Don't worry, we do not care what you do or say either.

So far so good. Cunningly written, poignant, superbly acted and even cinematically quite inventive despite its obvious low budget. And those waspish references and jabs ("the Motivation Village staff
were victims of a fraud", " There is this upcoming series called 2Nights." - holy shit)

A joyous entree. Throroughly enjoyable from start to finish, though the main concept is rather undermined by the fact that the protagonist is cute af and by no means he looks like a loser.

"Since when did Pei Shou Yi have a disassociative disorder? " Since the beginning. It is mentioned right after his fiirst appearance in season 1. SY clearly is in love with ZX, that was obvious even in season 1. He kept his mug and noodles with him all the time. He was just afraid of letting him in. By the the influence of ZX's monologue when he listed what objects of him he kept and they remind of him, and then when he said farewell, I guess SY just gave in. It was fast, for sure, but not so unreasonably for me. There were a lot worse holes than that.

From the latest episode I presume the Li Cheng - Mu Ren story line is about to be more absorbing and complex as it progresses alike. Maybe not quite as deep and intirguing as the Yong Jie - Xi Si narrative, but it is definitely on its way.

Or YJ possibly means he is gonna make sure that house is going to be his family home again as well as their love nest simultaneously. The"permission" might also make sense in a way. Now that they had sex, and it is is obvious for both parties that their love as well as sexual attraction to each other is mutual, XS is afraid to spend some more nights there. YJ migh have wanted to reassure XS that the next sexual encounter is likely to happen between them when everything is settled and they are both fine. XS still has guilty conscience for YJ's having feelings for him, and YJ perhaps just wanted to make sure XS does not have to worry about the temptation. Actually, it is not a double entendre, it is a multiple one.

The Viki always uploads a corrected, revised subtitle towards the middle of the week. It is worth checking up. The Engsub now is like that in that scene: "Not just for one night. There will be lots and lots of nights. I will let you come home. I said I'll let you come home. You don't need to be scared of anything".

Among others lol. The moppet is the sharpest knife in the shed, but with enough hysteria to compensate for the lack of intellect.

Episode 7 was extremely emotional and heart-wrenching. And I have to say, Nubsib's explanation for not revealing himself is pretty rational and fairly convincing to me. I still feel Gene's reaction a bit exaggerated. I suspected something darker prelude than this.

I agree several of your points and I disagree with at least as much of your points, but what I really wanted to say that if I were you I would not bother to keep trying to convince hate watchers. You and many others were fighting with tooth and nail in the past week to argue thoughtfully and meticulously, trying to bring attention to the compexities and symbolic aspects of the narrative, but none of your valid points were counter-argued. They are not listening. They just keep ranting about their strawman version of this show instead of what is going on the screen. A waste of effort.

YJ punched Mu Ren because he thought he made a move to the man he obsessively loves. He did not know about their relationship. He did not do it because he is a bad man who likes beating people up in the street, but becasue he was not in his right mind. He is a mentally unstable kid, in urgent need of professional help. He does everything what he thinks XS wants and needs, twisted as it is, and that includes the hotel room scene. Naturally, it does not make his actions right nor does it justify them.

Enjoyably ramshackle just like the first season, though with noticeably higher production values. A bit too much jealousity for its own good and sometimes protracted, but fun to watch from start to finish as much as its predecessor.

You have launched another avalanche of buzzwords "'toxic", "problematic", etc to come. Sigh.

It is not YJ's idea out of nowhere. When he had a convo with his mom, before their trip to the sea, it is mentioned that XS would prefer living at home with the whole family, he basically moved out because he was afraid of his dad finding out his secret life. YJ is doing everything for him. He is clearly a good person who happens to have serious mental problems.

There is a direct, if side, connecting thread with MODC. Liu Mei Fang' character is the sister of Hao Ting, played by the same actress.

What I was trying to say that he seems to think he knows what is best for Xing Si and he should do whatever he wants to make him happy, regardless of whether Xing Si wants to go thorugh what he planned for him or not. As if he did not consider Xing Si should have a few more say about his own life. But after what he did to him at the end of episode 8, when he hided him in the bathroom just when he was about to cry, I have started to revaluate this as well.

Do you mean killing off the brothers or just one of them? The writer is known for the tragic end of MODC, yet I doubt they wanna go through that passage again.

You could have said "I have no argument so boooo". That saves even more space.
