Sloooow Burn

First, if you don’t like the “brothers” falling for each other but seem okay with the sister getting on with the other brother. There is underlying hypocrisy in your thinking. Second, why are people upset with the age difference ter the brothers but are okay with the sister getting it on with the other much older brother.

This is a heavy hearted series. The mother is a piece of shit. I am not sure if I am the only one but I get the implication that she also sexually advise Qian which is why he’s sexually traumatized and for the most part asexual until he got it on with Zi Yuan.

I did not see Lin with Le but it was a pleasant surprise to see Sam Lin back in a BL even if the relationship is ambiguous.

People had to wait for the cursed episode 11 to get their smexy scene. And boy did the series deliver on it.

I can see why so many people like it in a sea of bad BLs we had this year. But if you’re not into a good storytelling series. This isn’t for you.

"Brotherhood of Hearts: Realistic Romance and Waiting for Love."

Taiwan is doing crazy projects in bl's side like last year and this year with this gem. So, real friends turned into brothers in this series quite coincidence but there romance was top notch in this drama. There are too close to each other and comfortable shooting with the nude scenes as well as romance too! One of the best couple after love for love's sake(KBL series). Their scenes and story is too realistic there is no flaws in this series too. Their characters portray raw emotions which made me cry and laugh with them. I was so angry with san pang but the end he was one who said qian that he also loves yuan too! Qian is so tough character to play he is stubborn and homophobic too but the end of the day, he opened his heart to yuan which made me happy. Yuan was waiting for qian his whole life, i personally felt bad for our yuan till ep 6, everyone are treating him badly and pointing at him like he did something mistake to love qian! After ep 7 we can't handle our yuan's attitude changed and at last he pursue qian in another way to make him love yuan! i loved it personally. I need season 2 for this series or the couple should act in another series. There chemistry was unbeatable and hot too!!

It's giving

Another Taiwanese BL that did not disappoint.

I have not read the novel so I don't know if it stayed true for the most part of the series but it was really great.

I especially loved how the actors acted. They felt really natural; the subtle movements, facial expressions, even their breathing looked natural. The comic elements did not feel forced.

Plot wise, there were parts that I was still confused about. There were scenes that I felt was unnecessary, parts where it could have been delved deeper. But hey, as I said, I have not read the story so I can't say much.

Overall, I can say I did not regret watching it and certainly I would watch it again and again.

Edit on April 26, 2024, 1 day after watching the series...

I finished reading the main story of Da ge and wow I could say that they did not stay true to the novel, like a good 80% is different. I especially dislike that they made Xiao Bao and San Pang a couple in the series. It's creepy, weird, and wrong like dude watched her grow up, even babysat her and they made them a couple?? Xiao Bao in the novel achieved her dreams of becoming a model and an actress, San Pang in the novel met another girl and had a family. I don't understand why they had to change the two's fate and created a weird relationship in the series.

Also, Xian in the novel at least in the beginning was far cold hearted than in the series. Yuan, on the other hand, well, still a loyal and obedient puppy.

And you know what, the relationship between Qian and Yuan, both the novel and the series had the same vague transition from being brothers to lovers. It just kind of happened. And yeah, in the novel, it was Qian who made the first move, while it was Yuan in the series.

bom mas não me apeguei

é sempre interessante acompanhar obras que não seguem um plot convencional de romance pois sempre gera um questionamento nas pessoas que estão assistindo.

sobre a obra em si eu não tenho muito o que falar, comecei a acompanhar os episódios semanalmente mas não me conectei com a história e vim terminar quando todos os episódios já haviam saído. eu reconheço que é uma boa história, que contém bons personagens, uma boa atuação e tem um ritmo bom mas realmente não consegui me apegar a história. apesar de ter algumas ressalvas com o romance que se desenvolve eu acredito que eles fizeram de uma forma que você consegue enxergar a relação que vai além de "irmãos". de um modo geral taiwan sabe muito bem fazer drama e dificilmente vai decepcionar.

Super great acting!

邱宇辰和黄宏轩把魏谦和魏之远给演活了！虽然剪辑不是很满意，但演技我是非常满意的。很棒的演员们，希望他们能越来越好，越来越火！
Have read the book before this show was released, tbh, it's impossible to use 12 episodes to cover all the content in the book. So, I am open to new changes in the drama. The first 8 episodes were very good to me, while the episodes behind were kind of rush. The editing caused the logic to break for some parts, so you may wonder why certain things happen suddenly.
Overall, I still think it was a pretty good drama. I believe it's not just a BL drama, but a drama that portrays a lot of real-life elements. Thankfully, big brother, Wei Qian, has someone who loves him so much, so he can finally live his life for himself.
Lastly, I must say the actors are too good at acting!! Every eye contact, hug and kiss felt so real. Looking forward to see more of Chris' and Kurt's acting!

I was enjoying it until.....then dropped it

WARNING: This is my biased personal review and a rather exceptional one. I am sad because I had to drop this one.

As a BL enthusiast, who watches almost all BLs and specially never miss the Taiwanese ones just because they are soo good, dropping this one was just hurtful. I dropped this series not because it was bad , not because the direction was bad, not because the actors were not upto the par.......?
It's just because the story made me extremely uncomfortable , to keep watching it anymore.

Romanticized relationship between siblings are just really uncomfortable for me to watch. Well, yes it's established that they were not blood related, but how does it matter if blood related or not siblings are siblings right.

Well yes, might have been easier if it was the case for stepbrothers or stepsisters who were of age but in case if it's someone with whom you grew up with(like Yuan and Qian), meant that your relationship was always fake... The question should not be is this okay, the question should be is it right?..The worst part is that what if the other person never reciprocated your feelings, a family is broken , affecting not only them but other members of the family as well.

So, I was wondering if it was right to gamble your family for your feelings and found it really selfish to do so. This is why I just couldn't continue keep watching it anymore.

Overall: It must be a good drama to watch , but you can only watch it if you have no issue with this storyline.

The first few episodes were great but such a confused drama

This drama started out well. Some things seemed implausible but can be forgiven cause it's a drama. It was such a promising concept. The cinematography was good and I thought the first 6 episodes were solid. I picked up the novel because when I started only 4 episodes were out. The characters are flawed but well written in the novel, their love and commitment for the family really shines through.

But the last couple of episodes TANKED HARD. This drama had violent moments so it wasn't as if they made changes to make it more palatable to a larger audience. So I don't understand why they took well written characters and stripped them of any originality. The show's writing really failed the viewers. I absolutely detest episode 10. Just make it not exist please. I don't understand the point of it. There is no rhyme or reason to anything that the characters did in that episode. The writing was god awful. After episode 8, it was as if they had plot points set up but didn't know how to get from one to another. The ending was extremely anti climatic. When the credits started rolling my immediate reaction was- "ha? what just happened? it ended? Just like that?"
