Rants and Weekly Raves (RAWR) #463


Anne: Good day Drama Lovers! I’ve not posted for just a few weeks. The time is slipping actually shortly from week to week. Final Monday, I used to be with 3 different adults and 1 seven 12 months previous as we stared at a cloud lined sky, hoping for a peek if and when the clouds would half just a little.

This was the final peak of the eclipse earlier than the cloud utterly obscured the little little bit of solar we might see. At the least the sunshine was nonetheless seen via the clouds, so we noticed the darkness fall. We did not go very far and was ready for the cloud cowl, so it wasn’t sudden. The expertise was nonetheless fairly okay.

Now, let’s take a fast take a look at the dramas…


In Blossom

The saddest factor about this entire whole drama was the loss of life of our 2nd ML, who ended up discovering somebody who cherished him as a lot as he cherished Cai Wei. Even on the finish, I’m nonetheless not satisfied that Zhou Lan Jiang cherished Bai Xiao Sheng. I am fairly certain he favored her sufficient. I am considering that if he did stay, he would have spent his life making an attempt to make it as much as Bai Xiao Sheng, however by no means having the ability to love her the way in which he cherished Cai Wei. At the least our third CP, A Ze and Ling Er ended collectively. So it wasn’t all a bust.

The circumstances and the reveal of the key group was truly carried out fairly nicely. Whereas nothing, with a handful of exceptions, was too beautiful, many of the plot flowed with sufficient rationality to the top. The loss of life of Bai Xiao Sheng’s father, and that entire scene with Pan Yue, was a bit overdone, however certain… I will purchase it. 

One final take a look at these two males who completely didn’t care that the room was burning round them (which you’ll’t see if proper now for the reason that hearth has simply began, apparently it takes some time for all that wooden to catch hearth…). 

My favourite character is A Ze, who is filled with recommendation for his grasp when Pan Yue runs into points with Cai Wei/Shangguan Zhi. 

A Ze who’s all the time filled with confidence when allotting his recommendation… Like beneath the place  he giving recommendation to Pan Yue to assist him determine the that means behind Shangguan Zhi’s “actions”…

A Ze all the time finally ends up giving the worst recommendation…as he inform his grasp that Cai Wei clearly does not like him…

…and this finally ends up with with Pan Yue kicking him for not saying the issues that Pan Yue desires to listen to. 

But when I have been to inform the reality, I like A Ze’s recommendation although…simply to see Pan Yue get his panties up in a twist….hahahaha….

Now… what’s with the ending?

Are we heading for season 2? And what else are we going to do with a season 2? They cannot spent that a lot time to search out out who’s #1.

I’ve seen a handful of dialogue threads on-line. Does that hand LOOK prefer it belonged to somebody who’s even OLD sufficient to have began this when Pan Yue was a toddler?! Um… I do not want a second season, I simply want one episode to shut this loop!

Now, if anybody have any guesses, let me know. 


Unknown

Episode 9 was simply aired…and it’s kind of lackluster… Why on this planet did Wei Zhi Yuan assume that he was able to “dealing with” his brother’s gang members when he cannot even struggle! Significantly?! For a second, I believed Zhi Yuan had some approach to “deal with” the gang, however all he did was put himself into hazard, inflicting Wei Qian having to go “save” him. Sigh…

I am glad Xiao Bao and San Pang acquired collectively. Wei Qian is not thrilled about it, which is comprehensible, however I believe he was upset for not being informed straight as an alternative of seeing the hickeys. Not a great way to get this information if you’re the older brother.


So…this began my week lengthy binge watching of the Korean BL dramas on iQiyi… In case anybody has not watch any of those…

Jazz for Two (2024) 

This story is about Han Tae Yi, who’s affected by despair after the suicide of his older brother, and Se Heon, who’s from a classical piano household who’s overshadowed by a extra achieved older brother and a demanding father. Tae Yi and Se Heon get off to a tough begin as a result of Se Heon reminds Tae Yi of his lifeless brother when he performs the piano. The love of jazz introduced them collectively. However they ended realizing that Se Heon’s older brother was not directly the rationale why Tae Yi’s brother dedicated suicide. And the present did have not less than one good kissing scene on the finish..it was an fascinating story and I do just like the soundtrack. The one factor I don’t like, that bizarre factor with Do Yoon appearing as a punching bag for Joo Ha. The home violence acceptance is simply odd.

A Breeze of Love (2023)

This subsequent drama is one other BL romance in a college setting, faculty on this case. Do Hyun is a boy obsessive about basketball. When their staff is brief one participant, his staff mate, Hye In, drags in a highschool buddy of hers, Dong Wook, to hitch the staff. Sadly, Do Hyun, who confessed to Dong Wook throughout their highschool years, was not completely satisfied that the one that rejected him 3 years in the past, is again in his life. For Dong Wook, who caught so near Do Hyun of their highschool years, solely did so partly because of the unusual impact Do Hyun had on his sleeping habits.


After some cohabitation hijinks, some basketball challenges, some extra misunderstandings, they cleared the air, and Dong Wook lastly confessed that his earlier rejection was because of his personal private points. The story is sort of good, and the ending has an important tease.

Love for Love’s Sake (2024)

The subsequent present is a recreation transport drama plot. Tae Myung Ha is reviewing a narrative that his buddy has written, and he does not prefer it. He says that the character of Cha Yeo Woon is the saddest particular person within the novel, as a result of he was probably the most depressing. His buddy asks if he’ll change Yeo Woon destiny. And the following factor he is aware of, Myung Ha is within the “recreation” of the novel. He will get all these prompts. And he realizes that he has to boost Yeo Woon’s favorability in the direction of him. And if he enters the “Love Supremacy Zone”, which is a radius of a sure distance (I forgot what it was) round Yeo Woon, when Yeo Woon has a adverse score in opposition to him, one thing unhealthy occurs to Yeo Woon. When Myung Han “saves” Yeo Woon from committing suicide, his rapid subsequent mission is to “make Yeo Woon completely satisfied”.  

As the sport progresses, there are aspect missions all associated to Yeo Woon. In direction of the top, the system places a penalty and a deadline for Myung Ha to make Yeo Woon “Glad”, and if he does not accomplish this objective throughout the time, the penalty is loss of life. When he had to select between his grandma or Yeo Woon, he precipitated an error within the system, and Myung Ha will get “erased” from the world. For Yeo Woon, the following few days was complicated as a result of every little thing else remained the identical, together with the extra mates he has made throughout his time with Myung Ha. 

When Yeo Woon remembers, he finds the pen that might permit him to make the modifications he need in his life, and now it’s Yeo Woon who sees the sport “prompts”. After which we see Myung Ha and what actually occurred in his life. As he’s dying (after drowning himself), he regretted the selection he made. The “recreation” was a solution to educate Myung Ha to like himself, which might make him completely satisfied. Then every little thing strikes again into the sport world, and brings him again to Yeo Woon.

I LOVED this present. The “recreation” world was a visible demonstration of the occasions that might make one completely satisfied.  

I did watch just a few extra Korean BLs, however let’s finish on the up be aware of the final present, which might be one in every of greatest drama plots of this style not too long ago. 


I need to depart everybody with one final advice. It is a a type of YouTube quick dramas, and this is likely one of the greatest plots that I’ve seen. It is alongside the identical strains as Devoted, however it’s far more condensed so the “revenge” half occurs so much quicker. I’ve copied the YouTube hyperlink beneath. 

The one downside I’ve with these dramas is the subtitles are sometimes machine generated. I watch a number of these, however that is in all probability, arms down, probably the greatest revenge plots for this platform. Merely, it’s the story of a lady who designed her life to get herself married into a specific home so as to revenge her sister. The depiction of life within the harem, the lives of the lady and ladies inside this surroundings, will hit the viewers on a number of totally different ranges. There is no such thing as a romance. The ML, as in Devoted, is the villain hiding behind a masks of respectability. The FL is sensible, has no illusions of the individuals she’s coping with, and he or she is sensible together with her plan. LOVE this present.


Here is hoping everybody has an important week. And did anybody begin Blossoms in Adversity? I’ve acquired this on my record however I’ve been simply aspect tracked these days. Finest Alternative Ever, I actually need to watch this as a result of it has my favourite actors as leads…however the plot simply sounds SOOOOOO boring. (Was that too many Os?) So… I have not been in a position to begin it but. And what number of Sword and Fairy dramas are there this 12 months?! It looks like not less than 3 aired throughout the final month!  I can not sustain anymore apparently.
