That's so much words without actually answering my question.

You suggest that Gu family should have raise private army and have a face-off with Commissioner instead of escaping. If they did that, it would basically be rebelling. The commissioner is still the legitimate head of the civilian government of the Province, recognized by the Emperor and Imperial Court. Why would the Gu family, that refused to support Prince Liang and Jiang He in their plan to usurp the throne, end up rebelling against commissioner of their province?

So, your argument is that they give the Commissioner the exact type of evidence they are looking for? If they wanted to raise a private army and have a stand-off with Commissioner, they might as well join Prince Liang and Jiang He in their coup against the Emperor.

Oh, yes. You are correct. It's half-brothers. Then, I actually don't have any problem with step-brothers, but half-brothers are weird.

They are stepbrothers by marriage not blood. Personally, I find it off-putting if the step-brothers are related by blood, that is, if both of them share one common parent.

That is Su Yu's mom married Wu Bi's dad, making her stepmom for Wu Bi, but Wu Bi doesn't even recognise her as step mom. Because Su Yu's mom had an affair with Wu Bi's dad when Wu Bi's mom was still alive.

THIS

Dou Dou: Gege, why hasn't Wu Bi gege been coming lately?
Su Ye: He got lost. He can't find his way home.

After few scenes (in Ep 8)

Wu Bi: You came alone?
Dou Dou: Yes
Wu Bi: Your hands are so cold. Su Ye gege didn't come to school today.
Dou Dou: I am not here to find him. I am here to find you
Wu Bi: Find me?
Dou Dou: Lat time I asked Su Yu gege, why didn't you come to see us during this period? He said you got lost and couldn't find your way home. Last time you sent me home, now, it's my turn to send you home.
Wu Bi: I don't have a home anymore.
Dou Dou: How can that be? My home is your home. This is a scarf my mom knitted for you.

I keep watching this scene again and again, and it makes me cry everytime.

I like the fact they did.

Wu Bi is so gentle with Su Yu when compared to Gu Hai with Bai Luo Yin. After all, they changed the name from "Addicted" to "Stay With Me."

James Baldwin: “We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”

I cannot think of a better words that captures the idea people have unrestricted right to opinions.

I believed in that strongly, as someone who experienced political party use fear and hatred against my identity to gain vote and power, I strongly opposed [past tense] islamaphobia, and called it out whenever I saw people in my own circle propagate hatred against Muslims and Arabs. But then, I saw muslims protesting and harassing School teachers in Birmingham, UK for teaching children, "some children have a mom and dad, some have two moms, some have two dads, and that's okay." Most recently, the first Muslim majority city government in US, Government of City of Hamtramck passed a ban on Pride Flag. Makes us wonder if solidarity that LGBTQ people and liberals extended to Muslims and Arabs, was worth it?

My initial comment, "to be honest gays and queer people, not all of us, I mean vote for anti-Muslim and anti-immigration parties for safety reasons" copied @Architectofnonsence's now-deleted comment, word-by-word with interchanging the location of groups and replacing "for religious reasons" with "for safety reasons." When people like him tell me that their religion requires them to deny our existence, it reminds me of Paradox of Tolerance by Karl Popper. I would rather be an islamaphobic gay man, than a dead gay man.

wow... they changed how Su Yu & Wu Bi discover they are stepbrothers, and I like this version...

Nooooo! He is back, and he is gonna pretend to be Wu Bi's dad to his real dad....

Please tell me he doesn't come back...

please make it stop

I am not prepared for the hire-a-dad scene

lol, I have never seen a curse come real so soon...

Uncle Mark rides bike backward with his roommate....

Well, so they are going to follow with sending the gangs after the son who eloped with stepson, story line. Because, I swear, the drama becomes ridiculous when high school kids go off the gird, and face off the gangs

I swear. when the Addicted Heroin ended abruptly, I wanted closure and I read the novel. Big mistake. I wish I hadn't. It made me glad that they ended Addicted Heroin, where they did.

Haven't you ever come across someone who remembers you well, but you barely remember them? I remember a guy who got in touch with me after few years, he was so excited that we were able to reconnect. I barely remembered him, just that we talked at some point. But, apparently, I had inspired him to come out as gay, and inspired him to change his degree from the one his parents selected for him to one he wanted to study. I left a lasting impression on him, because, for him, I was the first person he met, who was in his own age, who had come to terms with fact we were gay, and didn't plan on living my entire life satisfying my parents. For me, he was just another person, who was struggling with the fact he was gay.

Haven't you ever been in the opposite scenario where someone had a huge impact on you, but they barely remember you? On the flip side, I remember my first crush, we met for coffee like three times and he had suddenly moved out of town. It took me so long to get over him that I was single for a really long time after him. He didn't remember me when I reconnected with him. In fact, when I came across his profile in dating site and messaged him, he thought he was talking to someone for the first time. He left a lasting impression on me, because it was the first time I went on a date with someone, to a cafe, and the guy wasn't trying to pretend we were two straight friends. He didn't care if anyone noticed it or not. We had a proper date. For him, it was just another date. But for me, it was the first time, I felt like I was being myself during a date.

It is quite common, that's how memory works.
