Don't Call Me President in Bed (iQIYI Short) 7/20/26 8.0/10 BL (AI)

They did, and they returned to a special place which they found so peaceful before.

Shen Run's father, Shen Zhebai, was married when Xie Shu/Yu liked FL's mother. If you recall Shen Che was only saved by their mother because she slipped him a pill that imitated death. So he woke up buried underneath their mother and survived that atrocity.

I really enjoyed it. Lots of layers of secrets to peel along the way for both the leads. It was faster-paced in the beginning, then as secrets get unraveled, it slowed down near the end. For me, it was a satisfying ending with villains getting their due.

From the film's IG account, student is 21, so NOT a minor. Stop saying pedo bait when you know nothing. That's two ADULTS having a consensual relationship.

🎬 : boy with caution

Jang Ki-woo is a 32-year-old temporary high-school teacher whose dream of becoming a permanent teacher was derailed by a damaging rumor involving a student four years earlier. Since then, he has moved between contract teaching jobs while trying to maintain a flawless image.
At his new school, Ki-woo meets Lee Hyun-jae, a 21-year-old student who has been held back and is avoided by many of his classmates. Unlike everyone else, Ki-woo doesn't simply judge Hyun-jae by his reputation—he genuinely tries to understand him. This attention gradually becomes important to Hyun-jae, and the two develop complicated feelings.
The story focuses on their emotional connection while dealing with the difficult teacher-student boundary, Ki-woo's troubled past, and the judgments surrounding Hyun-jae.

They said the student is 21 and the teacher is 28. That's a 7-year gap. The student is not 17 like you claimed.

I found it on YT with an incorrect description: https://youtu.be/JVdGUOcmI4M?si=36yba0OkV_SLeX2U

That's his mother, btw.

re: "But with that idiot heir sympathetically crying.... He might just devote himself to her" I didn't interpret his crying that way at all. I thought it was heartbreak for himself and nothing to do with second sister. I mean, he was so, so close to marrying Qing Yuan and really thought he had. I would be beyond heartbroken if I were in his shoes and would be crying for days, whether anyone else around me was crying.

The teacher is 28. The student is 21. Explain to me why that's pedophilia.

Oh no 7-year age gap, that should be illegal, that's immoral 🙄 Cue the morality police.

iQIYI

6 eps went by so quickly. I was bummed to have to wait until tomorrow.

I would like to add Ok Taec Yeon who played Jang Jun Woo /Jang Han Seok in Vincenzo, I had to wait a couple of years before I could watch him in anything else, because he truly embraced his psychopath role. The guy was scary.

It was Zhang Zhun's umbrella, borrowed from him for Zhen Xin and his co-star -- from the first time Zhen Xin first noticed Zhang Zhun, who was eating at that time (he was the stunt double for the Zhen Xin's female co-star). I'm guessing Zhen Xin meant to return the umbrella.

I'll have to rewatch, but I thought they were together. but surely, Zhang Zhun would have known. There would be other clues...

So, early on, I thought he might have been pretending to forget that night because he hadn't owned up to wanting Zhen Xin. Now, though, with Zhang Zhun implying he hadn't called him Fang Chi off-screen and his look when he saw those photos, Zhang Zhun may have completely forgotten their first night together. Grave repercussions.
