You do have a point!

I kind of agree. The Beam/Forth get together was just tooooooo much for me! It seemed totally unbelievable, filled with tropes and cliches, and I think took away from the rest of the story. Too bad! It could've been better....Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait on Ming/Kit.

I can't remember. In the novel, is it Beam/Forth that have sex first? I remember that in the novel Wayo and Pha don't have sex until Wayo's second year. I'm wondering if they will speed that up in the series (or is that 2 Moons 3????

In Book 2, even though there are still remnants of the tropes and stereotypes between Gu Hai and Bai Lao Yin, it was good to see the writers allow Bai Lao Yin exact a little revenge on Gu Hai and put him in his place. I just wish there was more resolution regarding the "rape" scene from Book 1. That whole episode was just soooooo disturbing to me.

Yeah, I have to agree with you there!! LOL

I totally agree! I'm right there with ya!!!!!!!

Agreed! But, why did the story have to be that Beam was submissive to Forth? When Forth told Beam "No" that he couldn't "top" him, and then proceded to be "all over Beam," that was an old trope and stereotype...And now, after one night of drunk sex, Forth and Beam (out of nowhere) fall in love with each other! Again, I'm LMAO! Where do the writers get this stuff...You can have meaningful storylines about LGBTQ+ couples without always relying on the cliches....At least, I think you can,
If you really wanted to make the story interesting, how about Beam being all over a drunk Forth!!!! LOL

LMAO!

Yeah, I agree Park is kind of creepy...

I'm also wondering how the characters of Two and Un turn out. The story has kind of always hinted a secret crush of Two by Un (remember when Un brought Two medicine and soup for his cold AND finished his homework). Then we found out in Ep. 10 that Un has been crushing on Two for as long as Third has been crushing on Khai. Interesting!

I totally agree. I really like this series. And, it's a great comeback after Our Skyy, which I thought was terrible for OFF and GUN. The writers just didn't give them a good storyline like the other actors in the in Our Skyy series received. But, the storyline in this series (at least in my opinion) is the best of all the series in which OFF and GUN have appeared.

LOL!!! Your post had me cracking up!!!! LMAO!

I totally agree! And, I also like the series...it's entertaining, if nothing else. I thought the first series was also entertaining. I just wish the writers (next time) give us just a little more back story, and few less tropes and stereotypes. Perhaps, 2 Moons 3????

Beam and Forth having sex was just too much for me (even if it was in the book). There was NO indicating of that kind of relationship between them. And, it appeared that the book and series continues the same old trope of a guy getting drunk, upset about a relationship, and has sex with another individual. OH, and by the way, the person getting drunk is ALWAYS "bottoming" for the other person. I realize the writers are probably catering to those cheering , adoring , female fans, but, storylines like these are always (at least for me) a bit too much, because it relies totally on tropes and stereotypes to tell the story.

I kind of agree with you. Again, I don't get why Beam would "bottom" out of nowhere!!! I still don't understand how the writers of these BL novels and stories come up with this mess. In a lot of the BL series and novels, the guy with girlfriend or the guy who is "hurt" seems to always be the one "bottoming" for the other partner, and it's almost always after a drunken binge where the one "bottoming" is the one who get's drunk. Where do the writers come up with this mess!!! LOL

Now, book 2 is a bit different. It takes place 8 years later. Bai You Lin is now a major in the Chinese Air Force, and Gu Hai is the President/CEO of his own company. The story does pick up with where Book 1 left off (they split up in the end due to alot of issues). Bai You Lin leaves Gu Hai. Now, fast forward 8 years later -- they meet again when the Chinese Air Force has a military contract with Gu Hai's company. I thought it was an interesting story, and Bai You Lin and Gu Hai end up happliy ever after (and married!) -- which I thought was a great ending to that storyline. However, the part I had trouble with (as I did in Book 1), was the fact that the author of the books relies too heavily of out-of-date tropes regarding LGBTQ+ relationships. For example, the "wifey" references, as well as , the idea that only the bigger, apparently stronger person is automatically the "top" and the other person is authmatically the "bottom" in the relationship. Unforthunately, you find that in a great many BL series, and that's just so sad, because it reinforces all those stereotypes about couple in the LGBTQ+ community. I realize it's just fiction, and written mainly for the girls who are interested in BL material. But, the writers could at least try to infuse a little bit of realism.

Actually, that part is kind of vague in the book 1. Gu Hai and his father sort of come to an understanding. The same is said for Bai You Lin and his mother. All the parents (as well as their high school friends) eventually discover the relationship and have difficulty with it at first (except for Bai You Lin's dad). But, if you're asking if Bai You Lin and Gu Hai end up together, the answer is yes, but this is at the end of book 2.

Yep! But, that is in the book. If they were to make a season 2, I would sincerely hope that the director and producers either re-write that scene, or eliminate it entirely. Then, the rest of the story would flow pretty darn good with a great ending....

You call being brutally raped and humiliated a masterpiece of writing!!!!???? I really don't understand some folks out there in "BL land." I realize that all of this is just entertainment and fantasy, BUT COME ON!

However, if they do a season 2, leave out "that" part or even completely rewrite that scene , it would make for a great sequel....
