I checked his/her watchlist too. Just another homophobic that has nothing better to do with his/her life I guess...

It did bother me a little at first, but now I don't even notice it! And I'm happy for that cause the series are awesome!

I get what you mean. It’s not even about judging people’s taste, it’s just frustrating when you can clearly see the effort and quality in something and it still goes underappreciated.
And yeah, there’s definitely a difference between something being fluffy and something being formulaic. Fluff can still feel fresh and engaging if it has charm or a unique angle. Cherry Magic is a perfect example, I loved it too. But when it’s just the same pattern over and over, it gets tiring.
I think sometimes hype doesn’t really reflect quality, it’s more about timing, trends, or what clicks with the majority at that moment. Still, it sucks when a show you’re genuinely invested in doesn’t get the recognition it deserves.
I hope Sammy's CD gets more attention. It's currently my favourite show too, and it has the potential to be one of my favourites 💛

You’re right, RL really is a unique case. I’m a fan of Chai Jidan’s work, so I totally get the hype. I remember seeing TikTok videos and tons of articles popping up everywhere about the RL series long before it even aired, that’s why I bring it up when comparing it to Sammy’s CD, which has had basically zero promotion.
As a 30+ European woman, I honestly struggle to understand why BLs like this don’t get the hype they deserve. Aren’t younger audiences getting a bit tired of all the fluffy BLs that have been coming out lately? How is there not a bigger demand for something more unique and emotionally deep? I don't know, maybe it's just me thinking that way.

😩😩😩

Did my boys get hate for their looks? Are people blind or something???

Another major reason I think it doesn’t have more hype is that not many people even know about it. It wasn’t promoted at all before its premiere, not even a little. Within just twenty four hours, two well known platforms picked it up, released the trailer, and then only a few hours later dropped the first episode. I have honestly never seen anything like that before.
I understand that CBL shows are not heavily promoted because of restrictions in China and because they want to avoid drawing attention from the government. In fact, the only CBL I have seen get significant promotion before its premiere is Revenged Love. It is also the one that became the most popular. Of course, not only because of the promotion, but I'm sure that the fact a lot of people already knew about it well before its premiere played a big role.

I know! Viki rarely brings BLs, definitely not as many as in previous years. It just happened to release four this past month. Still, it’s so frustrating to see that so many people in 2026 still have this mindset…

I don't know, dear, that’s just what they’re writing in the comments on the show's page on viki. They’re rating it 1 star just because another gay show popped up on their front page.

Apparently, many people on Viki are rating it low just because it’s another gay show and it “ruins their aesthetic”… yeah, some people really have issues.

They cast her so well! She's my favourite character in the novel, such a badass. I love her 💛

They're still translating it, but they upload 6-8 chapters a day! And the translation is smooth.

Yeah, and I hope it's for the better. I'm not buying anything about a second season unless it's confirmed by the producers (maybe not even then, we've been misled quite a few times with "second seasons"). So I hope they make it as whole as they can with the time they have. I'm loving it either way too 💛

I hope that's the case. But with China's history especially on bls, I can't help but to feel uneasy 😞
As you said, they should at least give us something, a hint to keep waiting patiently, that's all I ask.

No, you’re not the only one, I do the exact same thing 😅
I check every day here and on social media in general for updates about the special. I’m glad I’m not the only obsessive one 🤣
To be honest, I’ve started to get a little worried too…

You’re not. He has an incredibly charming and expressive gaze. It’s a shame we won’t see him in the series anymore.

Yeah, you're right, I didn't say it right

Yeah 😅

Beautiful start. Unexpectedly, I already love the vibes from the second couple, that’s rare for me! The acting feels natural and I love the cinematography.
