as much as i was looking forward to the 2nd couple, i don't like Guang Ming, dude shady & being a cop - that makes him scary as he targeted Chu San cause he saw him with Liu Yi, this means he will go through anyone, just to get his target. like i said scary -
i just hope this BL doesn't have a sad/depressing ending & that the main couple doesn't leave me heartbroken. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

wait for a week & watch 7 & 8 together.... even though 9 is the last ep, so 8 might also end with a cliffhanger 🤷‍♀️ so up to u 😏🖐

what a freakin place to end 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️😭 now got to wait a week.... ugh 😫
btw just 2 more eps left 😲

did i miss the scene? cause i didn't see Pete making the offer to both, only to Rome 🤔

just started watching this & have one main observation; i really don't get why mention addiction or rehab when the guys who supposedly r addicted & went to rehab, continue to consume the "drug of choice" that sent them there, as if any amount after rehab is ok/safe/healthy.

when ur addicted u don't just go to rehab & everything gets fixed afterwards, it's for life(!) u have to keep away from that vice & keep vigilant that u don't fall off the wagon, cause u will either end up back in rehab or worse = 💀. but here addiction is treated like a cold or the flue, u get treatment & ur good as new 🤷‍♀️WTF.

yeah u r right, forgot that they were bff's with North - so i guess we will see him. maybe it's just too late & my brain isn't working 😅🤦‍♀️thanks for reminding me 😁🖐

North is the MVP of this series, he is hilarious & i just love him popping up making every scene fun & funny. idk who is gonna stay on for the next romance ( Tiger & Nao's story) just hope, i keep getting more of North ✌

that was a touching of lips, not even a kiss. that's what i meant & NO i didn't mean i wanted to see them eating each others mouths off
but even a goodnight kiss can be more than what we got - that's what i meant.

ahh... guess i missed that detail. thanks for correcting me

really? i was sure he was the sister's husband 🤔 guess i got it wrong

didn't say it's wrong. just to me it comes off as a justification, a excuse, a get out free card & that's something i don't think Kanada & his ilk deserve.
yeah he might have suffered, but being the adult, he knew what he was doing. he didn't just target someone vulnerable, but also someone impressionable & he turned himself into his only life-line. he has brainwashed him to such a degree - Akira is terrified of ending things even when offered an out, cause he thinks Kanada is the only one that will accept him for who/what he is.
so trying to psychoanalyze Kanada is great, for understanding the man, but his actions?? yeah, nope i could care less how much he suffered. i would rather analyze the outcome of his grooming & how it is affecting his victim.
the fact there BL's dealing with this subject, this isn't bad - but i can't be detached in my approach to this or any subject that r a red line for me. & grooming of any kinda make me see red.

anyway am sorry if u felt i was attacking u personally, there points where i agree with u, but on a whole cause of this subject i was heated. nothing personal ✌

idk about wild, but i guess there r BL's that can go there (& movies for sure). but on a whole most of the BL r like the ones on ur list - "meaningful" or more PG.

that kiss at the end was kinda underwhelming to say the least, lol (when u compare it to the flashback scenes) but Sakutaro was moved - so i guess it felt more impassioned them it looked 😅🖐

p.s. is Sakutaro brother-in-law interested in him? idk why from the 1s ep there is something in how he looks at Sakutaro, that makes me wonder. but maybe i am reading too much into a look 🤷‍♀️

i hope he doesn't, but it can also be Ouyang Han's heart that gets broken twice. cause, just cause they sleep together doesn't mean Li Ming will be ready to be with him, as an official couple 🤷‍♀️

he didn't seem like a playboy from what we have seen so far. but maybe u r right 🤦‍♀️

what? i missed that - i guess i need to rewatch ASAP. thanks for the heads up.

but hope u r wrong, even though from the start cause of the narration, i had a bad feeling that it isn't a couple reminiscing about how they met, but someone recalling their 1st love 😥 hope i aint right ugh 😫

had a feeling Ouyang Han was interested in Yu Lei, throwing him hints to see how he would react to the gay issue, let alone to himself (what with the non-stop flirting). but Yu Lei never had eyes for him. this ep made it very clear that he is interested in Yu Lei.
felt sad/bad for him, he actually tried to changed his appearance to look like Chen Ke, as if that would make Yu Lei notice him. & i am happy Li Ming will be there to pick up the pieces, BUT as we have seen in the previous ep Li Ming got a gf. so how's that gonna work 🤷‍♀️
how complicated is this gonna get. i am stressing out as is with He Jin lurking in the shadows ugh. even Zhang Han is circling the pair & if that wasn't enough Chen Ke's father could be the "cherry" on top aish🤦‍♀️

sadly that's the vibe i also get from him 😫🖐

i like some, would rather not have to sit through Akira's grooming scenes as it's not a comfortable watch (& that's putting it lightly). but i know they're there for us to understand his character better. like his panicked rejection of ending that "relationship" it's cause he was groomed & not just that, but also Kanada made sure (like every experienced pedo knows to do) to use Akir'a insecurities against him, isolating him into thinking he is the only one that will accept him for who he is & wouldn't reject or treat him as his 1st crush did. cause they in the same boat - they share the same secret.
he told Akira he took advantage of his kindness - nope(!) he took advantage of Akira's secret - that he was gay & scared this secret would get out. that is what is binding Akira to him & even though Akira knows it's wrong & is ashamed of this "relationship" he is more worried that if they ended things, he would be left all alone. that's freakin sad & that's why what Kanda did to him, was so much worse then just using him sexually.

from the sec i "got" that Akira's story aint gonna be light, i knew this won't be the usual fluff - teen love BL. which is usually what we get. just need to mentally prepare myself before every ep, cause i know i will have to stomach watching the gaslighting & manipulation - which we have with abundance with Kanada's character. this makes me wonder, do i even want the mains together? cause Akira has enough on his plate & needs to 1st learn to stand on his own two feet & love himself without leaning on a sicko that's just dragging him down & will never be healthy for him mentally. if anything he will keep him tied down, never allowing Akira to "spread his wings" then maybe he will be ready for love. idk -

he isn't(!) letting him go. he leaves it up to Akira while knowing full well that he has groomed & conditioned Akira into thinking he is the only one that he has, that will understand & accept him. that's why Akira won't ever take the offer - why he straight off rejects the offer, cause he terrified thinking no one else will accept him for who he is - who made him feel this isolated, if not that groomer?!???
the fact u think he isn't being manipulative - like really?? or maybe i am just that jaded, that i can see through the manipulation. which in every scene he's in, u can sense with the sh*t he says... which might seem caring & considerate, but they far from.
