I'd been wondering what the "ocean" thing was about ... thanks for the explanation!

Does anyone have a Weibo account who could help me get in touch with someone on there?

I did English captions for a really cool FMV that I saw on Twitter and would like to give the subtitle file to the creator. So, you'd need to contact them and give them the download link.

Thanks in advance!

The female vocalist really threw me off! Are there different versions of the song due to copyright issues?

Twitter's a tough neighborhood today. My feed overflows with posts of the bloody accident scene.

I don't consider talking to a wall to be a good debate. I'll just concede that you have interesting ways of looking at things.

The mere fact that you have to contort your argument so such an absurd extent in order to disagree with my quite sensible observation makes me wonder if you are even sincere in what you're posting on here.

Wu Bi's wish was left on during their New Year celebration, so I think it was a wish to spend every New Year (or holiday) with Su Yu.

That's why Su Yu knew that Wu Bi might be moved to tears when he told him he'd spend every holiday with him.

I think this person needs the script to have one of the boys say to the other, "Hey, we're sleeping in the same bed and having sex and we love each other." The subtle clues and tells that the production took such pains to insert won't work on people who need everything spelled out.

But they do sleep in the same bed. We see it in Episode 24 when Wu Bi kisses Su Yu twice before getting up to go exercise.

The simple fact is that you are a literalist who seems to struggle with subtlety.

There are hundreds of TV shows and movies featuring a husband and wife who have a sexual relationship, where the script is filled with flirtation and innuendo but doesn't show any part of the sexual act. It doesn't mean the husband and wife aren't having sex.

I can't explain your selective blindness except maybe to think that it's because in this case it's two men, you need to see it to believe it.

In the scene in the classroom after the final exam, where Mao Chong and the rest of the class are gathered and he declares that they're all finally free, as everyone is cheering, Wu Bi's deskmate puts his hand on Wu Bi's shoulder and Wu Bi angrily pushes him away.

This made me realize that for the entire time Wu Bi was attending that high school, he didn't make friends with a single person other than Su Yu! Not even his deskmate rated a celebratory goodbye.

Wu Bi had a singular focus that never wavered.

And I think it was love at first sight -- the kind that made him shoot cupid's arrows at his beloved even as he felt angry over that initial rejection.

Aside from the melodramatic ending, the only major thing I'd change here would be to have a different arc at the beginning for when Wu Bi has his complete 180 regarding Su Yu, after realizing that Su Yu is the son of the "old man" who helped him move.

They wasted a lot of screen time with the gang of thugs, and that diverted the plot into the realm of absurdity. This included Wu Bi's superhero fight skills and Wu Bi's quip about the school apparently getting better security. Su Yu was too smart to accept that explanation.

I love "the chase", and it would have been fun to see Su Yu's confusion as Wu Bi suddenly started trying to get in his good graces. Su Yu would be suspicious as hell, and Wu Bi would have to work hard.

The breakthrough could still come when Su Yu's dad somehow sees the two of them at the school at the same time and speaks up when he recognizes Wu Bi. The rest of the story could continue "as is" from there.

Ah yes, good point.

I think the final straw was Wu Bi's comment that he'd let Su Yu have his father's company if Su Yu asked for it.

Of course, Su Yu would have to be interested in the company in the first place (unlikely). Too bad Wu Bi didn't also make that clear.

It's slippery stuff that helps with penetration in sexual intercourse. It can be useful when condoms or adult toys are used and can apply to any orifice below the waist. 😮

Now there's a paragraph I would never have expected to type on MDL. 😄

My initial reaction is to feel that the last two episodes were rushed, and felt somewhat like they belonged to a different series. The endless series of flashbacks got to feel like overkill. Why not give us more of the scene in the hospital?

I'd like a second season if only for the cousin to get his karmic retribution, but I can also see potential for it to be about Wu Bi regaining consciousness after a couple of years and confronting the fact that Su Yu has moved on with his life. Su Yu is resilient and rational, so he'd eventually be able to pick himself up and face his new reality.

So, as Wu Bi confronts how Su Yu's life has changed and campaigns to be part of it, we'd get "the chase" all over again -- and I love the chase!

This best explains my own opinion. The ending had to be ambiguously tragic, with wiggle room to pick things back up and continue the story if there are no penalties for cast and crew.

Based on AvenueX, though, it's my understanding that the government limits on episodes and duration are brand new, and this was produced before they were in effect.

The cousin seemed to be up to some shady dealings and was scrambling to clean things up.

Since he had everything nearly settled by the time Wu Bi arrived, I'm worried that his intention was to get Wu Bi involved so he can set up Wu Bi to take the fall if any bad stuff gets exposed. Apparently, his family might have already set up Wu Bi's mom to get blamed for the problem years ago with the suppliers.

That whole family is sketchy as hell.

I'll paste what I wrote below:

It was lube.

Wu Bi's herculean effort to keep himself from losing it after his dad fell for his explanation was the first confirmation.

And it if was really lip balm, why would Wu Bi be glad that the label on the tube is in English?

In addition there's a BTS clip of the filming of the wrestling scene, which happens after Wu Bi discovers Mao Chong's headphones on the bedside table. During the BTS the director is trying to decide where to put the tube of lube on the floor next to the boys. Wu Bi is trying to get Su Yu's pants off him, for reasons that should be obvious. That lube would be an essential part of Wu Bi's action plan.
