Shen Wenlang hurt my brain
Okay so this show actually exceeded my expectations. but my expectations were also below ground so do what you will with that information. Hua Yong as a character was so interesting because he was sooooo manipulative and it was SO overlooked. I will never forget that scene where he went away for his rut and came back crying to SSY about being "used." LIKE WTF. I feel like half of his lies were just unnecessary. He didn't need to pretend that he was s.a at all. With that being said, as a couple they worked I guess. Clearly SSY did not want to be saved, he was smiling all the time even after finding out the truth. I was so surprised because this man did not seem mad at the pregnancy at all. He just kinda took it like a champ. Clearly, that's his man and he's gonna stand beside him.I don't deny that we had some cute and funny moments with the couple, but i can't ignore how deceptive Hua Yong was. I think that's the point though. That side of him is what makes the show more "interesting." His obsession is funny and concerning. Also, his protectiveness over SSY was very fun to watch at times.
Now, Gao Tu and Shen Wenlang.....
For the sake of time I'm going to keep this short (but trust I have a LOT to say). By the end of the show, I was not rooting for them. Tbh I stopped rooting for them a long time ago. SWL has so many issues, I cannot understand what Gao Tu sees in him. He is so disrespectful, clearly never thinks before talking (or just thinks in general), and is just not worth the pining. Like why would you want your man to be SWL out of all the fish in the sea. SWL's sole purpose in life must be to the say the most outrageous things to Gao Tu at all times. He is strapped with insults.
Even though I hate the idea of him being a love interest, I love him as a character. He was lowkey the comedic relief during the show. I loved his moments with HY. Their friendships is the cutest thing. They love hate each other. Just like I love hate SWL.
Finally, GT. Please invest in some therapy. I was sitting watching the show thinking GT and SWL need to be single. Like they both have so much to work on. And maybe. JUST MAYBE. after some intense therapy sessions they can consider a relationship. Gao Tu seriously deserved better, but he also just need to stand up for himself. Like I was gripping my laptop yelling "stand up" during that conversation with SWL and his dad.
Anywho, I think it was worth checking out at least once. I was hesitant to watch an omegaverse bl (like who's idea was it to bring this to the big screens) but I liked it more than I thought. Even though the show wasn't the most amazing thing I've seen, it had its good parts.
