I would classify this as soft porn. However, even if it didn't have any decent plot at all, I am more than happy to have this in my watched collection. I was watching this and My Stand-In and realized the type of sex scenes that were shown in these were exactly what I like to see in my BLs from time to time. Not everything has to be that deep (just watched Unknown and am happy to watch something light). Anyway, here's me skulking the comment section to see if anyone mentions a series with a similar type of sex scenes. :D

For me, the ending was bittersweet. They do end up together, yes, and are quite happy... but are also facing the consequences of the events from the last episode. Aside from this plot twist, which I still think was bad writing and could easily be fixed by a simple dialogue or a scene (but maybe I missed something), and that one death scene (also in the last episode) that felt like it got included for shock value, I can't say enough good things about this series.

Ah, I thought so but wasn't sure. Thank you!

Who was in the picture? I'm so bad with faces. :/

Hey, no worries. I saw some people being confused and I was like "I have some insight into this" so I overshared a bit, I guess. 😅 I was also really surprised by how well this storyline imitated real life, I would not expect it to be this good. Anyway, I'm super invested and am looking forward to seeing how they handle this in the following episodes. 🧡

I did not watch all episodes properly and skipped some scenes, as I'm waiting for the entirety to be released before I watch it properly, but from what I've already seen... I'm honestly not surprised at all, as I experienced something similar in my late teens/early twenties.

I was in love with my first (semi-unrequited) love and in the early years, I was so laser-focused on him that I unintentionally ignored everyone else. At that time, I also had a really close friend, we were always together for years and mutual friends always kind of joked that we would eventually start dating (we laughed it off every time). I viewed him as a friend/brother and communicated this to him. He knew I loved someone else and he never told me he was in love with me (on the contrary, he talked about being interested in someone else) but then, seemingly randomly, he told me years later that if I had been open to it, he would have married me back then. It took me completely by surprise because he never said anything and I viewed all our interactions as friendship. Whatever didn't fit, I labeled as "nah, I am imagining it", or it was forgotten pretty fast because I was so focused on my first love. So yeah, Chen Yi was dense. I was too. 😅
