Best drama of 2021
I wouldn’t suggest watching the trailer because I watched it after I already start the drama and the trailer is confusing.... that’s just my opinion.The first half of the first episode started a bit slow and dark but it will give you a great idea of the main character.
If you know Zhang Zhehan from other dramas, he always plays more of a quiet and strict character which is the opposite of his real personality. When he plays Zhou Zishu’s role, he brought out the perfect Zhou Zishu, quiet, smart, gentle, and harsh words but soft at heart. His acting is so on point, he uses his eyes, his actions, and his words to express the character in ways that you feel like he’s the real Zhou Zishu and not Zhang Zhehan anymore. His emotional scenes feel so realistic that my heart hurts for him.
Gong Jun always play the shameless flirt character in his dramas, but for this drama, Wen Kexin brings a deeper meaning than just shameless and flirty. One moment he would look at Zhou Zishu with so much vulnerability and sadness, the moment Zhou Zishu turn his back, Wen Kexin’s emotions change 180 degrees and turn back into the Lord of Ghosts that wanted to get rid of all the evil in the martial arts world.
Both actors have such amazing chemistry, flirtiness, and emotions for one another it was like they are Zhou Zishu and Wen Kexin and they were made for each other. Their trust and bond are deeper than words can express but these actors played it out so beautifully.
Every episode explores new hidden secrets and how they help one another through the tough times.
Lastly, I gotta give the most credit to the scriptwriter, China is very strict with their censorship and anything with BL content will not be able to air. The scriptwriter found ways around it by adding subtle hints in every scene and I had so much fun reading and finding out the subtle hints that other viewers have noticed. Many viewers who can read lips have posted about what the actor had actually said but later had to change due to censorship.
I'll drop a few scenarios below but it won't be a spoiler for anybody, a matter of fact if you decide to watch it I hope it will help you noticed and understand those scenes better.
1. In one scene where Wen Kexin cut the bloodied sleeve off of Zhou Zishu, cut-sleeve in china means homosexual.
2. One scene where A Xiang grilling the pancakes and put 2 pancakes together, means s*x.
3. When somebody put a hairpin in somebody else hair means they are married
4. One scene where the actor actually said "you are my person" but it got changed to "just hold your breath"
If I can give 15/10 for this drama I would. I literally watched it without any subtitles the moment it came out because I just couldn’t wait to see what happen next even though I won’t understand anything. Then I rewatched it with Vietnamese subtitles which I had to paused and read slowly every sentence and let the information sync in. Then I rewatched it again with English subtitles because I just want to make sure I didn’t miss any information through translation.
All I have to say is this drama is the best in 2021

Beautiful series
I have a lot to say about this series but I won’t, since you’ve prob seen a lot of people reviewing it. To me, this is the #1 BL series out of the ones I’ve seen. Their chemistry is out of this world, so natural and so genuine. Their love got the whole world praising and fighting for them. Enough said, You should just watch it for yourself and decide. No spoilers but I’ll list the amazing things this BL series did.They broke the record of:
• Most kiss scene in BL history (33 kiss scenes)
•No cliche BL trope
•Declare that there are versatile
couples out there
•GL and a great supporting female
friend instead of putting a female in to
break the couple.
•No awkward moments
