Yeah, that's probably what it is for me too. Though I think emotional maturity-wise the gap makes the age gap seem much larger. As much as he argues that he's not, Sun Bo is really immature, and it's particularly obvious with someone like Zhi Gang who's obviously so much more experienced in life and love. For example even though they're the same age Xi Gu comes off as much more mature than the other boys just purely based off having had a harder life (i.e. having experienced more). I think why it works with Xi Gu and Hao Ting is because they even each other out, it's like they both have what the other are missing in a sense. That's my take anyway haha

It's hard to rate this one because I actually surprisingly liked elements of it, but the quality and the writing aren't all that great. It's short so worth a watch.

Still love it! I'm so in love with Yu Xi Gu and Hao Ting, I think once their relationship becomes defined they're going to make for an adorable couple. I was thoroughly entertained during their scenes, and I already love that Hao Ting is slowly pulling out smiles from Xi Gu. Baby boy definitely deserves some happiness as his life is really harsh right now. I'm still excited to see what comes next, though I don't really like the secondary couple I think I've decided. They're just not my cup of tea.

I could see her being vengeful just because I don't think she likes to lose. And worse for her I think would be to lose face with her friends that not only did she lost her boyfriend, he's now with the guy she tried to get but rejected her. I think she'd be petty, because of her entitlement but we'll see lol

My thoughts exactly, and also one of my favorite things about HIStory

Same! I think the explanation Hao Ting gives to Sun Bo about how he's feeling and how it started is everything. If we hadn't had that dialogue I think there would have been an important piece missing in the storyline.

Have ya'll seen the chemistry between these two?! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdKzO2HzKis Jesus. I'm not kidding that I spent the entire new episode with a huge smile on my face. Obviously, as usual with History I love that they portray love between two men as completely natural. It's first and foremost a love story, with an additional storyline surrounding it, like any other romantic comedy, or romantic drama which is how it should be! Everything Hao Ting is experiencing is the epitome of that first rush of young love, where everything just feels like it needs to be immediate and is intense. You feel like you're going to die from a smile haha it's young, frenetic and cute for sure. I also so love the sort of role reversal, with this cool, good looking "dude" (lol) being goofy in love with this shy, serious introvert. It makes for an interesting and adorable contrast. Can I also say that Xi Gu's character is killing me?! You just want to scoop him up and make everything ok for him, which is I'm sure what Hao Ting is going to be experiencing from here on out. I can't wait to see how the story and their relationship progresses. My only concern is Sun's storyline, I think he's too obsessive and immature so I'm not sure how that's going to play out in the long run. I can't wait for the next episode!

I would recommend it, yes.

You'll find this if you look beneath the description above, and you can click on each one so you get a better idea of what you might have missed :) The only one IMO that's probably important to watch before this series is Kiss Me Again, because it's Kao and Pete's story. It's basically how they got together.

I know!!! I'm sorry!!! I just started getting a bad feeling, but I'm probably wrong...hopefully I'm wrong lol

I'm already beyond annoyed with Non, other than that I've just had heart eyes the whole time. I can't wait for Mork/Sun to develop.

I'm really hoping what I'm sensing isn't going to happen. Please tell me that Yu Xi Gu doesn't get really sick and dies at the end. The 'Make Our Days Count' title seems ominous now that we know he's struggling with some kind of health issue. As sad as it sounds I'm hoping it's just him not taking care of himself, because that's fixable.

I've been waiting for this to air for forever, and so far it was so worth the wait! I'm really enjoying all the characters. I always love how HIStory mixes good plot with actual good humor. Also love the actors so far, so hopefully this continues to develop into what I hope it can be. Though I have one concern that I'll put in a spoiler below...

I'm all for plotless cute moments, I can enjoy a bit of fluff every now and then, which the beginning of this definitely was. Fuse and Tee were very much established relationship cute, even with some of the awkward acting. However, towards the end this turns in to a giant ball of frustration. I was also confused at the same things other people were confused by, which I'm not sure has been answered lol so I'd say take it or leave it. Not a bad watch, so if you're bored on a weekend it's a good binge, especially if you watched the original series and want a dose of nostalgia haha though I'll admit it's been so long I recognized no one outside of the main characters/couples lmao

I don't know when someone tells you to stop that's pretty straight forward to me. I know people like to push the fantasy of "no, really means yes" but that's very dangerous. If someone is telling you "no" or "stop" you don't keep pushing your advances forward. It's perpetuating a societal problem. There's a lot I find really troublesome about the writing, but I think it stems from the author not fully understanding the trauma she/he's writing about, and instead using it as a plot device which happens frequently with fiction writers who don't do their due diligence so it's not all that surprising. I wish more care had been taken but I've learned what we can expect from scenarios like this in BL. I just hope the more people are educated about these subjects, the less we see them pop up.

Beyond my expectation for sure, I stayed pleasantly surprised the whole series.

Just because it's a "thing" in manga (not the soundest argument considering some of the content that crops up), or someone enjoys something doesn't give it the excuse to be perpetuated. There are people out there who fantasize about really sick things that doesn't make them permissible. So personally I'll always have this criticism when it's warranted because I believe in speaking up when I feel something isn't right. You might be numb, or desensitized to it, but I'll never be "too old" to care about things that matter to me. Perpetuating false stereotypes of gay men that are indeed hurtful and derogatory, and showing nonconsensual relations as segues to loving, healthy relationships is not something I'm down for. Sorry. If no one says anything, certainly nothing will change and I'm hoping for change. This is my personal opinion so people are welcome to disagree, but it's not going to stop me from voicing it.

Ngl the ending episode kind of made my skin crawl, I really wish the authors and these series wouldn't portray this as something "sexy". For people to understand why it's so cringe-inducing to some people, forget for a minute it's Tharn doing those things and replace him with an old man/woman. Does it still excite you? People excuse behavior like that because it's two really good looking actors, they forget that in essence Type is unconscious being molested without knowing it. Imagine if it was some random dude doing that to you, someone you didn't even like? Picture yourself in that situation, unconscious and not knowing who's doing what to my body and it's disturbing. It's definitely a violation, how could you wake up the next morning and not feel that way? It's certainly shouldn't be the basis to a love story that's for sure *sigh* shouldn't the author show Tharn as being different from the person who molested Type? It's perpetuating the disgusting narrative that gay men are molesters! I don't know if the series will recover for me from this point.

Seems like a solid plan lol I think Until We Meet Again is going to meet my quota of extreme emotion for this season. I don't think I can handle another emo drama on top of it haha so I'll put this off and consider binge watching after it's over.

ah ok, I see haha I hadn't really been paying attention to fan theories so that makes sense.
