🏕️ Anyone else camping out until July 10th? 😭

I can use it as a good term, too. It's slang. It has more than one meaning. At least I'm glad I clarified my meaning for you.

Role playing, cigarette drags per second, the younger man wanting to jump his bones. It was a little horny, maybe rewatch. This cutesy drama pales in contrast, I don't expect more than a kiss, but I like cutesy stuff equally.

Yo, the height difference is no joke. When we say height difference this is what we mean 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Old Fashion Cupcake vibes, but less slutty, more wholesome. Seems promising, very simple.

HOW did he restrain himself when Konno started to undress?! I thought he would've needed to be chained down 😂

Konno is a tad underwritten as the object of affection, but the actor plays it off as mysterious. However, the next episode promises his POV. 🤞🏻

I'm kind of glad, I want to get the hell out of these high school settings already. Plus, it offers a chance to see their skills level up to professionals.

Oh shit, we're getting a time jump, boys. Buckle in.

Hmm. I think I'll wait until the series is finished to continue watching. Was not impressed with episode one. It came across as an unintentional parody. 🌈

Chi Cheng squeezing that stress toy comparing it to Wu Qi's face 💀💀💀 I thought this episode was great. The plot is moving along now and they are finally developing a deeper level of intimacy. Wu Qi was definitely JOing to Chi Cheng. Yeah buddy, your "acting" is great 🙄 🤣

The texts were from Wu Qi. I believe he explains what he sent in the playground scene with his shifu, Dr. Shuai. Subtitles said he was texting Chi cheng's mom about how he is gay and that she basically can't change his sexuality. It was a tactic to goad her into arranging the "business trip" so Yue Yue would grow to hate Chi Cheng's pet snake. Wu Qi's texts to Yue Yue were basically telling her that her in-laws will never accept her, personal attacks. Sorry for no direct translation, I don't speak/read the language.

Yes, it is repetitive, that is a fair criticism. To me, he is a least trying to propel the relationship, so without it we'd really be going no where.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 He wants to give him an expensive addiction, classic pimp daddy move.

It does not end, it's a main plot thread that ties into everything thing else. Episode 5 and 6, more romance starts, but it's a continual cat-and-mouse game.

Stoooooop. Every time Yue Yue's song started to happen and repeat 💀😂 The ending felt abrupt this time around, but I appreciate his shifu pointing out how his love rival has changed. Then Wu Qi buying a proper gift, a nice little touch to close out the episode. Something I keep wondering is Shuai, he says "what's wrong with me" even though he is open, and wouldn't be gay panicking at this stage, he doesn't have any lies like Wu Qi's to deter romance either. Maybe there is something I am missing or it hasn't be explored yet.

This would be a crazy one to start with, but might as well take the jump. That's how the rest of us started, anyway. Just note, BL is highly fantasized, more than your average romance.

Yeah, I mean look at the MDL score. No other countries get the same support (especially JBL). Don't under estimate China. If that censorship ever gets lifted, its gangbusters.

bald kings slayyy 💅🏼

WHAT

I wrote a whole dissertation in another comment of why I don't think the show is 100% romanticizing this moment. To me this kiss comes off as a toxic trait Hayakawa is still processing. Konno can't fix years of repression and an emotional disorder with one rooftop speech. This kiss shows Hayakawa still has issues to sort out for the rest of the show. Otherwise, they would've romanticized the aggressive bedroom scene at the episode's start, too—but they didn't. Konno's behaviors are also sketchy, like spying on someone having sex and forcing Haya to divulge sensitive, private information. All these "sexy, romantic" moments have a subversive underlying element to them.

Also yeah, they set up the previous scene to make you believe he is actually sleeping this time around too, at least that's my guess. It just feels too convenient to believe. Either way, its a stupid BL trope.
