I personally dont think this ending is worst. At least I can rewatch this ending and have hope. Could not do that with Make Every Day Count.

I didnt like the teddy bear ending either but the worst ending for me was Make Every Day Count …it was pure heartache and when they came up with a “look a like” character that even made the pain worst.

Just one more point…Su Yu has the exact same car as Wu Bi….I want a boyfriend like Wu Bi….I take it back….watching ep 24 is a must….it reminds me of when a relative raced past the firefighters into a burning building to rescue her handicapped teenage son. She was a tiny person and he was deadweight….but she managed to get him out. Even as a child when I heard about it I thought that is some kind of love. Watching Su Yu carry Wu Bi I thought that is some kind of love. Can any bl top Stay With Me? Not this year at least. The bar has been set so high. I never but series with a open or sad ending on my rewatch list. This is the exception.

Lol…thank you for clarifying….believe me there is a huge difference between porn and the sexual dalliance in our beloved Only Friends….love your example of catching two neighbors together…watching Khao getting jealous over First is so much fun.

Well that is ok with me….hopefully the evil cousin drove himself off a cliff and put an end to our misery…lol…hated the character but loved the actor. He played his role well.

I was wondering why so many omissions….the entire cast was awesome!

Me too….I find shipper characters intrusive and totally unnecessary

I am trying so hard to let this go but this whole series just keeps playing in my head and touching my heart. What greater love than being willing to sacrifice your life for the one you love. This is what
Wu Bi does…without hesitation….and the length Su Yu goes to in an attempt to save Wu Bin is love in its purest form. As much as I hoped for a different ending I now realize just how perfect an ending this truly was….we had to see for ourselves just how deep their love is for one another. Words alone would not be enough. Those who have read the second book say they do end up happily together. I certainly hope so.

Please go ahead and watch….you wont be disappointed. It is just that good.

Yes , I read that production is scheduled to start in September and a tentative release date has been set for January 2024. I sure hope that is true.

Yayyyyy……8.5👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Well deserved!Stay By Me has edged out Moonlight Chicken for the #1 bl so far in 2023! Despite the ending so happy viewers obviously recognized the overall artistry of this series and the outstanding performances of Xu Bin and Zhang Jiong. Kudos to the entire cast and production team.

Great! I loved To Sir With Love and I am loving Law of Attraction as well. I enjoy seeing actors take on different characters and Jam and Film have such great chemistry. I really think they could play any role.

I agree. I still have the ost It Might Be You in my head.

Lol…I am going from one extreme to another….from Stay With Me to Only Friends…. what a smorgasbord ! I love it!

Wow! What a hot start! This is going to be a fun ride! Raunchy and raw! I
love it already! For mature audiences only….if you want light and fluffy this may not be your cup of tea…lol

Thank you for sharing. It just pains me to think that real lives may be affected when these actors were playing a fictional character.

I know we are still grieving but if you need something bl to soothe your heart try Law of Attraction or Be My Favorite. Also, Dangerous Romance starts next week. And we will always have Moonlight Chicken , The Eclipse and Semantic Error as backup antidotes.

One parting note. I am actually smiling. If you are familiar with any similar Chinese productions you know just the sheer making of this series was a daring feat in itself and they did a damn good job
considering what they were up against. I go back to Uncontrolled Love, Killer and Healer , Addicted and Advanced Bravely. In the first two there was such an outrage over the ending they even made an alternative happy ending episode. In Addicted there was supposed to be a season two. There were clips of the second season shown but the entire series was never released. I can no longer even find those clips but like the second book of Stay With Me there was a time jump during which they were apart and then were supposed to be reunited and pick up their romance. As I mentioned before there were clips but the entire second season was never released. That is why I am personally not holding my breathe for season 2, especially if it is going to need Chinese approval. Of course the Chinese are masters at
innuendo and symbolism so do not expect the same type of explicit language and physical actions that we see in bls from Thailand and even Korea. My biggest hope at this point is that these fine young actors who starred in Stay With Me are not censored and are able to receive the proper recognition that they deserve. I look forward to seeing them again, hopefully together. Take care.

You are absolutely correct. If you go back and look at what happened to the main leads in Addicted they were interrupted by Chinese authorities and forced to separate when trying to appear together at an event in China. I understand they were banned from appearing together. Fortunately both have been able to continue their careers but separately.

Well, its over. What can I say? Apparently there is writers block when it comes to writing endings. I had high hopes since this was the same screenwriter as Advancing Bravely but she seems to be suffering from the same disease. I think it was all very predictable when the cousin resurfaced but I thought at least we would see Su Yu at his bedside and Wu Bi close to death but still alive. I assume showing them together at the end was too much to ask for. For me it ended at ep 22. This ending felt rushed and made less sense than the ending for Addicted. Nobody was at the hospital except Su Yu during the surgery. I guess we have to assume the cousin is holed up somewhere. Anyway It was a wonderful ride. I am
really not too interested in season 2. I envision a time jump and the majority of the episodes rehashing the accident and the years inbetween. I wont change my rating . I still think it is one of the best bl series in 2023. Xu Bin and Zhang Jiong were awesome. I will rewatch but only up to ep22. Until next time take care.
