Thank you for sharing your perspective. I suspect that BL sex is just as problematic as straight sex in Harlequin romance novels (virgins going multiple rounds, orgasming every time, etc.). None of it has any basis in real life. In one translation of the scene at the club, CC says, “I’m going to spank him when we get home”, so maybe that’s more why WSW is so sore and has trouble sitting. Just a theory…

Watch the trailer

I think you’re talking about the trailer, and yes, there are a few clips that show the discovery and resulting anguish and distance. I’m not ready for it either!

I’m so glad we don’t have to wait a week between episodes! I don’t think my heart could take waiting so long for episode 12. Episode 11 was everything. I love that WSW is so feisty that he’s being demanding even as he’s surrendering and kissing CC like his life depends on it.

This is such wonderful news - four episodes in five days!!! I thought we might need to wait longer, so now I’m SO happy!

Aww, sorry! I had a tooth pulled yesterday; this news has improved my mood 100%!

I’m guessing it’s just for this week.

I’m wondering how long the new dubbing and translations will take. This must be for footage that already exists and they had decided not to use it until now. I’m pretty upset and unhappy that the wonderful people who put this show together are now being told to compromise their vision and make changes. I doubt these changes are anything I would want and I hope someday we’ll get the director’s cut version so we can see what we missed.

Why isn’t this the place? I’m watching both and there is a striking similarity between the two main relationships. This should be discussed, and where else if not here? Why are you the judge and jury of what can and cannot be posted?

Everyone, please ignore Belissimasandy. This person never has anything helpful to add and just seems to want to stir things up.

Alert: My spoiler post below has spoilers for ABO Desire.

I see similarities between RL and ABO Desire, especially the main relationships. With the caveat that there are only three episodes of Desire available vs ten episodes of RL, maybe the comparisons are premature. However, I like RL a LOT more and it has nothing to do with the Omegaverse in Desire. I like the comedy and pacing of RL. Desire has beautiful settings but it feels empty, devoid of real life or passion. The chemistry in RL is off the charts and it was there from their first meeting at the vendor stall. I’m not feeling it with Desire and they’ve met several times and even kissed. Playing basketball vs. baking cookies. (Okay, I’m more partial to the cookies so 1 point to Desire!) In RL, CC knows he’s being targeted but he can’t figure out why. Mr. Sheng in Desire seems to have no idea and his growing involvement seems to be too easy. I’m just waiting to see how it all plays out. I’m sad that RL is being postponed and I really hope we get to see every episode of both shows!

No. I see the similarities, but RL did it better - or maybe I just prefer the chaotic energy and comedy of RL more than this show so far.

Yay, it’s Sunday morning and I can’t wait for another ep— oh, wait. It’s over. 😢

Cue loud sobbing noises over here. I hope it’s not “postponed” indefinitely! Maybe “Desire” will take some of the heat off this show and its actors. I’m sad, because RL was definitely brightening up my summer. It was so nice to have two episodes to look forward to every week.

I guess we’re in “wait and see” mode. I’m going to watch some old favorites this weekend to try to take my mind off everything. Time will tell and we should all do our best not to stress out in the meantime (easier said than done, I know!).

I hope not. People who have been around a while have been warning about this - but I couldn’t resist diving in. I still don’t regret it even if we never get new episodes!

I’m 61 and right there with you. This show is all I think about lately!

These are all very valid points and now I see this conflict in an entirely new way. Thank you so much!

Am I the only one who found Chi Cheng kicking the chair back at the beginning of THAT scene in ep. 10 ridiculously hot? These little details are what put this series a cut above so many others.
