Random RL thought of the day:

HERE ME OUT YA'LL. This may be my 'hopes and dreams' side talking, but I really think there's a high chance we'll get a purchasable 'uncut' release of this show once it's done airing. There are a few reasons I think this is a possibility:
1) The bts are sometimes very extended in what happens in the scene compared to what we're getting, sometimes things are actually totally left out. It's almost as if they're filming whole extra parts and teasing us with the bts after we see those parts are NOT in the currently airing version.
2) It would make sense to do a first release version to test the waters for popularity and protentional income stats, in order for them to see if it'd be financially viable to invest in an uncut release.
3) A first release version also allows them have more control over potential drama in China without throwing the actors totally under the trending radar with the more explicit scenes (like some of what has been hinted in the bts) because they knew some Unhinged fans (and non fans) using the VPN's in China might/would spread those scenes.
4) In one bts, a crew member said 'Do you understand what is an International Release' or something along those lines, when they were filming a scene with Chi Cheng and Suowei that we did NOT get the full extent of in the currently airing release

So I'm just saying. Hoping. That'd be awesome actually. 10/10 would buy it.

Agreed, most BL watchers have become accustomed to a routine way of storytelling in BL and it almost always ends when the pair gets together or is still in the 'honeymoon phase'. We don't get nearly enough Established Relationship extended arc BLs and I'm here for it. To this day, it's the reason Together With Me and it's sequel remains one of my faves, flawed characters with real issues and a full established relationship arc.
We need more of these types in this genre.

This is most likely a fault of the editing team when they're filling in background noise in the post production process, they're not taking scene context into consideration.

Just about 7/10. Not bad but not memorable.

I wondered about this earlier, even posted about it in the comments, like, are most people unfamiliar that many explorative couples fool around like this? Faulting CC for kissing Chengyu when his boyfriend dared him to do it, when they had a relationship lacking in boundaries to begin with and when they were drunk off their faces, that makes no sense to me. WS was looking for trouble and he got it. CC didn't do anything wrong imo. In terms of relationships dynamics one of two things were CC and WS's dynamic:
CC didn't even look confused or hesitate to kiss Chengyu because either a) he wasn't surprised kinky-WS would dare him like that and was used to those kinds of games OR b) CC actually wanted to kiss CY (which is also a possibility and then that puts both him and WS in the wrong and reveals how off balance their relationship was all along)

People who are solely mad at CC for having a past that matched his personality are just confusing to me. Not saying it's you, I'm referring to the comments I've read.

Why do you think it's perverted to want to see them kiss each other? lol there isn't anything wrong with it. Especially since in the novel they fooled around as teens. It's all before his relationship with SW, there is nothing to feel bad about lol 😂

They did 'french' in the novel and it was meant to be implied that they did in the episode, after that peck, they kissed again, but we only saw Wuo Suowei's reaction to it.

The comments are interesting here. I wonder if it's a cultural thing or a personality thing when it comes to how people see Chi Cheng's past. I'm just not bothered by Chi Cheng's past, this kind of messy dynamic just doesn't bother me. lol In fact, I find it very interesting and entertaining to watch how it plays out. I've also known some really messy people irl too, maybe that's why.

In terms of fictional characters, this kind of story is a fanfiction gold mine too, so many avenues to explore. Unsurprisingly, my brain has been working on overdrive about the topic of CC and CY, if I still had the time to write fanfiction, I'd be all over that topic, there is so MUCH to explore about them. I'm sprouting headcanon ideas out of control. Chai Jidan's left a lot of ambiguity about these two characters relationship dynamics (and I do love angst and ambiguity) and there is so much to delve into. Unfortunately, I doubt anyone else will be writing much fanfiction about CC and CY so it won't be explored. That said, if anyone comes across any fanfiction about them, do let me know.

YES THEY MADE OUT IN THE NOVEL, and it was intense enough that WS got jealous. That's what I WANTED TO SEE, that's what I was manifesting all weeeeek. That kiss was going to be my everything sauce. It's implied that they made out in the episode, but they show us the peck and then they show Wu Suowei's expression as he watches them kiss again. I feel so robbed.

Fair enough, I've never read HP fanfiction so I wouldn't know 😂

No spoilers we die like men 😭

I like angst, I like it when they hurt me 😭 bring the paaaaiin

Alexa, play Despacito 💔 ♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚♬ ﾟ🎻 _(:_」∠)_

Because SW's name is TOO extra LOL, it's obvs it's not his given name, no Chinese parent would be that full of themselves XD and yesssssss, CY has been running game on these fools for ages, I mentioned that in a comment like three weeks ago I'm glad we're finally seeing it!!!!

LOL I am one of those who don't find the actors of the Wang brothers attractive but at least now we know it was probably Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride because WS is one crazy mofo.

They were stingy, but our manifesting worked ⱼᵤₛₜ ₐ ₗᵢₜₜₗₑ thank you for helping to manifest 🥺

Okay I'm fine now. Kind of.
That was a fantastic episode. The bar has raised ever higher, RL is serving so fucking hard. They're covering all the key points and doing it with finesse. I think 15 and 16 are absolutely two of the best eps so far in the series, they laid the ground work and are now chiseling out the details and then final piece is going to be b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l.

I really enjoyed SW's attitude when talking to WS, he met bitchy with bitchy, except he kept his bitchy side a little classy. Loved it.

CC is struggling with this shit, but bb don't cry, whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger, or makes you drink more, in your case, both, but don't worry, you're doing great!

XS called CY his 'boyfriend', it's a thing now, he said it, no take backsies!!!

My precious GCY was on a business trip so we only got to see him in those video flash...backs...
Even though all I got was a little peck, I am still pleased, it was better...than nothing _(',з」∠)_
Ugh, I feel sad and happy and satisfied and robbed all that the same time. It's not fair ya'll.

A week feels so, so, so long now.

SO WUO SUOWEI GETS TO SEE THEM KISSSSSSSSSSS BUT I DONTTTTTTTTT FUUUUUUUUUCUCCCKCCKKKKKKKKK IT WAS THE SINGLE SCENE I WAS MANIFESTING AND THEY WERE SOOOOO STINGY I'M DYYYYIIINNNNGGGGGGG
