The message I got was that gay JPs should get married secretly and alone in an empty restaurant, they shouldn't…
The thing is, international BL fans exist. Just like Thai and Chinese BLs, they’ve got a huge following abroad and some fans live in places where same sex marriage isn’t even legal, where being gay, lesbian, bi…or trans is still treated like a “sin.” Sadly, that’s the reality in some parts of the world, and I think the show was trying to reflect that. For me, the plot was really about acceptance from families, co workers, and most importantly, the mls themselves. I saw the “wedding” scene as something really intimate, a place where they first felt accepted as a couple. It wasn’t about long-term plans but about living in the moment, because life is unpredictable (Covid, quarantine, even falling out of love…). And honestly, change doesn’t happen overnight. it takes time, step by step. Just look at how different things are between the 70s/80s and now, but still dealing with stigma. I believe it was realistic and cute, but more about sending a message than being all idealistic.
Let me share to you all the exact conversation that happened b/w CC and WSW in the bathtub scene when WSW escaped…
I think you’re overthinking the drama. Being top, bottom, or versatile is about preference, not identity. CC is a top because that’s what he likes and feels comfortable with. Pressure him to be a bottom = not enjoying his sexuality. At the end of the day, a relationship is about respect and acceptance.
Ep. 5 Felt different. Tuo still possessive and kind of obsessive, BUT Xi likes it. I wonders if Tuo didn't try date/distract the girls... Could he still make it with XI?
Why did CC saying mean things to WSW when he saw him cry, im just confused on what he was tryna do?
I figured that since CC didn’t see WSW cry during the funeral got worried (WSW was shocked and almost disassociating) if Cc made him angry, WSW could fight back, cry, scream…just feel something. The funeral wasn’t the worst part, it was arriving home alone and find it empty and Cc knew it.
here’s my perspective.. few days of ignoring made him realize how he feels.. so it’s understandable and also…
I only saw an unilateral love before the bathroom scene. Tuo was his safe place, or “his person” and there was an emotional dependency between them. If it was his “awakening” then the writers failed miserably to tell their story during first 4 ep. Atm they act like a couple, but one thing is giving someone space and time to think about his emotions and another is ghosting and gaslighting. Someone dealing dependency, ghosting could be unbearable.
This drama has a lot of investment from Huace (Tian Xuning's agency and the production firm of Chai Jidan's Addicted…
it makes sense. They got a huge fandom abroad from one day to another, I never saw something like that. The script is well done and doesn’t look like a cheap production (like most Thai BLs) I’m not sure if switching to a more general audience would offer the same fame o recognition. I think people will associate them with their characters for a long time( same as the Harry Potter actors)
