Jie Yao

Cheng Ke has lost everything. Coming from a privileged background, he now has to search through trash to find his missing possessions. When one of his frustrated outbursts results in him being punched in the face, Cheng Ke finds himself unfortunately acquainted with terrifying gang leader Jiang Yuduo.

Circumstances lead to Cheng Ke becoming a tenant at a new apartment—which just so happens to be rented out by Jiang Yuduo. Cheng Ke's inability to complete even the most menial tasks forces him to overly depend on his landlord, and as a result, the two form an indescribable bond.

However, there are darker forces at play in the lives of both Cheng Ke and Jiang Yuduo. The two men are haunted by the pasts they left behind, and meanwhile, danger lurks around every corner. With mysterious figures following their every move, gang wars raging in the streets they walk on, and enemies itching to bring them down, Cheng Ke and Jiang Yuduo must always have each other's back.

1.Where is the Shounen-Ai Part? from what ive seen its just two dudes helping each other with their liife struggles



(SPOILERS)
One has family problems and one has mental health issues, i was checking out some BL anime and found this, though the BL part is missing(?) from what i heard there are parts that are cut off or censored from the story? I don't know

I just finished it today and my thoughts are, it's a good wholesome show
I know there are some brutal fight scenes but overall it has a wholesome vibe to it
Specially the ending is good that they tackle some heavy topics like human ... trafficking and mental illness

Though i wouldn't consider this as a BL(?) there wasn't any romantic connection from both characters at all.

Art/Animation - i don't have thatt much complains the art style is pretty and clean i guess
though the fight scenes is a biit lacking

but hey the OP was good and the story seems nice, i definitely recommend this if you like a more fluffy/wholesome story

So Overall it's an 8

Mixed Feelings

5/10

This is a curious case for me, to be quite honest. I expected something way different, something filled with more action and badass fight scenes, but I didn't really get that. The style wasn't my cup of tea, the characters don't look terrible, but I wouldn't call them pretty either. The story is a little all over the place, but overall- not that bad. I am glad to see 'taboo' topics like mental health and human trafficking being brought up in anime.

The opening was good. I'll give it that.

The relationship between the two main characters was okay, with some adorable moments happening there and ... there. It made sense and didn't feel forced. I've got one more complaint, though- the series has 13 episodes and takes place over ~1 year, if I'm not mistaken... But it does feel like a week or two? I wish the creators made sure that the passage of time was more apparent.

Once again; I did not get attached. Aside from the two main characters, the rest was just there for plot progression. No good female characters either, sadly. I am probably going to forget the plot of Jie Yao in a week, but I did enjoy it, don't get me wrong. It's not amazing, but a good one for when you're bored.

Ah, and the cat was cute.

Not Recommended

I was interested in watching this because I've never seen a Chinese Shounen Ai anime before. The score of 7.02 (as of May 15, 2021) also influenced by decision to watch. I think this deserves closer to a 4. Just really disappointed by...basically everything.

CAUTION: SPOILERS

The two main characters never kiss, or confess their love, or even THIINK about liking the other in a sexual/romantic way. Everything is so implicit to the point where really it feels pointless to watch the anime if you're looking for Shounen Ai content. At the end they're best friends who live together.

Not worth the time tbh, even with ... only 13 episodes.
