I'm assuming that it's 8 pm Taiwan time, which would be 12 noon UTC, as usual. The clock here is most likely to be wrong.

Check out the discussion forum for this drama (not visible in the app, you have to use the website). People have analysed this very thing and the characters' motivations and development. In short, it's to showcase what a coldhearted, dangerous bastard Chi Cheng is, especially to people who deceived and betrayed him. Then cue our naive little MC planning to deceive him... It's toned down a lot from the original story in the novel, but the story is at heart an unhinged fantasy, so you have to approach it with that in mind. Don't view it as a realistic LGBTQ story. To enjoy this, your expectations must be adjusted accordingly. If you cannot do that, this is not for you.

Because it's a pirate site that has to steal and upload the episodes from the legitimate sites

That's bromance though, isn't it?

I don't think THAT many of us are THAT unstable that we'd downvote it to the point that it would make the rating drop that much, lol. Most "emotionally unstable" fans here are super upset about the drop, some of us even making up (conspiracy) theories about it. Very few diehard fans would change their rating from 9-10 to 1 just because of a pause in airing.

Thine eyes do not deceive thee

It's a twitter thread, you need to be logged in to see the thread in the replies. But it's not Zi Yu talking, it's just rpf fanfic.

This is just fanfic, there's no source to where Zi Yu said all this

Yeah, the good Thai BLs get it mostly right as well, but so many of them are like "we have to add nc scenes now to get viewers" and have no understanding of build-up or context. I enjoy a good nc scene that fits in the narrative, but when it's just mindlessly shoehorned into an otherwise cutesy "puppy love" dynamic, it actually turns me off instead.

Oh we are going to be so well fed in the next few days!

People had trauma, they had severe ptsd flashbacks, they weren't reacting rationally. I hope they are all feeling better now

I did not say that. I said, call out the toxic fans, but don't hate on the shows. SHOWS. And you call me shameless. Yeah, I did read that before you edited it to embarrassing. I think anyone reading your latest comment can judge for themselves.I'm done trying to have a discussion with someone who can't even be civil. But I'm sure you're going to try and get the last word in anyway. Have at it, do your worst.

Yeah there's obviously malicious downvoting going on. Probably by bots or new, empty accounts. But it would be better if the MDL admins looked it over and removed the malicious downvotes. If we start doing the same (malicious downvoting), then we might be the ones ending up having our accounts blocked haha (and for good reason)

Haha, thank you, I'll take that as a compliment ;)It might very well be the Thai fans, I don't know. I just feel like it's saying "you beat up my kid so now I'm going to beat up yours" ...

What questions did you ask? You keep putting words in my mouth and asking me to explain why I said something I never said? I said, call out the toxic fans, and you keep saying I'm defending them? The only question you asked is "why should I listen to you", and you're right, there's no listening going on, is there?

Still not reading what I actually wrote, are you? You keep putting words in my mouth that I never wrote...

🙄🙄🙄🙄

You need to work on your reading comprehension. I never once said not to call out toxic behaviour in Thai fans. Quite the opposite in fact. I was trying to advocate against hate, not defend any toxic behaviour of the fans. But you'd rather block me than actually read what I said...

And I don't owe you my silence :) But that's fine, I don't enjoy interacting with haters.

So what is the difference between you and those fans, just spreading hate on something they don't like? Do you just want an excuse to be a hater? It's all a matter of opinion and preference. If you don't like it, just leave it be. Call out the toxic behaviour, sure. But if you're being toxic about it yourself, you're a pot calling the kettle black.
