Ji Mingwuan is approximately 7 - 8 years older than Shen Mo, as he's 8 years older than his sister, and she's around Shen Mo's age.

At this point in the story, the two characters are awkward with each other, so the kisses being awkward makes sense. If this continues later in the series, especially after some important developments, then that would be an issue.

OK.... this is an answer for grown-ups. Continue reading if you don't mind unvarnished discussion.








When one is orgasming, especially when attempting to hold the orgasm back, one can often make sounds as though one is in pain, as the pleasure is so keen it does ride a fine line between agony and bliss.

I bailed on the series midway through episode 8, due to being unable to reconcile the series I was watching with the series I had anticipated watching, after the pilot. They're two entirely different series and the one we did end up getting steadily lost my interest. Little Jane proved to be annoyingly indecisive and the mystery of Big Jane turned out to not be so interesting after all.

It's a real shame, because I was looking forward to watching the series they baited us with via the pilot.

Are you being serious or joking? Is it possible that you are genuinely unaware that the noun "enigma" isn't originally connected to omegaverse stories? Omegaverse authors simply took an already anciently established term and adopted it for their stories, but they have no ownership of the term.

It's original meaning, going all the way back thousands of years to ancient Greece, is:
Enigma = person, thing, or situation that is mysterious, puzzling, and very difficult to understand completely.

Key Meanings and Uses
• A mysterious thing: An event, object, or question that defies a clear explanation (for example, the origin of the moon or the smile of the Mona Lisa).
• A puzzling person: Someone whose actions, thoughts, or mixed qualities make them hard to figure out.
• A riddle: An obscure speech or text with a hidden meaning.

Synonyms: Mystery, Riddle, Conundrum, Puzzle.

Clearly, the title is meant to convey that the series is a mystery (likely supernatural) and the teacher, Ajin, is very mysterious.

I noticed that James' eyes also flashed blue right before he saw Ken's aura in the car, in episode 4, and pulled away.

Ken covering James' eyes while they were making love also occurred immediately after James' eyes flashed blue. He likely connected the two moments and felt the hurt of the moment in the car, so didn't want to see the color, again, during that moment. He evidently didn't know that James' ability to see the soul colors is tied to his eyes briefly turning blue, and so recognized that Ken is Nour, but it's unlikely he wouldn't connect the two moments.

If Ken suspects that James is at least partially Nour, he's keeping that to himself for now.

I swear that I'm a grown-up, but by episode 4, every 5 minutes or so, I found myself blurting out loud, like a toddler, "GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!" 🤣🤣 They are so gay for each other, it's hilarious that they keep insisting their series are bromance. Puh-lease. Denial is a river in Egypt, gentlemen.

Yes, I know it's their shtick-- it's what keeps their audience coming back, but at a certain point, the charm of their "we are so gay for each other, but we're going to keep it at just giving each other yearning heart eyes," will wear thin. I guess these fellas will just keep going until they ride this train right off the cliff.

If you've never dry humped yourself to an orgasm, have you really lived? 😂Just kidding, but also not at all. As for the awkwardness, it's evident to me that this is part of the dynamic between the two characters, at this point in their story.

This series having to tone it down from the novel is understandable. Overall, they're doing a good job, and the actor portraying Shen Mo is about as perfect a casting as possible.

If nothing else, at least your immaturity is entertaining. 😅

You've demonstrated that you struggle with writing and clearly with reading. So, why should anyone take your opinion on any of these shows seriously?

@cdrama_fanatic had a valid point. You're going into the "ignore" bucket.

Bravo! This is a truth that many viewers either miss entirely or deliberately overlook.

No Dear, no ChatGPT required when one not only has the ability to write, but has a deep comprehension of the English language. It's a rarity on the internet, I know, but this is how those of us with this ability communicate in the written form, regardless of the platform.

Do you require ChatGPT to craft sentences with a semblance of cohesion? You do appear to be struggling a bit. No judgment; merely an observation.

Instead of verbally going on the attack, which is very boring and the stuff of ill-adjusted teenagers, would you like to answer any of the questions I posed to you in my second reply? If not, we can move on. If you're here, though, to do something other than argue with internet strangers, we could have a relatively interesting dialogue.

A. I am spectacularly fun at parties. Thanks for asking.

B. As for your point about Chinese BLs, it's unwarranted. They're no more nor less focused on younger looking partners than those in western countries are, as well as the other eastern countries.

Would you say that these popular Chinese BLs have childlike looking "submissive" actors?

• A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream
• ABO Desire
• Advance Bravely
• Addicted
• Blue Canvas of Youthful Days
• Deep In
• Falling in Love with a Rival
• Irresistible Love: Secret of the Valet
• To My Shore
• Trapped in Osaka
• The Untamed
• Word of Honor

Would you like a list of the many Thai BLs that have inordinately young looking "submissive" characters?

C. You claim that you look young yourself and aren't bothered by young looking people being in relationships; so, maybe your nitpicking around this subject in Chinese BLs comes from a deeper prejudice towards the Chinese, specifically. Maybe. Maybe not.

Some questions for you:
• Are young looking adults not allowed to have romantic/sexual relationships?

• If they appear, to others, to be teens, then should they hide their intimate relationships to ensure that others aren't made uncomfortable?

• Or, are they only allowed to date those who appear to be the same age as them, so those outside the relationship don't have cause to cringe?

Compared to the trailer, this series is a big dud. I dropped the series midway through episode 8, and ended up giving the episodes I watched an overall rating of 6 on MDL.

Maybe it's a better series, in the end, for certain viewers, but it's definitely NOT what I was interested in watching.

The entire series should be a total of 102 minutes-- 51 mini episodes at 2 minutes each. The episode that is posted online at 50:42 minutes long has to be just part 1 of 2.

SPOILER


Sky and Pakin weren't a couple in the series-- simply two characters who interacted. Note the cast list; they aren't listed together.

Firstly, thank you for the direction, but I will write my replies how I see fit. You can do as you see fit.

Secondly, dear, can you share what you did mean, if you're inclined to do so?

"I don’t know what happened to him here, but he’s acting very strangely, almost like he’s a completely different actor. Maybe he’s having a hard time with such a character."

Gennosuke, as an actor, is similar to the Thai actors Pond Ponlawit Ketprapakorn and Tay Tawan Vihokratana, in that he transforms into a completely different person when portraying different characters. He doesn't attempt to retain a core personality that viewers feel connected to and, therefore, return to watch over and over again, regardless of the series. He commits to the truth of the character he's portraying. This is a sign of great skill in an actor, which is unusual in BLs, which tend to sell the actors instead of the stories. Gennosuke's a completely different person-- physical demeanor, manner of speaking, temperament-- in the vertical series Give a Reward When It Can Do ‘Wait.’ (2025). I have a feeling this mutability, ability to transform entirely, holds true in every role he portrays.

Oh, the frustration.... This is reminding me too much of my younger years, when I allowed longing for another to be the primary state I existed in-- hung up and stalled on the precipice, never falling into anything of substance. I would never willingly return to living life in that way, and because this series keeps dragging this void state of anticipation beyond where it's interesting and, instead, distills down into pure frustration, my interest is rapidly waning. In fact, I'm growing increasingly annoyed.

The continued cold kisses transforms all the supposed longing between Wataru and Chiharu into a pantomime. The actors are playing the parts of two characters who long for each other, and their acting is believable, but once they physically connect, the truth-- that they're two actors who don't feel that way about each other, at all, becomes evident. This makes suspension of disbelief impossible, and instead of watching Chiharu and Wataru muster up the courage to move forward, I'm watching Kazuto and Tomoya in the middle of an acting exercise.

Therefore, what's the point of continuing to balance on the precipice of longing with these characters? Yeah... decision made. Dropping what started off as a promising series. It began as a warm glow, but grew very cold. What a pity.
