Episode Release Schedule • Ep 19 & 20: 8th August – tonight! • Ep 21: 9th August – tomorrow • Ep 22: 10th August – Sunday • Ep 23: 11th August – Monday • Ep 24 (Finale): 12th August – Tuesday
That means we’re getting 2 episodes tonight, then 1 episode every day until the finale — finishing in just 5 days! 💔🔥
Liu Jun has a support rôle in The female General. He's super cute.
Really? It’s on my watchlist — I can’t wait to see him! His acting as Wang Shuo was incredible at the end of episode 18; his tears and emotional performance were just so good.
After Tuesday, they better drop a DVD box set, stickers, photo book, BTS, merch, and key rings — because once these 5 days are over, I honestly won’t know how to function anymore! 😭💔✨

Hm, I only found 2 eps so I can’t really rate it yet. All I can say is: ep 1 starts a bit awkward and ep 2 gets…
You only found 2 episodes because… surprise! Only 2 have been released so far 🤭 lol. Here’s the very mysterious airing schedule, in case math is hard:
Ep 1 = Thursday, 31st July Ep 2 = Thursday, 7th August Ep 3 = Thursday, 14th August Ep 4 = Thursday, 21st August So yep, it’s not hiding. It just… hasn’t aired yet 😅
I asked my partner, who is a Japan fan and I mean the country and culture, if those series are over the top with…
Wow, I never thought of it that way—you truly opened my mind. I actually went to Japan a year ago, and out of the 40+ countries I’ve visited, I can honestly say Japanese people are some of the most respectful, clean, and kind individuals I’ve ever encountered. It’s also one of the safest countries I’ve been to.
After that trip, I started exploring Japanese BLs, and yeah—I did notice the couples often seem awkward or reserved. But I never considered the deeper cultural context you mentioned: no PDA, privacy in relationships, and the pressure of “study hard, work hard” from a young age.
Your explanation really helped me understand that this isn’t bad acting or lack of chemistry—it’s a reflection of a culture where love, especially same-sex love, is often kept quiet and internal.
Thanks for sharing that—it completely changed how I see Japanese BLs now 🙏
I’m so glad they became intimate as early as Episode 4, with the series only a third of the way through. It’s…
Me too, that’s exactly what I mean 🥳 Not just My Sweetheart Jom — I swear, some Japanese BLs don’t even have their first kiss until like 1 minute before the finale 😭
i think the girl was really wrong and should be given lashings too and tuo was rightfully mad at her though dont…
I actually see it a bit differently. I don’t think Tuo was mad at Junxi personally — I think he was furious because of what almost happened to him. If Tuo hadn’t shown up in time, that girl could’ve kissed or even sexually assaulted Junxi. That fear and panic probably turned into anger, not at Junxi, but at the situation — and maybe even a bit of jealousy too.
That said, you’re absolutely right that Tuo should’ve communicated instead of storming off. But from the way he barged in, it’s likely he saw everything from the window and reacted emotionally in the moment. Not saying it's the best response, but it comes from a place of caring and protectiveness.
DROPPED When JunXi sets his boundaries asking not to be touched or kissed without permission, Tuo responds by…
Interesting how just last week you said: “I do not have double standards when it comes to forced intimacy. I immediately call out problematic sexual behaviour when I see it on screen.”
But here we are after Episode 4, where HeYouMei locked the door, pushed Jun Xi onto a table, and tried to kiss him without consent — a clear attempted sexual assault — and yet you dropped the series because Tuo ghosted Jun Xi?
Where’s your outrage now? Not a single word about HeYouMei’s behaviour. Suddenly the boundary violation doesn’t matter because it’s a girl doing it?
Be consistent. Double standards like this are exactly why these conversations around consent often feel one-sided.
You’re entitled to drop the show for any reason, but don’t preach about having no double standards when your silence here says otherwise.
I hope this comes out better for them than the remake of LITA. That cast and script didn’t even hold a candle…
I had the same thought!
I really loved the Thai Love in The Air, but when I watched the Japanese remake, it just didn’t hit the same — nowhere near as good as the Thai version.
Remakes can really be a hit or miss. The best one for me is definitely Revenged Love (2025) — it’s a remake of the 2015 series, but the 2025 version is way better and currently one of the top-rated BLs airing right now.
My mum is everything to me—because in life, you only get one mother. She carried me for nine months, gave me life, and sacrificed so much for me. If she were ever terminally ill, in her final days I would drop everything—even my business—just to be by her side. I would feed her, just like she fed me when I was little. I would care for her, just like she has cared for me all my life. Because money can always be made again… But a mother? You can never get her back. 💔 Which is why Wu Suo Wei’s mother breaks my heart. She thought she was protecting him, but keeping her terminal illness a secret is its own kind of cruelty. She even pressured Chi Cheng to hide it— leaving him trapped, torn between honesty and her dying wish, while his partner misunderstood and thought he was still running back to his ex.
The only way I can imagine her truly winning our hearts back is in Episode 19 at the hospital— she reaches out with trembling hands, holding Chi Cheng in one hand and Wu Suo Wei in the other. Through tears, she whispers:
“I accept you. I accept your love with Chi Cheng. He is a good man with a good heart, unlike your ex, Yue Yue. It’s okay if I never get grandkids, because I will soon see your father in heaven. All I want… is for you to be happy, my loving son.”
If that moment comes, it will break me completely… and yet, it will heal everything too. 🥀
I’m so glad they became intimate as early as Episode 4, with the series only a third of the way through. It’s such a refreshing change—so many BLs wait until the very end, saving the first kiss or love scene for the last episode, leaving barely any time to see the couple truly be a couple. I also think it works so well here because they’ve known each other for over 10 years since childhood, so they’re naturally comfortable with each other. It’s not like they just met. That history makes their connection feel natural and earned.
By giving us intimacy early, the story allows their love to grow in front of us, layer by layer—real, vulnerable, and heartfelt.
It’s such a rare joy to watch a BL where romance isn’t just a last-minute reward, but a journey we actually get to experience fully.
Han Tuo walked all over consent like it doesn't even exist - so much so that the male lead made him promise not…
If you think Episode 4 was explicit, then I’m guessing you haven’t watched many Thai or Japanese BLs — there are way more graphic NC scenes in other shows. But for me, it’s not about how explicit a scene is. It’s about whether the story has depth, and whether the plot and characters are meaningful.
Sex, kissing, and physical intimacy are part of real life — and when done within the context of a mature storyline, they shouldn’t be something to fear or shame. This show is rated 18+ Restricted on iQIYI for a reason.
If 18+ content isn’t your thing, that’s totally okay — but maybe this series just isn’t for you. Watching an 18+ show and then complaining about the NC scenes feels a bit contradictory.
For me, it is CC that makes it so addictive. Lol I am curious to see why CC kept calling GCY's name. Like you…
Some comments mentioned that in the novel, WSW’s mother doesn’t know about their relationship — but you never know, the series might add a twist.
In Episode 19, I’m guessing we’ll get one of two scenes: 1. She says something like, “I know about your relationship with my son. Please take care of him.” And/or 2. She asks him to tell her son the truth — that Yue Yue is a gold digger and to stay away from her.
If they stick closer to the novel, I’m leaning more towards option 2.

I said “tonight” because I’m in Australia — obviously it’ll be morning for folks in Canada and the USA.
But hey, enjoy… only 2 hours to go. 😉
Episode Release Schedule
• Ep 19 & 20: 8th August – tonight!
• Ep 21: 9th August – tomorrow

Instead of finishing on 26th August, it’ll wrap up on 12th August. So that’s just 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
Honestly, it’s not bad. It’s not like they fast-tracked 10 episodes — it’s only 5.
