Secret Lover Episode 5 Reactions
I’ll be lying if I said this show is exactly what I was looking for just like no blood brother is black but like little plot, everything is just continuous. Everything makes sense when something bad happens. They get over it and something else. Bad happens. AND THE WAY THEY TALK ABOUT SEX. I got what I wanted. Friends start to fill your head with shit. You never even think about crazy. Also why don’t we keep fucking running? Stop fucking running. 8/10 bc we keep running. Okay bye!

i find Han Tuo's jealously off putting, cause the way he reacts is kinda scary - i hate how he manhandles Jun Xi telling him to keep his distance from girls, like WTF. i don't care if ur dating, married or whatever... there lines u don't cross, even when ur jealous or worried, u need to have faith in ur partner to be able to care enough not to cheat or flirt. being this obsessive is toxic & can lead to an abusive relationship - in a blink. the fact Jun Xi doesn't stop Han Tuo's controlling behavior, but accepts it as endearing or idk what.... is worrisome. ***********************************************************************************************wish Xiao Yang (as their mutual friend) would tell them both to stop being this crazy, for one to take a step back & not try controlling the one he loves & to the other to step-up & stand his ground, not let the person he loves, manhandle him let alone dictate sh*t. *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************for me the plus point in this ep r the girls - ironically - i really love You Mei, she is quirky & funny... ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************btw ironic that it took so long for the 3 friends to figure out what Han Tuo was up too, regarding all the girls that had crushes on Jun Xi, but given Jun Xi personality i doubt he will be angry at this fact. Han Tuo has been subtlety gaslighting him from the start of this BL - or throughout their childhood.... & i feel bad for Jun Xi cause he is really depicted as this overly innocent & trusting pushover, that's being taken advantage off.... 7 more ep's to go & i genuinely don't know if them ending up together will be a happily ever after Han Tuo deserves.

Nice and sweet with angst and some drama. It also had somehumor thrown in to lessen the tension. Love thechemistrybetween thecouple. Love how it stayson point and did not linger on the exgftroupe.

Episode 5 was pure fire 🔥—from the kiss to the NC scene, it was intense yet intimate, and so beautifully done.Even the bath scene was sizzling hot 💦, and then that final hand-holding? Absolutely adorable.I especially loved how they actually talked about who wanted to top or bottom.I’m so tired of the usual stereotype where the taller or bigger lead is always the top—this felt refreshing, honest, and real.And for those saying Tuo forced Jun Xi—Episode 5 proves otherwise.This time, it was Jun Xi who missed Tuo, who initiated the hug first.That moment carried so much longing and quiet acceptance—it wasn’t force,it was two hearts finally colliding after resisting for too long.I love the fast pacing—no dragging, no dancing around feelings.Just raw emotion, vulnerability, and connection.One of the best Taiwanese BLs I’ve watched this year—A story that burns hot, but leaves a soft warmth lingering long after the screen fades to black.
