A mess

Hua Wuque got the WORST deal!

Handsome Siblings

Spoilers

He's just a wide eyed little boy on his first big adventure (to make his aunts happy and proud!) And everyone is like "Ew Yihua Palace go away" making him Confused and Sad

His first ever friends end up dying in a tragic triple suicide (Triple!)

Then the dude he's meant to kill is actually the Coolest and they are Best Friends but oh no! I have to murder you!

Then he develops a crush on a girl for the first time ever but she's in love with his best friend that he has to murder so that's a whole thing

The last episode is the story of Hua Wuque's Worst Day Ever;

He has the trauma of killing his bestie, then the trauma of finding out he killed his TWIN BROTHER, and then the trauma that his aunt(s?) Never really loved him and one just murdered the other THEN right after the joyous Yay! My Bestie/Bro isn't dead, the other aunt dies by giggling off a cliff which puts a damper on the celebration and THEN he finds out his girlfriend (who had, the night before, asked him to essentially die and he was like yeah okay because he is a Good Boy) has poisoned herself and is nearly dead and he gets to end the series on the worst hug I've ever seen

Fucking

Raw

Deal

Not to mention he had a bad reputation for most of the series because of his association with his aunts and later because of Jiang Xiaoyu (either people who thought they were friends and didn't like JXY or thought they were enemies and liked JXY - no way to win)

Hua Wuque got a loving twin brother and that's like the ONLY good thing to come out of his whole little adventure. Poor boy. He deserves better hugs and maybe a holiday.

Alright, I just spent four days binging the 2020 drama Handsome Siblings and boy do i have some thoughts. I think most of this is spoilers, so I will just add a keep reading or whatever. I don’t normally post stuff like this, but I saw how small the fandom is and how little posts there were and thought what the hell, its 4am and I’m gonna post something.

They even did a cross fade close up of the two and I just could NOT tell them apart whatsoever. I have always been shit with faces but I'm not THAT bad...

Finally looked up the cast list to see if they look as similar IRL and you know what? They DO.

So that’s not what happened in the book, and since what happened in the book was AWESOME, i’d like to point this out

everything is basically word for word, right up until Jiang Xiaoyu sneaks back into Jiang Yulang’s room. He checks, Yulang’s asleep, he snaps the cuff back on, lies down, but before he can go to sleep

he realises that Jiang Biehe is standing right there

Jiang Biehe does the villain monologue, praises Xiaoyu for his intelligence, too bad I gotta kill you now, etc

Jiang Xiaoyu  praises him right back for his intelligence

at which point Jiang Biehe (you all figured out WHO this guy is by now, right? RIGHT?) tells Xiaoyu that someone sneaked into his estate and tried to kill him the night before by drugging him with incense, but he wasn’t home

Xiaoyu: well if they’re not an amateur they won’t come back Biehe: they ARE an amateur, they’ll def come back Xiaoyu: OH SO that’s why I’m alive, you want to put me in your bed paralysed so they’d kill me instead Biehe: Yes, and then I can go in and KILL THEM and take revenge for you Xiaoyu: WHAT A PLOT, BRILLIANT

So naturally, he gets moved to Biehe’s room, and who comes into the room to kill him but

TIE XINLAN

And then, Hua Wuque appears at the last minute and pushes Tie Xinlan’s blade away at the very last second, bc “we shouldn’t go around killing ppl without evidence” reasons

Tie Xinlan: how dare, he killed my father, my father left markings showing he entered this house and never left Jiang Biehe: I never MET your father Hua Wuque: See? (One day he will stop taking BIG BAD at his word, but today is not that day) Tie Xinlan: Wait if you’re not in bed who is this on your bed Jiang Biehe: Uh … son of an old friend. Why don’t you say hi? Xiaoyu: why would i say hi they tried to kill you Tie Xinlan: *gasp it’s xiaoyu he’s alive omg* Um never mind he didn’t kill my dad let’s go everyone else: WHAT Biehe: No no you should stay and have dinner Xiaoyu: no they shouldn’t Hua Wuque: wait one $#%&^#*$&#^ second i know that voice are you Jiang Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu: oh crap Biehe: you know him? Hua Wuque: Oh good, you’re not dead Biehe: uh… of course not. With me here, nothing will happen to him. Hua Wuque: IS THAT SO Xiaoyu: You want to kill the son of hero Jiang’s old friend, dream on Hua Wuque: I MUST KILL HIM MYSELF IF I HAVE TO GO THROUGH YOU SO BE IT Biehe: You … want to kill him? *oh no, fell for xiaoyu’s tricks again* Jiang Yulang: *thinking on his feet* dad! my stomach hurts! the wine he gave us was POISONED! Biehe: Poison? How dare you! Go ahead and kill him!

Hua Wuque flies off with Xiaoyu, we’re back on track on the word-for-word adaptation

but now Jiang Biehe is suspicious that the mad lion Tie Zhan IS ACTUALLY his mute servant and NEARLY kills him (but now they actually killed him what are they going to do about that plot-point later????)

WHAT THE FUCK

WHAT THE FUCK
