I have some doubts, if anyone could clear them1. How did Gene know his father was gay? This was never shown or…
This is late but, here's my take.
1. They probably knew their parents' life/history including the dad being bi. Notice how Jap wasn't shocked with the fact that their dad dated guys before, but on how disappointed he was at the way their dad handled his brother's situation. The mom's shocked expression was not because Gene knows, but more on how he used that fact to talk back against his dad. She had the same response when Jap talked back to his dad. They were disrespecting their father.
2. Where did you watch for it to be a mistranslation? Iirc, the dad said, doesn't mean he doesn't love his wife. So he does love his wife. The reason why he still remembers the past is because he was hurt/judged by others and he probably held back feelings/ran away. That's why he didn't want Gene to experience it, then later on praised Gene for not running away and told him to love all his might even if he is destined to lose that person.
3. It could be Sib's character, to lay low and wait for his contract to end. I assume that period is when the series aired, so Sib probably wanted to lay low and not cause trouble for Gene, personally and legally. When they reunited, Sib said he'd been waiting. He'd been waiting all that time for Gene to realize/accept him. I think he understood Gene's reaction considering it was his first gay relationship and for the whole country to see/judge at that, so he gave him time/space and adjusted to his pace.
4. It's not random, it's on-character with Nubsib and on brand with the theme. Sib isn't a writer, so when Gene asked for suggestions his response was not an original idea but those popular/cliché fairytale/stories in "their version". And instead of just Sib saying his suggestions out loud, the production made a visual of the scenes which are on brand since this is bl and what Gene is writing is bl. Even the breaking of the fourth wall and bubbly "The End" closing is on point.
Any intimate skinship is very much welcome, but forehead to forehead couldn't even pass censorship, not to mention the recent situation. So realistically, I'm expecting same as donghua and maybe with few seconds of slow-mo/close-up/staring.
Can anyone tell me in which chapter they get together and their first kiss!?
I saw your question again and I just wanna be clear that I only replied with the first kiss chapters because iirc, there's no actual scene of them declaring their status. Throughout the story, they had their moments, the development was natural and tacit.
About the married question, there's no wedding chapter if that's what you meant (though some consider the Ghost Bride Groom arc in a way, with bride XL, groom HC and all the red). They did become a couple at the end of the main story, but the extras are where the detailed moments are at.
The romance in this is quite fascinating depending on which pov. On XL its innocent, of friends to lovers, while on HC its intense devotion for 800 years, of worship to love.
Watched this in the cinemas and fell in love with it. It's cute and sweet, esp. the ending. Loved all the characters. The fl's innocence and naivety is so endearing. And the other characters were presented in a charming way esp. ml. One of my all time faves.
This was cute, lighthearted and very relatable. Not everyone had relationships in highschool, but almost all had crushes. The movie showed the innocence and naivety of that age in a charming way.
oh really? Finally she is promoting her drama. I think this is the first time she is doing I guess. I never seen…
I don't think its just about money/budget. The other cast already had 2 magazine shoot, yet none from the leads. The variety guesting is probably okay since its not cp focused.
Depending on your preference, you may never find a better Thai BL.. But maybe you will like HIStory series more…
Oh I don't know titles, is one of those the 3rd? Since we both like SOTUS, I'll consider those to my ptw list. It's Lovely Writer, now my fave Thai bl. It actually has some similarities to this.

I'm not saying she doesn't have chemistry with her mls nor she needs to promote the cp. I was offering a possible reason on why you think this is the first time she is promoting her drama (with her ml). Because she is avoiding rumors and ml fans.
I see you on ZLS drama pages, you know how some fans of her other mls treat her. But with Guozijian, her ml (and the rest of male cast) fans are pretty chill. Last year during filming she said she had fun and we saw that through her/Guozijian's douyin. Maybe that's why she's comfortable going on variety with XKC. I hope there's no misunderstandings here.

SOTUS is good and I prefer it than the other Thai bls in the past 3 years. But just this year, another Thai bl came out that I enjoyed and liked more than SOTUS. I haven't seen any of the HIStory series but a friend has actually rec the 3rd one.
The thing with HYX is its high profile. The promo by 10cent, brand collaborations, plus the content of the novel. So it's not surprising if it was still subjected to stricter rules even after changing the gender of one of the cast to appease the censorship. On the other hand, SHL was handled by yk/production quite well. It's been my basis on what can/can't pass censorship, but now with the new rules, we'll have to see how HYX turns out. Though I think other low profile bls might get released first.
TGCF is also popular but its content is different. And knowing JXGZ's director, its gonna be tame. As long as none of the cast/production mess up, then it'll depend on how iqiyi handles it. And ofc the rules, it could calm down after some time or it could get even stricter.

Excited for QSTX to air, and watch them seethe.
Anyways, for now let's enjoy Guozijian (and HC).
The variety guesting is probably okay since its not cp focused.
With what happened yesterday, she probably will.
And you're welcome~
It seems the September date is true.
Sangqi is coming~
He got what he wanted.
