I don't think this scene was meant to be taken so seriously. It was like a prank. They have that kind of relationship where they compete with each other and play pranks. Nobody got hurt from spending the night in that room. The whole scenario was rather silly. That said, Gao Shi De is a sneaky coward and a masochist. I'm not fond of this character, but Sam Lin does a great job portraying him. I feel for the character, even though he annoys me a lot. It's like he wants to suffer. Some kind of tragic hero who doesn't have the balls to fight for his love head on and prefers feeling miserable all the time. Just my 2 cents! Others may say he is considerate and sweet. Sam is so charming in real life and so flirtatious with YU. I wonder if Gao Shi De, after knowing about Shu Yi's feeling, will change. I want to see him more proactive.
Here is a commercial:

I really like their interactions here. I would love to see something like this in s2.

I don't think this line is soooo terrible, but it sure is overused. There are bisexual and pansexual people that may feel like this, but they don't have much representation in media. At this point I would say Shu Yi is pansexual. Talking about the BL genre I'm more concerned about the homophobia that's going on lately. The whole BL fandom goes bonkers for a series like 2gether which made me very uncomfortable watching it. Those guys obviously didn't want to touch each other. They had some kind of cute-buddy-relationship. There are many other hyped "BL couples" where I feel the same. Mean&Plan in LBC2 is really ... the worst. This is not doing anything good for the community. BL is mostly about cute boys doing cute things and some awkward touching. I feel like they censor on purpose skin-ship and intimacy in some series. I'm so bothered by it lately that I wanted to drop the whole genre for good. It became like K-Pop. Some commercial soulless thing for the girls out there to drool over it. When it comes to Taiwan BL I must give them credit that they are just going for it. I saw many people commenting on that kiss in Ep 5. They thought those two actors would only show us a little peck, but well, they didn't hold back. Taiwan BL is always very raw, low budget, not so polished, the stories are often messy, but the end product is pretty enjoyable and feels real.

Well, it's charming, and you cannot reinvent the wheel. Everyone who works on this seems to be passionate. Even the BTS are somehow pretty artistic. They all try their best and it shows. That's something I cannot say about many other BLs lately.

I start to hate Chinese people lately. I feel like no one has a clue what's going on in this world. Democracy, freedom, tolerance - everything is vanishing and nobody seems to notice. I'm fluent in 3 languages and not one of them I speak without a heavy accent. So what? This ignorance and lack of tolerance is unbelievable. Just unbelievable. Never in my life I heard a Chinese person talk a decent English btw.

Here is a cute commercial. Must watch!

Seriously, this is low budget! In such cases it's more about the art and how everything flows. The biggest Hollywood movies had such mistakes. I prefer this rather raw approach compared to some Thai soap-opera productions where everything is slow, superficial, uninspired and lacks any creativity. They did a good job with the filming (especially with the colors), with the editing, with the music, the mood etc.

"The directing is amateurish" - are you serious? This is one of the best directing I have seen in a BL

OMG!!!! Time flies! I feel old ...

Now it's 6.7 :(

This was the best episode. I can rewatch every single minute over and over again.

Daisuki! I heard it too :)

I was very impressed by Sam's acting in this episodes. The plot moved nicely and every scene was great. This is a really good show. Everything looks nice, devoted actors, good dialogues, good cinematography, intense emotions. That's the result of a team that is passionate and talented.

For my taste they were eating their faces too much. I liked the kisses in the BTS more. I wonder why they decided to go with those scenes? I guess the sloppiness fitted the mood and the emotions better.

I was worried about their kiss scenes, because the series is just too good to be true. But damn that was smooooth ;P

Don't know if those scenes will be exactly the same in the series, but I wasn't expecting TWO kisses!

SPOILER ahead! Be aware! It's a BTS vid with scenes from Ep 5 at the very end. DON'T WATCH it if you don't want to be spoiled.

"mindblowing" .... yeah, that's some talent and devotion. In BTS Sam said, he wishes for YU to be more relaxed. Art should be enjoyed. I wonder how hard it was for him to act as Shu Yi. I'm really impressed.

He is veeeeery awkward. I was honestly shocked. It's common that "normal" guys play introverts or shy people, but I have never seen it the other way around. When he acts he is a completely different person: very expressive and such a bold attitude. But when he switches back ... Jesus! You can see it in the BTS. I'm now used to it and think he is cute. It's surprising how much chemistry he has with Sam, though. At first I thought those two are way too different to get along in real life. But nope.

They are really cute. It's easy to imagine them being boyfriends. Sam's smile after the kiss on the cheek! I admire their innocence.
