If he doesn't drug Nubsib then why does Nubsib say he feels hot like his whole body is heating up. That's what would happen if he actually were drugged so what does he lie about feeling like that just to get attention from Gene? And how do you know he doesn't actually do it? In the novel he actually does drug him, actually i think he tries to drug Gene in the novel but Nubsib ends up drinking it instead. And plus it doesn't make any sense for Aey to lie to Gene and say that he drugged Nubsib to make Gene worried about Nubsib when Aey wants Gene and Nubsib to not be together, why would he do something that would clearly bring them together? Because if Gene thinks Nubsib was drugged he is going to stay with him and take care of him so what is the purpose of Aey doing that?

I think he actually puts something in the drink because after Sib drinks it he says his whole body is heating up which is a reaction he would have from drugs. Unless he lies about that just to get attention from Gene. Plus the person who said he doesn't actually get drugged said that Aey lies to Gene that Nubsib was drugged so Gene would worry about Nubsib. Does that make any sense? Aey doesn't want Gene and Nubsib together but if Gene thinks that Nubsib was drugged then he will take care of Nubsib. Guess we just have to wait and see.

Yes i don't understand that about Nubsib. He knows something about Aey that has to do with Gene so why didn't he tell him that is so frustrating. Maybe he thinks he is protecting Gene but it's just going to put him in danger. Although Nubsib told Gene he would come talk to him after the banquet so maybe he was planning on telling Gene but Gene gets the message from Aey first.

Exactly

Yes but Gene would have welcomed him as a friend or brother if he had known who Sib was or at least that's what Sib was afraid of but he didn't want Gene to look at him that way he explained that. I don't understand how people can call Sib a psycho and bash him because of that but defend Aey for the way he spoke to and treated Gene. Called Gene a bad person and not an honest person when Aey himself is going to do something bad last week so how does he have the right to call someone else bad. I really wonder if people will still be defending Aey and making excuses for him after next week, because what he is going to do is both illegal and endangers someone's life but yet Sib is somehow the psycho.

Well i don't see how Sib is a psycho yes he lied and manipulated Gene, he is also clingy and possessive which is weird, and also rude to pretty much everyone but Gene. But that doesn't make him a psycho if you go by the actual definition for what a psychopath is technically Sib or Aey neither one are psycho's unless Aey's character does turn out to be like in the novel then he will be a psycho. And from the preview for next weeks episode Aey is going to do exactly what i thought he was going to do from the novel which will actually make him be a psycho. The actual definition of what a psycho is an aggressive person with violent behavior. Yes Nubsib's actions have been weird and a little crazy but when has he ever done anything violent? Or done anything to cause actual harm to anyone? never that i have seen so technically not a psycho. And i don't understand how people keep bashing Gene saying he overreacted when Nubsib lied to him but can defend Aey acting crazy because Gene supposedly lied to him that doesn't make a bit of sense.

I agree he is a good actor i just can't stand the character but i am judging based off of the book and don't know yet if they are going to keep his character the same as in the book. But your assumption is right about him not liking Sib.

That's true but that doesn't mean in the coming weeks we don't start seeing the bad side of Aey unless they completely change his character from the book. But in my opinion he is a psycho. Telling Gene he is bad because he also likes Nubsib. What planet is Aey from there is nothing in the world that says 2 people can't like the same person it isn't a crime and doesn't make a person bad either. He thinks Gene is just supposed to back off and let him have Nubsib, how is that not being a psycho? Nubsib doesn't like Aey at all does he think trying to drive away the person Nubsib does like is going to make Nubsib like him? Maybe if he didn't behave in ways like that people wouldn't mistreat him, and from what i've seen Gene has never mistreated Aey but yet Aey pulls that crap with Gene, he's just not right. But i understand that everyone has their own preferences and things they like and don't like and that's fine, not everyone is going to agree or like the same characters. And i admit Nubsib isn't perfect either by no means (but no one in the world is perfect). It will be interesting in the next few weeks to see what they do with Aey's character, if they will keep him the same as in the novel and if so will people still defend him and bash Nubsib when Aey turns out to be much worse. I know i should just judge his character based on the show and not just from the novel (it's hard though) but i will wait and see what they do with Aey's character maybe he won't be as bad as in the book, just have to wait and see.

Ok he doesn't really like Nubsib he actually likes Gene. He developed a crush on Gene because he likes Gene as an author. He lies and tells Gene he likes Nubsib to try and keep Gene from dating Sib because he thinks that way he can have Gene. He does things to try to come in between Gene and Sib. I don't know everything he does exactly because i haven't read the book myself i've just heard from people who have and seen online. But he tries to Drug Gene ( obviously up to no good if he's drugging someone) but anyways he puts drugs in Gene's drink or what he thinks is Gene's drink but Sib ends up drinking instead. And from what i understand in the book he does lots of horrible stuff. Drugging someone is illegal and endangering someone's life, so yeah he's pretty bad. I don't know if that's any different from what you already knew though.

No i'm sorry i don't. I haven't actually read it myself i have just had conversations about it with people who have and learned things from them and also from Lazy Subber they are always posting spoilers and things from the novel on their facebook page.

I don't really think Nubsib's behavior has been all that bad. I know he lied to Gene (which of course is wrong), he kept his identity a secret, and has been clingy and possessive (which is weird considering they aren't dating yet). But Gene is making him prove his feelings and making him earn his way back into Gene's condo. So he isn't exactly getting away with it scot-free. Sure Gene could be a little harder on Nubsib and make him suffer some before giving him another chance, but doesn't look like it's going that way. I don't really mind Nubsib as much as Aey because i know the things he does is way worse. Maybe the show will give him some redemption there is only 4 episodes left so they wouldn't be able to include all his bad acts in the show anyways. We will just have to wait and see what happens.

Aey is way worse than Nubsib though at least in the novel. If they follow the novel we will see Aey do some pretty bad stuff.

I agree they should make it perfectly clear especially the main and important parts, because if they don't fans will not understand and be confused. And you are right we shouldn't have to read the novel just to find out what's going on because it wasn't made clear in the series and not everyone can read the novel even if they wanted to. I really don't understand why they didn't focus on making it more clear. I still like the show overall but they could have done a better job explaining that situation.

I agree it wasn't made clear and they should have made it more clear, even if it is in the novel because not everyone has or can read the novel. I know from the novel so i understand Gene and don't feel like he overreacted, but again i know not everyone has read the novel, so without it being made clear on the show it is hard to understand. And even though i know from the novel i still think you are right they could have and should have made it clear on the show, because honestly i didn't know from the novel at first i got confused myself and wanted to understand so i checked into the novel. But they totally should have explained it and made it more clear on the show no doubt.

I agree they should have explained it better in the show. A lot of people feel he overreacted because of that, but i guess because i know from the novel why he was so upset i don't feel like he overreacted i understand it.

Not that i know of

It explains in full detail in the novel why Gene was so upset but it didn't explain all of that in the show. So if you don't know what's in the novel it is hard to understand. But it did make it pretty clear in episode 7 that Gene was mad about Nubsib lying and was questioning Nubsib's feelings for him, but it didn't go into full detail like it is explained in the novel so it can be confusing.

It explains in the novel why Gene was that upset. But you could tell from episode 7 that he was mad about Nubsib lying and was questioning Nubsib's feelings for him. It gives a deeper explanation in the novel though of course.

I was wondering the same thing about the translation, it could have been off. You're welcome and thank you.

I'm sorry i am even stumped on that one. I remember Shi De saying that in episode 4 and i remember in episode 5 Shu Yi said he said it that day when they were in the infirmary, but i went back and i couldn't find it either. That is weird, if i happen to find it i will let you know.
