Hearts of Wulin is a parade of over-the-top feelings and action at the same time
I love a game where the best thing to do is also the worst.
A lotus flower. The first drop of rain. A flock of birds break into flight. I cry because my love has a slow-acting poison in her veins, and thus we can’t be together. Every time her heart starts racing, the poison spreads so we never even voice our feelings. We just drink tea, solve mysteries, and do high-flying wire-work fight scenes. I’m so happy.
Earlier this year, I got to be a part of a social experiment. What if the internet’s foremost bald streamer watched a Chinese drama about courtly intrigue but said it was a game because he clicked some buttons along the way? Would his audience like it? The answer may not surprise you.
If I had to pick just one comment to highlight, it would be this one: “I came here to be silly and watch the stupid C-drama and here I am, in tears at the absolutely brutal resolution of what happened with Gaoyang. All those beautiful moments and then they never saw each other again and she was in mourning clothes for the rest of her life. Guys I cannot do it I cannot”
But of course, this person could. And did.
