I wonder how they could delay treatment for a whole year for their son who seemed to be in a critical condition.…
That’s definitely a possibility. I wasn’t saying that’s what happened for sure, just that after seeing how openly homophobic his mother is, it made me wonder if that also played a role in how they treated him. Hopefully the show will clarify what really happened.
I think i need to hold this for a minute like wtf??? Im not watch yet but I got spoiler so thats i cant even watch…
I wouldn’t call Qing Lang stupid. Everyone babies him, so of course he ended up spoiled and a little bratty. That doesn’t mean he’s dumb, though. He’s actually very intelligent and surprisingly emotionally perceptive. He’s just used to people giving in to him.
we all knew angst was coming, still it hurt, actually i'm more angry than sad. i understand the theme of the episode,…
I’M SO MAD AT HIM. 😭 I know he was hurting, I KNOW. But telling Chang Yang you regret ever meeting him?? Jail. And don’t even get me started on him wanting to run to CY’s hotel the second he saw him. Hell no. Too late. Go sip your tea and cry about it

Not saying this is what happened, but… if they knew who Tian was, they probably knew their son was gay too. And after seeing how homophobic she is, I can’t help wondering if that’s why they left him without treatment for a whole year.
and once again we're dealing with an omophobe mother who blames the wrong people. a reminder that the real world…
People like her should stay in their little homophobic bubble and leave everyone else alone. I hope Big Brother sues her ass for assaulting little Tian 😭😭
Tian crying in that bathroom absolutely destroyed me. I need five business days to recover.
And that bitch? I swear, if I catch her…she’s gonna regret everything she did. Because what do you mean you’re throwing trash at someone, calling them names, and threatening them with boiling water?? Girl, seek help.
The breakup? Never happened. I didn’t see it, I don’t acknowledge it, therefore it’s not canon.
I am a bit hesistant to start this drama. :D I found the trailer intriguing, but the hype is so crazy and I usually…
The hype is crazy because it’s deserved. This series isn’t even that popular, and only now, two weeks later, I’m starting to see people talking about it.
But if you’re looking for a mainstream show, this isn’t it. It’s very poetic, and the pacing is more like a romantic poem than a typical drama.
Is it worth it? Absolutely. But if that kind of storytelling isn’t your thing, you might not like it.
I’m sorry but do you even know what queer baiting actually is bc neither of those two are that.
Take Arthit and Johan from Fourever You. They’re both queer characters, they’re both in relationships with men, and by fandom logic they could absolutely be shipped together. People ship characters for far less.
Yet you barely see that happening.
Why? Because the friendship itself isn’t written in a romantic or homoerotic way. The narrative doesn’t encourage that reading. Their relationship is clearly presented as friendship, so that’s how most people perceive it.
Of course there will always be a few shippers. There always are. But the dominant conversation around Arthit and Johan isn’t “they’re secretly in love” or “they’re basically a couple.”
That’s why I don’t think all of this can be reduced to fandom projection. The way a relationship is written matters. Some friendships are perceived as friendships by the vast majority of the audience, while others generate constant romantic readings. To me, that difference doesn’t happen by accident.

I think this is where we disagree.
I don’t deny that fandom contributes to it. What I disagree with is the idea that GMMTV is just standing on the sidelines while fans randomly decide to ship people.
GMMTV knows exactly how these pairings are perceived. They know which dynamics generate discussion, engagement and shipping. If they truly wanted to tell straightforward friendship stories, they could do that. Plenty of shows have done it successfully.
Instead, they keep returning to pairings and narratives that are constantly read through a romantic lens, and then market those pairings together because they know there’s an audience for it. That’s why I don’t see it as purely a fandom issue. If a company knows exactly how a product is being consumed and continues to lean into it, then the company is part of that dynamic as well.

Like… I’m telling you, Wenshu is in love with that boy 👀
But telling Chang Yang you regret ever meeting him?? Jail.
