Internationally yes but they care more about the internal ratings specifically Taiwan because that's where they get the majority of money from

We could ignore it but it does affect their work, the director had a plan for season 2 but he will only do it if the audience receives this show well and right now it's a disaster because the rating is insanely low which takes away our chance of seeing them on our screens again 😭 on top of that, I don't even want to imagine the state of their mental health after hearing so many malicious comments about how they look

From my understanding their primar concern is "they aren't handsome enough"

I'll cry with you😭 thank you for reading it ❤🫂

Hi bb! ❤ I agree, the story pulls you in with them. It's so beautifully done 😭

It's the peek of hypocrisy 😭 not only were they brothers but there was rape involved between them in H4

I understand that, it's not like everyone has to like their appearance but their faces shouldn't determinate how good the show is, that makes the rating invalid for me. As for the intimacy, they only got into that when they were officially together in the book, I am guessing the show will take a similar approach

I really don’t understand the low ratings on Douban, especially since they’re not even critiquing the plot. The negative feedback seems to be focused on two things: 1) the actors not fitting certain beauty standards, and 2) complaints from book readers claiming it doesn’t do the source material justice, which, as someone who’s read the book, I can confidently say isn’t true. They’ve followed the storyline very closely, with only one significant adjustment so far. It’s frustrating that instead of engaging with the actual story, people are hung up on superficial things like appearances and strict book-to-screen comparisons.

I’m responding here to both this comment and the one under my post because, I’m not wasting time on two separate replies.

First, regarding the comment on my post—calling something a masterpiece is *subjective*, not some universal declaration. It’s my perspective, plain and simple. I’m allowed to feel that way without needing to convince anyone. How exactly does my “bias” affect you? Why are you so invested in discrediting my opinion? If you disagree, that’s fine, but you won’t see me tracking down your comments to dismantle your views. There’s space for different opinions without turning it into a personal mission to undermine someone else's take.

Now, onto this comment—you’re spending a lot of time and energy trying to figure out why people love the show, as if you need to crack the code. But maybe instead of speculating about everyone’s motives, consider that people can enjoy things without needing to meet some specific criteria or explanation. The show isn’t loved because of some shallow stepbrother trope; it’s the storytelling that resonates. And newsflash: no one owes you a justification for why they connect with it. Audiences aren't required to validate their reasons for liking something to anyone, least of all to someone who’s more focused on critiquing others than engaging with the material. Leave your own review, cool, but stop acting like this is a psychological evaluation of people’s reasons for enjoying content.

At the end of the day, everyone’s entitled to their own thoughts, but you don’t get to police how people relate to or appreciate a show.

Anyway, that's all. 😒

Haha, honestly, the amount of wasted food is kind of hilarious! 🤣—Wang was definitely stalling. He was still feeling all shy and awkward after what went down the night before, trying to find any excuse to avoid going with Tian. But the moment he realized Tian was actually waiting for him, he couldn’t help but give in and follow him out, so naturally, the food was forgotten.

Thank you ❤ and of course I am sending you a link.

There are many ways to interpret that moment, but to me, it’s clear that Tian saw the hint of pain in Wang’s eyes when the Bernoulli law was mentioned. It’s as if Tian’s gaze gently asked, “What’s troubling you?” and in response, Wang’s eyes turned more vulnerable.

I think Wang’s disdain for the Bernoulli principle might be personal. Throughout his life, he’s yearned for someone to genuinely care for him, even if he’s never voiced it. He might feel that the "wind"—the force that draws people together—represents his longing for connection. Yet, when that wind dies down, he’s left isolated again, mirroring his strained relationship with his father. As a child, he was close to him, but as he grew older, the distance between them widened, as if the wind had carried him away.

So I guess Wang identifies too closely with the Bernoulli law, seeing it as a symbol of his own broken life and Tian saw right through him.

Thank you! 💖 I'm so glad you felt that way. I totally agree—no matter how many times you revisit it, the emotions stay just as intense. It’s the kind of series that keeps its impact every time.

Thank you so much! I’m really glad it resonated with you! 💖

They said they have more projects coming in 2025. Most likely the sitcom

You should start it. Honestly, I’ve been struggling to get into any BL ever since "4 Mins" dropped, but *The On1y One* has been such a pleasant surprise—it’s really pulling me in and helping me stay somewhat distracted from the agonizing wait for this show.

AND SAME, today when Bible said he *dislikes* the ending of 4 minutes and then Jes was like, “I love it,” I seriously almost had a heart attack. WHO AM I SUPPOSED TO TRUST HERE? It’s messing with my head! I’m so stressed about how it’s going to end because if it’s anything close to a sad or open ending, I honestly don’t think I can handle it. I *need* closure—like, desperately. No heartbreak, no unresolved tension, just a satisfying, wrapped-up ending, please. 🙏

Dude likes tragic gays on his screen

I just binged all five episodes, and honestly, I’m not okay. I’ve read the book before, so I thought I knew what was coming, but this show just hit different. They managed to translate everything from the original material—the slow burn, the layered emotions, all of it—into something so visually stunning and emotionally raw. I feel like my heart is both aching and rooting for these characters at the same time, and it’s tearing at me in the best way possible.

I don’t want to give away too much (no spoilers, don’t worry), but if you really get Tian’s backstory, you feel the weight of all the pain he’s been carrying around for so long, and then there’s this glimmer of light that starts breaking through. It’s honestly heart-shattering. The way this show handles his trauma and how love slowly, almost reluctantly, starts to heal him—it’s *chef’s kiss* perfection.

Episode 5? Whew, that one took me out. Starting the episode with Bernoulli’s principle? Absolute genius move. Talking about two objects colliding because of the wind sets up the whole episode in this breathtakingly poetic way. From the very first scene, you can feel this undercurrent of bittersweetness, like everything is both falling apart and coming together at the same time. The hopelessness and the hope, it’s all there, right from the start.

Sheng Wang’s sense of deep, bone-deep loneliness and Jiang Tian’s constant hesitation, that push-pull between them, it’s so powerful. All those emotions just swirling together like some kind of chaotic storm, and it’s like you can see them both trying to figure out whether to embrace it or run from it. They’re stuck in this emotional turbulence, not sure if they want to stop the wind from pushing them together, but also terrified of what happens if they don’t.

And let’s talk about *that* scene. Sheng Wang asking Jiang Tian to carry him? It absolutely wrecked me. Like, you know in that moment, it’s not really about being carried. What Sheng Wang really wanted was just...to feel close to him. To feel connected in any way possible. He wanted so much from Tian, and it’s almost like he didn’t know how to ask for it. So he wraps it in this tiny request, hoping Tian would say yes.

This show is something special. It’s not flashy, it’s not fast-paced, but it’s mesmerizing in its slowness. The burn is so gradual, but it pulls you in deeper and deeper until you’re completely lost in the little details—the stolen glances, the unspoken words, the layers of meaning behind every gesture. It’s the kind of show that consumes you, where you feel every breath, every touch, every bit of tension between them. It’s a masterpiece in its own way, and honestly, if you let yourself get wrapped up in it, you won’t be able to look away.

Don’t trust Bible—bro said he likes Spaceless' ending and probably wanted Vegas six feet under. If he’s mad about the ending, that’s a W for us. Praise be! 😭

I don't know if y'all saw, but Jes and Bible reacted to their NC scene in episode 6 (full reaction), and they were so proud of it 😭. There was zero hiding or shyness—they were watching so intently! Bible even mentioned how much he loved that scene.

It’s so slay of them because I’d be squealing if that were me!
