Review Flower Boy
"To have a relationsship with the a man whos uncle killed his mom, seems a bit too ridicilous for me especially when his first move was to "steal" his scent and burned his village. For me, this whole story did not make much sense"


I understand why those points bother you, but I think some of the context gets overlooked.

First, the village burning down was an accident. Scent and Gaysorn were trapped and trying to escape. They had no idea their actions would cause a fire that spread to the village. They had already fallen in love before they even discovered what happened. When Scent returned and saw the damage, he offered to pay for the repairs because he felt responsible. It was a mistake, not a deliberate act of cruelty. If we judge people solely by their worst mistakes, then nobody would deserve love because everyone makes mistakes.

Second, regarding Scent stealing Gaysorn's scent, I think people are judging his actions without putting themselves in his position. His father is dying, and extracting Gaysorn's fragrance may be the only way to save him. Yes, he came to the village with an agenda. Yes, he kept Gaysorn close because he needed something from him. But he also genuinely helped Gaysorn search for his mother, so the relationship was never completely one sided.

What makes Scent interesting is that he is flawed. He is desperate, manipulative, and willing to make morally questionable choices for someone he loves. That does not make him a good person, but it makes him a believable and compelling character. You can already see him developing real feelings for Gaysorn, which is exactly why the inevitable fallout will hurt so much when the truth comes out.

If Scent had been completely honest from the beginning and said, "I need to extract your fragrance to save my father," do people really think Gaysorn would have gone with him to Bangkok? Probably not. The story works because Scent's actions create conflict. If he were a perfect green flag from episode one, there would be very little tension or emotional stakes.

People often love morally grey characters in other genres because they are complicated. Understanding a character's motivations does not mean you approve of everything they do. It simply means the writing is doing its job.

Third, regarding the relationship with the nephew of the man who killed Gaysorn's mother, Scent and Gaysorn fell in love before they even knew about that connection. More importantly, Scent did not commit the murder. His uncle did. Both Scent and Gaysorn were only around four years old when the murder happened and had absolutely nothing to do with it.

I don't think it's fair to say two people cannot be together because of a crime committed by an older relative. Scent is not responsible for his uncle's actions. In fact, he loved Gaysorn enough to turn his own uncle over to the police. That alone shows where his loyalty and morals ultimately lie.

By that logic, anyone whose relative committed a crime would be forever judged for something they never did themselves. Love is between two people, not between their family histories. Holding Scent accountable for his uncle's crime makes no more sense than blaming a child for the actions of their parents or relatives

“I like men.”
“Is your name Men?”

OMG, then they kissed.

Their first kiss appeared only as shadows dancing over the ocean's waves, and somehow that made it even more beautiful. The water caught the moment and carried it across the shore. I had never seen a shadow kiss in a BL before, and they executed it perfectly.

It was a slow burn for four episodes, but it was definitely worth the wait.

The kissing scene at the end of episode 3 was so hot. If you watch closely, you can even see the saliva dripping. I'm so glad it was a real kiss and not a fake one. The chemistry was intense, thrilling, and completely captivating.

I can't wait for the moment when Jay finds out that Sun was the pink teddy bear who saved him.
One thing I'm curious about, though. During their encounter a few years ago, it makes sense that Jay couldn't recognize Sun because he was wearing the pink teddy bear costume. But why couldn't Sun recognize Jay? His face was completely visible, and Sun could clearly see through the costume since he was able to fight off all those thugs in the alley.

Any novel readers here that can answer my question?

I’m not a psychiatrist, but my sister has bipolar disorder and I’ve been through hospital admissions with her. I’ve had doctors and mental health professionals explain what bipolar is, its symptoms, and how it affects people during different episodes.

So no, you don’t have to be a psychiatrist to learn about bipolar disorder or have an informed opinion on it. Professional expertise is important, but lived experience and learning directly from medical professionals also count for something. I’m not claiming to know everything, but my view is based on far more than just a sliver of information.

Firstly, you chose to post your opinion on a public forum. If you don't want people responding to your comments, a public review website probably isn't the place to post them.

Secondly, I'm not going to ignore it simply because you disagree with me. There's a reply button for a reason, people can agree, disagree, or challenge what's been said. That's how public discussions work.

As for your brother, I'm sorry for your loss. However, bringing up a personal situation doesn't change the point being discussed. People are free to respond to opinions posted publicly, just as you're free to express yours.

Just because Lu Feng has bipolar disorder does not exempt him from being responsible for his own actions.
Clearly, you do not know much about bipolar disorder or have close family members or friends who live with it. It is a very serious mental illness, and during severe episodes a person may not be acting like their usual self.

I am not defending Lu Feng's actions, but I also do not think it is fair to look down on people with bipolar disorder or dismiss the role that mental illness can play in someone's behavior.

Bipolar disorder is a genuine mental health condition that can significantly affect a person's thoughts, emotions, judgment, and actions, especially when it is untreated. That does not mean every harmful action should be excused, but it does mean the situation is more complicated than simply labeling someone as a bad person. Understanding the context behind a character's behavior is not the same thing as condoning it.

FYI biolar disorder is a very serious mental illness and my sister has previously has bipolar disorder. It can be managed with the right treatment, medication, and time.

During her worst episodes, she was very aggressive, both verbally and physically toward my elderly parents. It was an incredibly difficult time for our family.

We were fortunate to have access to Australia’s healthcare system, which provided support with medication, housing, and ongoing care. She has recovered remarkably well and is now a completely different person. It’s been amazing to see the positive change in her life.

That’s why Episode 12 hit me so hard. Seeing Yi Cheng stay by Lu Feng’s side through everything reminded me that sometimes the people who are struggling the most need someone who refuses to give up on them. Yi Cheng was always there for Lu Feng, and that really resonated with me because of what my family went through.

For me I always dislike characters (especially family members) who are truly selfish. Even when you take Lu Feng…
You mentioned before that you stopped watching this series because you hate abusers and did not want them to get a fairy tale ending.

But in episode 12, it is revealed that Lu Feng has bipolar disorder, a mental illness that helps explain a lot of his behavior throughout the story. He is clearly struggling with serious mental health issues and is hospitalized to receive treatment. This is exactly why we should never judge a book by its cover or rush to conclusions before the full story is revealed. People were quick to label him without understanding what he was going through.

While his condition may provide important context for his actions, it also shows that there was more complexity to his character than many viewers initially assumed. Sometimes a character's behavior makes much more sense once their circumstances and personal struggles are fully revealed. That is why it is often better to watch the entire series before forming a final judgment.

I wonder what all those people who dropped the series or kept bashing Lu Feng have to say now after watching episode 12. It was revealed that he has bipolar disorder, a mental illness that explains a lot of his behavior throughout the story. He is clearly struggling with serious mental health issues and is hospitalized to receive treatment. This is exactly why we should never judge a book by its cover. People were so quick to make conclusions before knowing the full picture. Sometimes a character's actions make more sense once their circumstances and struggles are fully revealed.

Watching the whole series before forming a final opinion is always the better approach.

Now that the show has ended, I need another toxic BL to watch. As messy and frustrating as toxic relationships can be, they make for such intense, thrilling drama. For me, they are often far more exciting to watch than perfectly green flag couples because the emotional stakes feel so much higher.
