Oh really? I had no idea! Thanks captain obvious!

I’ll watch whatever I want and voice my opinion. You know why? Because I can <3

Obviously Zhang Xin can be confused and frustrated but there’s a point where you have to realize you can’t just take advantage of people no matter how you feel. He isn’t a “wild animal” that can’t control himself from SA a drunk co worker. He heard it from Zhun himself that he doesn’t remember. A reasonable person would’ve taken responsibility to clear the air instead of being a creep.

I know this is part of the story and I can only hope Zhang Xin faces some consequences for his actions but this is based off a Chinese BL novel… it’s more likely to be romanticized like how you just did.

Sorry but you comment “reads” as condoning irresponsible behavior and if you didn’t know getting drunk makes you impaired.

It doesn’t matter if he’s a “kiddo” or not.

Personally, I don’t enjoy watching blatant SA or at the very least misconduct. I’ll call it out whenever and wherever I see degenerate behavior or comments like this.

and then to take pictures 😬Like that is creepy af. I’m now just watching for Zhun and I’m praying he doesn’t give in to easily once he remembers

Well that was… something. IDK how to feel about Zhen Xin taking advantage of Zhang Zhun. Nah that was a terrible thing to do and then to ignore Zhun because he doesn’t remember being assaulted? Atleast it was nice to see Zhen Xin suffer a bit from jealousy towards the end. Only to just take advantage of Zhun again… Man if the acting wasn’t so good I would drop because of those scene. That epilogue too… what a creep. Hopefully Zheng Xin gets a long and brutal redemption arc because his character lost me this episode. Zhun continues to be a great character and way too good for Zheng Xin. I hope they just don’t blow over the questionable things Zheng Xin has done.

I’ve seen some behind the scenes clips and it’s interesting how they are opposite in real life. Ollie looked so nervous when they first met.

Felt nostalgic so I started rewatching the first BLs I’ve seen in years. Forgot how good they were especially how cute of a story this one was. Back when character development and non toxic relationships took priority over NC crap.

Oh yeah I know what you mean. Fortunately the main leads acting is pretty good and not only during the intimate scenes. They play really well into their character archetypes. I just hope the story has the same quality.

I don’t know what is worse, amazing acting but terrible story or terrible acting with an amazing story.

Not a fan of “intimate” porno heavy series but man the acting is amazing!The internal conflict and confusion in Zhang Zhun while the passion and growing fondness from Zhen Xin pops off the screen from these two. Could do without the whole girlfriends/cheating plot but it gives more weight to Zhang Zhun’s internal conflict although I have a feeling Zhen Xin is not at all attached to his girlfriend. Can’t wait for more but I do hope it doesn’t fall into the trap of toxic Chinese bl novels that romanticize abuse or SA. Anyone who read the novel care to give me a heads up?

hopefully that’s all!

oh dang lol didn’t see the “named”

Yo is that Yu?

Amazing first episode! I can already tell this is gonna be a journey. Acting is on point and the dialogue is so good and feels natural. That’s a thing I’ve noticed many BLs recently fall short on. Cinematography is excellent and I like the humor feels natural too. These next 11 weeks are gonna be grueling waiting for the next episode.

Anyone else think that one girl figured Saeki out?

Oh! it’s also nice to see Oku Tomoya in a lead role again. I’ve been meaning to watch With You I Bloom and he was amazing in Minato’s Laundromat.

Heard it’s really good and a BL if you squint. I’ve been meaning to watch it since it stars one of my favorites Maeda Kentaro.

He was in Minato Laundromat as the second couple. also that time period drama with another bl actor, With you I Bloom?

If I recall correctly there’s a scene after Ba confesses that clarifies Ji Hun perspective. I’m talking about the scene at the basketball court with their other friends. Ba denies the true meaning of his confession so Ji Hun decides not to push and remains his friend. It’s a very subtle scene and clarifies a lot between them. Do Ba U really was his own worst enemy!

Second this. At this point I’m only watching for the main couple and see how the illness plays out. Amazing chemistry between them. Also you can 2x or skip scenes that don’t have them. You won’t miss anything that concerns the main couple and the filler storylines aren’t compelling nor paced well.

I’m just trying to be optimistic 😭We do have three episodes left, 9 out of 12. If they don’t add anything else or waste even more time I hope it’ll at least have a decent ending… I do think it’s most likely going to be rushed considering everything so far.

Well… that was an episode. Happy for the Zhang Wang and Xu Yuan scenes but that’s about it. Doc and student are still weird, local gang is weird and felt more like wasted time since they had no lasting impact on the characters, and GL is there I guess? Hopefully we can get back to the main draw of the series with these last few episodes. Please no more unnecessary and pointless filler!

Bro I just started skipping the scenes with the doc and the student. TBH the series would’ve been better without them

Yeah it seems to be losing the plot as it’s going on. Pacing is all over the place in the second half of the series which is disappointing because it started off pretty strong and intriguing because of Zhan Wang and Xu Yuan. I knew there was going to be some issues with the plot when the student’s attitude towards the doc did a 180 with no explanation or reasonable development. Honestly could do without those two. Also, Zhan Wang’s symptoms just suddenly disappearing only to reappear as a reminder that oh yeah he’s terminally ill! I wished it focused more on the main couple instead of introducing so many new elements that it’s turning into a mess of disconnected threads. Hopefully these last episodes brings the story back to the main draw of the series, Xu Yuan and Zhan Wang’s relationships, the jinx and the illness.

Could’ve been a 10/10 but lots of questionable decisions bogs it down.

I’m still hesitant on watching this because of the studio and subject matter. Not much of a fan of the whole Thai “actor couple” thing nor their other series and seeing people quoting a line that I find hilariously ignorant is off putting.
