SOLJIWAN IS ALIVE!!

Moving slowly but very steady... Amazing how the gays just keep winning

I can't explain it but Pitch and Bank's dynamic really be hitting different

Best line of the finale goes to Xiao Qian with "Too much information" after they see Shi Lei and Yu Zhen kissing lol

Wow, really? I haven't even watched that many BL's but I've definitely seen worse. BLIH certainly didn't inspire me to change any of my life views but I still found it sweet.

Very happy.

@jarabaa I agree with everything you said, especially the part about the weirdly empty coffee shop lol. I think people have every right to be disappointed, I sure have been many times before. But I didn't want the feed to drown in only negativity.

@jpny01 In the example you used I literally said "I think". You, on the other hand, speak on behalf of everyone with phrases like "Everyone's favorite part is". That's the difference. You even take the time to explain to me what it means to be in a relationship when my entire point was that they AREN'T but they are still kind of behaving like they are. Happy not to be your partner when your definition of being in a relationship is simply "making out and having sex". If you found my pov interesting, why not mention that in the first place? You don't invite to discussion but maybe that's not what you wanted either. I find it funny how you end it with "next time I won't bother"... I'm sorry you won't take the energy to write me an extremely negative response again criticizing my opinion when I didn't ask for it. What a loss.

I think it might just be an "extra" episode with interviews or bts stuff. Don't want people to get their hopes up. But it would be awesome if true!

@jpny01 I hate these kind of comments. You make it sound like your opinion is a fact and that you need to explain it to me... why? I was simply expressing a less negative point of view that you very clearly don't agree with. That's fair. But I find your comment kind of unnessesary and condescending even if that was not your intention. I expressed my understanding that other people are disappointed and your comment didn't contribute anything I didn't already know from 100 other comments.

I'm sorry that so many people are disappointed with this series. While I agree it went downhill after episode 9, I'm still enjoying it a lot. The longer the wait, the more satisfying it will be when they finally get together (unless they manage to really screw that part up somehow).

Also, as for what a lot of people are complaining about - I think what we have seen so far or at least for a long time now literally IS them being in a relationship. They just didn't put a label on it or make it official even to themselves yet. They literally spend all day together at work, then go home together. Care for each other when they're sick, buy each other's favourite beverages, etc. They end up cuddling each other every night for god's sake. What I'm trying to say is that what we've seen probably isn't so different from what they would be like as a couple. So I don't share the same frustration as everyone else even though I understand it. Obviously I'd like the show to go on and see their relationship develop. But my personal favourite part of a story is the getting together... The pining, the misunderstandings, the jealousy, the learning to communicate, feelings growing, etc. Often I find it more boring once the relationship is super established but that's probably just me. Anyway, I guess I'm really the target audience for a show like this lol.

@aprilnwright If we're lucky the final episode will be really long, like an hour. Manifesting it now!

@aprilnwright I can send you the link if you want.

Based on some scenes we're still missing (like a flashback of Yu Zhen and his ex) and some scenes from the preview for episode 12 I think, sadly, they won't get together until the very end. But I hope I'm wrong. I'm comforted by the fact that we've already seen a lot of the things they would do as boyfriends. I mean, I've never seen someone who isn't dating acting THAT much like they're dating... So in that way I don't think we're missing out on too much. But yeah, I understand your frustration.

Soooo I watched episode 11. Please don't read any further if you don't want to be spoiled.

Am writing this in case anyone wants to adjust their expectations before watching:

Shi Lei and Yu Zhen have like... 2 short scenes alone together lol. And one of them is the one that was already released as a preview. So yeah they're still not on speaking terms by the end of the episode.

THAT being said, I don't think the episode is horrible. Being as vague as possible... Sure, the ex takes up too much time in the spotlight but that was sort of to be expected. One thing I like is that there's never any doubt about Yu Zhen's feelings for Shi Lei. The ex is annoying but he's not a real threat. The real threat is their lack of communication... which I think will probably be resolved in one of the last scenes of the final episode... Oh well. It will still be nice to see.

That new spoiler pic on insta... So even at the picnic they can't be free of the ex. I kind of suspected that scene would take place after the reconciliation but guess I was wrong. I gotta say I'm a little pressed by the prospect of the ex possibly taking up way too much time in the next episode... Personally I have no issues with the pacing, it actually can't get slow enough for me lol. It's all about the pining. And I can even accept a good old antagonist - but just don't drag that part out too long, I'm begging.

FYI, Aaron making fun of the fact that Yu Zhen and Shi Lei didn't get together yet on his instagram stories is lifting my spirits quite a lot.

I didn't think it was possible for them to communicate even less than before. I was wrong..

@Song-yi Omg thanks for this. I will try to keep my expectations down even if it's difficult. Yeah the way I interpret their interactions is that there's no way they don't like each other as more than friends... But then again I've been disappointed in the past when it turned out to be either just a friendship or a story about one-sided love where the friend goes on a "journey" to accept the other one's feelings and remain friends. which is.... not what I would like to see.

The chemistry between Sol and Ji Wan is off the charts, I really hope they become a thing. Does anyone have any info if that's the direction we're going?

They definitely went overboard with sounds and even the music sometimes. Maybe I just imagined it had gotten better or maybe it's because I'm more into the show now than in the beginning so I simply don't notice it as much.

Right? I was cringing so hard in the first couple of episodes that I nearly dropped the show because of the sound effects alone. But I do feel like it's gotten a lot better in the latter part though..
