No. You have to watch illegally now.

I agree. I think they’ll keep the final episode a secret until released. Makes sense to me. They did give us the rest of the episodes in a week, rather than prolonging it to the end of the month, as originally planned (whatever the reason behind it was). We can wait a day. I wouldn’t be surprised if they put off BTS clips for Ep23 until tomorrow, too.

I know! I was disgusted the entire time- I skipped through quite a bit, hoping the victim would have justice. But nope.

MDL listing this as “gay romance” was diabolical. There is no romance. Can we even say gay? The rapist has an obsession. Period. So because of this, everything he does to the victim is okay and forgiven? Nope. Even the non-con of Dangerous Drugs of Sex was “better” (using this term loosely) than this. No deeper meaning can be found in this because of the direction the went in the end. Glorificarion of rape is all it was.

Just don’t watch it. Literally no reason to do so. Tagging this as a “gay romance” is diabolical on MDLs part. It most definitely is NOT. Nor is it BL. Not even a little. It’s rape. Graphic rape. Followed by the glorification and downplaying of that horribly traumatic experience by others and eventually the victim. There is no true deeper hidden meaning in this movie. Seriously. Anyone who enjoys it needs to be removed from society and given professional help. Immediately. This is NOT a BL. There is no love or romance to be found at all. Anyone who says otherwise is a twisted individual.

The movie belongs firmly in the past- forgotten in a damp, moldy basement under musty discarded boxes covered in cobwebs and creepy crawly critters. Seeiously. Matter of fact, the basement belongs in a forgotten, decrepit house in an abandoned and forgotten town that has been buried under layers of dirt and debris, then filled with a lake.

My sincere advice: Just don’t watch it. Really. It deserves none of your precious time.

Absolutely agree with you. Why was this even made? Who gave money for this to be produced? Literally glorifying and “okaying” rape as a form of ultimate “love” crossing gender boundaries. What. the. actual. F! I can’t believe the rape scene lasted as long as it did. Graphic too. Like, I was disturbed for the actors- who wouldn’t need therapy after that, real or not? I really wonder what the director and screenwriter were trying to accomplish here if not the glorification of rape.

Absolurely agree with you.

Oh Man 23 went for the jugular frfr. Like, I knew it was coming, but they really went all out.

It’s funny, while this series was 2 episodes a week, we wanted more. Now that it’s coming to the finale, we don’t want it to end. I really hope these actors can work together in the future. BL or not. They have amazing on screen chemistry- all 4 of them. Hell, all 6- the Wang “brothers” also blended well in the group.

I’m sad tomorrow is the last day. I wonder if the episode will be longer…

Don’t tell me there’s a book! I dislike surprises so now ill have to find and read it if there’s an English translation.

I love Jet as the supportive bestie. Him being such a kindhearted person- I really wonder what sort of kharmic retribution he deseserved. I have some theories though.

Episode 1 DELIVERED! Story. Cinematography. Music. Acting. All ON POINT. I’m so excited for this- been waiting for so long and I was NOT disappointed at all. The chemistry between Keng and Namping has been amazing since their DMD Friendship days and it’s only gotten better. I really have loved them together and wanted to see them on screen SO BAD!

I love Jet as the supportive bestie. Him being such a kindhearted person- I really wonder what sort of kharmic retribution he deserved. And that guy in the uniform- I bet he has something major to do with it. The curse chick is definitely getting her payback and it has something to do with the uniformed guy and Khem’s soul. Bet she’s a jealous woman who wanted the uniform guy but he loved Khem’s soul back when the curse began. Just a guess, but I’m probably not far off. Still, seeing this all play out will be fun.

The dog was the puppy Khem saved as a kid visiting that master when he was a kid. I wonder if the old master is Peem’a father.

WeiWei and Papa Chi are so fun in the novel. I’m glad it’s still so in the series. I’m also glad his henchmen didn’t beat WeiWei up in the series because they hurt him pretty bad in the novel. When Chi Cheng saw that, he did a number on the guys when he caught them. Chi Cheng is watered down from the novel, but not necessarily in a bad way. He’s less violent. Bro had some seriously anger control management issues with people who messed with his DaBao in the series. It also makes sense that he’s not that violent because he’s not playing a cop like he was in the novel with his dad as a high ranking person in law (I forget his title). Harder to get away with that level of violence if you’re not in law.

I’m seriously not ready for this series to end. I am a little concerned about the release schedule. Does this mean it’ll be taken down soon after airing the finale? That’s my worry.

I watched it using a VPN on Bilibili. Only 1-20 though. No idea when the rest will be uploaded. I wish I could watch it on TVing but it’s not available in my area ☹️

Two episodes today and an episode a day until it ends. We are SO spoiled. I’m both excited and supremely sad that this will be over too soon. Like, what will I do with myself after episode 24 airs? Rewatch the series about 100 more times, I guess.

At least 1- me. But I read your comment and now added it to my watchlist. Thanks!

Yeah. Since that comment, I already rewatched 1-18 again. No skipping. My ADHD dopamine fix is this drama. I just give my brain what it wants. I’m a teacher so I have nothing I need to do until teacher training starts up after the show ends.

I can see this conversation is going nowhere. Enjoy the rest of the series. I know I will.

I did. I believe quite adequately- from rewatching each episode at least a few dozen times and reading the novel. But it’s all good. Plenty of things can explain his choice- whether you agree or not is up to you. I understand why he did it. The episodes leading up to this moment explain it well all by themselves, too.

There’s a reason. I explained it in my comment.

I may actually cry at that part frfr.

I watch it almost once a week or so. I’ve only been watching BLs for a little over a year and have almost 400 under my belt- not counting ongoing and rewatches. I work in education so my breaks are manic episodes of drama-binges.
