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.
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.
If we want more high quality series in the future, let’s support them the legal way. Every view counts.
But this is fiction, not real life.
Are we going to cancel/stop watching every show or movie that depicts rape, violence, or morally disturbing themes? If so, we can say goodbye to half of modern storytelling.
Game of Thrones, The Handmaid’s Tale, 13 Reasons Why, Outlander, Law & Order: SVU, Monster, Kill Bill, Gone Girl, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo all explore horrific acts. Yet they are praised, award-winning, and widely consumed.
Watching dark or controversial content does not mean you support it. No one watches a serial killer movie and thinks, “Wow, I want to do that.”
Fiction is where we confront uncomfortable truths. We explore trauma, redemption, and the darkest parts of humanity, not to glorify them, but to understand their impact.
That is the point of storytelling. It creates tension, challenges our empathy, and holds up a mirror to society’s ugliest sides.
If we only watched shows with perfect morals and flawless characters, we would lose Breaking Bad, Dexter, Joker, The Godfather, Scarface, and entire genres of storytelling.
So no, watching a rape scene does not mean we support rape or are normalizing it. Watching a story that includes an abuser does not mean we support abuse.
It simply means we understand the difference between fiction and reality
Put yourself in his shoes. If someone hurt your family, caused your mother to end up in the hospital, pushed you down the stairs and left you crippled, how would you feel? He spent years in rehabilitation just to get back to normal. Then he suddenly lost contact with his older brother, and years later he found out that Lu Feng was the one who kidnapped and imprisoned him, and that his brother almost lost his life.
Yes, the younger brother is a hypocrite in some ways. He is gay himself, yet he hid the text messages and interfered with his brother's relationship. He is also in a happy relationship with his own partner. I know many people will say, "If he can be happy, why can't he let his brother be happy too?"
But how many times did Lu Feng hurt his brother? From the younger brother's perspective, Lu Feng was never someone he could trust. Everything he did came from wanting to protect his brother, even if he went about it the wrong way.
At the end of the day, he still let his brother go and accepted his relationship with Lu Feng. I'm not defending all of his actions, but I can understand why he acted the way he did.
I honestly don't know why so many people keep hating on the brother. He is a flawed character, but that's what makes him interesting. Without him, this series wouldn't be nearly as good as it is. Just enjoy the show and appreciate the different perspectives.
The principal was also wrong. You cannot fire someone for being gay. I'm so glad I live in a Western country where same sex relationships are legal. We promote LGBT rights here in Australia, and it is illegal to discriminate against someone because of their sexual orientation.
China is such a homophobic country.
Love is love.
For me, I use both PrEP and condoms to be safe. Everyone has their own preferences, and it’s a personal choice what level of protection they prefer.
She reads BL novels and wants to ship her brother. It’s so cute and I love how supportive she is. ❤️
This series reminds me so much of Bad Buddy. It’s like they’re Pat and Pran’s babies. ❤️
If I end up disappointed later, I’ll update my review accordingly. MDL allows users to post reviews before a series is finished so people can read them and decide whether they want to watch. If the show goes downhill, I’ll edit my review and lower my score, just like I’ve done with many other series. There have been plenty of times when I gave a show 10/10 while it was airing, only to lower it to 6/10 after it finished.
If you don’t like that policy, take it up with MDL. If you don’t like how MDL works, then choose another review website that suits you better. There’s no point commenting about it here, as it won’t change anything, and I’ll continue posting reviews before a show finishes, just as MDL allows.
To be honest, I’m not religious and priest storylines are usually not my thing, but I’ll be watching this to support three amazing actors.
