I'm curious OP, what's the level of gay? And are you watching it on Netflix?

not the OP, but it's not on netflix. There's an official (free) youtube channel for it and also maybe on Amazon Prime? Both are putting out only a few episodes a week and are only a little over half way through. If you want to avoid spoilers though, you have to be careful because all the episodes have come out in Chinese (and also in English on a pay platform).

It's very gay without being actually gay (in the way The Untamed was- showing as much as they can within the censorship lines). There are lingering touches and long gazes into each other eyes, etc.

I'll check this out I think. Thanks for the info!

so....................

not actually gay at all

because it's chinese

and because the cast and staff quite sensibly wish to avoid imprisonment and/or conviction and/or other consequences because of the censorship

so, in conclusion, IT'S NOT GAY.

I'm watching it on Youtube with English subtitles, I don't think it's on Netflix? The level of gay seems... fairly gay.

****MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD****




Wen Ke Xing (the guy in red) makes absolutely no bones about being into Zhou Zi Shu (the guy in blue), and he's a HUGE flirt, making regular comments about ZZS' beauty and physique and how amazing he must be even though he's in disguise as a beggar when they first meet. ZZS isn't interested initially, but eventually comes to view WKX as his soulmate, even though he doesn't really know the man very well and WKX quite obviously has some secrets he's not telling. When WKX learns that ZZS is dying, he's absolutely distraught and equally torn up that he's keeping some very serious secrets from the man he thinks of as his soulmate.

IMO, the chemistry between the two leads isn't as strong as it was in The Untamed, but it's pretty clear to me that they've got a strong bond that goes beyond bromance.
