15 Day BL Challenge! Part 2!

Day 17: What's your most returned-to / comfort BL show?

Part 1 post found here and part 2 post found here

Love In The Air is probably my most returned to show. Specifically episodes 10 and 11. What can I say. I love my boys. I love Prapai and I love Sky and I love their love story. While they don’t start off in the best of places, the devotion they have to each other by the end is amazing and I love it so much.

Cherry Blossoms After Winter is another show I rewatch often. I do not talk about how much I love this show enough. It’s story is simple and doesn’t waste your time with unnecessary drama or characters. It’s just two boys falling in love and wanting to be happy while navigating their last year of high school and into university.

HIStory 1 is another I rewatch entirely too much. Is their relationship toxic and fucked up? Yes, yes it is. Do I care? Not particularly. I love the idea of their love being inevitable. Something Shao Yi Chen can’t run away from and ultimately isn’t sure he even wants to. So instead he decides to dive back in head first, this time with his eyes open and the knowledge he has from his past life.

THE LEGEND OF ZHUOHUA

I think I've fallen in love with this CDrama. It reminds me so much of "Saiunkoku Monogatari", especially the heroine, Mu Zhuohua (played by Jing Tian), whose personality is very much like Kuo Shuurei.

Mu Zhuohua (whose real name is Mu Qi) is the daughter of a rich merchant from the province. Her mother was a former courtesan and one of the lower-ranked concubines of her father so she's treated with disdain by most of her family. Qi is intelligent and decides to escape a promised marriage between her and one of the provincial officials so she can pursue her dreams of becoming an imperial court official.

She travels to the capital and lives among the courtesans, serving as their physician due to the medical skills she had acquired growing up. In one of her errands to see to the medical needs of some courtesans, she encounters Lord Ding, Liu Yan (Feng Shao Feng).

Lord Ding is the younger brother of the Emperor and known as the War God of Southern Chen due to his prowess on the battlefield. However, the last battle that he led had ended in a devastating loss of 30,000 men, which he suspects is due to someone leaking highly confidential battle strategies to the enemy. Lord Ding is trying to investigate the matter even as he supports his brother, the Emperor, in ruling the nation.

Their chance encounter somehow leads to them being entangled in each other's affairs, despite their reluctance. Lord Ding's enemies try to use Zhuohua against him and he's left with no choice but to protect her. For her part, Zhuohua sees in Lord Ding a patron who can help improve her chances of getting into the imperial civil service exam and realizing her dreams. They somehow end up supporting each other along the way, and in the process find themselves unexpectedly falling in love.

What I like about this drama is that the heroine isn't some damsel in distress, she isn't a warrior, nor does she have supernatural powers. She's just an ordinary young woman with big dreams and she uses her intelligence and talents to achieve her goals. The hero, on the other hand, isn't some mighty warrior-god who slays his enemies but a man who has suffered defeat and betrayal at the hands of those whom he trusted most. For all intents and purposes, they are regular people living in ancient China.

It's quite refreshing to watch a xanxia that doesn't have heroes and heroines and immortals flying all over the place. And I must say the actor and actress portraying the roles of Zhuohua and Lord Ding are just lovely to watch and have great chemistry together.

Lord Ding took some time to grow on me because he first came off as very stern and cold, which made the difference in their ages more apparent. But the gradual softening of his character and personality as he slowly falls for Zhuohua changes his overall demeanor, so that when you finally see him smile, you realize that he is actually a handsome man.

Zhuohua, on the other hand, has a look that's both charming and witty yet intelligent and resourceful. She's quite beautiful but she isn't fully aware of her own physical beauty, because she's more concerned about developing her abilities and talents and achieving her dreams. And her emotional maturity is very apparent so that you don't question why she ends up choosing someone like Lord Ding, who's far older than her, over all the young men around her.

I hope I can find more CDramas similar to this one. I'm not averse to fantasy xanxias but it's quite refreshing to watch characters who are ordinary people.

Mr. Bad. 9

Story: 10

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10 🔥

Comparable to: Lost Romance (Taiwanese) Goblin (kdrama); Romance of Tiger and Rose (kdrama); Extraordinary You (kdrama)

Really really really far fetched far out there fantasy drama, but sooooooooo good, especially if you love cheesy fluffy fairytale ones. The chemistry between the main leads were oozing with smexy goodness. It has bucket loads of hilarity and some heartwarming moments too. My only complaint is that sometimes it got a bit annoying when they focus on the secondary couple too much. Other then that this has to be one of my top favorite cdramas.
