Fuck, can this series get any more frustrating. Ep 11 and yet again, just 5 minutes of screen time with the main leads together. Why did the writers make them the main leads - because they're obviously not! BL writers, lesson for you, BL fans don't want to wait to the final episode for the 'main leads' to get together! Nah! It just doesn't do it for us.
However, one thing this episode did make clear to me, is that the ex, Yi Zi Tong doesn't want Jin Yu Zhen back, instead he's trying to help him to move on from their past relationship and choose Shi Lei, by being constantly in his face and flirting with Shi Lei to make him jealous.
Elite rocks in general, although some of the stuff that goes down is pretty unlikely. lol Nitiman, on the other…
@Flypsyde, your comments throughout this series have kept me highly entertained from here in the UK. You're absolutely spot on with your critic. Have to say, I've literally laughed out loud at your feud with Sunflower98, utterly hilarious - obviously completely missed your point throughout. Oh and by the way, you were the reason I went away and watched Elite across all 4 seasons in a day - absolutely genius writing and music.
As to sex scenes, I get the fluff surrounding sex in Asian BLs, however, it does from time-to-time get utterly tiresome and actually disrespects the intelligence of the audience. Sometimes I ask, what are the writers afraid of? Its implausible that a couple wouldn't want to kiss, touch, fiddle, fondle and eventually have sex with each other at every opportunity and especially if sleeping night-after-night in the same bed - so utterly unrealistic. We're more open, honest and liberated about sex here in the UK. Although, going back to Elite sex scenes, it did make me laugh that 9/10 the sex would take place at the first meeting - that shit definitely doesn't happen as often as portrayed here, but did make me chuckle! Great series.
Agree with all the other comments- this ep was soooo disappointing and wasted so much time with no explanations…
Agree. I'm growing increasingly frustrated with the screen time given to the 2nd leads, with literally no progression at all in the relationship with the leads. Does the Director and indeed writers believe that we invested our time in 10 episodes, to watch stupid fillers which make no sense and the 2nd leads progress to 'marriage' status. It's just totally ridiculous! What we'll now be left with is 20 minutes each of rushed episodes.
