Episode 10
What can I even say? I’ve been loving this series since the start, but wow… when it comes to fight scenes, Taiwan really can’t compete with China/Korea. That classroom fight was so fake it would’ve been better if they skipped it altogether.

And the logic? Completely missing. HaiYuan disappears for just a couple of hours and ZeFang suddenly panics like it’s been days. Then….bam….accident, then straight back to looking for ZeFang. The ex goes full psycho and stuffs him in a locker (because… why not?).

But here’s the kicker: somehow, magically, HaiYuan tracks ZeFang’s exact location with his app like he’s got Find My Boyfriend installed. Please.

And don’t even get me started on that “bloody rope” scene. No one bleeds like that from a rope?

Episode 10 was pure nonsense and honestly pointless. Two episodes left, this is 100% getting rushed.

He's so hot

I feel bad saying this, but I’ve watched every BL released this year and this one has to be one of the worst. The boys are cute, but the plot is all over the place, the music and sound effects are cringe, and honestly, I’m just bored. Two episodes left, let’s see how it ends.

I really loved episode 9.

It was so heartwarming to see them finally move in together as a couple. What I love most is how realistic it feels, just like in real life, one’s neat while the other’s messy, total yin and yang, opposites attracting. The little fights felt so genuine too, but what touched me most was how they both apologised and worked things out through honest communication.

Kanade Shinichiro’s situation also hit me hard because it’s so real for so many people. He doesn’t want to go home to see his dad, because his dad expects him to get married. It feels like another layer of old traditional Asian culture where family expectations, shame, and generational values run deep. For him, being gay is something he believes would never be accepted, no matter what the laws or social changes say. That’s why he avoids going home, because home doesn’t feel like a safe space for who he really is. Sometimes it’s the fear of disappointing the people you love most. Sometimes it’s about carrying years of unspoken pressure, expectations, and shame you never asked for.

This episode felt both cute and heavy at the same time, and I can’t wait to see where the story goes next.

Crazy how these short 10-minute episodes are more entertaining than some full 50-minute ones. Can’t wait for the next one

I tried to block you, but got this error saying “You can’t block a user for 24 hours after unblocking them.”

It was fun replying to your comment, so I blocked, then unblocked, and now I have to wait 24 hours.

I promise I’ll block you in 24 hours, but for now I’m really going to bed. Night!

I’m calling it a night. It’s 3am and I’ve got work in a few hours, so I’m done for now.

You actually got one thing right. I do tutor Year 11 and Year 12 English and Literature. So why don’t you come to Australia and I can give you a few lessons? Maybe then you’ll finally learn how to write without embarrassing yourself with sloppy spelling, terrible grammar, and sentences that make absolutely no sense. You sit there acting all high and mighty, lecturing others about being “well-educated” while your own writing screams the exact opposite. You want to play the smart, well-educated card? How about proving it instead of typing nonsense online and pretending it makes you credible. Honestly, the audacity is astonishing. You are rude, disrespectful, and completely clueless, and I refuse to waste another second of my time on you. Blocked.

How are you even from the USA when you can’t string together basic English? Go back to school, learn some manners… and maybe grammar too. Oh wait—no brain, no chance. 😏

First of all, I’m from Australia, born and raised. Throwing out baseless accusations that I’m Chinese just proves how dumb you are. I’m also Bi and I 100% support the LGBTQ community. In fact, I’m a team leader in one of our weekly LGBTQ groups here in Melbourne and Sydney. Nowhere in my comment did I degrade LGBTQ people, so stop making up lies to suit your narrative.

And since you’re so desperate to sound “educated,” let me help you with the basics. Your rant is full of sloppy spelling and grammar mistakes:
• You wrote “Addicted” was made ages ago, and features… → random quotation marks in the wrong spot.
• show makers → wrong, it’s showmakers.
• tucking their nine tails between their legs → nine tails? What the hell are you even talking about? Makes zero sense.
• pretend along with the show makers that the whole enterprise is not a huge joke and not an insult… → run-on sentence, missing commas everywhere.
• China IS the problem → all caps like you’re screaming = lazy writing.

You try so hard to sound intellectual, but all you’ve done is put together a bitter, sloppy mess that screams insecurity. You’re rude, disrespectful, and not worth anyone’s time.

Blocked.

P.S How are you even from the USA when you can’t string together basic English? Go back to school, learn some manners… and maybe grammar too. Oh wait—no brain, no chance. 😏

I have a thing for tall guys, he’s 196cm 🥳. Can someone confirm this for me? I’m currently watching him from Rearrange.

I’m so sorry for everything you had to go through, and thank you for trusting me enough to share such a deeply personal and painful story. Reading what you experienced as a child truly breaks my heart, and I cannot begin to imagine the strength it took for you to survive all of that on your own.
This conversation has gone much deeper than I ever expected, and I need to be honest that I am not a therapist or a psychologist, so I don’t want to say the wrong thing or cause you more hurt. My initial post was simply about how difficult it can be for single parents, because I’ve seen friends and family struggle with that reality. I didn’t mean for it to touch such a raw and personal part of your life.
What you’ve been through is something no child should ever have to face, and I truly hope you have the right support and professional help around you now, because you deserve healing and peace. Thank you again for opening up, and with respect and care, I think it’s best if we end this conversation here.

I’ve watched every Taiwanese BL this year and honestly, this one’s the best so far. Right now I’d rate it a solid 9 to 10, but since we’re only halfway through, I’ll wait and see how it all wraps up.

I hear what you are saying, and I agree that JunXi and his family bring Tuo the love, stability, and emotional support he has always needed. But I also think it is important not to overlook his father completely. His wife left, and he has been carrying the weight of raising a son alone while working hard to keep a roof over their heads. Mortgage, rent, bills, school fees, food on the table, none of it is easy, and doing it on one income must have been exhausting.

Yes, he was not always there emotionally, and that absence left scars for Tuo. That is something money alone can never heal. But many parents believe providing financially is their way of showing love, even if it comes at the cost of closeness. It does not mean he did not care, it just means he struggled to balance survival with fatherhood.

What breaks my heart is seeing how both sides are hurting: a son who feels abandoned, and a father who never learned how to express love in the way his son needed. That is why I am so grateful JunXi is there for Tuo now. Through him, Tuo feels truly understood and supported, and perhaps in time, that love will also help mend the distance between father and son.

I feel your pain, and I completely understand where you’re coming from. But not all single parents are like that. For many, being a single parent means surviving on just one income, often working multiple jobs, and still trying to raise their kids the best they can. Mortgage or rent, food on the table, school fees, textbooks, bills, clothes yet everything costs money. And after working all day, they come home exhausted, yet still have to keep going.

You mentioned that you raised your mum, and honestly, good for you. I’m proud of you, because not many people are strong enough to carry that kind of weight. But at the same time, how can a five-year-old really raise a parent? How can a child go to work to make money? At the end of the day, the financial and emotional burden still falls on the single parent, no matter how much children feel they had to grow up fast. And it’s even worse when the other parent who left doesn’t pay child support, leaving one person to do the job of two.

Yes, it is a parent’s responsibility to spend time with their children, but when you’re carrying everything alone, it can feel impossible to balance. Some parents may fall short, but many are genuinely doing the best they can with what little they have. It’s a tough, lonely road, and I think it’s important to remember that while your experience was painful, for others, single parenthood can also mean sacrifice, love, and endless effort.

Well said

Episode 6 was pure sweetness from start to finish. What made it so special was the shift in their dynamic, because this time it was JunXi who chased after Tuo and kissed him first. Usually it is Tuo who takes the lead, so seeing JunXi step forward with that kind of bold affection made the moment even more heartfelt.

The way they opened up to each other touched me deeply. Tuo finally confessed why he used to date girls, not because he had feelings for them, but because he was young and naïve, and thought that distracting them would keep them from liking JunXi. His honesty showed how much he has grown, and when he apologized, it felt like a weight lifted between them. Communication like this is rare, and it made their bond shine even brighter.

The tender little details melted my heart. The soft cuddling, the gentle forehead kiss, and the comfort of waking up in the morning next to the one you love, those are the moments that make love feel real and alive. It was intimate yet innocent, simple yet overflowing with emotion. And then came the back hug, when Jun Xi quietly held Tuo after his painful fight with his father. Without a single word, Jun Xi gave Tuo warmth, safety, and reassurance. That embrace said everything: “I am here, and you are not alone.”

I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I actually felt sympathy for Tuo’s father too. His wife left him, and he worked endlessly as a single dad to provide for Tuo. While Tuo often spent time at Jun Xi’s home, eating dinners there, he may not realize the sacrifices his father made to pay for the mortgage, the school fees, and all the bills. Carrying that responsibility alone is a heavy burden. But even so, his strict discipline and lack of emotional connection were not the right way to raise his son. What Tuo truly needed was understanding, not control. Thankfully, Jun Xi is there now to give him the love, comfort, and support he deserves.

And to those who label Tuo as “forced, obsessed, or controlling” with JunXi, I have to say they clearly haven’t seen episode 8 of ABO Desire. Compared to Hua Yong, who is manipulative, possessive, and even empowered by supernatural abilities, Tuo is nothing short of an angel. Loving both series and cannot wait for the next epsidoe!

I would love to, but don’t you think someone has to stand up for Peng? I’m the type of person who’s always tried to stay positive and optimistic. Growing up, my parents and teachers taught me that if you don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say it, and if your words can hurt someone, you should hold them back. That lesson stayed with me.
But that’s exactly why I can’t stay silent when I see negativity. If no one speaks up, then the hate only gets louder, and the damage gets worse. I’d rather be the person who steps forward, defends, and shows kindness, even if it means putting myself in the middle.
