Thanks. I love SpongeBob, if that helps š.š¤£ Iām very fascinated with how people think. And this community has some very fascinating individuals. They make me want to scroll through the comments. And youāre one of those. āļø
If there is one thing realistic in this drama, itās the slow burn. These are highly intelligent and apparently…
They do. But maybe not 17-year old, intelligent boys in a largely homophobic 2012 Taiwan. They really donāt fit the stereotype of curious, reckless and impulsive boys their age. They are careful, introspective and view relationships as something serious. So, I donāt think there will be sex anytime soon.

Very enlightening. I like the idea of fluidity of identity. That our identities may shift based on our experiences and contexts. That rigid definitions of self and reality are limiting. I would loosely interpret this as enlightenment comes when we truly reflect on something that impacts on an emotional, visceral, spiritual or intellectual level. This impact has fundamentally changed us, whether we are aware of it or not. Itās best we are aware. It makes us understand that life, with all its ambiguity, is transient and that we can make a difference with every choice we make.
I use the word realistic, but never in the context of excellence. Itās just is, the way I see the world in my āhungoverā state. Then sobriety happens and I have to get back to āadultingā.
There should be a 10-year ban on people here using the word "realistic". It merely betrays the fact that people…

so u wanna tell me that 2 teens in love who live in the dorms together haven't even kissed yet? where is the progress…
If there is one thing realistic in this drama, itās the slow burn. These are highly intelligent and apparently traumatised 17-year old boys in 2012 Taiwan, navigating through their rather ambiguous relationship, re-discovering and re-defining themselves one sweet or bittersweet moment at a time. It may sound dramatic but when they finally kiss, it will mean commitmentāfor life. There will be no half-assed spur-of-the-moment or lust-of-moment first kiss.
But Wang character is same like FL in hidden love when she was in school.she did it more than Wang as school student…
I do love Wang Yibo as a personāhardworking, sincere, talented in dancing, genuinely a decent guy. As an actor, not so much. His War of Faith was a big improvement. I watched Untamed because I am a sucker for good looking people. Dropped it after 3 episodes. LWJ was robotic, ethereal, yes, but totally not existing in that supposed fantastical world. NOTHING like Jian Tian. Indeed, heās a one-in-a-million kind of guy. And I love seeing Benjamin Tsang bring him to life.
Very valid argument. I do have to disagree about the believability. Maybe itās a generational or cultural gap,…
Wow, banning Will and Grace? Their minds must be a scary place. 17 is great age to explore. The raging hormones, the overwhelming feelings, the need to conform to social norms (because youāre a man now)ā¦ā¦ all these warring inside the heart of a man/boy who has an emotional range of a teaspoon. Fascinating. To have survived that, I salute you. Ep9 tanked. Ep10, survived, barely. Benjamin Tsang keeps me going. Iāll stick around š

No. We were poor as a mouse. I survived through scholarship and sheer dumb luck. Our home is shared with grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousins. So you understand why anywhere else was better. They (my relatives) are really good people, just too nosy and hovering too much. My experience was ways more colourful, mortifying, dramatic and comedic than Jiang Tianās. I was too curious and too bold for my own good. Never had a Shen Wang in my life at that time. Had I met someone like him, my life would have taken a different direction. I never much cared about other peopleās opinions (was too self-absorbed for that), so my classmates and teachers tend to leave me be. Looking back, I really had a privileged life compared with Jiang Tianās and Shen Wangās. I didnāt have their trauma. Sorry for rambling. Yeah, the storyline sucks. It could have been better. Still, I am looking forward to next week. āŗļø
1. The Notebook
2. Pride and Prejudice (2005)
3. 500 Days of Summer
4. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
5. Before Sunrise
6. AmƩlie
7. The Fault in Our Stars
These films showcase emotional depth and connections rather than physical affection.
They are all really great films, very satisfying to watch. They feed my soul rather than my fantasy.
