It's a strange episode for sure. Didn't feel like part of the series.

Seems like they just put some scenes together. Some left-over material lol. I think they will show more flashbacks and give us some explanations in s2. Or maybe not. Who knows?

I think this is just some kind of special. They just put together some scenes. It's very random.

A little advice: Hope for the best and expect the worst! :P I never had any hopes for the story, to be honest. But the character were very well-written and the acting is outstanding. I also like the production a lot. But yeah, now it looks like they will f*ck up the character which isn't ... good.

Running away in such a situation, makes sense and could have been in character. They have a long-distance relationship and didn't see each other for a while. They have completely separated lives and hang out with different people. Writing some mails isn't doing much. You grow apart. That can be a reason for Shu Yi being insecure and confused. But sooner or later he would have confronted Shi De. He is no coward. Showing us that process, how they both grew apart and maybe Shi De didn't write him frequently anymore, would have been possible. It would have taken only a few minutes to show us some more of their conversations/mails and what exactly happened. But they didn't.

His stepsister? She seems at his age. I said it wrong: I meant the baby is his half-brother, the son of the new step-dad and his mother. This is confusing ...

Seriously ... there was this scene in s1 when Shi De said that he isn't "inexperienced" when it comes to (unrequited) love and Shu Yi thought it's about his guy friend, assuming Shi De is gay. Now he has a woman and a child? WHAT? They are really messy when it comes to the sexuality of the characters. Regarding Shu Yi they went for the I'm-only-gay-for-you cliche. And now this?

Yeah. Maybe as a first impulse it's credible. But sooner or later he would confront him for sure. He is no coward. I was praising the show for the well-written characters. And now this?

You know, I had a lot of babies on my lap in the last years and none of them was mine ;P No idea how he could jump to such a conclusion! They should have shown us that Shi De didn't write him anymore or something. So that Shu Yi had a reason to believe, there is something wrong and that's why he came to America in the first place. Would have taken one minute.

And the draaaaaama begins ... I feel it will get worse with s2. But the actors and production team knew how risky this project is. So hopefully they are strong enough to endure the heated discussions that will follow.

Nah, nah, I still have some hope left :P

I'm still amazed how Shu Yi could find Shi De so easily and unannounced. America is pretty big after all ;P

What's with the baby, though? It's at least half Asian ... his stepbrother? His mother is still young.

The whole thing looked like a long music video where we only see some unknown characters in some causal settings with the purpose of telling some kind of story that goes along with the lyrics lol.

I honestly don't even know what to say and that's rare! But I think we are missing something. What's with the hospital bills? Who is sick?

Well, despite having a WTF-moment, I must say it was beautifully filmed. I liked the backgrounds, the colors, the music. Kudos to the production team and the actors. It seems it's always the writer who messes everything up.

Seriously ... this was so out of character ...

Siiiiiggghhhhhhhhhhh ....

And then I was praising those two for having a good and stable relationship ...

Why would Shu Yi just jump to conclusions and run away? That's why I called it "cheap".
