Thank You and you are welcome. I understand and know that sometimes it's hard to understand things and also very easy to miss things. I myself had to watch each episode through a couple of times to make sure i caught everything and connected the dots, i was super confused about the stepsister as well because it wasn't addressed in the episodes. But someone was kind enough to share the link of the deleted scenes with me and it helped a lot. I don't know why they deleted such important scenes though. I hope the link and the info helps you understand it better. It was no problem at all i was glad to write it and help out or at least try to help you make sense of it. I hope you have an amazing day as well.

The blonde girl and the emails were addressed the blonde girl was addressed in deleted scenes though not sure why they deleted it, but she is Shi De's stepsister. And the emails were addressed in episode 4 Shi De had sent Shu Yi emails every week the whole time he had been gone but Shu Yi never got them because his dad intercepted them and deleted them before Shu Yi ever received them. Shi De still had all the emails he had sent Shu Yi and he let Shu Yi see them and read them. Well that was partly addressed in episode 4 and also partly in the deleted scenes and they realized Shu YI's dad had intercepted the emails. They also addressed how Shi De's mom was sick in episode 4 when it showed Shi De getting ready to leave the US to go back to Taiwan he was talking to his mom and it explained that she had pregnancy hypertension. She didn't know she was pregnant and pregnant women who have hypertension aren't supposed to fly because low oxygen levels and less air for mother and baby. So because of her hypertension and flying she ended up in bad shape and having problems with her pregnancy and even after the baby was born. It's connected to the story because that's why Shi De stayed in America for so long, that was explained in episode 6 during the video call between Shi De his mom and Shu Yi. Shi De's mom explained it to Shu Yi that because of her pregnancy and health issues Shi De stayed longer to help out but Shu Yi was neglected because of it. Shu Yi forgave Shi De because he loves him and knows that his dad played a big part in why they were separated so long and the other part is because of Shi De's mom's health. And yes Shu Yi's dad accepted them also in episode 6 he apologized to SHu Yi for not being a good dad and said he wanted him to be happy and asked him if he was happy now with Shi De and Shu Yi said yes and invited his dad over for dinner so Shi De can cook him dinner ( Shi De's idea) and Shu Yi's dad agreed to the dinner even though they didn't show it. As far as Yu Zhen Xuan and Pei he may have known about his condition from medical files, and he developed a crush on Pei from the start i believe because Pei took care of him was the first one to ever care for him and he kept going to the infirmary to see Pei, and he went after him for 12 years because of his crush. Which may not seem reasonable but he does have mental disorders so he doesn't think and operate like regular people might. But that's just what i gathered because they didn't give much more detail than that. And it wasn't really zero to hundred with Bing Wei and Shi Zhe Yu they had been together since college, it showed that in the last episode of season 1 when they were still in college they had already got together. And it said in episode 6 of season 2 that they had been living together. Bing Wei said it when he proposed that they had been living together and that he liked living with him and wanted to live with him/be with him forever. Looks like you missed a lot lol. or maybe like you said you didn't understand it. I will post the link of the deleted scenes, and as for the rest maybe you can go back and watch it and see if you understand it better. As for Alpha it never was explained who hired her or why or what purpose it even served for the story. Hopefully anything that didn't get cleared up will get solved or explained in season 3. Here is the link for the deleted scenes.

You are not the only one

You're welcome

It was told in deleted scenes why they would cut something so important i don't know someone further down posted the deleted scenes where it tells it. But the girl is Shi De's stepsister and the baby Oscar is his half brother. His mom was pregnant before they even went to America but ended up having problems with her pregnancy and having health issues after the pregnancy that's why Shi De stayed in America longer.

Exactly!!!

No Shu Yi's dad had been deleting the emails the whole time otherwise Shu Yi would have been getting them because Shi De had been sending one a week since he went to America and he was there for 2 years before he came back and met Shu Yi's father. So if the father hadn't been deleting them,then in those 2 years Shu Yi would have recieved them, but he said he never recieved any. And they explained the mom's medical condition too, she didn't know she was pregnant and had developed pregnancy hypertension. Pregnant women with hypertension are not supposed to fly because being up that high the oxygen level is lower which means less oxygen for mother and baby. Shi De and his mom had just flown from Taiwan to America while she had pregnancy hypertension (which she was unaware of) and that caused her to have to be hospitalized. If they had been too long with less oxygen it could have caused death. But as far as why Shi De didn't tell Shu Yi i don't really know about that, unless maybe he didn't want to burden Shu Yi with his problems because like Shu Yi had said in another episode not sure which one Shi De thinks he can handle all problems by himself.

But if they change his character from the novel it won't really be telling his whole story so i don't know if they will change it. It's possible they could change it some but i'm not sure, we will have to wait and see. But for me either way i already know how he is in the novel so his character is already ruined for me. But i do hope overall the show just keeps getting better.

I wonder if they will make any changes to Aey's character from the novel. In the novel he turns out not to be a good person don't really want to to go into details and spoil it but he does something bad to Gene and Nubsib and it has nothing to with his career. What he does to Gene and Nubsib will not help his career at all, nor prove anything to his parents, in fact what he does is illegal. I know what he does i guess that's why i don't find him interesting just bad, and really don't care for him i don't like people who hurt other people just for the heck of it or just to try to get what they want, I have no respect for people like that. And that is pretty much how Aey is in the novel, and if they follow the novel we will start seeing him being bad in the next few episodes.

That's true

They didn't explain it in ep 6 true but it was explained pretty clearly in ep 7 or at least i thought it was. It was made clear that Gene was upset about Nubsib lying by him confronting Nubsib for lying to him, accusing him of still lying when Nubsib said he liked him again and threatening to beat Nubsib up if he lied again. And also it was made clear that Gene was questioning Nubsib's feelings by calling them a joke and by telling Nubsib that if he wanted him to believe it that Sib had to prove it. But yet even after all that was shown people still keep saying Gene was overreacting, and assuming the only reason he was acting that way was because Nubsib didn't say goodbye as a kid. But anyone who watched episode 7 and paid attention to every single detail and every word that was said would know that Gene wasn't that upset just because of that. I mean that was mentioned once while the lying and the questioning of the feelings was talked about more it was basically the whole conversation. So how was it not made clear? How was it not explained? But my main point was just because people don't understand what happened they still shouldn't say someone is overreacting, especially if they don't know the whole story. Because saying someone is overreacting is invalidating their feelings and basically saying their feelings are wrong.

I believe it has been on twitter and instagram but they kinda pretty much confirmed it at the end of the episode Their story isn't over pretty much confirms another season or a special episode because if their is no other season then their story would be over.

There is going to be a 3rd season

Aey is going to be an evil character going forward i don't know if i would consider him interesting but some people might and that's ok. I really don't like him though, maybe because i know from the book what he is about but he's not for me lol. I do feel sorry for him though what he is going through with his family, but other than that don't care for him. I can kinda see your comparison a little bit about him and Gene as far as the being alone and the childhood friends but other than that they aren't alike. I don't really know about Aey having goals to put his future back together unless those goals include doing mean and bad things and hurting people. But don't really see how he could think that would put his life back together. I am truly dreading his character in the next coming weeks, and what he will do. I found it very funny that in the preview for episode 8 he calls Gene bad for liking Nubsib because he had told Gene that he likes Nubsib. And so what there is no law that says 2 people can't like the same person and it doesn't make Gene bad. I find it even more funny that Aey called Gene bad when he is actually the bad one, well at least if they follow the book he is going to be bad. I am not looking forward to it i am bracing myself lol.

Yes!! I couldn't agree with you more everyone reacts to things differently, and no one is wrong for feeling or reacting however they do because each person is different and each person's feelings are valid and should not be made to feel invalidated or to feel like they are wrong.

Well that wasn't why Gene was so upset and reacted that way people keep thinking it was because Nubsib didn't say goodbye when they were kids but that's not why yes he was bothered by that i'm sure probably more so when he was a kid. The reason he reacted that way was because Nubsib lied to him. Gene is 26 has never had a relationship and is uncomfortable with his sexuality even got defensive and denied it to his friends when they asked. But the first person he starts to fall for is Nubsib, and Nubsib lied to him. That made Gene feel like everything Nubsib had ever said to him was a lie including the fact that Nubsib has feelings for him. That was made pretty clear in episode 7 by Gene saying HAHA funny joke when Nubsisb said he liked him again and by Gene telling Nubsib to prove his feelings. He felt like Nubsib was playing with his feelings but Gene was actually falling for Nubsib that's why Gene was so hurt. I don't know why people can't see or understand that, i personally thought it was made pretty clear by Gene's comments about Sib's feelings being a joke and wanting him to prove them and him asking Sib why he lied. Gene was clearly hurt by the lies and the fear that Sib's feelings weren't real. This explanation also came from the book. Which if you haven't read the book then i guess it would be hard to understand, and they didn't fully explain that in the show but you have to pay attention to every little detail and piece it together. Even if i didn't know it was from the book i still would have pieced it together by Gene's comments that the lies and his insecurities about Nubsib's feelings were a big part of why he was upset and reacted that way. And also i saw the teaser from ep 8 and Gene did not overreact he told Sib that what he did was wrong, and it was lying is wrong regardless of the reason, lying hurts the people you lie to. But he told Sib they could start over but Sib couldn't live with him, maybe that's why you think it is an overreaction but Sib did lie and hurt Gene so he has to earn Gene's trust back. I personally have been lied to by someone i was in love with and it hurts and makes it hard to trust them. Once i found out i had been lied to i questioned everything they had ever told me and everything they told me after that for a long time, always wondering what was true and what was a lie so i personally understand Gene, it's a terrible feeling to be lied to by someone you care about and trusted and it does make you question if everything they say or have said is a lie so i don't think Gene overreacted at all.But I know not everyone would have the same reaction i did. Not everyone is going to handle situations the same or react the same to situations and no one has the right to judge someone else and tell them how they should react to a situation. One person might react like Gene did and someone else might not really be bothered and just brush it off, both and any reaction is fine because each person is different and each person's feelings are valid. Also it clearly showed in that episode that Gene was upset and questioning Nubsib about why he lied and it showed that Gene was questioning Nubsib's feelings for him yet you said all it showed was that Gene was still angry about Nubsib not saying goodbye as a kid which simply isn't true. looks like you may have missed some things.

I think we are getting a season 3 though it said at the end of the episode their story isn't over yet so we are either getting a 3rd season or a special episode.

Yes it is confirmed but it won't be on next week they haven't even filmed it yet i don't think.

Really other people were saying it was a good ending. And there is no episode next week this was the last episode.

Yes!! I agree it is very sad and a shame that people are still like that and it's very disappointing. But yes you are right that kiss showed that Gene is getting more comfortable with his sexuality, i'm also hoping for more positive developments although there will be some setbacks.
