Go-Ya

....I don't understand one thing; why was it necessary for H and M to break up? It's a bit like Hurikawa used Minase and when he felt strong and safe enough, he simply left him. I don't know if I like it.

There is not the slightest chance that this series will end well, especially since M informs us of this right at the beginning. M says while walking along the sea that he writes to H on every birthday, even though he knows he won't get a letter from H, he does it anyway because they promised. Add to that a video of the show's theme song and you have your answer. We'll be crying again soon, so let's get ready for it. Personally, I won't be watching the final episode.

I love this series so much that I'm trying to figure out which episode they can watch it to, so as not to be crushed again like it happened after Blue Canvas and a few others.
It's certain that this series will end in tragedy.
The first episode begins with M walking along the seashore and stating that he and H have promised to write letters to each other on their birthdays, so he does it even though he knows he won't get a reply.
..... it then follows that M has returned to his family home and, walking around the city, visits their common places.
M's diary, because that's the format of this series, shows us the date when they first met H.
Adding to this the fact that H is regularly beaten by his father and how the video narration looks with the title song for this series, there is no doubt that something terrible will happen to H.
That's why I think I'll stop watching at episode 10.
The series is great and I really like the development of their romance and the development of their characters. I love the fact that H is a great guy hidden in indifference and "aggression" and only M knows about it.

Why do great gay stories always end in some tragedy?

I don't know, everyone raves about it and I'm not convinced. I don't see the bombastic chemistry between the actors, nor does the action of this series convince me. It's not enough to throw four popular actors into one pot and strip them almost naked and show a few hot scenes to make the series good and interesting. Such sexy actions will be interesting for the first 20 minutes, but they don't make the series outstanding or worth watching. Besides, the script of the series seems to me to be not very logical. I don't think this series deserves all these oohs and aahs ....

... a bit boring but I held out until the end because I absolutely wanted to know what would come of this shared meal. Of course it was known in advance that both boys would fall in love but I didn't expect that we would get a picture of a queer platonic and asexual relationship between two young boys. How boring and notrealistic it was, unless it was in Japan.

PS. The food culture in Asia is definitely different from ours; I mean the sounds. I know that it is completely normal for them, but definitely not for us. LOL

Well, I don't know, I saw the video of the title song and it didn't look like a happy ending. If it turns into a tragedy again, I'll protest. Not in December, it's dark and cold and I need something to warm my heart. After Blue Canvas, I don't want any more tragedy.

If this series doesn't have a happy ending then I don't know....

Queer censorship and intolerance is a weapon of the government and political programs that has little to do with the general opinion in China. The truth is that two boys can walk hand in hand through the streets of Beijing and nobody pays attention to them and nobody cares, and besides, it is much safer than, for example, in Berlin. I know what I am talking about because I live in Berlin. In Germany, the LGBTQ community is accepted and the possibility of same-sex marriages and relationships is regulated by law, but that does not mean that being queer feels safe and normal on the streets of German cities.
Therefore, I think that as long as China is communist (and it will probably always be that way), we cannot expect a rainbow revolution and that nothing progressive will happen in this area. The fact that we saw a kiss on the lips and neck is already a revolution... No wonder they stopped this series and turned it into a drama, because that was the only way they could be shown. Being queer is officially considered a perversion in China, making it impossible for queer people to live a normal and happy life like straight people.
As for the actors, I don't think there were any consequences, as they often stream on Weibo and are doing fine.

I have the impression that from episode 4 onwards the narrative changed and the director gave up showing physical closeness. There wasn't even a kiss after LX hadn't seen each other for six years, there was no hug, nothing at all. Only the eyes of the two told us what they were feeling. Yes, Liu and Xiao held hands, but they weren't shown in full, only the focus was on their hands. I think it was a conscious renunciation in order to even finish this project. It's a shame because I missed it so much. I missed their tenderness that we saw at the beginning. But on the other hand, I'm glad we were able to watch this series at all, even if there was too much physical violence and general tragedy for my poor heart.

After watching the last episode, I feel like I've been run over by a tractor and I can't even be happy about the happy ending, because I guess there is one? I don't know anymore... unfortunately I don't feel any joy anymore.

....It is necessary to remind you that homosexuality brings with it all kinds of misfortunes. This is China.

I don't know how this horror series is supposed to end happily for Liu and Xiao? Unless Liu's father dies suddenly in a car accident or falls down the stairs or something and frees Liu from himself. There will be no happy ending for gay love, once again in a row.

That's exactly what I thought. Boys, or rather people of that age in general, would have sex in every corner of their apartment and the fact that there aren't even any signs of them fucking together is unbelievable, but I understand that the censors wouldn't stand for that. We got a kiss on the lips and neck and that was probably the most the Chinese could show. We're talking about men, about two boys who love each other... noooo... that's not possible. Hey guys!

If it weren't for the original by Boss and Neoul, I might have been carried away, but since I've seen the original, the Japanese version seems very bland to me. Yes, Payu tries to give the erotic scenes that fire in Boss's performance, but unfortunately it's very one-sided, especially the kisses....
I'm not impressed in general.......

This is mainland China, not Taiwan. So happy gay endings are unlikely, or to be honest, I don't know of any Chinese BL series that has a happy ending for a gay couple in love. Even a bromance where the main couple is obviously in love ends in tragedy and the loss of a leg of one of the main characters. I have no illusions that Xiao and Lu will end up happily together, but maybe Tan and Liu will be together, because there isn't as undeniable a romance between them as there is between Lu and Xiao.

Today, new trailers for parts 11 and 12 have been released on Weibo, and even though I'm the biggest optimist, but based on what I've seen I can't envision that anyone in this series will be happy. I'd rather say that tragedy literally follows tragedy, and since it contrasts with the incredibly intense and tender moments of the main couple, the realism of the situation is even more depressing and painful.

Of course, they repeat it several times, but if this assumption is the reason for all the misfortune that happens to them, then that is a message not to do it, right?.....or, the main couple will stick to this assumption and pay for it with their lives or the lives of their loved ones

personally I'm a bit surprised that Mick/Top won't become permanent partners, they won't be a ship because the fans love them so much , it's a real shame

I don't know, I haven't seen any information about him. But since he's incredibly talented and had success with Top I think he won't give up acting right? Maybe a new partner or continued work with different partners like Top does?
