Already My Favorite Drama from 2021
Truthfully I am blown away by this drama. I never expected too much from the trailers but it has exceeded all my expectations. Xiao Zhan's acting skills (mainly the ability to convey his emotions through his eyes and facial expressions) drew me into each and every scene. I am a bromance addict and the brotherly bond between the two main characters is off the charts. I love how they are off to a rocky start and begrudgingly care for each other when they are injured/ill. Xiao Zhan is intense, bookwormish, fearless, stubborn, and calmly resolute. I can't imagine anyone not being drawn to his role. I have rewatched scenes that gave me a lump in my throat and became teary eyed with Gu Yi Ye's desperation as he stood at attention, begging for an audience with his superior until he passed out. I catch myself holding my breath as the episode's ending scene fades. To me, the drama does not have to be perfect or the special effects flawless. I judge it for raw, honest emotions. Subtle gestures. Meaningful characters. Gazes that convey a dozen feelings. If you're my kind of emotional junkie then is definitely a must watch. XOXOVond je deze recentie nuttig?

Bromance and Bromance
What a rare gem! One of those shows that I passed over countless times while wading through other more hyped dramas. This gave me an abundance of laughs and feels! Also my trademark lingering fondness for the "world" and characters which I attribute to the best shows. I didn't see this as purely comedic value as there were plenty more of my favorite dishes served, DRAMA, EMOTIONAL TURMOIL, BROMANCE. What a delightful watch, of course I will be rewatching!Jack Lok really helped to make this drama for me. I had never heard of him until he appeared as a side character in I've Fallen for You but that series didn't show his acting off like Drama King. Zhao Qing Feng's long, steady, melancholy gazes stole the show. I loved the cold and sarcastic older brother with a hidden heart of gold meets adorkable, righteous and naive younger brother. The constant back and forth of betrayal/guilt/brotherly bonds is enough to keep me glued to my phone for a two day marathon.
Is it the best drama in terms of this or that professional ratings? No. But, frankly, I do not care. Emotional investment in the characters is everything to me.
