It's funny how so many Chinese BLs that are about business world have toxic relationships and problematic "love" scenes while the story about unruly underworld characters has the better relationship and no dub-con scenes. Even in novel, Liu yi is violent towards Chu San in beginning when they just meet, he never show those tendencies towards him once they are in a relationship and when they lie to each other or go against each other, it's because they want other to be safe.

I asked the same question before and got no answers. It's popular enough to have fanfics but I can't find any.

RL doesn't have that much story in it tbh.

I'm waiting for official English translation. I heard it's under process.

This is the best version that I could find. May be I read it in too much hurry because I didn't notice that some scenes are missing. It felt smooth and nowhere felt like it was missing any context.

Yes. We need thai characters. If it goes according to novel, what happens in Thailand is a huge part of the story. Oh man I hope they don't change too much of the story if there's a second season 🙈

I don't think they're in Thailand for shooting and all. We'll figure it out soon though as second couple is there too and they don't have any role in that arc so they and xixi will be back before zz (does that make sense or am I losing my mind because of this show). Also I read somewhere (not at all credible source lol) that their June and July is filled with promotional stuff and fan meets and shooting is starting in August.

Oh my god I love Kevin so much. His love or crush or whatever is so pure. I feel like he love Chusan the same way liu yi loved QL (big brother). There are so many characters I want to see. Kevin, Jade Guanyin, that bigg boss look alike undercover cop (I forgot his name) and more of Dongdong's gf. There's so much in the novel that I want to see on screen.

Actors sound way less sure about season 2 on their Thailand tour than they did before. I thought it was a 50-50 chance but now I'm losing hope. What's the point of that tease of an ending then🤷‍♀️

20 days? Low budget and that time frame. The entire team really did a great job. I can't remember any show I have watched that needed a second season as much this one does. I keep fantasising about the three seasons rumour being true lol.

Ok so in ig live, both leads were asked if there going to be second season, both said yes. That's where the talk about season 2 started. There's no official confirmation from makers or company.

Has anyone started writing fanfics about it. Give me recommendations fam.

Exactly. Nothing is confirmed and I think while the series is successful, it's not successful enough to get a season 2. So I hope people stop saying that season 2 is confirmed until we get official confirmation.

Ok so about me and thee, it feels super cringey if you go in expecting serious Mafia story. I watched the first episode and I was like what's happening in here but later I watched it as a spoof series. Like a parody of all those serious scary rich mafia boss and innocent down to earth boy/girl, I found it very enjoyable.

They like each other but the officer kissed inspector hua one night and left. Inspector Hua wanted to talk about it but before they could meet again, the officer was killed. Hua never truly recovered from it as he still keep a pandent of officer's reminder with him all the time.

I totally agree. I guess I went back to my delusional days when I was young and dumb and used to think that my favourite ship is one true ship and the couple is genuinely into each other. Like I knew it's PR but I could pretend that it's real but it becomes hard to pretend when the fan service becomes glaringly obvious. I hope my rambling is getting my point across and I don't sound crazy.
Couple marketing in BL world is a dangerous game to play because it can get messy real quick. I feel it's worse when it comes to China. Both fans and government can be unpredictable. I hope this works out for these actors because they are genuinely good at their work.
I heard that three seasons rumour too and it actually makes sense based on how long the novel is but I'm keeping my expectations low. I feel like viewers who have read the novel are taking the ending of show better than the viewers who haven't read the novel (majority of viewers tbh). Fan service and everything aside, let's hope for a more novel accurate and long season 2.

They shot the scene of Chusan convincing goons to stop the bomb's timer. I have seen a couple of cuts on ig. I just don't understand why they didn't include it in the episode as the last episode is only 40 minutes long.

Let's just say they get their happy ending before the main couple does.

I'm just here to change my take on xizhao (actors playing Chusan and Liu Yi) being authentic and not doing fan service. They have officially entered the market and are delivering just like other couples. I know it's not related to the show but I really wanted to share my thoughts.

I know everyone is frustrated because there are so many loose ends and series doesn't have a proper ending. I'm annoyed too because the last episode is a hot mess and especially because they cut Chusan's interaction with those goons. That's the incident where we see how manipulative Chusan can be and the base of his future arc start to set in. I have many complaints too but the weird ending also gives me hope for season 2. Over all 9/10 for me. Maybe I'm being biased because it's after a long time I have gotten emotionally involved with a series and ship (xizhao) but I feel like this show is worth watching.
