I am in the middle of episode 5 but I had to stop to organize my thoughts.So for the ones who are already way…
I have so much I want to say, but my mind feels so scattered that I'm worried I'll end up confusing things and spoil you. So, I'll hold off until you reach episode 7, haha. I do agree that the actors are doing an amazing job. Who are your favorites so far?
can someone who have read the novel spoil me the rest of the plot please?
They move into the dorm together, where their connection deepens and they share their first kiss, officially starting their relationship. Their love is sweet and low-key until Qi Jiahao blows their cover, causing their parents to find out. Their parents, disapproving, separate them, and they don’t see each other for six long years. When they finally reunite, they stand up for themselves and assert their right to live their own lives. This time, they face the future together with a happy ending.

Ohm is seriously reminding us why he’s crowned the BL King—this man can generate chemistry with literally anyone on screen. I wasn’t really worried about it, but this episode just wiped away any lingering doubts. The way he connects with Leng is absolutely magnetic, you can feel the chemistry radiating off of them. It’s not forced or awkward—it’s natural, and it draws you in effortlessly.
Now, Leng. For someone who’s essentially stepping into the spotlight for the first time, he completely holds his own. You’d think with Ohm’s presence, he might lean on him for support, but no Leng stands tall and proves he belongs here. His performance felt powerful, like he has this natural presence that commands attention. Sure, there were moments where I cringed, like when he was shouting “let go” repeatedly. But that honestly felt like more of a hiccup in the writing or editing rather than a reflection of his talent. In fact, despite those moments, he shines through with his intense, piercing gazes that leave such a strong impression. There’s a depth to his acting that makes you stop and take notice. He’s clearly got a lot of raw talent, and I’m excited to see how he evolves throughout the series.
What really caught my attention in this episode, though, was the scene with Q at the mall. It might seem simple on the surface, but it says so much about who he is. You can sense he’s avoiding something—probably home, probably loneliness—but there’s more than that. I get the feeling he might be an only child and he’s grown so used to being by himself that it’s second nature now. He’s lonely, sure, but it’s more complex than just physical isolation. There’s this emotional distance in him, like he’s spent years keeping people at arm’s length, and I’m so intrigued to see how this will play out as the story unfolds. His character feels layered, and I’m drawn to finding out what’s beneath that surface.
This episode had its moments of brilliance. Yes, there were small flaws, but nothing major that took away from the overall experience. The dynamic between Ohm and Leng is already captivating, and I can’t wait to see how it deepens. The writing has potential, and with these performances, I’m definitely invested. This is a show worth watching, and I’m excited to see where it goes from here.
second season confirmed but they did not announce the airing period.
I’ve read the novel, and while it's not that long, it seems like they're stretching it by including every little detail from the book. I already know what cliffhanger they’ll likely use to end season 1, and trust me, it won’t be fun if we don’t get a season 2 after that. From what’s been said, the script for season 2 apparently includes 8 kisses and intimate scenes, which makes sense since most of the explicit stuff happens after that cliffhanger in the book. But if they stick to the novel, they’ll definitely kiss in season 1 as well.
second season confirmed but they did not announce the airing period.
It's not confirmed yet. I think people are getting confused because the director mentioned that the script for season 2 is ready, but they’ll only move forward with filming if season 1 gets enough fan engagement. If it doesn't connect well with the target audience, season 2 probably won’t happen.
Their gaze is something else entirely. When Sheng Wang looks at Jiang Tian, it’s like he’s soaking in a boundless, radiant aura that makes everything else seem distant. Jiang Tian, on the other hand, sees Sheng Wang as the one constant, the only element in his life that stands out with crystal-clear focus amidst everything else
Do you know that Benjamin Tsang shares a similar past with Jiang Tian that, for him, the role is quite difficult…
When I first heard about it, I felt genuinely sad. Acting out a trauma you've personally experienced must be incredibly challenging because you're not just performing but re-exposing yourself to painful memories Reliving something so raw can blur the line between performance and personal experience, which might make it hard to maintain emotional boundaries. The mental toll of having to continuously tap into your own past for the sake of authenticity can be overwhelming, and it probably demands a lot of resilience and strength just to get through it. Kudos to him.
Okay can someone explain this to me? I am so confused. Great was shot while trynna block the bullet shot towards…
It's the universe at play. His mind couldn't comprehend who actually shot him, so his subconscious rewrote the events in a way that made sense. If he had saved the woman he left to die in episode 1, it would have resulted in his mother's death. That outcome fit better in his mind than accepting that Tonkla ( a stranger) shot him. It also conveys the message that even when you do one thing right, something bad will still happen.
