITH ALL THE CHARACTERS!!!
