I don't feel attacked. I based my interpretation on the series ONLY and I am aware that the book is very different. I haven't read it, so it didn't affect my understanding of the show.
Sad to hear that there were some problems with the translation. I wonder if I would've enjoyed the show equally if the translation had been closer to the show creator's intention. ;P

Yup, I've noticed! ^^ I am quite impressed that they persist after all the arguments they got. Some people are just too stubborn to be convinced.

As above. Crimes are being committed, but those crimes aren't there to build suspense. They are there to show that the ML is immoral - and give him a chance to improve (which he does).

It's not. There is also fear, suspense, anxiety. None of that in this show. Even though there are criminals, they commit actual crimes, the show on the whole is light-hearted and the emotional dilemmas are superficial. You know there's gonna be a happy end at all times.

No, you just saved your life. Otherwise you would have binged it whole and died of too much screen time. I know I would!

What??? That animal abuse!!! :(

BTW, anyone knows why Chinese shows are dubbed? This is so weird to me.

Perhaps this is a good opportunity to get over that fear? If you associate snakes with something fun (watching a soapie), then you might feel less anxious.

Good idea, I just did that. I'm not screaming from fear, I'm laughing out loud while watching. XD

So? It doesn't fit this show at all. No dread whatsoever.

Let me explain: somebody made an error. People do that all the time. ;)

I mean it IS absurd, but so entertaining that I am thankful that I started watching it while it is still ongoing. I would binge it whole otherwise. ;P

Yes! As if he were always on opiates. The world should tremble the moment he gets off them. ;P

I used to have the same problem: if I liked a book/movie I could NOT stand its screening/remake/any non-canonical version. XD I'm getting more tolerant these days, though. Moreover, it's been some time since I watched this movie, I don't remember it all that clearly, so... Dunno, if I watch another version, I will let you know what it's like. ^_^

There is a Japanese version too? I usually don't understand Japanese movies, so it would be hard for me too, I suppose...

As I said, that was just my interpretation. If a movie is good, it allows different interpretations, and this one was really good.

I guess the idea is to create a dreamy effect. But yeah, I get your point. I absolutely love it, though. ;)

I only understood it after watching for the second time, may years later.

I have met gays who "acted gay" (if I understand correctly the intention of this phrase) and those who didn't. Just like in this show - with one character even Young's friends weren't sure.

The moment he is diagnosed, he is told that the risk of transmission can be minimised. I assumed that it was a given that he minimised that risk as per doctor's instructions.
