I haven't started the series yet but I am reading the novel. I just want to ask how similar the show is to the…
It differs quite a bit from the novel, both in terms of events and timeline, but the series is honestly almost just as worth it. And from the way things are going, it looks like in the next two episodes they won’t even have covered half of the book. I really can’t think of any way they could fit even half of the remaining important events from the novel into just two episodes. So maybe they are planning a second season? I have no idea. There are rumors that there might be one, but nothing has been officially confirmed yet, and personally, unless I see an official announcement, I am not going to let myself get my hopes up. Still, I will say it again, the series is definitely worth watching. And that is coming from someone who absolutely loved the novel. I think I would have liked to see a more faithful adaptation, but even so, the series is so good that it would be a shame to miss it if you enjoyed the novel.

So… unfortunately, I couldn’t find any of her other works in English. She hasn’t written many novels, and the only one that is well-known and translated is this one.

Yeah, out of all the translations of the novel I’ve found, this one is by far the best. It even includes explanations and everything. The people who worked on it did a really great job. Unfortunately, I don’t know! It’s the first book of hers I’ve read, and I probably wouldn’t have even discovered it if it wasn’t for the series. But now that you mention it, I’ll definitely look into whether she has or any of her other works have been translated. If I find anything, I’ll send it to you!

Thanks 💛 I have to say though, especially with these kinds of dynamic couples, I would love to see them switch roles more often. Why does it always have to be one top and one bottom? When I read that particular chapter from the extras, I was honestly shocked. But I absolutely loved that development. I finished it about two weeks ago and now I’m rereading it. I’m completely hooked, it’s one of the best danmei novels I’ve read in recent years. Also, on Wattpad not all the extra chapters are translated. I think there were four or five missing the last time I checked. Take a look here for the rest, especially the last one. It’s really good and includes the story of Xia Zheng Zhing and A Ying in an alternative universe. https://futiledevices.blog/chusans-liuyi-childrens-day/
I’m sorry this is the hill you’re willing to die on. You’re missing a wonderful show.
My thoughts exactly. I can't understand what makes one more 'manly' than the other. They're both men, and it's not like Chusan looks 'feminine'. To be honest, I found that comment somewhat offensive.
It's a cute drama, but nothing compares to Sammy's Children's Day imo. Very different though.
I personally don't mind. The story is set in Hong Kong, so it makes sense that it's dubbed in Cantonese, it's more accurate that way. It threw me off in the first episode, but the story was so good that I barely notice the dub now.
I have to admit, I’m getting the same flashbacks with you, and no matter how much I try to convince myself not…
I get what you mean. They really do an amazing job at delivering content, but it’s so frustrating when everything around it feels so rigid and ends up separating actors who clearly have incredible chemistry. I still ache for Johnny Huang and Timmy Xu 😭 At least they found that loophole and now we’re getting almost uncensored BLs. And honestly, they just keep getting better and better. Ever since Revenged Love, it’s been hard for me to get into BLs from other countries.

It’s China so I don’t have high hopes, I’m trying not to have any at all, but I loved their story and the series more than I expected 💛 You should start the novel too, it’s even better than the series and quite different.
