I get you completely. I can’t really enjoy other series the same way either when I get hooked on something. And right now, even though I’m watching other BLs, and there’s one I’ve been waiting for ages that’s really well made and totally my taste, I still can’t fully enjoy it because I’m stuck on our boys here 🥹

And like you said, I don’t even know if I want to move on from it, at least not yet. So yeah, it’s probably better to watch it later, once some time has passed, and you’ve kind of detached from Sammy’s. Only then will you really be able to enjoy it and appreciate it properly. Either way, I’m really glad I convinced you to watch it, and I’ll be waiting to hear your thoughts 💛

I haven’t watched Ossan’s Love, but I’ll definitely add it to my list. I’ll probably get to it at some point. I’ve heard from a few people that it’s really good.

The novel is a masterpiece, I swear! I'm trying to read other danmeis and can't get into them after Chusan's Liuyi Children's Day.

I have faith too sis 🙏

Honestly, I’d be over the moon if we actually got a second season. I’m willing to wait as long as it takes, I just desperately hope it happens someday 😩

From what I remember in the main story their sons never met

I have no idea. I only read the main story on Wattpad and even that was a while back. I don’t remember many details either.

Haha, yeah, from the novel, Lu Feng had also a biological son that he didn't know that Lu Feng was his father.

They both have biological sons

😭

Hahaha, I don’t think I could take the comments, honestly 🤣

Of course, I’m not saying it justifies their actions, it just gives the reader/viewer a certain sense of satisfaction.

I’m with you 🤣 The more toxic and awful they are, the sexier 🤤

🤤🤤🤤

You can read it on watppad, "A Round Trip to Love"

Still, Mo Ran actually has a redemption arc while Lu Feng doesn’t. Mo Ran’s story is about becoming a better person and facing the consequences of his actions. With Lu Feng, the story doesn’t really try to make him redeem himself. He's just fucked up till the end 😅

This is one of the very few times where I actually like the series more than the novel, at least for now. I really like that they toned the characters down a bit because it makes it easier for me to accept them together. I also really like the small changes they made to Yi Chen’s character because they make him much more likable to me. In the novel I honestly couldn’t bring myself to like any of the characters. Here he doesn’t feel as pathetic and helpless as he did in the novel.

No honestly I get you. Dark romance can be really fascinating when it’s done well because it pushes everything to the extreme emotionally, but sometimes the line between toxic obsession and actual love gets so blurred that it leaves you emotionally exhausted after every episode.

And honestly that’s exactly why I personally love dark romance in general. It explores emotions and dynamics that are messed up, intense and uncomfortable in a way lighter romances usually don’t. Double Helix is especially brutal because the show doesn’t really soften the damage. The tension and chemistry are insane, but at the same time it makes you sit with how disturbing the relationship actually is instead of romanticizing everything completely. That’s probably why it feels so addictive and uncomfortable at the same time. You’re basically suffering every week but still counting the days until the next episode 💀

Hahaha, let's praise my baby Fan 🤣

Second Friday without them... 😞

Seems like never 🥹
