Only at ep5... But sometimes I get pulled out of the realism of a drama when pretty privilege isn't acknowledged. Like how is the dorky, pudgy kid part of the popular boy group, while the hottest guy in school is the outcast?? Does anyone else think this way?
I have never felt so blue balled by a BL. It had all the elements to be good, and then ended up being an incomplete…
Some of my specific gripes, beyond the obvious are: - who thought it was a good idea to make a 'naked' bet between adult educators and high school children?? Either way it ended would have been offensive and likely illegal?? And then to have these adult women teachers giggling over naked underage boys? I could not stop cringing at this plotline. - why does jiang tian hate his dad? Because the dad was actually gay/bi? For cheating on his mom? It seemed like the dad was abusive, until the reveal that the cigarette burn was an unfortunate accident. Even if the dad was negligent, it doesn't feel like enough to warrant everyone 'protecting' him from his dad. - the MLs relationship definitely would have progressed more if they didn't move into the dorms. Instead of a private home with absent/idgaf what you are doing after midnight parents, they now were living 24/7 with two other boys. Given jiang tian's loner personality too, it felt like a weird move.
If there ever is a season 2, I'll watch, but otherwise, this show was quite disappointing.
I am glad they cleared up why FL doesn't know ML in the second episode, but still left some mystery to his time in Boston. We still don't know why he seems beat up-- was it the bf after finding out ML was messaging FL, or are they self inflicted injuries? Also what was on the floor when he fell back from the window? Is engineering that depressing of a major? Lol. It's enough to keep me watching.
Using AI in it really pulled me out of the drama. I even started wondering if the script was written with AI too...…
Honestly, I didn't realize it was AI, but I certainly thought it was lazy-- if true, you would think they would have at least been able to make the character look more like FL rather than a copy-paste Anna/Elsa from frozen.
Now if the opening seq is also AI, that definitely makes sense-- it really is awful.
the synopsis and drama not adding up had me so confused 😭😭😭 but I enjoyed the first episode. Omg but…
I feel like the hair might be the actor's personal choice, but the combo with his oversized/random thrift store outfits is definitely not the best look for a ML. Idk what the stylists were thinking. 🤦🏻♀️
I wish they had replaced some of the boring side stories (Er Lan, I'm looking at you) with Zhang San returning to middle school and waiting for FL to return/watching her grow up from a far. Oh well...
She is not in a very prominent role! Showed once in a flashback, for a 2 seconds. She was a slave or a woman hired…
Lol just saw a reddit post that spoiled this-- it talked about how they were surprised the SA passed censorship. Definitely makes sense that he was not a willing participant given how he gives off first love vibes for the FL.

Huh... I am surprised they have the ML actually bed another woman (or at least, considering he transmigrated as a kid, I am assuming he did). Sounds like it may have been by force though (?). Interesting-- thank you!
My thoughts at the end: - Why didn't bro just do her? She would have been ecstatic. - I get that reality 'Ziqi' wasn't as attractive as his Wuxia persona, but damn, the director didn't even show his face in the last scene... Poor guy. (Here's hoping Miaomiao can help with a makeover) - idk if special episodes are common with cdramas, but I wish they had one for this... I needed more of them in the real world :(
