A Love So Sweet It Hurts to Watch

Can we pause for a moment and appreciate how incredibly sweet episode six was. It felt like watching two people quietly slip into love without even realising it was happening.FanXiao waited for ShuLang to finish work and pick him up. They held hands as they walked down the street, looking like a couple who had already chosen each other long before either of them said the words. There was something so gentle and tender in the way they moved together.During the painting session, FanXiao admitted he might lose everything. The fear in his voice was so raw. But ShuLang looked at him and said that he would not lose everything because he would still have him. He promised that if that day ever came, he would look after him. The way he said it felt like a vow. If that is not love then what is.FanXiao changed the house lock, replaced all the photos with their couple photos and stepped into the kitchen to cook. He did everything that someone does when they quietly start imagining a future. They were already living like a real couple and it was beautiful.When FanXiao accidentally spilled oil on himself, ShuLang immediately rushed over, kissed his hand gently and whispered that he had missed him. Their soft kitchen kiss after that felt so full of warmth. FanXiao saying he wanted to eat him first made the whole scene even sweeter.At the dining table, while holding hands, ShuLang called FanXiao babe and told him not to be jealous. It was so intimate and natural that all I could think was that they should just get married already.Then came the scene that completely broke me. ShuLang took FanXiao to his mother’s grave and said he had finally found the one. Man or woman it did not matter because he had found his soulmate, someone who treated him well and made him feel cherished. FanXiao stood there frozen, nervous and shaken, because at the beginning his intentions were never serious. He only wanted to play around without realising how deeply ShuLang loved him. Watching ShuLang shed tears in front of his mother’s grave because of him was heartbreaking. That moment alone felt like the emotional centre of the entire story.I keep hoping the plot will truly reflect the line that says FanXiao tries to entice ShuLang into a relationship only to fall for him for real. Because that is exactly what it feels like right now. And just like in Revenged Love, if ShuLang ever learns the truth, I know they will be torn apart for a while. But they love each other too deeply to stay separated. They would always find their way back because life without each other would be unbearable.

Fan Xiao is freakin obsessed with possessing…

Fan Xiao is freakin obsessed with possessing Shu Lang, he wants to put him in a cage & not allow anyone else access to him. yet he also thinks he wants to use & then toss him aside(?) when he is done with him?!?? but the next sec he is concerned - non stop mentioning Shu Lang's ex & comparing himself to him?!?? when Zhen is long gone - a thing of the past, but he wont stop mentioning him. dude is certifiable.... ************************************************************************************************idk how his mind works & what he is thinking. does he really want a future with Shu Lang? or was that just a "story" he sold cause he wanted Shu Lang to fall for him & now that he has, what now?!? **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************on Shu Lang's part, i really love this character. he is so pure & good, but not fantastically so... he is very "normal" but in a good way (especially in comparison to Fan Xiao, the sociopath). also he doesn't play games, u can see how he feels cause he doesn't gaslight & he has fallen hard for Fan Xiao - which is so worrying to me, given how shady Fan Xiao is. not only that he might suddenly drop/treat him like he did Zhen. but the truth about how Fan Xiao was playing with Shu Lang's life from the sec they met, will come top light... i can only guess how devastated Shu Lang will be. *******************************************************he has had such a tough, solitary life (am sure even after the adoption he worked hard all alone to support his new family & kept the bullying to himself cause he didn't want to burned his mother), now that he thinks he has found a safe haven - it turning into sh*t might really break him. now that would be sad. ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: the brother & the bullies r at fault for the mother's death. btw i didn't get the logic - Shu Lang was outted & they tried to bully him. he graduated, but the bullies didn't?!? what?!?? & the mother should know better them to confront kids, go to the principle or the teacher. confronting other people's children no matter their age, is a stupid move IMO. *******************either way Shu Lang's not at fault & his brother is blaming him, cause he doesn't want to face the fact that he was a coward that lacked the strength (his gay brother had) to stand-up for himself & he ended up putting his mother in that situation. me in Shu Lang's stead, would tell him to kick rocks after 1st time. promise to dead mother be damned - sorry not sorry!

whoever made sure they were dripped in sweat for that flash+back needs all their bills paid

i think I've been puttig off the final episode for damn near a year now but wow. this is the premium homochow I've been missing in my catatonic self+isolation period. this is boys' love acting excellence i don't give af what you have to say about that. but yeah i selected this one after reading the synopsises to rejog my memory & i love jealousy i think. i still do not like how the new female host is being leered at in every scene & conversation & especially the focus on her body. the drunk confrontation is the messiest part of this episode which is to be expected ; it was so awkward watching segasaki pick up the pages & yoh flop down on the floor but that's kind've my only gripe here. i honestly did like everything else. genuinely these two have a lot of good small movements that sell the characters to me. mashiko atsuki you are an elite uke performer. higuchi kouhei you are sexy & you know how to be sexy.

Making plans

Yan Tuo has been discovered thanks to Xing Shen. There is purpose in all the meeting location testing. He wants his rival for Mad Knife’s attention taken care of. I think he wants it dealt with permanently. He has no reason to mistrust his partner’s judgment to this degree, except that she no longer holds his in highest regard. The poor doc friend just can’t stay out of trouble no matter how hard he tries. He gets roped in from both sides and he is always the man in the middle. Xing Shen and Ma are exploring long forgotten texts and he is keeping it secret from the group. They are learning things long forgotten about both hunters and the fiends. It seems the created species can absorb characteristics of what it consumes and is most active when there is no moon. I am enjoying this drama. It has an ‘Invasion of the Body Snatcher’s vibe’ — alien lifeform hiding as humans. The meteorite created a new species and it is not clear if they want to simply co exist or more now that they have developed into greater beings and not just predators. The south mountain hunting group isn’t trying to negotiate, they want them wiped out. Yan Tuo is another caught in the middle. He wants to know what happened to his sister and he thinks Lin XiRou is responsible.

An Emotional Second Chance at Love with Kids at the Heart

Wow what an emotional and beautifully crafted start. Reloved takes the familiar ex-to-lovers trope, but somehow makes it feel deeper, heavier and far more heartfelt than usual. The moment the kids appeared, everything shifted. There is something so healing about seeing two broken hearts forced back into each other’s orbit because their niece and nephew go to the same school. Nene and Marvin completely stole my heart they’re adorable, warm and full of innocence, and they add a softness that makes every scene with Than and Akin hurt just a little more.From the first episode, you can feel the pain between them. Than looks like he is barely holding himself together, stuck in a love he never truly let go of. Akin clearly left for a reason, and I’m already bracing myself for whatever heartbreaking truth caused their split. Their quiet glances, their hesitation, even their bitterness… it all feels so real.Peter and Golf surprised me so much in this series. Their acting carries both the sadness of the past and the exhaustion of the present with such maturity. The flashbacks to their university days were beautiful and nostalgic, almost too warm compared to their current distance, which makes it even more painful. And let’s be honest that NC scene in the first ten minutes was incredibly real, raw and intimate. The safe-sex detail with the condoms was such a thoughtful touch, clearly placed for awareness rather than product promotion.The music hits at all the right emotional points, the cinematography has that warm yet melancholic glow, and the entire setup of two men raising kids while facing old wounds feels refreshing for a Thai BL. It’s mature, heartfelt and already so addictive. I also absolutely love the title Reloved — a perfect metaphor for two people trying to figure out if love can be rebuilt from ruins.If episode one already hurt this much, I can only imagine what’s coming. This is going to be one emotional journey, and I’m definitely here for it.

A Friendship That Feels Like Forever

Wow, the four boys only met four months ago, yet their bond feels like a friendship built over years. Genuine connections like this are so rare, and watching them together feels so real.I love the flashback showing how Watarai started liking Hioki, how everything quietly began. It wasn’t just some random crush. Being popular isn’t always a blessing, and it was Hioki’s small gestures and simple words that pulled Watarai in. After watching episode seven, everything makes sense and connects beautifully back to episode one.Only three episodes left. I’m already feeling sad. I’m really going to miss this show. It’s become my little Sunday comfort, something I look forward to every week.
