Please write this fic and put it on AO3, I will read it. Plus they need more fic in general.

They literally had a sex scene that was sex until climax, that earns it the +18 rating.

I desperately hope that this writer doesn't write for HIStory again, these kind of tropes need to be killed off in BL and with such a big series keeping it going it breaks my heart.

I swear I thought we had gotten past this kind of thing, it's boring af and doesn't further a story. Get something new.

Note to some people in the comments and folks who have yet to comment: Do not attempt to invalidate the feelings of queer people when it comes to queer content. Even if that content is made primarily for straight folks, queer folks still consume it and still have more of a leg to stand on when it comes to criticism about it.

I literally forgot to mention the GF because I had forgotten about her lmao, that is how pointless it was for them to mention her. My friend and I were talking about it and I agreed when she said that even the trope of "I'm only gay for this one guy" is tired af and it was annoying to see it play out yet again in this show. Though I'm glad we did get at least 2 fully gay characters in Sun Bo and Lu Zhi, who were adorable and I love them forever and ever amen.

Looking back I see now that the writing overall was not as great as I thought, I think I was just so happy and surprised at how they were handling the relationship that I overlooked it. I did not expect it to end so abruptly either, I was just sitting watching the scene and thought it was very weird that words were popping up on a still moving scene. I think I can sum up the last 2 episodes with one word, sloppy.

my queer ass is tired of them as well. also tired of people thinking it's good writing to kill off queer characters because "realism".

Real life is not fiction, there is no reason why this show couldn't have ended happily and there is no reason why they needed to add another body to the "bury your gays" pile.

When you put it all that way then it sounds like they just used YXG as a tool for Hao Ting to better himself and once he was a better person YXG could be done away with.

I get what you're saying but it's still lazy writing to just throw away all of the character development and turn Hao Ting into a closed off man who only cares about school because his partner helped him.

It's not just about it not being a happy ending (but on the other hand what's wrong with expecting queer characters to not just be killed off), it's about taking all of the building and growing both of these characters did over the course of the show and just throwing it out the window.

In the end none of the show seems to matter once YXG is gone, Hao Ting getting into school doesn't matter anymore, him going to Stanford doesn't matter, his family learning to accept his relationship is pointless. They took everything that was focused on in the show and got rid of it in 2 episodes, that's just lazy writing.

I am doing a very bad thing and writing this while my emotions are still high, but these are my raw emotions and thoughts after finishing the last 2 episodes so here we go.

Who thought that throwing in the "bury your gays" trope into a pretty progressive and realistic (as realistic as a drama gets) high school bl drama was a great idea? I'd love to meet that (probably straight) writer and give them a talking to.

My heart is broken, I had such high hopes for this show early on in the season, I think it had great writing and the acting was phenomenal, hats off to Wayne and HJZ because they really brought these characters to life and made every moment they were on screen together electric. I will certainly not be knowingly watching anything else written by Shao Hui Ting, I don't respect this type of writing and I don't appreciate it in the least.

I have awareness and that is how I know it doesn't, I'm not someone who apparently hasn't learned right from wrong and has to be taught it from media, unlike you. It is up to the individual to police what they watch and read if they don't like certain things, hence why there are warning labels on movies with violence or sex, and the same for albums with explicit content.

The warning at the beginning of LBC is the same, if you aren't mentally able to tell fiction from reality then you shouldn't be watching anything.

Honey, you are whining. You're complaining that a drama doesn't tell people what is right and wrong, it's ridiculous what you're doing and it really shows that you haven't been out in the world long, if at all.

I support writers and whatever they choose to write, yes. This is where common sense comes in, it isn't a writers job to hold the viewers hand and make sure they know that certain things are wrong, we are supposed to be aware enough to know. I'm very sorry if you were never taught right from wrong but it isn't the responsibility of a writer to make sure you know it.

Relationships are complex, even those between families, just because you have hangups about certain kinds of relationships doesn't mean that you need to be out here whining about a FICTIONAL drama portraying a relationship you don't like. Sit down.

Dude, you need to stop thinking that fiction is supposed to be pure and good and nobody is multilayered and complex, that isn't how the real world is and it shouldn't be like that in fiction.

I'm not sure what is so disturbing about two step-brothers being in love but okay.

I won't throw other shows or ships under the bus because at the end of the day they are fiction and fiction should show us all types of relationships that the writers want to explore. I don't need to say some other relationship is toxic in order to uplift the content of MODC.

While I adore that these relationships are as realistic as a drama can get (gotta have some suspension of belief), I also adore TT and I even see the point in having KT happen the way it did, the writer wanted to explore different themes and they should certainly be able to do that.

It's up to us as mature people, in most cases young adults, to know what is and isn't right in real life and to know that certain behaviors in fiction should not be replicated.

I know this isn't your post but I would like to say that the links on gcinee are the official line tv links, of course this is not true for all of the links for their dramas but the ones for TharnType are.

I honestly don't understand some of the comments this show is getting, too much sex/explicit sex? You do realize that teenagers, yes, even queer ones, have sex, right? I for one am so happy that this show makes an effort to show realistic depictions of sex with no hiding or shying away from it. As a queer teen, this kind of show would have made me more aware of what I was feeling and that I was normal for feeling it. I hope that it can help teens in other countries (especially Asian countries, where being queer is still looked down upon by a majority of people) feel the same way.

There is so little positive mass media representation for queer people in Asia that seeing such an adorable relationship, even with its flaws can be such a positive thing and I hope that the non-queer people complaining about the sex in this show can see that.
