I feel like I'm watching a different show than everyone else. Maybe I'm watching the cut verson and all the good…
Hmmm I completely disagree. I'm loving it so far personally. The whole drunk scene I saw as a commentary on how bls usually handle them.. which is unclear consent or completely forgetting everything. They didn't do either of these things which I found refreshing. I think at this point it's pretty clear that Nubsib knows Gene previously and I do think they will dive into that.
I actually really like Gene.. to me he is a representation of an introverted, slightly socially awkward, non doormat. Sometimes he's weird.. sometimes too blunt.. but it never feels like its coming from a bad place, but just not knowing how to handle a given situation. Every episode touches on bl tropes and I really enjoy that. Obviously just my opinion.
Beside all the cute moments between Nubsib and Gene, I'm starting to get suspicious about Sib. Something is smelly…
I could spoil it a bit for you IF they follow the novel's reasoning... I haven't read it, but I've read some spoilers from people who have read the book... if you are interested.
Ok it says every episode is an 1 hour and 5 min but on YouTube ep 2 has 13 min for part 1-3 but part 4 is 9 minutes…
Yeah the first episode was 1 hour and 5 minutes so they probably just put that as the runtime in the info, but the other episodes aren't. The uncut version on wetv is exactly the same as when they release it on their official YouTube.
I really liked that! The flirting in the first half... excuse meeeee.. that was lovely. It was pretty tame, but it felt like the characters actually liked each other and were in a relationship. The production isn't the highest, but it's not the worst either.
Question: So viki says subs are at 99%. Do I wait for them to go up to 100 or watch now?
I think the songs being translated counts towards the sub percentage. So sometimes it will say 80 percent, but its a word here or there not subbed or the songs not being subbed all the way too.
cringy & toxic are the two words that come to my mind after watching the first epit's my personal feelings though,…
Oh man I liked it! I didn't think it was that cringing... I think the trailer really didn't deceive. You could tell the tone (at least) one of the stories will be from it.. Kinda silly and fluffy and then the other story more dramatic. I dunno it's only the first (or 2nd? I know Viki usually combines history history episodes) episode.
Are you saying we're supposed to ship someone with a stalker?! It made me uncomfortable especially when he was…
There might be a bit of a twist there. I'm pretty intrigued where they will go with that. I've liked all of the HIStory (except the very first body switch one.. the only one I won't rewatch) so I'm interested where (and HOW) that relationship will go.
I actually really liked it. I mean the trailer gives you a good idea what it will be like. Like if you didn't like the trailer, I don't know what to tell ya. Because the trailer I think really tells you how the tone and stuff will be. One story is kinda light and silly and the other it setting more to be a bit more dramatic. I'm intrigued and liked the first episode personally.
Replying to my own post lol .... it's possible that the stalker scene was a consensual role-play between the two…
Well that would be an interesting spin lol. I'm actually pretty intrigued where they are gonna go with the stalker step brother story. Yeah a bit creepy, but also I wanna learn more.
I'm pretty intrigued by this. I'm curious about the stalker step brother actually.. I mean yeah it's creepy, but I still wanna learn more about their relationship. And I'm feeling Xiao Li Chen and Teng Muren pairing. I've only hated the very first HIStory (with the body swap and crap), but I've really enjoyed the rest. I liked the first episode.
In my opinion, it was not a rape. As someone here has written, Shu Yi fought against his own feelings. He also…
I guess I see it as a difference between real life and drama. We get insight into both characters which we don’t get in real life. We see Shu Yi push him away and Shi De moving away and sitting on another couch. All those breaks and Shu Yi holding himself back from caressing Shi De paint a picture. We are just able to get into the characters heads which again real life doesn’t offer. Just my opinion though.

I agree. It felt like Shu Yi was fighting more against his own feelings than actually Shi De himself. I noticed Shu Yi wanting and attempting to caress Shi De's face also but holding himself back. I also don't think they actually had sex.
I have not read the novel, but I did read a comment from someone who said they did and they gave a spoiler/insight…
I was looking through the official YouTube 1st episode and saw this. I actually like being spoiled so... and like I said I mean shows change things so they might go in a different direction.. but I see happening (Nubsib is being sneaky etc). Spoiler ahead now! lol
"your suspicion is 100% correct. I did sneak peek on the novel and it looks like Gene and Nubsib childhood friends. I guess they know each other's parents. Something made Nubsib went to overseas and they got separated. Seems Gene almost forgot abt Nubsib (not sure. Cause i just read 10 chapters ??). So excited to see ep 3. Nubsib is full of sly plans just like you said."
The scene in Ep. 2 where the fancy car drops Sib off at Gene's condo got me thinking - either Sib is a rent boy…
I have not read the novel, but I did read a comment from someone who said they did and they gave a spoiler/insight about that. I won't put it here b/c I don't want to spoil unless someone is interested. I mean they might end up changing things for the show so I'm not sure how accurate it will be.
it does! I have a vpn that I use to watch it on wetv (I'm a vip so it was a bummer to found out it wouldn't be in my country.. I rewatch on the official YouTube since I'm just a show rewatcher in general). WeTV does have eng subs!!
