We have season 2 March 5th with 6 more episodes and before that we'll have a special episode dedicated to Shu Yi and Shi De.

Wbl 2nd season was written, plan and filmed right away with s1 so that gives me relieve. Most season 2 are made in a rush because of the success of s1 but not here. I see it more like one series divided in 2 parts of 6 episodes.

We had an interview today but I need more!

Want to laugh? This funny edit of that chaotic SamYu live at Yu's house might do it haha

They are all so cute and precious that I'm going to put all the cast in my pocket! haha

Haha I hadn't seen that one! But yes look at their faces hahaha

And I had noticed too the other members of the cast have surrended to SamYu too (who hasn't? haha ). There was another event where they had a string or something in their mouth and getting closer into almost kissing and Richard was all hyped up watching and almost on top of them and in the way of the camera haha Or in that live at Yu's home Evan asking them to do cute poses and teasing them. And Chih Tian is also teasing them all the time lol

I don't know if crush or not, but they make each other shy and giddy. Yu turns into a giggle mess and I've seen him in interviews without Sam and he's much more serious and he doesn't react like this to the rest of the cast and Sam gets shy looking into Yu's eyes , so he looks at his lips (admitted by himself when questioned by the fans why he's always looking at Yu's lips lol) and gets all giddy watching the kisses lol Whatever it is, it's adorable to watch haha

Also, yes, I know it's just my imagination too, but the other 2 couples and cast in general seem to treat each other more like "bros" while SamYu is this that we see haha

Yes. 1 of the couples are step brothers.

They are amazing yes!

I love that one too, Yu even forgot what he had to say haha

I also enjoy MaxTul's friendship a lot. When the actors have fun together and feel so good with each other off screen, it translates on screen too. We can also see from the bts that the work environment in wbl seems to be so good with everyone having a good time and being able to have fun while still working hard to provide a quality product. All of this influences the final result.

I don't usually "stan" actors or actor ships and I'm usually more about the fictional characters and their relationships, however as you say they are so cute and precious that it always puts me in a good mood watching their interactions. It is really stress relieving and it always makes me smile... that's the power they hold, and not many "non fictional people" have that for me hahaha

I had already watched them all, but now I feel like rewatching for my daily dose of serotonin haha

You can't please everyone, so they should just stick to try and deliver a quality story with good execution. Chinese fans can become very toxic and possessive when they don't like something (I really hate the toxicity on weibo). I'd say they should do what feels right for them and provide quality work without being scared that a few fans won't like it and don't succumb to those kinds of pressures and backlashes. The sad part is that Taiwan has a small national market for entertainment, so they need the Chinese views and buzz, hence why I think they tried to go in this direction to try to please them... but they failed and if this is a mess in execution, they'll also alienate the international viewers who don't like problematic and cliche troupes and everyone that are already past the typical "Thai BL formula".

The synopisis and teaser make me feel that it will be very 2018/2019 "thai bl". I hope they prove me wrong and deliver a quality work that can match Trapped, Cross the Line and MODC.

I see it will have 20 episodes. It will be divided in 10 episodes per couple? I'm not very excited with the premise as I hate these stories with obsessive fujoshi girls who fetichise gay men and men pretending to be gay to get with them, and I don't like step brothers in love stories yet. But I'll keep an eye in it and see if they deliver it despite these tropes that make me a tad uncomfortable.

I haven't finished the episode yet to fully have an opinion, but we don't know the power dynamics/imbalances of their relationship and even if he didn't held a gun to her head or outright forced her, he might have coerced her or manipulated her into it. Just the fact that he went along or suggested/supported this, shows me a possible abusive or very unhealthy dynamic in the relationship where he took advantage of her low self esteem and feelings. He seems to have manipulated her, and then had no qualms in killing her and didn't seen that remorseful because all he wanted was to save his ass. That's how little he thought of her.

Though I enjoy this kind of mystery story a lot and love maxtul's chemistry, there is something that is making me stop waiting for the series anxiously like before, and I was extremely excited with this series on the first episodes. I still enjoy it, but have been feeling this whole case has been dragging a lot and I think that they don't depict investigation and mystery very well. The police's work with the evidence and investigation is atrocious and incompetent and it puts me off a bit. It's a very enjoyable series and I commend them for doing something different where the BL aspect of it is not the main focus but instead merged into the general story, just there is something missing for me and I can't quite point my finger to what it is. Maybe if they dragged the murder mystery less, more believable police/investigation work, less plot holes and a plot and editing that flows better. Sometimes it looks too disjointed or that some things don't make sense. I'll keep watching of course, and hope for a good resolution and more of Tan and Bun together.

I think it's for the special episode.

And I think that this competition dynamic motivated Shu Yi to always do his best. I think they are positive influences on each other with this competition thing they have, and even more that they are together and can be a team.
