I love the actors but the show is... idk. Please recast them in a better show, I beg ?
1.) This series started off SOOO good. I caught myself smiling as if I was in the series when I watched the first episode, but it went downhill and I don't know how to feel. I kept hating Lu Feng, then he'd do something sweet and I'd like him then remember what all he did. I'm soo happy Lu Feng got help in the end, they deserve to have a happy ending but I just wish some things in this show didn't happen :/ I had to skip over a couple scenes cuz it was too uncomfortable to watch.2.) Fuck Xiao Chen's and Lu Feng's Parents tho I can truly never understand why parents decide to treat their kids like underwear with a wet skid mark just because they like the same gender, glad they died fuck them.
3.) I want to add it was very clear Lu Feng had issues from the 2nd ep, I was really hoping he'd get help from ep. 2 to the end and I'm seriously glad he did. Xiao Chen was also clearly blinded by love as if I was in his shoes I would've left the second he tried to guilt trip me in to having sex.
Anyway actors were amazing and I would love to see them in a show with a sweeter plot! Please and Thank Yewww

From Cute Green Flag to Toxic Black Flag The Best BL of 2026!
I was completely hooked from the very first episode. After watching more than 500+ BLs, I can honestly say this is one of the best I’ve ever seen. It grabbed me so deeply that I ended up rewatching it three times in a row because every scene pulled me in even more and left me wanting more. So rarely do I ever set alarms for dramas, but I was putting my alarm on for 10 PM every Friday and Saturday just to catch the new episodes the moment they came out. Then during the week, I would rewatch them all over again. That’s how addicted I became to this series. One of the best remakes ever made.Chinese BLs really know how to create emotional and addictive stories without making everything feel overly cheesy. What made Yichen and Lufeng stand out to me immediately was that their relationship was not the typical soft and natural romance you see all the time. At the beginning, their relationship felt obsessive, possessive, intense, and emotionally consuming, and honestly that is exactly what made it so addictive to watch. Every interaction between them carried tension and strong emotions, making their connection feel impossible to ignore.
The flashbacks showing how they first met were done beautifully and made their bond feel even deeper over time. Their chemistry is incredible and every scene together feels charged with emotion. The acting is amazing too. Yichen is soft, innocent, and emotional while Lufeng is obsessive, possessive, protective, controlling, and confident. Both actors completely brought their characters to life.
What makes this story stand out is how emotional and heartfelt it feels underneath all the intensity. From high school classmates to lovers separated by family expectations and distance, every part of their journey feels painful yet beautiful. Knowing Lufeng was forced to stay overseas for years while Yichen tried to continue his life made every reunion scene even more emotional.
I cried during the ring exchange scene in episode 2 because it felt so genuine and emotional. Yichen being the first to say “I love you” even though he fell later made the moment even more powerful. When he cried, I cried too because the emotions felt so real through the screen.
Another heartbreaking scene was when Yichen begged his brother for a chance to see Lufeng again while, at the same time, Lufeng kept writing letters and trying everything possible to reunite with him. Even after years apart, their feelings for each other never changed, and you can truly feel how deep their connection is.
What I love most is that this drama is not only about romance. It is also about timing, sacrifice, family pressure, fate, and fighting for the person you truly love. Every episode balances tenderness, obsession, heartbreak, and longing perfectly, making it impossible to stop watching.
This show truly has everything: an amazing plot, emotional storytelling, strong chemistry, beautiful cinematography, and great music. Every episode feels memorable and meaningful.
Ayden is an incredible actor!
Some dramas fade from memory after a while, but this feels like the kind of story that will stay with me for a long time and always be worth rewatching.
Honestly, this is the best BL dramas of 2026 for me and definitely a masterpiece.

why r yall constantly defending lu feng when he’s a textbook narcissist
If I read one more comment about how the little brother is annoying and how he’s destroyed his brothers relationship I’m gonna lose it. I’d like to gently remind everyone that lu feng as opposed to yu chen is older and *should* be emotionally and mentally more mature but instead chooses to act like a 4 year old whenever a conflict occurs. Not only is he lacking any empathy or critical thinking skills but also he likes do mistreat and deliberately hurt the person he claims to love. It’s come to a point where his behaviour is so utterly pathetic that I dislike his character even more then all of the homophobic parents together. And let me tell you I’ve watched a few dramas and I have never felt that way before. I’ve never even written a review before but my hate for this fictional man has reached a point where I’m gonna implode if I don’t write it down. That being said I don’t condemn people that enjoy the drama, like or defend lu feng (or only just a little bit). I understand that red and black flag characters can be fun to watch. BUT I need the people to lose the „I can fix him“ or the „He’s just misunderstood“ mentality regarding really problematic, toxic men. Not only because of the whole misogyny and patriarchy thingy but also just because I find it really annoying. Thank you and good night.Was this review helpful to you?

Ok, this is trigerring, very triggering and gets really dark....but damn good despite all that!!!!
Be prepared to be very angry, livid, in fact, fuming and cursing a lot.....but don't you dare miss this!! Great story, acting, script...and wait till episode 5-6, when things get really good. I mean bad...really BAD and gets you hooked!!As the story progressed, with each episode this just gets better and better....but if you have been through homophobia, family opposition and blatant arm-twisting by parents and family, be warned that this will trigger you...BIG TIME.....the bottom line is -these parents, they needed to have died much earlier....BEFORE they ruined everyone's life...and queer people need to find their spine and STOP ruining their own and other people's lives just so that they can be the 'good child' to their monstrous parents, and play the victim of being the martyr. Ok, rant done, this is good...damn good...don't miss it
BL-needle Score: 6. It has a lot of men loving men, but not really BL-ishq, if you know what I mean
Started out uber cute, the ML looking super handsome, doting on the MC, and bordering on obsessive-possessive.. the super red-flag-ey, won't listen to no -kind ...just when they find each other, their love story quickly veers towards a complete mess and heartbreak, with families, money, reputation and homophobia ruining everything....separating them, across oceans, and timelines...and just when you think the bish parents, and entitled, opportunistic, younger bro can't be any worse...SURPRISE....the protagonist himself sabotages everything by walking away, getting married and completely blindsiding the one person who loved him against everything, and through everything.
At Episode 8 right now when things have just started to turn good, the wronged lover is finally seeming to have his time...though I get a feeling that Lu Feng will eventually melt and succumb to this undying love for Cheng Yi...I wish he takes till the very last moment to do so though...because if I was Lu Feng, I would rub it in harder...much harder
Ep 9 DAMN!!! This has gone absolutely pitch dark now.....beyond toxic....the devil in Lu Feng is unleashed...all that anger, jealousy, repression, sense of betrayal, has made him into another person altogether :(
There was a movie on the same book in 2016, which has rave reviews. While I haven't watched that one, I am definitely glued on with this show. As I already said, Damn Good!!
What are you waiting for...Go Watch!!

Rape can't be excused
Sorry not sorry, but I'm sick and tired of bls that allow rapists to have a happy ending. Having that in the big 2026 is embarrassing. No matter how good the acting or cinematography is, they allowed his actions to be excused because he is sick in the head. And I can already hear people say that's it's just fiction. But life imitates art. Seeing the way people excused the rape by saying the victim deserved it since he didn't fight hard enough for their love is evidence enough that films have consequences on the perception of reality that people have.Was this review helpful to you?

A Love Story that forgot to show the Love
I honestly didn’t find this to be a love story so much as a character study of Lu Feng’s deteriorating mental health. I felt absolutely no romance from any of the couples because we never actually got the journey of them falling in love—they were already sooooo in love and I was just left thinking, “why?”The first thing that gave me serious ick was the main CP’s first time in ep 2 😣 Yichen was clearly scared and needed comfort, but Lu Feng took the whole thing in jest and forced himself on him (while crazy romantic music played, ugh). Even afterwards, when Yichen was shown to be distraught, Lu Feng made it all about himself, and since then I genuinely couldn’t understand why Yichen even remotely likes him.
So the show felt more like a case study of someone mentally unwell who harmed not only himself but everyone around him. The bipolar reveal also wasn’t handled well because it almost makes it seem like all bipolar people are like this, which isnt true :( I do appreciate that they at least acknowledged that something is wrong with him and that it needs attention.
The one time I felt emotional was in the last episode, when Lu Feng listens to the iPod and is reminded of who he used to be. That whole idea of coming home to yourself was actually kinda moving.
Other than that, the characters lacked depth and their reasoning was never really explored, which made it hard to connect with them. The actors did well with what they were given, but nothing much to write home about.
I’m all for red flags, but the forced scenes throughout the show and the way they were framed honestly just made me kinda queasy.

For a VERY specific audience, do not expect logic or maturity
The experience of watching this while it was on-going is genuinely one in a million. I could not keep up with the discussions of characters being irredeemable one week and then being redeemed the next, somehow. This show had a LOT of flaws, but goddamn does it keep you hooked.The first few episodes are filmed in such a close camera lens and shots that it genuinely feels a bit obsessive and personal, later on you understand why. The characters were mostly one dimensional, but Lu Feng, what a character. Watching the show just to see what he does next became the new motivation for me honestly. The acting was amazing from him and he did NOT hold back.
Xiao Chen...I wish he was braver.
Anyways GREAT ost ! Overall good watch.

Is the hype justified? Kinda...
I like dark (and at times toxic) romance but I do have some things that will immediately turn me off a story. Now, where I draw the line is pretty subjective, I enjoyed "To My Shore", which arguably crosses similar if not worse moral lines.I suppose it's because in "Double Helix" it seems like Yi Chen had no possible power in or outside of their relationship. (Although Lu Feng's devotion could imply that in their dynamic, Yi Chen had the upper hand, this is not the case.)
Yi Chen is punished for doing just about anything Lu Feng doesn't agree with. And Lu Feng's treatment of him was domineering and abusive. Using his superior resources, physical strength and ruthlessness to manipulate and psychologically torture Yi Cheng and hold him captive.
And yet Yi Cheng gives him countless chances despite Lu Feng doing nothing to atone for them until going to therapy and ultimately in-patient care (which he is basically forced into by way of ultimatum.) His actual improvement shown with a montage in the very last episode. And I also don't feel great about justifying his behaviour somewhat with "mental illness".
I worry about the people I see defending Lu Feng online. You're more than allowed to like the character/enjoy a toxic ship but to justify his entirely selfish and abusive behaviour is concerning.
I gave the show 6 stars despite loathing the storyline because I really liked the second couple (Yi Chen's brother did nothing wrong besides his initial homophobia, he was right to protect his brother imo). The show's production quality was quite satisfactory and I honestly enjoyed the performance from Lv Si Tong and Ayden Sng.
I look forward to their next project because I do think they're talented and have great chemistry. This show just really went downhill for me story/character wise.

a mix of cuteness, toxicity and a lot of emotions
first id like to talk about the cast, they did such a great job esp ayden's performance its so great, a great actor indeed, he portrayed lu feng so well,and Lu Si Tong is such a cutie he is so adorablethe ost is great, an intriguing story which switch from cute to toxic and dark to cute again and give us all type of feelings from giddiness, to sadness, to frustration and anger, to more giddiness from cute scenes
i highly recommend it for people who can handle toxic and dark stories, its better to check the tags and the trailer before watching tho as it can be very triggering

love story worth fighting for but a script too lazy to let its characters fight for it
Double Helix opens with something genuinely beautiful. The first two episodes portray Lu Feng and Cheng Yi Chen's student life with real tenderness: two people drawn together despite everything around them telling them not to be. Underneath that romance sits a story with real weight: a world that refuses to accept their love as love. Cheng Yi Chen's own mother treats his sexuality like a disease to be cured rather than a truth to be accepted. That is the show's real subject. It is the story Double Helix should have told.It is not the story Double Helix tells.
Instead of staying with that slow, devastating pressure, showing how rejection from family, society, and institutions can quietly erode two people from the inside, the writers reach for something far blunter. To manufacture the conflict that drives Lu Feng and Cheng Yi Chen apart, the show turns to sexual violence. The choice is jarring against everything established before it: this is a Lu Feng who fought his family, defied social expectation, and gave up his inheritance to be with Cheng Yi Chen. Nothing in that build-up earns the abruptness of what comes next. The show needed the audience to turn on him, and rather than letting that turn arrive through accumulated strain, it manufactured it in a single act.
The same shortcut resurfaces later, in a different shape. Having used violence to break the relationship apart, the writers reach for a psychiatric disorder to explain it after the fact. A diagnosis is not accountability. It re-labels what happened rather than sitting with it, and it lets the show move toward its happy ending without doing the harder work of making Lu Feng actually reckon with what he did.
What makes this doubly frustrating is what the writers had already built and chose to abandon. Cheng Yi Chen is established early as someone capable of real loyalty, caring deeply for the people around him. But that loyalty stops at Lu Feng. When the relationship becomes difficult, he does not fight for it. He walks away with striking ease, and years later, rather than confronting his mother's rejection of who he loves, he marries a woman he has no feelings for simply to keep the peace. It is the same avoidance the show itself is guilty of when things get hard, take the easier path rather than do the difficult work of confrontation. Cheng Yi Chen never matches what Lu Feng sacrificed, and the imbalance is never acknowledged, let alone explored.
Double Helix had a story worth telling about love that society refuses to recognise it, about the quiet cruelty of a mother who sees her son's identity as something to be fixed. Somewhere in its first two episodes, the show knew this. But underneath every choice that follows is the sense that the writer had already decided who each character would be before the story ever earned it. Cheng Yi Chen was cast as the victim, Lu Feng cast as the red flag, both fitted into roles rather than allowed to become them. It chose spectacle over meaning, shock over substance, and predetermined character labels over honest storytelling.

Trigger Warning for SA, Kidnapping, Confinement, Isolation, & Abuse
I was really looking forward to this one. Just a warning; my thoughts are all over the place right now so this review may not be the most organized. It's also almost 3am hehe so there may be some spelling and grammar mistakes.This is a series where there aren't many characters that aren't going to frustrate or annoy you at least once. The MC's work friends probably won't, and maybe Yi Chen's (the little brother) boyfriend won't, but he also didn't have much personality outside liking little Yi Chen. Ke Lu was fine too, but we didn't see him much either. Lu Feng's sister is pretty cool as well after their father dies, you can tell she cares about her brother at least.
Can I just point out how stupid it was to have the MC & his little brother share the same name.
Don't get me wrong it wasn't bad, but it did feel like it was trying to hard to be something it wasn't. There was always something happening that would remind me of To My Shore & Revenged Love; mostly in the dialogue.
The OST was alright. I didn't hate it at least, there was just too much of it. Once or twice an episode would be fine, but it happened sometimes 4 or 5 times where we would get a flashback/montage with a lyric song overlaid. The flashback/montage's were over done as well. We didn't need that many.
We didn't need so many NC scene's of the second couple either. I would have much rather have seen how the little brother fell in love. I don't believe it was love at first sight like with Qin Lang and Lu Feng. We don't get enough of the second couple.
The fashion was probably my favorite thing about the series. I liked the Yi Chen siblings clothes, especially Xiao Chen, but I also really liked Zhu Sha's. Not many people can pull off a bubble skirt (at least not many I've seen).
I liked that we got to see our main couples relationship at basically every stage. High school, college, right after college, and then meeting again after 5 years of separation.
The acting was good. Xiao Chen seemed overly dazed at times, but I chalked that up to his character being overwhelmed with the situation. I especially liked that you could tell something was wrong with Lu Feng just from his eyes.
The last thing that I feel is worth mentioning on the positive side them giving a reason behind Lu Feng's aggression and impulsive behavior. Bipolar disorder isn't something I know much about so I can't speck for accuracy, but this is the first time I've seen them give, or at least acknowledged, a mental health reason for the ML acting crazy obsessive over the main character. Xiao Chen being a trigger for him also makes perfect sense if his love for him run's so deep, and they are constantly being torn apart. I also like that we got to see him working though it. Was this accurate treatment? I have no idea. It felt like it would hurt more than help, but my medical training didn't cover this type of mental disorder.
Would it be horrible of me to say that I was happy that the parent's all started dropping like flies? I didn't care about any of them and I don't think we were meant to. Lu Feng's father died & Lu Feng's tears felt like those of relief. I'd cry in relief too if my abuser died. The Chen's father? It happened with no fanfare. I'm not even sure they told us why or how he died. The most memorable thing he did was fly into a rage and lock Xiao Chen in his room. The Chen's mother? Lady was really holding on for that wedding wasn't she? She wasn't going to be able to rest till she saw her son in a loveless marriage that anyone with eye's could see would go no where.
(I've heard in the book they actually have a kid and so does Lu Feng from a one-night stand & I'm interested to know how that affect's the whole kidnapping thing. I may have to read the book.)
BACK TO THE MOTHER. This women pissed me off. I already didn't like her for not even worrying about her son who had just been attacked, but was more worried about him not being "normal" as she put it. Then she kept trying to set him up with girls & ignoring what his type really was. At the hospital though was were I really wanted her to just bite it. When she was giving this long death bed guilt trip to Xiao Chen about how at least one of her sons needed to be normal or it was a waste of time raising them, how he corrupted his little brother, how she had saved up so much money for him to start a family with. It's like being normal is more important than her children's happiness. If only she knew that Xiao Chen was picturing himself marrying Lu Feng while marrying Zhou Lan.
The wedding was a shotgun wedding.
Since I brought her up~ I don't like Zhou Lan. Not because she married Xiao Chen, in that she was just being a good friend while also getting to marry her crush. Can't blame the girl for taking the opportunity that landed in her lap. I didn't like her at the beginning because her character felt desperate, but it was near the end where she brings a gun and accidently shots Xiao Chen that really solidified my dislike. Why didn't she call the cops? Why would you enter someone's home with a gun? She didn't even know anything about Xiao Chen & Lu Feng's relationship, didn't know anything about the situation, or weather Lu Feng has a gun, she didn't take into account that Xiao Chen could have been hit. She simply didn't think at all. If you think someone is being held captive, confirm and then call the cops. Don't take the law into your own hands. I pisses me off that she didn't get any punishment for this either, or if she did we aren't told about it. I don't care if her reasons were good it's still attempt of murder.
Episode 9 was were Lu Feng went from a toxic red flag to a psychopath. Props to the actors during this episode because it was a lot, especially the biting which was real at least once. Sadly we only got this level of toxic psycho behavior for only one episode. I know I'm a horrible person for wanting more. I just felt like they tried to pack it all into one episode when it could have been spread out into two episodes and had more impact.
Finally the thing I HATED most. Who thought that 3D model of the city was good? It was so fake & ugly it hurt to look at. I'd be embarrassed for people to see my name attached to it. I don't know what the budget was but it must have been scaping the bottom of the barrel. I'm going to assume they didn't have the funds for a drone, or maybe legally they can't do drone shots. But a picture from Google images would have looked better. The worse thing is we didn't need these city or sky shots at all! When we have a time skip sure use it, but they subject us too these moving 3D model's multiple times each episode for no good reason. Just don't show us anything at all. Transition from one scene to the next using the fade to black method or something.
Was that a bit harsh? Probably, but it bothered me throughout the whole series and I couldn't not say something about it.
While I was disappointed by many aspects of the show I'm still glad that I watched it.

This Show Could Have Been Good, But It Chose Toxicity and Possessiveness
I’m gonna try to be very honest in my review but for me personally I really disliked this drama like really didn’t like it. In like the first two-threeish episodes I actually was enjoying myself but watching the storyline continue I didn’t like it because it was very repetitive and boring to me when the storyline continued on and it even got very chaotic and messy to me at one point. Anyways this is my opinion I know some people liked this show and others didn’t like it, but I liked it when Lu Feng and Xiao Chen would date each other because they would be cute but what broke them up or the challenges they faced just made me annoyed at their relationship. I was also a fan of Cheng Yi Chen (the brother) but after all the homophobia Xiao Chen faced and how he was rude to Lu Feng before the incident between them it made me not like him anymore and plus how he treated Qin Lang was not cool in my opinion. Sorry if it annoys someone but I genuinely couldn’t like them after certain moments.Also I will warn you my review might contain spoilers about the show since they’ll explain my opinion even more so be aware.
Okay so I liked the first episode since it was like those school dramas and in this case it showed how Xiao Chen and Lu Feng are now reunited where Xiao Chen is an employee and Lu Feng is the CEO of the company and it seemed like Xiao Chen didn’t know about it, but was upset at Lu Feng since he’s getting engaged but made Lu Feng jealous by saying he has a girlfriend being Zhu Sha which is his coworker. Then we get flashbacks to the past where they first met in high school and were distant, but were roommates in college where they got closer and overtime we could see that Lu Feng was developing a crush on Xiao Chen while Xiao Chen only saw him as a friend until Lu Feng confessed to him after they had a fight and his sister called Xiao Chen to check on him in the hospital because he got injured in a fight at the bar where he protected a girl from an abusive man and that’s when Xiao Chen and Lu Feng had their first kiss and got together for the first time. Though this relationship would go through hardships the first time because many people are homophobic that when a classmate posted a photo of them kissing during their moment where they said they’ll be together forever and Lu Feng gave Xiao Chen his matching ring almost as significant as a wedding ring and when the photo got out they both were gonna be expelled because they are gay and when they were walking down an alleyway a man with his gang came at them and started to assault Xiao Chen which made Lu Feng so upset that he started beating the guy up and the man almost died but that made it to headlines and led to Lu Feng being arrested. When Xiao Chen parents found out they locked him in his room saying he’s “infected” since he’s gay and honestly I know this might happen to people in real life but seeing it on TV honestly hurts me like why have kids if you won’t be accepting of them like it’s their life not yours and I feel in this situation what made everything worse was that Lu Feng almost killed a guy. This is what led their relationship to break apart with Lu Feng’s father bailing him out of jail and forcing him to go to the United States to work at a family branch and maybe get married to a women but not be gay since it will ruin their reputation, but all Lu Feng wanted to do was to say bye for one last time to Xiao Chen and luckily his sister allowed one last goodbye but Xiao Chen’s brother Cheng Yi Chen wouldn’t let it happen and told Lu Feng he’s leaving without a goodbye but Xiao Chen said he will see him no matter what and what sucks was that they were just a minute off from being together or at least saying one last goodbye.
Now this was the four year time gap that they were apart from each other and in these four years Xiao Chen literally couldn’t date anyone else because he just missed Lu Feng and even had to transfer schools even though Lu Feng left and Lu Feng tried to reach out to him through letters but Xiao Chen never received it. Though what annoyed me was that his brother Cheng Yi Chen could date a guy and get away with it even in public since Cheng Yi Chen was a singer at Qin Lang’s bar and although Qin Lang tried to get with Cheng Yi Chen multiple times he kept rejecting because he wasn’t gay and even lived with the guy at one point, but you could tell 100% that Cheng Yi Chen was in love with Qin Lang but he didn’t want to be gay was his problem so instead he forces Qin Lang to date Xiao Chen to get him over Lu Feng thinking everyone would be happy which was not even close to being true. In the end Qin Lang yells at Cheng Yi Chen that he’s not only hurting himself by watching someone he likes date another person, but he’s hurting Qin Lang by forcing him to date someone he’s not even into, and hurting Xiao Chen by making him be in a loveless relationship with someone he only sees as just a friend. Meanwhile with Lu Feng he finally got an opportunity to go back to Xiao Chen since he’ll get his passport back but at the cost of being engaged to a women he doesn’t know or even like so of course since Lu Feng is lovesick for Xiao Chen he’ll say yes to the marriage but he’ll be going to Lan City and owning a branch of his families business. Meanwhile with Xiao Chen he’s also moving to Lan City because he got a job opportunity their and saw that Lu Feng is moving there and guess what they ended up at the same company and now we are in the present time.
After they were in the same company together their relationship was at first strained because Lu Feng was supposedly engaged to a woman and Xiao Chen faked being in a relationship with Zhu Sha. Later Lu Feng told Xiao Chen to come to his home to talk and at first Xiao Chen was stand-offish but later became normal but Lu Feng revealed he’s actually divorced now and is living in his sisters home but that he wants Xiao Chen to reconsider them getting back together and although you can totally tell Xiao Chen wants to be with him he’s playing hard to get and is trying to stay away. In the end when Xiao Chen was ready to get together and move in together Lu Feng was caught with another guy which annoyed Xiao Chen and caused him to throw his ring and made Lu Feng sad. Later this caused problems since now Xiao Chen wanted to quit and leave but Lu Feng didn’t want that which caused him to lash out. In the end they still got together and were accepted by Cheng Yi Chen a little and then later Xiao Chen and Lu Feng would be on a double date with Cheng Yi Chen and Qin Lang. Now the reason why they broke up this time was because Xiao Chen’s mom became ill after hearing and seeing that Lu Feng and Xiao Chen are dating again since Xiao Chen is now “cured” after being seen with his friend Zhou Lan whose a girl and yelled at them which led to Lu Feng trying to defend their relationship but also calls out Cheng Yi Chen and Qin Lang who are also dating and have been in front of her many times and she never noticed and I know some people at this moment hated him for that but honestly I feel it’s fair because why is Lu Feng and Xiao Chen can’t be together but Qin Lang and Cheng Yi Chen can be near each other and act closer than a boss and co worker relationship. Later the mom passed out and ended up in the hospital and led to Xiao Chen being scolded badly and made the decision to break up with Lu Feng which caused him to lash out and tie him to a hospital bed while he goes to find Qin Lang and Cheng Yi Chen to ask if they will also break up to which they both say no and that made Lu Feng upset that he pushed Cheng Yi Chen down the stairs and while that happened he ran back to Xiao Chen and told him they have to run away but got beaten by Qin Lang and that’s when Xiao Chen found out what happened and this led to him being done with Lu Feng. Then Cheng Yi Chen and Qin Lang had to go to England so that they can treat him and Xiao Chen made the decision to date Zhou Lan for his mother and eventually got married to her to fulfill his mothers wishes. Later his mother sadly passed, he went to live with Zhou Lan and work at her company, and cut off contact with Qin Lang and Cheng Yi Chen so Lu Feng can’t find him or them.
Now 5 years passed again and Zhou Lan and Xiao Chen are getting a divorce since she is in love with someone else and realized that there better off as friends and Xiao Chen can now go back to Lu Feng since he’s in love with him still and she understands. Later Xiao Chen finds out Lu Feng established his own company and tried to meet with him but was rejected because too many fake people are pretending to be his friend and he accidentally hit a biker and met a new person named Kuo Lou who he helped try to fix his laptop that was broken and took him to his company that he works at for a job opening which turned out to be Lu Feng’s company. They talked for a little and it ended with Lu Feng is done with him and doesn’t want to be with Xiao Chen anymore and is now supposedly dating Kuo Lou. Then eventually Lu Feng accepted him to come to his house to talk, but didn’t want to talk to him which later turned to be Xiao Chen being locked in his home for like a 2-3 weeks and never got to leave and had to keep seeing Lu Feng bring in new guys to make him jealous and one day Lu Feng got really drunk that he went after Xiao Chen and it was stopped due to Xiao Chen finding a camera. One day Zhou Lan came to his him to recuse Xiao Chen since there still “married” and Lu Feng was acting really insane and kept making out with Xiao Chen in front of her to prove that they never did anything but Lu Feng and him always did things and it got to the point that she shot Xiao Chen on accident and was aiming for Lu Feng. Then the whole episode was Xiao Chen in the hospital in a coma and only Lu Feng and Zhou Lan came to talk to him and eventually he woke up to Lu Feng. After he left the hospital Lu Feng kept trying to help Xiao Chen with his business and paying for bills but he kept trying to tell him to stop and leave him alone but if he knows where Qin Lang and Cheng Yi Chen are then to tell him to which he said he didn’t know. Then one day they showed up and told Xiao Chen to come live with them but Lu Feng was upset because he lied about knowing where they were so he can stay with Xiao Chen and that he’ll never leave him. Then he agreed to leaving with Cheng Yi Chen and Qin Lang and Lu Feng chased them until he couldn’t and then Xiao Chen told him to stop the car since he loves Lu Feng and wants to be with him. Then they got together until it was known that Lu Feng was going to a hotel with a man and Xiao Chen found out along with the key card and confronted Lu Feng after they fought due to Xiao Chen wanting to go to Zhou Lan’s wedding and Lu Feng wanted him to cut contact with her and don’t go. Then Lu Feng told him that the reason he went to a hotel was to talk to a psychiatrist that his sister told him to meet with and was told he has bipolar disorder and he’s been afraid to tell him since he feel Xiao Chen will leave him if he finds out he’s sick. Later Xiao Chen was very understanding of him but wanted him to take treatment for it and met with the doctor who told him ways to force him to take treatment which led to him telling Lu Feng that he’s moving to a new home and that they need to be friends for now or else his sickness will hurt Xiao Chen. Then Lu Feng said they should never see each other again then Xiao Chen called Yi Chen and Qin Lang to help force Lu Feng into treatment but told him that Lu Feng is outside and he was crying with his hand all bloody due to him breaking Xiao Chen’s vase in an episode and ended up accepting treatment for Xiao Chen’s safety. Then it ended with him getting treatment and them having a happier life where they both feel it’s a happy and healthy relationship right now and they feel it’s the same happiness they had when they were in school and went back to the school where they first met and got their fortune taken.
Now I’m so sorry for spoiling the show but my opinion is that these episodes could’ve been shorter or lesser episodes since one whole episode would be Xiao Chen in a coma, Xiao Chen locked up, them in high school, or Lu Feng getting treatment which I feel didn’t need a whole episode based on it. I also felt that the show would’ve been more enjoyable to me if it wasn’t so toxic and possessive like being from Lu Feng and that each episode led to Xiao Chen crying. I also felt that the brother’s story was a little rushed and they were not there for half the episodes so there story felt short. Also I felt that when you ignored all the bad stuff they experienced and the toxicity in their relationship Xiao Chen and Lu Feng were honestly a cute couple. Anyways this was all my opinion and it’s totally up to you if you want to watch this but honestly I don’t recommend this show because it felt too toxic to me.
