17. Beloved Enemy
Chinese Drama - 2017, 15 episodes
- Adapted from a danmei (chinese BL) novel.
- Censored romance.
- Drama's story was good enough to hook me up but last three episodes were awful.
- If you like danmei I recommend to read the novel, drama chops the entire story and changes it to a business view with hints of heterosexual relationships that didn't exist in the original source.
- Drama keeps the main events from the novel (spoilers): Gu Qing Pei meets Yuan Yang, Yuan Yang films them without Gu Qing Pei knowing, laptop gets stolen, video is leaked and Yuan Yang and Gu Qing Pei break apart.
- I read it after finished the drama, so I really enjoyed it as two different things (because novel has a whole different story).
