LMAOOOO

Yeah, that's the biggest mic drop for me.

Yes, that's certainly true. There's a richness to this production that is so rare.

Over at the "boyslove" subreddit, one of the members has done an extensive analysis of the visual language used for the sets, costumes and cinematography, and how each of these contains its own cues.

Quick examples:

The rainbow flag umbrella in the flashback of Su Yu with his mother, and the way that the dress worn by Han Bokuang when he impersonates a girl incorporates the colors and design of the transgender flag.

I recommend checking it out.

I'm starting to think we're not watching the same series. 😉

11) The posters in Wu Bi's room from all those plays and films dealing with queer subjects.

So, Wu Bi's concern with the girl showing up would be that he'd lose his living situation with Su Yu? You can't be serious. Maybe you think that what he actually says in Chinese is "Don't hassle Su Yu, because Su Yu is my roommate"?

Occam's Razor applies here. The simplest explanation is the correct one. When a person talks about another person being "theirs", there is a tradition established by countless prior examples from literature and film (and our own dating lives) as to what that means. If you're going to argue that it suddenly means something entirely different in this series then you have some work to do in proving it.

The screenwriter provides an analogy for Wu Bi's "love torment" that is right there in that scene. As Duoduo relates the story to Su Yu she includes the fact that they are both in love with someone they feel they can't have, and she says that they understand each other in that special way.

If she had talked about wishing she'd had a dad and a stable family life, it would weigh in favor of your position. To insist that he's talking about family is to willfully disregard the entirety of what Duoduo said.

This thing makes “Future” look like ITSAY

Two of them are a puppy. 😆😆😆

I was thinking about this too.

The three of them buried the box during the New Year holiday, so I think Wu Bi's wish was that he could spend every holiday with Su Yu.

That wish was one of the ways Su Yu could confirm that the evil girl was lying about Wu Bi. It's also why Su Yu decided to reconcile with Wu Bi on a holiday, and why Su Yu teased Wu Bi that he'd make him cry over a promise that from now on, Su Yu would spend every holiday with him.

Wu Bi literally told Duoduo that he is being "tormented by love".

Can anyone explain Duoduo's poem for Su Yu's mom ... the one about the watermelon?

I got the sense that Su Yu was confessing he felt the same way about Wu Bi

It might be the girl's imagination, though. Su Yu's glasses suddenly disappear before Wu Bi leans down.

If it breaks through the BL Barrier, I think the sky's the limit.

We need t-shirts that proclaim our status as watchers from the very first day. 😆

Don't be so sure he's straight, at least not 100%. At some point those two guys are supposed to pair up as well.

I love how it took only a few minutes to dispatch with the evil girlfriend. You'd think by now that I would have learned the sneaky ways of Asian drama cliffhangers.

Also, someone who understands the Mainland's censorship guidelines can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe one of the things they forbid is for a man to dress in women's clothing. Male characters are required to be traditionally masculine, and that got royally shrugged off today.

I’ve wondered if those IGs were created expressly for marketing the series.
