Boy, ain't that the truth? The way he portrayed intense sexual arousal was magnificent...I particularly remember how he raised his cheek and face up against LC's while writhing in sexual arousal. He was like a seductive snake in heat...really raw and primal. Kudos to the actor for his bravery and performance.

They're quoting themselves I guess, which makes the content automatically more authoritative. :P

Bye! At least you have the conviction to follow your perspective and stop watching.

So are you still watching, Church Lady?

Why the hell don't you just NOT WATCH? Who cares what non-BL fans think? Are you the morals police. Sex is perhaps the most powerful aspect of human existence. It informs and effects almost everything else about us in endless ways. At the same time, it is just a plot device, like murder, robbery and kidnapping, which are portrayed in a million different stories. Why is it the SEX that gets those like you into such a state?

You've stopped watching?

So you have stopped watching, correct?

I think the mom is a saint. She is handling the situation between the guys with a straight-forward, non-freak out approach that fosters communication and understanding. I don't think she knows that YJ planned the hotel incident, nor does she know exactly what happened. In fact, she knows very few details at all. What she knows is that her son is in love with his step-brother and that the vice-versa appears to be the case. Instead of going BL-psycho-controlling-mom on YJ, she is offering emotional support without the hateful selfishness we're so used to in BL moms who find out their sons are gay.

The bath scene was entirely LC's dream/fantasy. We saw him awaken from it. In the dream sequence MR is in the bath in clothing he did not wear the night of the Karaoke party. It was cool how at first it appeared the sequence was MR's recollection of the event as he was thinking it through with XS at the restaurant, but it ended as LCs dream. Well-done.

I find MR to be facially stunning as well. And that long neck! And that thick, gorgeous hair! :D As for the rest of him, he is WAY too skinny for my taste, but it is cool how the design team is using his height, body type, face and fashion choices to make him look like a Yaoii character illustration come to life. In some shots, that effect is really stunning. In particular, when he undressed for the bath and they shot him from behind with the tub to hide his butt, I was amazed at the degree to which his body and posture looked like a Yaoii drawing. The actor has obviously studied Yaoii and is moving and holding his body in such ways as to emphasize that reference.

I wondered the same in that moment. I was guessing it was something like "I will help get you moved back in here/I will help make this happen" maybe also referring to dealing with the dad's anticipated reaction to finding out that his two sons are a couple. lol For myself, I think the idea of XS moving back in with the family under ANY circumstances is insane. Can you imagine the atmosphere? Furthermore, YJ is plenty old enough that he should be moving out anyway. So YJ and XS should be planning to get a place together, though I think it's too soon for that as YJ needs psychotherapy for a while first, or moving him into XS's bedroom in the house with the two roommates.

lol. Yeah, I'm a freak who needs help like the rest of the 85 percent of bl-watchers who love the gray-area, hot, dark and fascinating aspects of sex and life in general.

You're a douche bag who needs to stay away from BLs. You can't handle it. Or rather, you thoroughly enjoy the sex stuff you claim to abhor, it gives you moist thoughts, and then you get to also pretend to be outraged by it. Either way, win-win, so go with it and enjoy.

As you know, I don't agree any "rape" occurred. So I would hardly advocate for something that was not part of the episode.

You ARE an SJW dear. Please stop bothering BL fans with your prudish, silly, sex-fearing nonsense.

If I implied LC's dream was a memory, I didn't mean to. What I meant was that I admired the way in which the director constructed the scene so that as it began it seemed to be WR's memory of what happened as he sat in the restaurant with XS...then as the scene played out and ended it became LC's dream/fantasy, realized by us when he woke up.

Curious as to which character was "cartoonishly evil?"

lol. Oh well then, pardon me.

You need to work on your reading comprehension. Much of my point is that there are miliions of different opinions inside AND outside the USA, and we don't need censors or religious zealots or anyone else telling any of those people how to feel and what to see. Does EVERY SINGLE PERSON in your country feel the same way about this silly ban on fourth-cousin marriages? No, of course they don't. I bet plenty of people leave the country together to get married and live elsewhere. Fourth cousins are practically not related at all, it's a scientific fact, whether it's in USA or where you are. I am a gay man living in the USA. If you believe every single person here is OK with my existence, you are very uninformed.

"Have we not yet established that rape shouldn't be used in a storyline that develops into romance?"

Who the hell is WE? And no, the BL audience has emphatically NOT established any such thing. The ratings on this series went through the roof after last week's episode. People love the juicy stuff. It's the Western SJWs, PC Prudes and blue noses who are screaming bloody murder, and you are in a minority here. Stop watching BLs. They're not your thing.

Thank you for writing this. Your "long" comment helps me to further understand and appreciate a series I am enjoying very much..

The drama is less than half over. Let it develop and see what you think when all is said and done.

The bathtub scene was hot because it was a fantasy/dream. Why would a person fantasize about something they desire in a non-appealing manner? To me, one of the best parts of that scene was how it went from seeming to be Mu Ren's recollection gathering itself in his mind as he sat in the restaurant to our realization that it is actually Li Cheng's dream, or is it both? Very cool and beautiful.

I love the depth of YJ's character and his many layers. I agree the writers are doing a great job. YJ's behavior is at times abusive toward XS, but that can change. If I were XS, I would make psychotherapy a requirement of accepting YJ as a partner.

I LOVE the two fujoshis! They are the comic relief and are also driving the MR/LC story line.

I also love how the way MR is built, his looks and the way the designers dress him make him look like a living Yaoii character. :) I'd like to buy him a couple of hamburgers, though.
