Episodes 3 and 4 flew by so quickly, and now having to wait another seven days feels like torture.
Easy 10/10. Time to watch Strong Girl Nam Soon now.
If you don’t want to pay for Viki or GagaOOLala, why not watch it on their official YouTube channel instead? It’s free and every view helps support them. If you want more quality shows in the future, support the official platforms and stop watching on Kiss”” because it’s illegal.
Honestly, I don’t think we always need an explanation for why the dad passed away. Knowing the exact reason probably wouldn’t change much anyway.
Also, a reminder that Episodes 1 and 2 were flashbacks from when the father was still alive. Episode 3 takes place more than half a decade later, so a lot could’ve happened with his illness during that time. It makes sense to me.
We’re getting two episodes every week, one on Friday and one on Saturday.
Lufeng caught Yichen lying about his girlfriend was so funny, and Lufeng immediately came clean about the fake marriage. I’m so glad they didn’t stretch the misunderstanding across multiple episodes.
This seriously gives me Addicted Book 2 vibes. Now I’m desperately waiting for the next 9 episodes.
At this point, we all know Chinese BLs love giving us toxic, red flag leads, and somehow that just makes everything even more thrilling. Green flag characters are nice, but the chaos and tension from red flags hit differently.
Rarely am I this eager for the next episode.
If it’s blocked in your country, you can use a VPN. If we want more shows like this in the future, we need to support them legally because every view counts. Please don’t watch on illegal websites, Facebook uploads, or other unauthorized sources.
Thank you

Last year, Revenged Love was a remake of Falling in Love with a Rival exactly 10 years later, and honestly it turned into one of the best BL remakes in 2025.
Now Double Helix is following the same pattern by remaking A Round Trip to Love exactly 10 years later in 2026.
I am starting to see a pattern here, and hopefully this means a remake of Addicted from 2016 that fully adapts both Book 1 and Book 2 could finally happen someday and make my dream come true.
Out of all countries, honestly Chinese BL dramas and especially their remakes have been some of the best. They take older stories with strong emotional foundations and give them bigger budgets, longer storytelling, better production quality, and more complete character arcs.
He did not abandon the village either, he just wanted to leave to find out about his mother. He said he will be back in a month time.
Can you imagine growing up without a mother, wondering every day if she is alive or dead and what happened to her?
This was his only opportunity to go. If I were him, I would have taken it as well.
So no, he did not betray anyone. He felt trapped and wanted to escape, and again the fire was never intentional.
If Scent had been honest from the very beginning and said, “I need to extract your fragrance because it may save my father,” do people really think Gaysorn would have followed him to Bangkok? Probably not. The whole point of Scent’s character is that he is calculated, manipulative, desperate, and willing to make morally questionable decisions for someone he loves. That makes him flawed, but it also makes him human. Characters who always do the right thing can become predictable very quickly.
I actually think his character is brilliantly written because you can already tell he is going to regret his decisions later. The guilt is building up little by little. That emotional conflict between love and selfishness is what gives the drama tension. If Scent was just a perfect green flag from episode one, this would become another simple and safe BL with no real stakes. Conflict is what keeps people invested.
People love complicated characters in other genres all the time. In superhero movies, villains and morally grey characters are what make the story exciting. Imagine a superhero movie where everyone is kind, honest, and makes perfect decisions all the time. There would be no tension, no betrayal, no emotional impact, and honestly no reason to keep watching. The same thing applies here.
Even in popular dramas outside BL, some of the most loved characters are manipulative or morally grey because viewers understand their motivations. A character can do bad things and still be interesting or sympathetic. Understanding a character’s reasons does not mean you support everything they do. It just means the writing is doing its job and making people feel something.
I think a lot of viewers are reacting emotionally because they are attached to Gaysorn and already feel protective of him. They know his heartbreak is coming, so they are directing that anger toward Scent. But that just proves the story is working exactly as intended.
