They are the leads of Sammy's Children's Day. It's my current favourite bl. Their onscreen and offscreen chemistry is really good.

For me, in last scene XF biting LQ's thumb indicates that he's a willing participant their weird power dynamic relationship.

There was one called Uncontrolled Love. Round trip to love (adaptation of the same book double helix is based on but more honest) was also crazy. I don't have many recommendations because most of those were low budget shows being reuploaded by random people with sentences as titles instead of actual titles. Then there are famous once like Addicted, advance bravely (labeled bromance) etc but they have different stories than this format.

This series reminds me of older Chinese BLs with power dynamic of master and slave. One is arrogant and dictatorial while other one is submissive to the point of being pathetic. You kids can complain about XF not having a backbone at all but all I see two people who fit each other well. XF is too timid and weak to be in a relationship with anyone else. He is completely devoted to LQ no matter what. LQ is doing what he thinks is needed for him to be in the position where he can be with XF. He's hurting XF in process but he loves him. This show is giving me nostalgia and I'm loving it.

First I heard that the shooting is gonna start in August and now I'm hearing that we can get some news in September. It's getting scary now. You're right about promotions though. There's so much content but no confirmation of season 2.

Siri and the journalist girl ❤️ I need to start watching GLs too lol

I think drama makes this situation clear but viewers have to listen to narrator and read between the lines carefully.

This is an old trope in BLs too. I remember watching BLs like this in 2015. That nostalgia is the reason I'm watching this show 😅

I haven't finished any drama after watching SCD. I'm reading Danmei to scratch the BL itch but can't get into dramas for now.

If you read the novel first, drama would fell short for you because novel has so much more action and details but if you can manage your expectations then drama will make you love the novel even more. If you watch drama first then it gives you faces for the characters so you end up enjoying novel a lot.

Liu Yi looks so slutty in this cover😂

Depends if you count kisses as smut. Total 3 kisses and all of a super romantic and emotional. Nothing else.

I don't wanna be negative about other dramas but how come so many dramas with no real substance are getting popular while SCD remains cherished only among fans who caught it while it was airing. Even getting new edits of the show on ig is hard if you aren't following pages dedicated for them. It's sad and effects the possibility of season 2 🙂

That's the thing. We can't take anything as a hint for season 2 unless there is an official confirmation.

I'd say that case file compendium is ok. It's not bad but it's not making me go crazy either. It has mistery in it. The relationship between leads is as problematic as it gets. Sometimes it feels like it's trying too hard to be edgy so there's that but I'm on vol 5 and I don't regret reading it.

OMG Addicted novels are my favourite too. Addicted series (the unfinished one) was my first Chinese BL and the books were first danmei novels I have ever read. You're right. It's everyone's favourite because it's so good🤌. It has my favourite problematic "top"🤣. I have read 4-5 chapters of silent reading few days ago but then I discovered case file compendium so I'm currently reading that. I'd pick silent reading back after finishing that.

I want the scene in which chusan makes lui yi watch the horror movie about cheating and Liu Yi is scared of Chu San 🤣

What you said about being Chu San biased is so true for me too. I was team Chu San from the beginning to the end in the novel and now I love Chusan's actor xixi so I'm double biased now.

He doesn't want revenge from Jiahua or Liu Yi specifically. He's using Jiahua to get to the person who's the main culprit. Liu Yi is just collateral like anyone from underworld. Also it hasn't been stabilized in drama but according to the novel, the main culprit has something to do with both Jiahua and Liu Yi but in very different ways.

If they keep up with Liu Yi feelings for QL being platonic story line, may be they can show Chu San's jealousy simply over the fact that he's trusting and spending time with a good looking guy he has just met and choosing him for important gang related jobs over his older gang members.
Look at us... Pretending like season 2 is 100% confirmed and already being produced 🤣
