Can you elaborate on the 1st point? I've been following the comments here in the recent days, but haven't seen…
Director IG: @pat3liu
Have a look at the first pinned stories that has the Chinese name of this drama on his IG.
One of the story will let you know that "Season 2 will happen" mentioned by the Director himself. It's in English so no worries if you can't read the rest of the stories, just remember to look through all the stories compiled in this pin.
I know some people don't have the habit to read on past comments here so here are a few important points:
1. Season 2 is confirmed coming. This drama was made with Season 2 on the works depending on the drama's reception. And it's finally happening thanks to all the people who like it 🥰 so don't be so sad or angry yeah?
2. This drama is based on a Novel, whether you want to understand or not, this is a fact that can't be changed. You should have known before watching if the level of romance and/or intimacy are not enough for you. Reading the Novel should have known this love story is relatively slow paced. It's not meant for everybody. 🤔
3. If you like this drama, do give a good rating. If you don't like, that's fine too. But remember, everyone's taste is different. There is no need to comment as if only your opinion and rating is the one that is correct if you find this overrated or too high in rating to your liking. 👍🏻 It's likely on average that there are more people who like this drama and are awaiting for Season 2.
Something feels off. Some people say according to skam, Do Ha should be the boyfriend Mi Na's referring to, but when Do Ha was treating the girls drinks, I remember Mi Na didn't have a very big reaction about it. Wouldn't it feels weird to do so in Mi Na's POV for Do Ha to treat drinks for Ji Yu compared to if Do Ha were to treat Mi Na's friends drinks because he is her boyfriend?
While it's BL, there's never something that suits/fits everyone taste.
Some people say they don't understand why the rating for this drama to be that high, it's OK. Just remember, there are probably alot more whom enjoyed this because they are OK with it based on a novel. If it's not OK for you, that's fine. Respect everyone's opinion and their respective rating, no one's absolute.
I just finish watching "Stay With Me" and I would say the OG adaptation "Addicted" is still the best. Don't get me wrong, do continue to read on.
That drama also have one of the greatest impact in BL history as this is one of the pioneer works of China BL that hit internationally. Not the first BL that was made I believed, but definitely one of the first that opened up horizons.
Yes, that Addicted adaptation wasn't fully released due to Homophobia China but I know it would have been a great pull off due to how daring Johnny was able to act in this. Timmy wasn't bad also, but Johnny's role as Gu Hai was very physical. I thought this drama was at least a decade year old due as far as I thought it's been quite long since the unfortunate incident happened where both of them weren't able to appear on screen together anymore and the remaining of this drama release being halted permanently.
Thanks to Stay with Me, I'm reminded of that OG. Both adaptations have obvious Similarity and Differences. They are both great, but that drama probably got a lower rating due to being unfinished. It's a pity, but I'm surprised that Johnny don't differ so much after all these years as I watched his latest drama "The First Shot". He is such a great actor since such a young age and it took me quite a while to actually realised that since I am not someone who follow all of the work of a particular actor.
I am glad that there are still parts of China willing to try and push their boundary despite knowing such a ban incident that was one of the greatest known in BL history. I would say Stay with Me is also lacking in some scenes progression as there are awkward cuts but at least the story is much more complete. While both ML in SwM doesn't have that kind of epic physical moment compared to this OG, but I was surprised to still manage to see kiss on the cheek between both ML. Political side of China probably would have gone crazy finding out about it since SwM wasn't released locally I heard. While it's not much, but it is a very impactful moment of attempt as this can still be sensitive among the Homophobia. I am glad the world gets to be more open minded through time. While there are still alot of Homophobias, but there are also alot of Allies. There are many children involved in SwM and I believed they would be part of the better world for BL acceptance since they (or their real life parents) are willing to be part of this drama genre.
I hope all the Homophobias die early and may the world be a better place. I also hope Political China will gradually cease and be like Taiwan in direction eventually.
Some actors start to gain more fame through such genre of work so I hope they keep it up. It shows that there are so many of us, be it actual gays/lesbians/allies/tsundere whom are in support of such genre. For actors to gain more fame through such genre as compared to when they film "normal" boy-girl relationship drama, there must have been some sort of "magic".
I believed in magical miracle. Things will get better with time. While OG "Addicted" drama may have died, but I know that there are still many similar things based on such BL experience that still stays alive in our hearts. Stay with Me is a very good recent modern example. As parts of China doesn't give up, I will be rooting for them to help open up Political China horizon once again, no matter how much time they need to take, as long as they don't give up, I will give support. We will be the new normal.
Why? Because both ML Actors of SwM still get to appear together in China recently unlike what happened to Johnny and Timmy back then. There is still hope and I am willing to wait as long as that side of China continue to produce more and don't give up

I rmb Huole's Dad was already in police custody for a crime at the beginning of the episode but Huole believed that his Dad was maligned and wanted to prove his dad's innocence to end up actually the Dad was guilty afterall?
First of all, the Novel is not short. If you didn't read the Novel, following the Interviews of the actors and Director will know that THERE IS NO "HAPPY" ending in this season because the story of them hasn't END yet.
I am actually glad the ending is better than what I was expecting. In the Novel, there is a scene where Jiang Tian and Sheng Wang will be split up by their Mum and Dad respectively when they got to know about their relationship. This is not yet shown yet in this Season, so Season 2 will definitely be able to conclude the rest of the story regarding of split up and reunification.
The director says Season 2 will be on the work if reception for Season 1 is great. I believed I heard someone saying that the scripts are ready, just require preparation for filming. As filming will require some form of fundings as well, the reception of this show will greatly help to make things happen. So kindly share to many people to watch this and give a good rating as well.
Let's help to work on this and await for good news as well as the Happy Ending we want in Season 2.
There are some Asians with genes that look young despite their age. Of course, together with taking care of their skin, health, diet etc.
Chuando is a popular Asian man in his 50s whom look 30s, so I am not surprised there will be such actress able to disguise well beyond their age as Asians 😁
Good acting + good genes able to convince the audience well
Some of the nice scenes that happened in Episode 11 below
1. Gao Tian Yang and Shi Yu saw Jiang Tian and Sheng Wang sleeping on the same bed. 🥰
2. That night of the same day, Gao Tian Yang slept together with Shi Yu. LOL Wow, 2 hot dudes on the same bed scene is nice to see, especially when Gao Tian Yang also snuggle with Shi Yu despite both being straight in this drama. ♥️
3. Lin Bei Ting/Benny aka Lin Zi kissed Zhao (Xiao) Xi. 💋
4. That kiss intrigued Sheng Wang's feeling towards Jiang Tian, believing he may have feel the same way on how Benny felt towards Zhao Xi. There is something different about that night. 🤭
5. Jiang Tian knows Sheng Wang was about to kiss him but didn't. He look confused but knows that it wasn't because he didn't like/want it. The lighting in these scenes were great. They made these 2 "boys" look fantastic as compared to usual.
6. Jiang Tian's moment back to his Dad's experience was hot. I know it's not right in terms of what this scene is trying to portray but story aside, this scene was really hot. Besides the bare buttocks scene a few episodes before, this one is 18+. The male actors really don't mind giving their best in terms of their body and mind towards their acting for this script.
Story wise, I am glad Jiang Tian's cigarette scar wasn't caused by some sort of abuse (I didn't read the novel). It was accidental. So while his Dad kinda cheated, but his Dad does love Jiang Tian from the start to the end. Those eyes of expression with regret as well as concern over Jiang Tian can't be a lie.
While this is BL, but I love most of the Male actors here for their characters even for the side characters, except for annoying Qi Jia Hao

Yeah, Jiang Tian's dad scene was hot, but don't forget what this drama based on the Novel is about.
