With sharing my personal experience I was just trying to depict how it works. I'm not trying to shift the responsibility for my health on filmmakers. Just saying that there is quite a large amount of people in the world who struggle with nicotine addiction. Therefore in the majority of developed countries in the world these kind of censoring laws exist. And they really are helpful to some people and doesn't seem to bring much harm to the others. That's pretty much all my point.

Well, this series made me go and buy a pack of cigarettes twice, and I'm a non-smoker.😄 For my husband who has been smoking for years and is trying to quit it's even more sensitive subject. Every time he sees someone smoking on screen makes him want to smoke too and it really makes him struggle. So censoring of smoking isn't necessarily a bad thing, so don’t just say whatever you feel like...
I am so not enjoying these episodes - but are they actually having s3x - all the times we see them together on…
Well... in the novel they are doing it, and it is quite disturbing, because it's hard to consider this as consensual act. However, in dialogs with other people Shulang always refers to their intimate moments with FX as enjoyable, even at this period of time. But we never get the insight of his inner thoughts. I guess he was just too numb at this moment to really feel anything... But yeah, this aspect seems to be disturbing for lots of people.
And that too after the delivering the best episode of the season which is EP 12. May be people just don’t like…
Well, reading this part in the novel was really painful for me. I almost wanted to smack my smartphone on the wall. 😆 So I kinda understand viewers who feel disappointed at the moment, so let's just wait for final scores when all episodes are out 😊
I wanna know how anything Fan xiao has done/is doing, redeemable or forgivable? It is possible to analyse and…
Not for people with healthy psyche... However our boy Shulang is already traumatized and in love with that crazy psycho, so for him just knowing that FX does his best to restrain himself is enough to accept him back. That is the way that I can see it.
Is there symbolism in the near constant smoking? black and white cigarettes? I figure there must be because it's…
The only symbolism that I can see is that in Asian countries everybody smoke like steam trains. And apparently no law prohibits to show smoking on screen for streaming platforms registered who knows where... so there you have it.
There is no rape in story- Shulang sleeps with FX willingly even he tells him you are my human dildo- There is…
No honey, Shulang allows Fan Xiao to have sex with him only because he is forced to, not because he wants to do it. It cannot be considered as consent if you are forced. And words about human dildo were totally meant to hurt Fan Xiao, they don't describe how Shulang truly feels about the situation.
As I once wrote, people hear but don't listen, look but don't see. I have to speak in favor of FX since I see…
Yeah, well it was still a manipulation non the less... and this is exactly why people are pissed. There is this huge anticipation from the audience for FS to start acting like a normal human being, but he never does. 🤷 So some viewers simply cannot hold their anger and frustration in anymore. 😁😁 But just as we like YSL for staying true to himself and his ideals, no matter how bad his situation is. FS also stays FS, because old habits die hard.
Common guys... We are all sad and angry with things that are going now but things are gonna be alright so just…
As much as I'm sad seeing the ratings drop, I also kind off understand. When I was reading this part in the novel I was so close to just dropping it at this point! I felt so very devastated and couldn't take it anymore. And now the viewers are going through the same phase...
Please someone reading novels give me spoilers of what is going to happen next, I cannot suffer more. Please tell…
Judging by the pacing and amount of episodes left... I'd say we'll have to wait till the very last episode. By the way, the scene of their reconciliation is in the opening - the one where Shu Lang takes Fan Xiao's hand.
Same! It is poorly done, but I had so much fun watching it and discussing it with people in the comments.. so I'm really puzzled whether I should rate it with 1 or 10? 😄😄😄
