Secret Lover Episode 8 Reactions
That kid really needs a listen in to listening and to not be a little shit!! It would seem Jun Xi is no matter than the little shits dad but not teaching the kid right and wrong! You don't spoil your kid, WTF!
Jun Xi annoyed me more in the ep. Now I get you don't want to come out, I really do get it, but he NEVER once talked to Tuo about it, he just keeps jumping and hiding and freaking out if he thinks someone will find out. Yet at the same time when Tuo tells his boss that they are just friends, he look like he didn't like that, sorry buy you can't have it both ways. You either tell people or be fine even when your BF lies about your relationship like you always do.
Jun Xi is just selfish, and doesn't care about his BF's feeling and I'm sorry, but that's wrong in my book.
His brother keeps texting him about their relationship, and I don't see why he's is so invested in his little brothers life now, but whatever, so instead of just telling his brother no, they are just friends, he's pacing trying to think of a different lie to tell him, right in front of this BF, what you want him to help you lie again!
Hell I'm really surprised that he let his friend know and the little weirdo know that they are dating. If you are going to freak out over every little thing, thinking someone will find out you are dating, why date in the first place. It was sad when Tou said "Let's break up?" I know why he did it and it's sad that to came to that much.
I can't wait to see how next ep plays out... and I wonder just how Jun Xi well try to talk his way out of his mom seeing him kiss Tou...

OMG that preview... sh*t's really gonna hit the fan. but i have to say i felt bad for Jun Xi, u want anyone to come out in their own time - here he is getting dragged out, by his brother & ironically by Han Tuo. his brother wasn't in his life idk how long & suddenly pops-up like a bad penny, now is all up in his little brother's business - don't appreciate this. anyone in Jun Xi's place would tell him to butt-the-f*ck out of him personal business. when & if he is ready to tell him anything he will. he got enough on his plate with his lack of a job, place to stay & a kid to look after. why he bothering with his little brother's business?!? **********with Han Tuo, the pressure isn't invasive, but it still exist. Han Tuo low-key keeps pushing Jun Xi into situations he isn't ready for, or knows how to handle & i get his offered the break-up, was his way of helping. but now that Jun Xi is in a relationship with him, u can't just decided all on ur own to end sh*t - like communicate or wait for him to be ready to come out. at least, this time don't force on him.... let him take his time to do what he feels is right.... idk - ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also i know in the previous ep i wrote that i missed You Mei & was happy to see her, until she basically shamed Jun Xi for how he lied to his parents. sorry but WTF - idk what her own situation was, but u have NO right to force ur thought's on anyone else. Jun Xi can take however long he needs to come out. stay out of their relationship & don't give out unsolicited advise! *********************************************************************************************************************************************also am glad Xiao Yang didn't kiss You Mei, sorry but whatever she was going though she needed to deal with that & not get into something, just for the change of mood she was in. that not a good basis for any relationship. so glad that Xiao Yang was smarter then to do something that could backfire.

Episode 8 broke me in a way I didn’t expect. I had to watch it on GagaOOLala since the iQIYI dub wasn’t available, and maybe that delay only made the emotions hit harder.Seeing Han Tuo jealous of JunXi’s 5 year-old nephew was the sweetest, purest moment. It showed how much love he carries, how much he wants JunXi to be his and only his. But then those final three words came crashing down: “Let’s break up.”The silence after those words felt suffocating. It reminded me of Revenged Love when Chi Cheng said “I hate you” in the prison scene not because he meant it, but because the pain was too much to hold. I don’t believe Han Tuo truly wants to end things. His entire being has revolved around JunXi since they were kids. His love is an obsession, a devotion too deep to just walk away from.To me, those words are a shield. They come from seeing JunXi suffer, from realizing how unbearable it is to hide their love in the shadows. Even though Taiwan has legalized same-sex marriage, culture is not so easily rewritten. Family honor, expectations, shame, they linger in every corner of life. For so many of us, coming out isn’t freedom, it’s the risk of losing the people who raised us, the families we were taught to never disappoint.Watching this episode felt like staring into my own heart. I know what it’s like to love in silence, to hide, to feel both the warmth of intimacy and the cold weight of fear. Han Tuo and JunXi’s struggle isn’t just fiction, it is reality for so many of us.This episode wasn’t just sad, it was painfully real.
