I believe that an early draft of the script probably took the relationship aspect a lot farther. I've noticed that Bank tends to play characters who are pursued by other guys but who never end up consummating anything, so I wonder if his participation required that the script for Spike be toned down.

I really like the side story for Xuan DaYu. He's handsome and wealthy but has such a chip on his shoulder due to his unrequited feelings for Xia Yao, so it's touching to watch him slowly open up to what has to be one of the most unlikely pairings in BL. (And yes, this is a BL drama. For me the subtext is part of the fun, and I'm grateful that they did as much as they could to push the limits of Chinese censorship.)

Why don't the bio pages let us upload pics? :(

This guy - so beautiful and so humble. He deserves only the greatest success.

She deserves another lead role. She proved in Hormones that she's a fantastic actress, and her role in "Kiss Me Again" made poor use of her talents.

THIS! Me too! Zee is sex on legs.

We shouldn't begrudge anyone the joys of what truly matters in life.

There's no way any man could be better looking than this guy.

Make Our Days Count

I'm about halfway into this and have to say that I'm just so charmed by the FL.

They had a tough job to do after all the build-up over the first 11 episodes but this one delivered so beautifully! At some points I was breathless!

The chemistry between Saint and Zee is off the charts. Saifah and Zon aren't far behind. After the letdown of MODC and the intensity of TTTS I'm glad to welcome a lighthearted series that will keep me excited for the next three months.

It's my favorite trope. Episode 1 set the table nicely for the feast to come.

They aren't related but it seems that when they were reincarnated, Dean was born into Intouch's family tree. I suppose we might find out that Pharm was reborn into Korn's family.

I was wondering how I'd feel if Korn had been reincarnated as Pharm and Intouch had come back as Dean.

Hmm. I'd probably feel confused lol.

I agree! And make it a role with some dramatic edge to it. I think she'd be perfect for an "ugly duckling" story where she prevails over the mean girls lol.

"The Luckiest Boy"

Yes, and with a nice "poo" graphic to complete the experience. :)

The production crew is acting like they can't figure out how to share the special episode with international viewers ... after 13 episodes where they did that just fine. I'm so irritated that tweets about the series and cast are starting to piss me off. They need to be careful not to alienate a huge part of their fan base.

We could legit miss this episode entirely and not really lose the storyline at all. The only progress that was made was at the very end when Pharm said he'd go to meet Intouch's sister / Dean's grandmother. The rest was a fluff-and-angst fest.

The Intouch sobbing scene (which felt endless) was all in a dream that Pharm was having, but it went on far too long. Which isn't cool, because we're all sitting there watching, trying to think of what could be causing him to break down for almost that entire segment, only to have them throw the "it was only a dream" twist at us in the end.

I thought the part where Pharm got emotional over tasting the soup was pretty effective though.
