One of the best drama ever made.

I have so much to say about this drama because it was that good. If I start ranting then it would coherent as I am overwhelmed with emotions. So let's just list 5 things why this was one of the best dramas every made and why you should not miss out on it!

1)Storyline
There is a not a moment in this drama you would want to skip. I am a kind of person who is ten second jump watcher to keep the story going but once in a while I will find a gem like drama which captures me so much so that I don't skip a second. MLC has pace, intrigue, action, interesting characters, both good and bad. It feels like you are right there with characters solving the mysteries. And those epic reveals, twists and hero entries will make you yelp in delight. I promise some of the reveals will make your jaw drop.

2)Bromance/The trio
Cheng Yi is a superb actor. He shines in his role and thank the lords that we get to hear his og voice. He is amazing as Xangyi but even better as Lianhua. He is beautiful when he cries, stunning when he fights and witty we solves crimes. He is that character no one could hate. His sassy intelligent role is one of the smartest characters I have seen in C-Dramas. No one could have played this better than CY. You can going to feel every emotion our Lianhua will feel, trust me on that.

But we all know CY is great. What was incredible is Zeng made his mark with his strong presence. Now as much as I love CY, character wise, Duo Bing was my favorite character. He is smart, loyal, caring, upright and the best version of his talented master, Xangyi. His character growth is incredible and by the end of it you will realise he is worth all the good that comes his way. The chemistry between Master and Disciple is incredible, they bicker, solve crimes together and bicker more but when it comes to understanding, they understand each other better than a soulmate would.

And finally our Director Di. The way that guy cared for Li Xangyi was more than any male lead would care for his female lead. For him everyone could die except LX. And in the end it's clear it was not just the matter of battle or power position for him. He even warmed up to Duobing. I honestly cried at their friendship.

3)Intelligent characters
We don't have bumbling fools just for the sake of comedy or clumsy good guys who mistakenly put heros in danger. We have super smart characters who will look for evidence right and left and not just blindly believe everything. FDB, LLH and DFS are obviously the smartest but let me mention how incredible the princess is or FDB's whole family, even SuXiao who I was hoping could join the squad. Hats off to the vilains to who matched the intelligence level of good side though GuDao was super petty guy.

4)The cases
Let's just say they cases are incredibly interesting and LLH and FDB gives us all Sherlock/Watson vibes. The way they uncover the most paranormal case and make it make sense that it was indeed just normal will leave you in awe.

5)The fighting scenes
I need to highlight the battles scenes done impeccably. The Li Xangyi prowess era is so good to watch, but when LLH suddenly goes from being just a miracle physician to the man underneath the wits, that gets us hyped and cheering. Then there is FDB in second half of the show who is incredibly talented and his later fight scenes are incredible. I am so happy that LX left his legacy to a guy like him.

P.S. Do not come looking for romance or happy go lucky stuff. If you like a serious good watch with strong production, acting and story, this one is for you. And if you are Cheng Yi admirer like I am, his is INCREDIBLE in this! GO for it!

Acting wise this was sooo well done!!! Zi yu was definitely my favorite character because we need more good kind heroes. Esther surprised me with her acting here, i cant handle the too sweet heroines which was unfortunately her past character. She was amazing in this!

Another amazing character was GSJ. He was so charismatic in this role. I was not very big fan of the second couple, because I cant handle that kind of toxic relationship but they acted out that part well. SQ potrayed assassin very well, her smiles is so calculative and her eyes are expressive.

The flaw was the ending!!! That was so unsatisfactory and i cried for elder Gong Brothers! Also keep tissues ready for the series because it will wrench your heart out!!

Very Charming cast with flawed storyline

I am going to very honest and say it out here, in my opinion this show was carried by Nanon.
The set up was very intriguing, a hidden bar with mysterious men offering a night of joy to women. Obviously they are playboys and handsome and also gentlemen in their own way. But the story for each character is not that engaging. My heart was taken by Naanfah and Naannam story and the mystery that was brought my Pine's pairing. I was not a fan of Hack and Irin or Florence or Nathee. Phetai's story could have been better because that pair had chemistry but they were very quickly wrapped up. But the bartender Hunter's presence is definitely very alluring, what disappoints but him is his very sad backstory. Actresses did a fine job but no one leaves a lasting impression except August.

Now the main reason to watch this is Nanon. I am soooo glad they put him in double role. Reminds me of Gun in Not Me. GMMTV know who their strongest actors are. And the way he play two characters well, you can recognise them easily by the way he carries each of them differently, expressions, smiles, way of walking talking and whole demeanour is masterfully done by Nanon. Both the brothers are kind of conman and liars and the way Nanon is using his smile is supposed to be illegal. Whenever he is on screen, he captures your attention over other characters.

Special mention to Mix and Off, because these two also did very well. I wish Mix had more backstory. But these two very also very convincing in their roles.

Watch this ! For gorgeous FLs and MLs, for charming bad boys falling in love and definitely for Nanon.

Extraordinary storyline and great acting

Prepare to get your heart broken into million pieces and your mind baffled at the fantasy world. If you are looking for fantasy, great games and riddles mysteries to solve, thrill and most importantly amazing bromance. This is for you.
The phenomenal idea of making a VR game which allows you to pass doors but makes the dangers real is so well done. The game is upgraded jumanji with technology. Each gate mystery is excellent and the way leads are smart and handle them is a delight to watch.

The show stealer is the chemistry though. Ruan Lanzhu and Lingling dont even hug but every hidden glances, nuances in their conversation and promises made to each other is more than a kiss or hug could convey. And Ruan is sooo damn transparent with his emotions that you will swoon.

Watch it!!! Or you will regret missing out on a great creation.

FirstKhao chemistry is out of the world!

Watch it! Trust me. Just ignore the statements about weak storyline because honestly its not the strongest. But watch this for FirstKhao. They are both brilliant actors. Usually in BL there are actors who are there because they are just pretty or can moderately act.
But these two are real deal. The way they flirt will send butterflies thrashing in your stomach, there eyes, there expressions everything is perfect! They have THE most genuine chemistry on BLs i have ever seen and i have almost seen all pairs atp. I need these two have atleast 20 more shows together.

No comments on the story though. Its not the best but its still alright.

Solid Acting and toxic relationships.

This was a RIDE!!! Kind of a guilty pleasure series filled with toxic characters and messed up relationships. But the actors did a splendid job. Since the series did not have a unique storyline or anything, the acting was holding it up. Display of emotions are done excellently and i am right there with them when the characters are hurt or heartbroken. I almost liked all the couples but i absolutely ADORED FirstKhao pair because these two were magical. And damn those smiles First had were the star of the show.

The character that took my heart and will hold it forever was Sand. I cried for him, fell in love with him and just whole-heartedly wished for his happiness. What he and Ray had was magic and the way he cared for broken Ray was worth watching.

Highly recommend!

One of the best BLs to exist.

This was almost perfect. Because honestly nowadays we come across more lust focused or slightly overdone and cringe thai BLs and it makes me sad. But this was such a delight to watch. This was the most naturally done enemies to lovers and how their relationship grow over time. Their chemistry is everything and those damn eye looks were well done. Its makes you smile and cry for these two rivals turned to lovers and we can see it from day one because thats how they are towards each other!

The actors are so naturally comfortable with each other that sometimes you forget this is not real. Nanon is such an expert with expressions, its brilliant. Definitely watch this one for enemies to lovers, friendships, banter and beautiful chemistry. I wish something this profound is created again.
