I was really hesitant to watch this drama but I watched every bromance drama that came out so I must watch this one
I'm not into classic chinese opera to be honest and I thought it would bore me out and it did unfortunately at first they made a twenty episodes or so of how cruel and hard the opera singer's life can be and you can measure it to any Idol's now in some ways ,,, I didn't care much about the opera life to be honest but I cared about How much the first male lead the chinese business man took interest in the opera singer from first sight just because he reminded him of his mother who left him when he was a child ,, he has a trauma about his mother's leaving and when he saw the opera singer dressed as female characters his mother used to play for him he just fell in love and became kind of obsessed but he also liked the man behind the disguise not just the character
It was love definitely love for the opera singer especially when he was wearing the female characters but it was deep friendship when he was himself crazy innocent naive opera singer
I can describe their relationship as soulmates nothing less than that
I find the last ten episodes of the drama are the best Bromance manifestation or the best declaration of love by actions not actual physical or sexual actions ,, no way ,, I find their love pure of any sexuality or lust especially for the opera singer he wasn't interested in sex as It was portrayed ,, and for the Businessman it was complicated but really really deep
he just lived for his best friend then family
I can't say enough about how I feel for this story and it's character
I loved the actors so much especially the first male lead he was so kind , gentle and loving with amazing personality
The opera singer's actor (didn't memorize their names ) was amazing and worked really hard to play such difficult layered insane talented character
Overall I recommend this drama to any one who loves Bromance dramas and can stand watching Classic chinese opera life because it was draggy and boring at first twenty episodes but bearable because of the male leads
Don't worry about the open ending it's satisfying not disappointing ,, it leaves you with hope
