Private Notebook

I'm the happiest today. This is my favorite episode (I have a lot of favorite episodes already) BUT we got Shaoyou getting marked, and he's cute being so clueless about the mark without knowing Hua Yong can and did mark him. I love how he was sulking throughout this whole episode, like a dominant sassy princess who can only be tamed by his man (his man is also a simp so I don't know who's taming who at this point)Hua Yong being himself is everything (He's so shameless and doesn't hide it.) And not him planning a wedding already.😭😭

I saw many people complaining about this show and I actually expected the worst when I started it that I dropped it three times before continuing with episode 1 and surprisingly, I started episode 1 and I was actually hooked. I liked it, Song Yi was not as bad as some people claimed her to be. And obviously Cheng Lei was perfect for this role (he's literally good at anything he's on). Their chemistry was not that awe but enough to keep you invested to the story.

The only part I hated is the cliche little childhood stories they always make about the second male leads and the female leads. Is that part necessary for every Chinese drama? I rolled my eyes with “here we go again.” and it's literally something I wouldn't want to see in a cdrama.

I really want to say I'm a Hua Yong apologist but that man have never done anything wrong like ever.🙇

Saying he's a green flag its just underestimating him, he's a whole green forest.😭😭

We're going to see little peanut soon.🤺

Mommy's getting marked on Saturday!🙇🙇

Thank you.😁

The actors gained a lot of popularity and have probably earned a lot from their solo work especially in the mainland. But the series itself probably didn't earn what a mainstream drama would make (but more than Desire).

I also hope they'll become successful (but not like RL actors, my boys do not need more toxicity in their lives.) And I hope we'll get that high school bl of XingQiu we're all manifesting for.🙇

Since the series is named after him, what did you all expect exactly? This is not a chinese drama btw.

It's not the timing. I'm sure RL didn't make much as well considering the series are broadcasted on intentional apps and not in the mainland. Desire has done good so far with only from streaming, hopefully there'll be some improvement once they release the merchandise and they start holding fan meetings.

Episode 5 was a bit less interesting but not boring at all. It was actually a break from what has been happening from episode 1 and mind you, so much has happened already. In episode 5, we can see the the development of Peem and Khem relationship and that is just what we needed cause it shows that our stoic master is slowly starting to melt.This is about Khemjira and his generational curse and since the novel itself says Khemjira will survive (?) I'm sure it's all about Khemjira breaking the generational curse that has befallen his family. No one said you're going to see some strong kungfu from him. As someone who grew up seeing ghosts, he must have been fragile yet emotionally strong after all that. I know I'd be in a mental hospital at that age lmao.Y'all are used to overreacting MC's who talk too much and are sometimes if not most of the time cringe (I know Thai BLs never fail to give us that) But so far, Khem's personality is good. Kind, quiet, calm and sweet. He's more introverted, and seeing ghosts your whole would probably make you like that.

Guys please find time to vote on Star focus. Xingqiu is number 2.

They're not a fixed pair per se, they've signed 3 years contracts with their company. They're welcomed to go their own ways but Xingqiu said they're open for another series together. Nongjian sister's said it would depend of the success of this one but by far, they didn't make even 5% of what they had invested in the show (but hopefully we'll see a difference once official merch is released and they hold fan meetings). So we cannot be sure if another series will be made.😖

Manifesting.

It's sad how we only have 5 episodes left. I really don't want this to end, I will never enjoy a BL era as much as I've enjoyed Desire era.😩😩

It was pitch black yet they made it light for the audience. But a plot hole they made since the lights were turned on. But in the novel it was dark so he didn't see that it was Hua Yong and his voice is different when he's playing an Omega and when he's an Enigma.

Only if we have Saturdays only at this point.🙇

At one point we'll need a dictionary and see what's the meaning of repetitive. I don't think y'all know what that means.😌

We needed enough of Wenlang groveling.😤

Hua Yong following Shaoyou around with thousands of apologies is satisfying. I know our princess is soft for Hua Yong but let him beg!! Let that beautiful psycho crawl.😩😩
