Bai Zong Yi, an exemplary student with dreams of becoming a doctor, is unexpectedly drawn into the world of an injured gangster named Fan Ze Rui. This unexpected encounter disrupts their tranquil routines and sends their lives into a whirlwind. Their initial awkwardness gradually gives way to familiarity and eventually blossoms into a heartfelt connection.

Just as their love story begins to unfold, Fan Ze Rui's criminal past catches up with him.

It's Been A While, Taiwan BLs

I haven't enjoyed a Taiwan BL drama as much as I did with Kiseki in so long. Seriously, this drama scratched the itch that has been around for a very long time. The last time I wholeheartedly loved a Taiwan BL drama was when I watched History3: Trapped, so you can imagine how long that metaphorical itch has been around. Hell, I've rewatched Trapped multiple times just because no Taiwan BL came close to how Trapped made me feel.

Anyhow, lets get on with Kiseki. I might have enjoyed it and maybe I love it, but it is not a perfectly well-done drama. If Kiseki had been given more episodes, or full-length episodes, the flow of the plot could have been much better and smoother. There were times when I thought the drama felt like it was rushing through key plotlines. For example, the whole Aidi going into jail to protect Zongyi from being attacked again and that event that happened right before Aidi went in, it could have had more light shone on it. Additionally, I had hoped for at least one more episode of angst and separation with both couples after the time jump. Of course, because Kiseki was only given 13 30-minutes episodes, I will applaud the writer(s) for how the story played out. It was not perfect but it was not unacceptably bad either.

Moving on to the characters themselves. I will honest here, I decided to follow the release of each episode weekly for Aidi and Chenyi. Going into this drama, I always knew the second lead couple was going to be my favourite. However, what surprised me was how invested I was with Zerui and Zongyi too. I liked the way their relationship developed before the time jump. It was after the time jump that the vibe fell off a little. That part felt rushed, even though it was beautiful, it was rushed. Likewise, I was enjoying the pining and undiscovered feelings between Aidi and Chenyi. Despite absolutely loving this couple, I thought the way the writer(s) wrote Chenyi's feelings for his adoptive father/boss and Aidi was weak. We should have been allowed to see Chenyi's struggle with his feelings. Also, I didn't like how Chenyi explained the difference in what he felt for his adoptive father/boss and Aidi, it was as if the writing became lazy near the end.

Like I said, if only Kiseki was given more time or at least more episodes. Many problems I had with this drama was tied to the lack of development due to the shortage of time. Regardless, the plot holes were not obvious or huge so the show still went on seamlessly.

2023 seem to be the year for Taiwan productions and I am living for it.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)

P.S.: So many cameos and I couldn't get any History3: Trapped ones? This might be my roman empire.

According to Lin Yu-tang, both Po Chu-i and Su Tung-po ‘desperately admired’ Tao Yuan-ming, a poet of nature who wrote a single love poem, a poem thought by Chinese dilettantes to be the one ‘blemish in a white jade’. Can a poet be faulted for calling a woman carelessly perfect in beauty? He chose to long for her by envying the candle that glowed upon her beautiful face, the shadow that followed in her every move. Yet the nature poet Tao Yuan-ming, at home with the sudden turning of seasons, now feared the shadow in darkness, a discarded fan that once stirred her hair, feared the candle at dawn. At last believed that for beauty he had lived in vain.

The Victims’ Game (2020)

Dir. David Chuang & Allen Cheng

TW // suicide, death

⚠️ Spoilers !! ⚠️

tbh i was kinda bored with the first few episodes then when i got to know the characters better, i felt some sort of connection with them ?? like i relate a lot to Hsiao-Meng (Yu-Tung Lee) and Fang Yi Jen’s (Hsiao-chuan Cheng) relationship since their relationship is strained and the person that binded their family together has passed away, leaving them to disconnect. at first, i thought it was Hsiao-Meng’s fault that the Last Wish Murders were happening, turns out it was Li Ya-Jun (Ruby Lin) that was making these things happen.

Li Ya-Jun gives her victims a syringe full of Fentanyl Citrate after granting them their last wish. her victims are mostly people that are losing hope with their friends, family, being accepted, and justice. Li’s first victim was You Cheng-Hao (River Huang), where his/her body was mistaken to be singer, So Ko-yun’s body. his/her body was completely dissolved due to the Pirranha solution that he/she used after overdosing in Fentanyl Citrate. honestly, Hao deserved better, if it wasn’t for Li giving her/him the push to go with what his/her mind was suggesting. (i’m using she/he and he/him pronouns because You Cheng-Hao’s character came out as a transgender woman in the series)

Li’s next victim was So Ko-yun herself, she was last seen wandering around the city before entering an a abandoned building, giving herself a shot of Fentanyl before pouring gasoline all over her body and burning her whole body. unfortunately, the police were too late to prevent the whole situation from escalating. So Ko-yun’s case was honestly so sad because she had a mother that was supportive of her work; her mind was clouded with jealousy over the new singer that her recording studio was recruiting, the lady just wanted to release her album.

i was honestly so frustrated with one of Li’s victims, which was a blind man that had a talent with wood-sculpting and this man’s brother that was taking advantage of his disability and talent for his own good. living in a huge mansion, being given an award for his ‘talent’, and traveling to art conventions in different countries to showcase his work. i was so happy when Hsu Hai-Yin (Tiffany Ann Hsu) exposed the brother’s wrong-doings, i literally love the smell of revenge. sadly, the blind man met his demise because of Li.

the last few episodes where Fang Yi-Jen was confronting Hsiao-Meng about what has been happening to both of them for the past few years made me quite emotional. Hsiao-Meng was in a dark place after being left by her father and having to work as a hostess just to pay for her mother’s hospital bills. i honestly can’t explain it well since i’m not sure how to explain the strained relationship i have with a very close relative but i feel for her, and i’m happy that she’s slowly managing to get better.

Fang Yi-Jen had problems with communicating with other people since he has Aspergers (a developmental disorder characterised by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests), but it felt so bittersweet when he got in touch with his daughter again, althought some would wish for it to happen sooner. the line, “i thought that having a family would make me become the normal person i wanted to be,” struck me the most. i also felt so bad because he thought that doing so would make him “normal”. personally, there’s literally no right definition of “normal” since we have different perspectives of what normal is. Fang Yi-Jen knew he was different, he wanted to be normal, to live a normal life, its nice to see that he finally reconnected with his daughter, even if its in bad or dangerous circumstances.

“what they needed wasn’t the courage to take their lives, but a bit of hope to keep on living.”

this line honestly hit too close to home. what Li did to those people was so unfair and infuriating, she literally did all those things under the illusion that she’s doing it for the better, that granting them their last wish was enough before they died, that there wasn’t any space for improvement anymore.

in conclusion, the episode made me curious, infuriated, and numb lmao. i’ll probably be numb for a couple of hours.. which may turn to days. i like this show though.

thank you for reading !

The event invites Taiwan's technology and art team, IF Plus, along with Lim Giong modern electric music that not only retains traditional Pingtung Manjhou folk music flavor, but also gives it a new flair through superlative sound mixing. 在影像視覺上，來自當若科技藝術 IF+ 四位不同領域的設計師，以各自擅長視覺語彙，轉譯臺灣屏東滿洲意象，配合現場音樂即興編制動態影像，傳遞自由隨性的滿洲風情。 In the visual aspect, four designers from different fields from IF Plus deploy their own visual vocabulary to translate the indigenous imagery of Manjhou Township, in Pingtung, Taiwan, by improvising motion pictures with live music to convey the free and spontaneous spirit of the Manjhou style. using Hundr proprietary metal coating technology from semiconductor processes, an ultra-lightweight Radiax® titanium insulation that retains the body heat and efficiently accelerates body warmth. 設計概念是「Aura Protection」為主軸，將保護的概念融入鐵絲網圖騰以及複合軍用Ripstop紋理呈現隱形立體織紋迷彩，劇情式的融入設計。 The design concept is for resilient "Aura Protection", incorporating the concept of protection into the wire mesh totem and replicating the military Ripstop texture creating an invisible three-dimensional weave camouflage, for a highly dramatic integration into the design. Aura是一層圍繞著人體不可視的生物波形磁場，類比一種服裝般成為意識的延伸，在oqLiq宇宙中的 final home探討的一種價值觀，設想虛無中如何重建以及如何取捨所謂真正重要的，自我保護的概念正如同盔甲一般，正如同罡氣拆解四正二字，論述一種浩然正氣，如同靈魂一般可貴的能量場，就像進化一般，是信念，是保護的。 Aura is a magnetic field of invisible biological waveforms surrounding the human body, analogous to a garment becoming an extension of our consciousness, a value explored in the final home of the oqLiq universe, envisioning how to rebuild in the void and how to choose what is really most important, and the concept of self-protection is just like armor, or the Asian proverb for dismantling and deconstructing the Mandarin character for “Building Qi” into the phrase “Carpe Diem in all ways”, discussing a form of righteousness, as the soul’s precious energy field, evolves outward, in belief and as protection. 氣場如同一個隱形的鐵絲網呈現一種守護圖騰，而本季經典複合紋理為考究軍方的RIPSTOP抗撕裂用布，以各種組合的RIPSTOP組合成隱形迷彩去投射本季整體保護的概念，貫穿主題。 The Qi field resembles an invisible wire mesh presenting a protective totem, and this season's classic composite texture is the military's RIPSTOP tear-resistant fabric, using various combinations of RIPSTOP to form an invisible camouflage to holistically project the season's overall protection concept throughout the unified theme. 特別介紹本次後台團隊大多來自於台灣，保養品牌Dr.Cink贊助旅紐約彩妝師Jonathan Wu帶領make up team參與這次盛會，在後台髮型部份，則是由台灣新一代知名髮廊TiＡＭ贊助台灣髮型師Weic Lin 帶領此次的髮型團隊輝煌後台。 A special introduction is warranted for the backstage team who are mostly from Taiwan.
