A Winter Sun Wakes the Wind in Spring Hills' Dream Episode 8

i don't think that moron of a brother…

i don't think that moron of a brother is kidding. he young & stupid enough to try & put an end to his life if his bf dies. which also indicates how young & naïve = inexperienced he is. personally this doesn't warm me up to him, i can feel compassion for the situation he found himself in & it for sure isn't fair how his bf's parents r treating him or how he is allowing it cause of guilt. but given how he keeps giving out personal info about his brother(to Wenshu) idk i just don't like it or him. i got a thing about loyalty & privacy & i wouldn't be dishing about info about a family member to a stranger, for sure not keeping them updated on my siblings every move - that just comes off f*cked-up to me. so yeah when the siblings of the mains r together i just skip the scenes cause i aint interested in either. **********************************************************************************************but liked how Wenshu put his father in his place & maybe that's why he is ready to meet Qing Lang, as Chang Yang is ready to introduce his significant other to his parents (or so i am sure his mother made it seem) even though given how the father spoke about gay people the meeting might not go well - time will tell - what i know is the only reason i keep coming back is the mains - they so good together, it's like the scene comes alive when they r around each other & i can't stop smiling. i really hope they get a happy ending together - the fact Qing Lang's mother & grandmother welcomed Chang Yang like he family gives me hope.

The forces of love

Episode 8 begins to show more of our leads’ character. Changyang’s two-year obsession for Qianlang, his focus in planning their eventual relationship.

The reality of Chinese culture where being gay is not generally accepted by society and parents’ expectations from their children to marry and to bear children. Because it’s a society that averages 1 child per family the pressure is steep to keep the lineage going. Other societies may not have this intense pressure but this is China. And not addressing this matter in this series would just have made this a Cinderella story.
