You definitely are. See how you gracefully left your lover for his own good, Lu Feng should take notes from you!

People are calling Little Jane a red flag. Come on, how does that even make sense? Big Jane sexually assaulted him multiple times, almost raped him, spies on everywhere he goes, doesn't allow him out of his sight even for a single moment, literally made a blood contract with him, acts aggressively, gets angry whenever things don't go his way, forces him to live with him and conveniently hides things from him. Plus keeps telling him that he's never gonna let him go at any cost. Now imagine yourself in Little Jane's shoes. You're with a person like this, and then your friend who had been warning you about him suddenly dies. On top of that, all the clues and circumstances point toward your boyfriend. How would you possibly react in that situation? Think for yourself before blaming the victim. We all can sympathize with Big Jane without victim blaming Little Jane.

That is a diabolical way of leaving us hanging after the heartbreaking ending omg how are we supposed to survive the pain until the next episode 😭

Big Jane getting blamed by Little Jane for things he wasn't at fault for reminded me of Lu Feng also getting blamed by Yi Chen both becoming a turning point in their respective relationships.

WHY IS THERE NO PREVIEW FOR THE NEXT EPISODE ?! 😭

Makes sense. By any chance, did you not watch the first trailer? Because it showed exactly everything that was about to come.

I mean, the tags are literally - Obsessive Male Lead and Abusive Male Lead 😅

There are no zombies but yes it does give zombie vibes.

I disagree. No piece of artistic media can be objectively good or bad. Even with the worst works, someone can find reasons why they're good because they make sense to them. Similarly, even with the best works, someone can find reasons why they're bad because they don't make sense to them.

Maybe because I've read and watched plenty of other yaoi manga, manhwa, manhua, and BL shows with absolute doormat bottoms, I didn't find Yi Chen that weak. The best example of an insufferably weak, doormat bottom in my opinion is Lu Xiao Fan from Bittersweet Love, I had to drop it. Yi Chen did at least make some attempts to stand up to both Lu Feng and his family, although he was unsuccessful. Shu Lang, however, is in an entirely different league. There are rarely any power bottoms written as well as him. Yi Chen isn't as strong as Shu Lang, but he also isn't that weak, in my opinion.

Subtle romance. Lots of yearning. Few hugs. No kisses.

I mean FX also forced YSL to live with him and there was SA involved, in a lesser degree than what Lu Feng did to Yi Chen but still. Anytime forced captivity and SA are involved, you can't come back from it, it's irredeemable in my eyes. But if YSL and Yi Chen chose to go back to their respective partners even after all this, then who are we to judge

I think the main reason is that YSL is such a well-written character. He is wise and has such a strong personality. He isn't just a tool, he thinks for himself. He knows how to stand up for himself. There are plenty of well-written red and black flag main characters, but there are rarely any powerful main leads like YSL. He isn't just a victim of his oppressor. He stands up for himself and makes the other party suffer. Every single one of his decisions is so interesting to witness as he goes through the entire cycle of falling in love, getting manipulated, experiencing abuse and toxicity, and then finding his way out of it.

If it's well written or not is subjective. My opinion can differ from yours, and vice versa. But most of the hate for the show comes from the fact that, for some reason, people went into it expecting a soft, fluffy romance and then started getting offended when the toxicity and darkness kicked in. That's what I've gathered after reading most people's comments and replies across various social media platforms. I've also come across a lot of constructive criticism points and they were valid, I agree with them but that's not the majority of people who dislike the show. The fact that people were expecting a soft romance from a show that has been marketed as a very dark and toxic romance since the very first trailer is what I find frustrating.

Please don't mention the name of the website publicly, please send a personal message instead

The fact that 95% of the scenes from the trailer were already covered in the first five episodes and there's still so much to uncover makes me so excited

Park Siwoo is gorgeous irl but the hairstyle in the show does not do him justice 😭

Her character is so pretty, so wise and so strong. The actress played her part very well.

I usually find romantic shows very boring but the chemistry between Gu Cheon and Princess Saeng Gang was amazing. The gradual development of their relationship was very beautiful to witness as an audience. Subtle romance as a subplot in a show focused on a larger plot is what I really love and this show executed it beautifully.

Same here :)
