I love that nothing I was expecting to happen, happened! This episode was a total surprise, and that's rare for a Thai show, usually these things are so predictable but this episode was not that. I wasn't expecting those who died to die so soon, I wasn't expecting Peace to let what happened so soon, I wasn't expecting the one who showed up to help the guys to actually still be on the 'good side' and so on, just a good watch of 'oh, looky heeeerreee' lol awesome.

It's always nice seeing new viewers discovering this gem ✌️ welcome to the rabbit hole!

It's all good, but only if there's a link to proof of that interview, otherwise, it's just a fan writing their headcanon dreams.

Has anyone else become annoyingly invested in this?

Just a reminder to anyone who isn't aware yet, The Sparkle in your Eye, another uncensored Chinese BL is currently airing on Gaga, Viki and a few other sites. I just watched episode 7 and I have not been disappointed. Seriously, no country does emotional/character development and story building in a BLs like China, the end of ep 7 was 🤌
You won't find it on MDL though, because it's distributed out of Singapore.

What episode are you on bro?

So, the ending is a mixed bag, it offers a certain amount of ambiguity that allows you to decide what you want to think was real or not real. Below are the three most comment perspectives for the ending of the series (which vastly differs from the novel):

1) Comatose Jiushi wakes up and everything was a dream, so he spends the next 50 years creating the virtual world he dreamed about so he can see everyone one he dreamed of.

2) Jiushi had entered a virtual game world, then he 'wakes up' back in his reality after having purified the game, and the virtual world ceases to exist. Lanzhu included, he ceases to exist as he states he would in ep 36. So Jiushi spends the next 50 years creating the virtual world he experienced and the people in it, as a comfort for his loss before he dies.

3) Everything that happens in the series happens inside a virtual world, and after the virtual world is purified, everyone from the real world who lived/died in the virtual world returns to the real world with all their memories wiped and they go back to their normal lives.

Which one do you feel most likely fits the series ending? You can decide.
As for the 50 years, outside of the story, that's just China no-homo censorship bullshit. Can't have Jiushi be young and gay when he reunites with LanZhu, obvs, he has to be old and unable to have any kind of 'romance'. lol It was the next best thing to killing one of them off.

Yeah, since The Spirealm decided to sell outside of China, quite a few are following suit.

I personally loved Trapped in Osaka, even with only 4 eps and a low budget, it was more interesting, well acted and depicted than most 12 ep BLs, and the two MLs are 🤌As for Moon and Dust, I dropped that, blegh. I also REALLY liked The Sparkle in Your Eye, so well done.

It was probably a bath bomb.

Well it took me a long ass time but I finally finished this rn. This was an odd one, not over all in a good way unfortunately, but I watched it for Mark anyway. Many comments said the last two eps were better but I didn't really feel anything different, except the pacing hastened a lot. In the end, it's a 6.5 for me (and even that feels a tad generous, but I think the actors did what they could with the material) so, it's not Mark or Ohms or any of the cast's fault, just, whatever this script was, it should not have made it out of someone's draft folder.

Yeeees 😭 it's so short but so gooooooooood.

Just rando fyi: The Spirealm was the one to break through, it was first taken down for sneaking its way passed censorship with a short episode format, but even censored it was too gay for the censors, so it got pulled off iQiyi very quickly. But the producers were clever, they dropped ALL eps at once, and in the mere few hours before it was taken down, fans had downloaded and started to distribute the show with AI subs and it gained popularity.
Eventually, the producers sold it outside of China for a proper re-release.

Meet You at the Blossom was released before Blue Canvas, but Blue Canvas was the next BL properly produced in China that was taken down, so they eventually sold the show outside the country to be re-released like The Spirealm. MYatB was directly filmed and released outside of China, which is what other Chinese producers are doing now to avoid any issues from the Mainland. So there are several more being released.

You might be better off not knowing what omegaverse is tbh. Just saying. The omegaverse got really popular through fanfiction, but its primary focus has some dubious ass themes. No judgement if you like it though, I'm not against omegaverse as a fiction genre, BUT I do not think it belongs in any kind of live adaptation, ever. I actually lowkey feel bad for the actors. lol

FINALLY it's up. Really enjoying this.

The lack of depth or proper flesh in this story is sadly because they probably wanted to make something with a Final Destination vibe (have you watched the latest one? Damn they really tied all the films up perfectly!), where Leap Day is about death coming for people destined to die, but unlike FD, GMMTV could never kill off a main character for fear or fan backlash or losing money so what we get is a story where they're gonna do some stuff that seems vaguely dangerous and immoral but is poorly explained, and ultimately, they're all still good loveable mains and it'll be a happy ending. I was keen for this show when it dropped, but it hasn't turned out to be much on the plot side of things.

They be pulling connections to those vague ass paintings out of thin air. The fold creases and clock theory would have made more sense if previously it had been noted that Ozone hates his drawings folded, or never folds them or something, the it might have stood out.
