I feel like the last guest at a party or wedding reception. The lights are dimmed, the chairs are on top of the tables, there is no one left - and yet, here I am. “What do you mean, it’s over? I have to leave now?”

I’m endlessly cycling through refreshing the comments here, going to YouTube to check for new FMVs or any other content at all, then on to Tumblr, then back here. As if anything will change. Sigh. I need a new obsession but nothing else being released right now has pulled me in. Maybe I’ll just rewatch RL from the beginning. How are the rest of you coping?

Aww, I love it! Thank you!

Chen Yin and Ai Di stole that show! And yes, you make good points about side couples. I try to simply appreciate what we’re given, especially because complaining about it does nothing.

I stopped watching in the middle because I got bored, but of course, YMMV.

I’ll keep watching, because nothing has been bad enough for me to disengage but Hua Yong is just… Wow. “I’ll destroy your credibility in an important business meeting and then pretend to be your soft omega refuge when I see you at home later.” Ouch. I wanted to yell at Sheng, “The guy you’re holding now is the one who caused this mess in the first place!”

Keep watching; it gets better.

I’m sad it’s over, but simultaneously so happy that we got ALL of the episodes and got to see the happily ever after ending! There was that time when the powers that be paused the episode releases for editing and we all lost our minds, remember? But we won! And we can watch our boys fall in love over and over again. No sad ending, no open ended nonsense, just pure joy and love knowing they’ve made a home with each other forever. This show has wrecked me, but in the best possible way. Also, I loved the clips in the ending credits of the last episode. This journey was the best and I’m so grateful!

And some people think cilantro tastes like soap. 🤷‍♀️

I love this show and these characters so much, but there are flaws. I think these flaws stand out more when binge watching, because the repetitive music and outfits, and even a couple of identical scenes, are much more noticeable. I’ve been watching ever since episode 4, which is a very different experience, but this series is still 100% worth watching if only for the amazing chemistry between the main couple. I’m going to miss them and I’m going to miss watching new episodes every Monday and Tuesday at 5:00 a.m. before I go to work. (I really hope if I drive to work tomorrow with red eyes that the cause will be tears of happiness!)

I liked seeing CC’s dad being a loving grandpa, because it shows his human side. He may be struggling to accept CC and WSW’s relationship but he isn’t 100% evil. However, he is definitely the extreme version of a parent who thinks they know what’s best for their child! He was genuinely offended by what CC’s sister said, which is very ironic because respect should flow both ways between a parent and their adult child.

Yes, and this is also why the original “Love in the Air” was such a game changer. Payu and Rain were still an intimate, touchy feely couple even after they got together, which is why LITA remains on my rewatch list even though the plot was rather problematic.

Sunday rant: I may be in the minority but I don’t feel anything physical is lacking in these later episodes. CC and WSW are still in love, practically attached at the hip all the time, and they’re affectionate with each other. Do we really need passionate kisses to prove their love at this point? It’s in their eyes every time they look at each other and they hug and touch all the time. Intimacy isn’t the same as passion (although we also got passion when CC dragged WSW off to their tent!). I can’t even begin to list the number of BLs I’ve seen in which they turn into disengaged “don’t touch me at all” morons after their first night together! The RL team are all doing such a great job!

WSW: “How many times a night…?” 🤣 OMG, I love these guys! And I’m very amused that CC’s father doesn’t quite know what to do with WSW.

I don’t know, but we got ep 19 and 20 today, then they’re releasing one episode each day until the last episode on Tuesday.

I love this show and these characters so much. More ugly crying today, but then the last part of ep. 20 had me laughing. I’m finding this episode dump to be both a joy and a curse, I’m not ready to say goodbye! The chemistry we’ve enjoyed between the main leads is so rare. I hope both actors continue to build upon their success!

My reaction: How would he know? 🤨

Wait, just because a person has mental issues, they can’t have toxic relationships? WS is still toxic; it doesn’t matter what the reason is. And CC clung to WS for so many years because he didn’t even know why WS left so abruptly. He stayed stuck until WSW came along and unknowingly pulled him out of the quicksand.

After ep. 18, which was devastating (I did indeed drive to work with red eyes yesterday!), things can only get better from now on, right? I know we have WSW’s mom sadness to get through, but I really hope the miscommunication between CC and WSW will be resolved next week and they can be happy again. I was seriously ugly crying yesterday, so I need some hope here!

These last few episodes have been tough and whenever Wei Wei cries, so do I. 😢 The last scene of ep. 17, hough… ❤️ In the middle of all this miscommunication and heartbreak there is this peaceful bubble of Chi Cheng and his Wei Wei, so in love with each other it’s visible from space.

Yes, I did like it! Their relationship problems were all caused by external things and once those were all resolved they were perfect. I loved their domestic scenes at the end the best. 🙂

As much I loved them, though, I didn’t care about them half as much as I care about CC and WSW, so skipping this episode for now turned out to be an easier decision than I had originally thought!
