Thank you. That gives me hope.

The more and more I look at clips showing of the upcoming episodes the more I get feelings of dread. Chinese bls are famous for open ended or tragic endings. This feels too much like the ending of Stay With Me where the jealous relation ends up destroying the wrong person. I actually enjoyed ep 8. I may just leave this there. Right now I am enjoying the clips of Ayden and Tong together and looking so happy.

Episode 4 was soooo awesome. It really captured the feeling of being young and the importance of having friends. It feels fresh and authentic. The innocence of first love, the anticipation of a new day, the excitement and anticipation is all encompassed in this series and I am loving it. GMMTV has done it again.

I agree❤️

Sounds like a personal problem to me. I choose to believe Tay. You choose not to. What does that have to do with the series? Absolutely nothing. I am enjoying this series and I respect and support the actors and actresses as well as anyone else who has worked hard on this project.

I agree. Go somewhere else with your personal tirade.

Love me some Tay and New….they are part of the original couples that put GMMT on the international scene. I have been with them since they were playing teenage lovers. Dark Blue Kiss is still one of my favorites. They never disappoint. I already have a smile on my face. And seeing, Mond and Tui is the icing on the cake. The rest of the cast includes other favorites of mine. Fun and games ahead for sure. I am in until the end.

Thank you so much for responding in such a positive manner. It is encouraging to know there are others like me who appreciate it when serious issues and societal norms are addressed without being stereotypical or judgemental.

What I love about series like this is it causes a lot of us to go beyond the surface and really start questioning our personal selves and our own beliefs. I am not Catholic but I grew up in a community where Catholics and Protestants had a mutual respect and understanding for one another. The public school I attended was across the street from a Catholic church. The students who were Catholic were allowed to attend special services at the church on Ash Wednesday. Lol..that’s when my brother became Catholic for a day! I met a fellow student in college. She and I became best friends. She was a devout Catholic. Later when she married and was diagnosed with terminal cancer we shared many conversations about our faith. She never expressed any ill will toward God. In fact as her final days drew closer her faith grew stronger. How could God take this beautiful unselfish soul from a loving husband and two young sons? How could God take my best friend from me? The setting for this series is centered around the Catholic church but it could have been any conservative evangelical church steeped in religious theology and doctrine. Even in 2026 the stance on homosexuality stands firm. Over thirty years ago a young man was appointed Youth Leader over my own church organization. He was a born leader. He was a true worshipper. The youth loved him. But somehow it was disclosed that he was gay. He was questioned by the leadership. He did not deny what he was nor would he agree to speak against being gay. He was striped of his position. He was not thrown out of the church. He left on his own accord. Despite changes in society the churche’s stance remains the same. I am anxious to see how this subject is going to be handled in this series. I applaud GMMTV for not resting on its current laurels and sticking with the tried and true bl. Sometimes we need to step outside the box.

The first episode was intense! What a great start! Gemini and Fourth are awesome! Get your tissues ready! Put your emotional seatbelts on. This is going to be some ride!

I appreciate your insightful comments but I need to point out one thing. Yes, it is 2026 and laws have changed but it takes more than laws to change the heart and the mind. There are many couples who are dealing with the very same intense issues with their family who sincerely believe that homosexuality is wrong. You can call it homophobic or whatever but it does not matter to those individuals. So the struggle continues. I myself am still a work in progress. I have eight granddaughters and three grandsons. My oldest granddaughter’s mother is gay. That is one reason she and my son divorced. When I first met her I thought she was a nice person. When my son informed me she was gay I never saw her as any different than when I first met her. Frankly, my son was no saint. Gay or not I dont think they would have made it. She is a loving and hardworking person. She raised my granddaughter well. When my granddaughter graduated from high school she invited my husband and myself as well as my other two adult children and my granddaughter’s family to her home for the graduation celebration. I still have the group picture we took. It was a glorious time. I didnt wonder who was gay and who was not. I just wanted my granddaughter to be surrounded by good people who cared for her and truly loved her. Please forgive me for diverting from the series. I stumbled upon bls a few years ago while grieving the death of my husband. It opened my eyes and my heart. I have my tissue box ready for the next four episodes. Take care.

Just finished ep 8 and I can finally relax and enjoy the next four episodes. The momma and intrusive wife are out of the picture and the brother is tucked away under the covers of his lover. Now I can buckle up and get ready for some real fun! Nothing like getting back at a former lover who you poured your heart into only to be casually discarded and tossed aside. I hope Lu Cheng makes Yi Chen cry for mercy. My only wish is that neither one dies even if they dont end up together. On another note I hope whoever the stylist is for this series gets a special award. From head to toe it has been a long time since I have seen this much attention paid to the visual aspects of the main characters. Damn they look so hot…in every scene!

I finally broke down and looked at ep 7. The acting by the mother was on point and so realistic. The scenes between Lu Feng and Yi Chen were tinged with angst and betrayal on both sides. The confrontation with the brother and his lover deepen the emotional schism and pose yet another dilemma. It is so easy to point fingers when looking from the outside in. Having come from a very intense family upbringing( yes we were loud and not above getting physical) I can understand why some may see Lu Feng as toxic. Growing up we had another saying for it. We would say they love hard. Now if I can just get past this next episode I may be able to hang in
there until the end. Keep those spoilers coming.

Need a bl to calm your nerves and put a smile on your face after ep 7 try Dual Stars. It’s short and sweet…

Thank you ! I am really enjoying reading your comments and the different perspectives. Thanks for keeping the remarks directed at the characters and the storyline itself. I really can only stand to look at short clips. Too many triggers. That may change depending on the ending which I hope will not be sad or open ended.

That is also why I can only look at bits and pieces at a time. Unfortunately I can relate to her because I grew up in her world. When my cousin’s young son came out as gay I stayed quiet. My cousin disowned his son. His mother threw him into the street. His grandmother said nothing. His brother and sisters turned their back on him. He fled. For awhile we kept in touch on social media but then it was like he vanished. We did not deal with it correctly. We were too ashamed. I should have reminded myself how my father handled it years earlier when he found out his nephew was gay. He accepted him with love and kindness. I still have a picture of him attending a family gathering at our home. His mom, my mom, our grandfather all embraced him. My dad’s side of the family handled it the right way. My mother’s side of the family did not.I wish you peace and happiness.

What you are saying sounds good and makes perfectly good sense. It also calls for empathy and unconditional love. However the reality is that this mother actually represents the majority and not the minority in most countries including those that on the surface preach tolerance and equality. Unfortunately I have watched sons bend under the pressure. Never underestimate the love between a mother and her son. Even I have questioned why this segment had to be included but in the context of the overall storyline it had to be told with no filter or dilution. If it causes one to feel empathy and compassion for either of the two male lovers the goal has been accomplished.

I am loving the storyline with Nao and Suer. It feels
authentic and real. Unfortunately the fight between the two rival teams is not uncommon in some areas. Even professional teams have come to blows. I am also starting to like Suer’s brother.

Lol…I noticed that too and questioned!!!!

Short and sweet! I really enjoyed it! I was able to binge watch in one day! The storyline was believable. The main leads had great chemistry.
