For me its still the same, every episode till the end is uploaded
no they are; if you use a VPN and set it to a non-NA country you'll be able to see them, but they unblock one episode for NA every 2 weeks or so? it's so that they can drive more people towards subscribing to iQIYI. they only unblocked ep 11 like a month ago, and then ep 12 a couple weeks ago; when I first started watching none of them were unblocked for NA but I've been seeing each one pop up in succession

they've always been blocked on YouTube in NA and Thailand. they're unblocking them one by one as enough weeks have gone by to maximize traffic to iQIYI
You're completed entitled to your opinion on the show, and I do agree with some of your points, but I just really…
You don't have to apologize for not liking the show, that's not the point of my reply and I'm sorry if I made it seem like you had to. I completely understand why people DON'T like the series — I have my own qualms and, like I said, agree with some of your comments — you're justified in your criticism and you should be able to share that without backlash, you are NOT the problem, okay?
My response specifically commented on the way you interpreted that episode 12 TanFang conversation, which was portrayed to be one of the most sincere moments in the entire show, as just another Tan being stupid, annoying Tan and not apparently serious enough for the situation when according to Fang, that was exactly what he needed and he was SO grateful for Tan then.
It's not about whether you disliked Tan or disliked TanFang — I know quite a few people who took issue with Tan's character and his overbearing nature, as well as those who think Fang didn't care as much (in the beginning) — and as you said, we're past that anyway. I was just a bit bothered with the way you completely dismissed Tan in that scene (and Fang too, for that matter), which meant you didn't see the scene the way it's intended to be, so I wanted to clear things up. Again, the writing and direction of the show probably did not make this any easier for you, so eh. I'm sorry if I sounded aggressive, I'm rather passionate about the things I love and that TanFang conversation in ep 12 (and especially Fang as a character, who has been so misunderstood) means a lot to me on a personal level.
I don’t care if you like the show or not but a friends group all being gay is not unrealistic
as a queer person, literally this because why the hell are we still calling all queer friend groups (@ op, they're also not all 'gay' but go off ig) unrealistic when found family is foundational to queer identity :/
I'm sorry for my words, but that's how I feel about the drama I was lookomg forward toI watched it from the very…
You're completed entitled to your opinion on the show, and I do agree with some of your points, but I just really have to dispute the way you completely misinterpreted that TanFang scene where Fang cries (episode 12, I'm assuming). Tan DID take him seriously—he listened so attentively and, having known the brothers through high school, reassured Fang regarding his feelings. He was so toned down from his usual aggressive affection that for you to see it as "typical Tan" and "overhyped optimism" is like, what, did we watch the same scene?? Just because you think the situation "needed otherwise" doesn't mean that, if you understood the characters, Tan sweetly caring about Fang's recovered smile and his "look at me, I'm so crazy over you, I love love love love you" is exactly what Fang wanted in the moment, when he's insecure and afraid of not being enough and needs to know that his partner would never leave him behind.
Tan loves loudly and proudly and shamelessly, and Fang lets him because he has never gotten that from anyone before. It may outwardly exasperate him but he does reciprocate it with his own acts of service and gratitude. Did he or did he not smile, so helplessly charmed at Tan's "embarrassing" antics, his fears washed away in the moment? Did he or did he not thank him for loving him, because that's exactly what he needed to hear?
TanFang in episode 12 is genuinely my favourite scene of theirs, because the conversation they had is so incredibly meaningful—the way AouBoom did so well portraying the characters, the layers and layers of implications behind those words—I usually don't even engage on MDL but I just had to this time because you're literally the only person I've seen that didn't like it and completely misread it.
