[Review & Rating]
A League of Nobleman = A League of Pretty Robed Boys.
BL or bromance? You can say this isn’t BL and it is why this can air with the (now soft?) ban. But if this isn’t BL, well it’s trampling all over the bromantic line. So many ships. However, I think any ship is more popular than Jing Bo Ran and Song Wei Long. Womp. I personally like them together. Although I don’t crave BL, it was fun spotting the potential BL moments.
Eerily creepy and strikingly beautiful. It’s one of the two main reasons I enjoyed the drama. They die so beautifully. The visual glory compensates for the case-solving, which isn’t the drama’s forte. The gradual reveal of the past is more engrossing.
The other main reason: Jing Bo Ran. (His long hair!)
Song Wei Long gets the most flak for his acting, and I do see his limit, but his limit happens to be enough for me to enjoy his one track mind character. He’s not the be-all and end-all.
Wang Duo commands the last third of the drama.
Hong Yao has his moments too (and is probably the most shippable with Jing Bo Ran’s character. But I am boring: if I ship, I ship main characters).
Lan Jue was morally gray in the beginning (not for me, ofc. Jing Bo Ran <3). Eventually, he’s caught between Zhang Ping’s goodness (nobility) and Qing Zhang’s evilness (“ignobility”). I think it’s deliberate that the Zhangs are reversed in their names (different Zhangs, though). Ultimately, Lan Jue chose nobility. He went off rails twice in the drama. The first time Zhang Ping (via the cat) helped him recover. The second time, Lan Jue was able to truly embody nobility like his father taught him.
Shu Lin.
Shu Lin (Gu Qing Zhang) is wronged, and that is why I pity him (despite his murder spree). His truth was never revealed. He died as the imposter prince when he was the real prince. Zhang Ping, our truth seeker, kept his birth secret in the dark for the greater good.
Shu Lin died three times. When he was an infant, he died as the crown prince. When he found out it was his mother who wanted to execute him, his heart died (the time when he drank with Lan Jue and then disappeared). When he completed his revenge and heard his little name from his mother, he died one more time for the very last time. It’s like he never existed.
I like how it was the lighting clouds that saved Shu Lin and it was the rain clouds that saved Shu Lin’s murder spree. (Do not ask me whether salt can attract rain. Some Google sources say yes.)
Censorship
HAHA. They made Lan Jue have a kid in the end!!!! His wife apparently died. You can tell it’s for censorship because there’s NO mouth movement with those lines. It’s all voiceover. Well they also say the kid is grown up and Lan Jue is a free man. Time for some noodles with Zhang Ping? Or tea time with Mo Wen?
