This is why I hate most bl series with more than 12 episodes. 10 more episodes to go and we have the obligatory…
I don’t know exactly what will happen, but if there really is a breakup, I do think it would be a cliché choice for a series that, up until now, managed to avoid being cliché. I hope it’s just a short fight and that’s it.
I love this series so much—it’s incredibly moving, even at such an advanced stage. I rush home just to watch another episode. I’m amazed at how successful it is, especially with episodes that are quite long—40 minutes isn’t short—and by episode 13, most of it still relies mainly on the interaction between just one couple(The second couple gets very little screen time.). It’s creativity in every sense of the word.
Episode 13 shows how important it is to preserve humor even as the series progresses and the relationship deepens with more drama. That rarely happens—90% of shows in any language tend to become sad and overly dramatic after a certain point, abandoning the comedic elements.And that’s one of the reasons for the script’s success.
The characters are communicating—even though there’s still concealment and lies, there’s a dialogue that acknowledges and examines it. The conversations are relatively brief and superficial, but there’s still emotional engagement. From the moment they revealed their feelings, they started talking, and that’s not something to take for granted. Usually, drama arises from misunderstandings or lack of communication, but in this case, it gets resolved rather quickly because there is dialogue.
i thought the lighting effects and stuff was less annoying this time, or maybe i’m just used it bcs of rewatching…
It definitely improved compared to last time, no doubt… and there’s even an “uncut” version. I just hope the next one will be better and less 80s—something a bit more 2025.
At least they tried to make us assume what happened the night before(WSW). chinese isnt Thailand... so im not…
Thai shows aren’t necessarily better at these scenes—they just go to the other extreme with too much light. I wasn’t comparing it to Thai dramas, just to other scenes in the same show, which feel a bit more modern. This one feels old-fashioned, with the trumpet music, bokeh from the 80's and outdated cross-dissolves, even though the rest of the show feels modern.
Isn't that a way to 'censor' intimate scenes? I feel like it's understandable that they do things like that so…
I’m really not comparing it to Thai series—I’m comparing it to other scenes within the same show, like the kiss scenes, which are much better. I think it’s just poor editing, not censorship. Maybe that’s simply their approach to these scenes, using lights and cross dissolves to stretch a one-minute scene into three, but there are better ways to do that. I’m not the only one pointing it out—many people are complaining about it, so I was hoping they’d take it seriously.

I don't think it's censorship, because the behind-the-scenes footage is actually more daring and transparent. So in my opinion, it's just bad editing. Also, the dubbing is really bad—the sound itself. There are way too many loud breaths, and there's no proper balance like in the series "Desire," where the audio is more polished. You don't hear all those heavy breaths and unwanted noises in every line.
I like the scenes where there’s interaction between the main characters, but the background music is really bad, and the rest of the scenes are very slow and boring. The dubbing of the main character Hua Yong is extremely monotone—like a robot. It’s a bit disappointing and takes away from the enjoyment of watching.
guys ... be honest ... did they edit out the love scene? I'm struggling to believe they didn't.Im not one of those…
I’m starting to think it’s just poor editing. All these cross dissolves, blurs, and lighting effects are seriously bad editing. The rest of the series isn’t edited like this at all. And the behind-the-scenes footage is way bolder than this edit, so I no longer think it’s about censorship.
Please do not post intimate scenes on socials we still have a long way to go I dont want this drama to be canceled…
What’s the point of writing here? Who even looks at this? Everyone posting it are Chinese or Asian users who aren’t even here. And anyway, the behind-the-scenes footage is way bolder than the scenes in the actual series, which are constantly blurred. Ugh… it’s so frustrating.
12 episode was funny and excellent, but once again they fumbled the intimate scene. It’s unclear why they use transitions like cross dissolves, blurring, and lighting effects, and then cut the moment short. It’s such a shame.
