Just finished it and I've been crying all night. It's profoundly sad with an insufficient bit of hope at the end. I hate the father and would incinerate him with my third eye.
So I could hardly sleep last night and woke up crying again. I'll list observations in a Spoiler comment
I haven't watched a single episode of this show and this comment has me laughing my ass off oml xD Out of curiosity,…
Hi Emi, I had actually entered a follow-up spoiler with my complaints, but it disappeared somehow. I must have offended someone by it. I guess you're just going to have to watch it! I loved the series and recommend it. But if you are prone to suicide avoid it. I was crying for days and am crying again just thinking about it. One's only alternative is to write a better ending in your own mind and convince yourself that's what happened. Even though China doesn't allow overt gay actions, the love between the leads is always overwhelmingly palpable, even more so than other countries' with the smooching.
So Wu Ming Hao puts the scarf around HER neck, keeps his back to her and says: "I'm going to America." How heartless. And there is NO possible good reason for Shao Nian to cut Lin Xiao out of his life so utterly and cruelly. I felt like all the air left the room and I slept lousy. These writers have a huge responsibility and they often blow it.
OK, I figured out what must have happened. The person who wrote the first 23 episodes died and his younger brother, who hates him and has never loved anyone wrote the last one.
So I could hardly sleep last night and woke up crying again. I'll list observations in a Spoiler comment
