Sorry honey but you have to be prepared 😭😭😭

Yesss! He can literally fuck with his boyfriend in front of his mother but somehow he’s still homophobic towards his brother’s relationship 🤡

The way everyone keeps blaming Lu Feng is wild. Yi Chen willingly loved him, willingly chose him, and yet somehow the entire responsibility gets dumped on Lu Feng. 🤡

AND THE BROTHER?! He’s driving me insane. Did he hit his head off-screen and conveniently forget that he was the one hiding the messages? Because the way he’s acting, you’d think he had absolutely nothing to do with this whole situation.

The brother is an unbearable pain in the ass. THE AUDACITY of saying to Lu Feng over and over again that he ruined his brother and their family. And then he’s gay as well.
The level of hypocrisy he displays is astounding

let’s say that happiness left the chat 💀

At this point it feels like the “Asian household” argument only applies to Yi Chen.

People use it to justify every decision he makes, but somehow Lu Feng is expected to walk away from his family, endure abuse, fight for the relationship, and sacrifice everything without hesitation.

Totally!

It was really difficult to watch and she was utterly mean with her son. And what makes this especially painful to watch is that Yi Chen is being pressured to sacrifice his own happiness, his relationship, and ultimately his future, all to satisfy someone else’s fears and prejudices. That’s not love. That’s control.

And honestly, while I understand that family is important, I completely understand Lu Feng choosing to distance himself from people who refuse to accept him for who he is. If my parents tried to force me into a marriage because of their own prejudices, I would walk away too.

THIS! 👏🏻👏🏻
A parent should NEVER make their child feel ashamed of who they are or who they love. Ever.

And personally, I find it disturbing how quickly people look for excuses the moment the person being homophobic is a mother. Being a parent doesn’t automatically make your actions understandable or acceptable. Sometimes parents are wrong, and sometimes they deeply hurt their children.

She was genuinely horrible

I’m queer, and unfortunately I know very well how real people like her are.

I actually agree with you that she’s realistic, and maybe that’s exactly why I react so strongly to her. The problem isn’t that I don’t understand where she’s coming from. It’s that I personally can’t empathize with someone who tells their child that their love is shameful, wrong, or that they somehow “made” someone else gay.

If anything, characters like her make me angry precisely because they hit a little too close to home. The same goes for the other parents in this story. I understand their role in the narrative and why they’re there, but watching them hurts because many queer people have heard versions of those same words in real life.

So yes, I agree that she’s realistic. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what makes her so upsetting to watch for me. 💔

I’m actually sad that she didn’t followed her husband 🥰
I can’t stand her and her homophobic beliefs.
Seeing her basically imply that one son somehow “made” the other gay or “infected” him with it was honestly horrible to watch.
I understand that she’s a product of her environment and her beliefs, but that doesn’t make what she’s saying any less hurtful. At some point, your child should come before your prejudice.
And I don’t care how conservative or homophobic a society is supposed to be. If there’s one place where you should feel loved and accepted, it should be your own family.

Guys, please, don’t come at me with the novel. I haven’t read it, I don’t plan to read it, and I’m commenting on the EPISODE, not the book. Okay? Great.

Now that that’s out of the way… this episode was absolutely brutal.

We went from Yi Chen literally begging Lu Feng not to leave him, telling him they’d stay together forever, to all of this. And honestly, the mother’s homophobia was painful to watch. Every time she opens her mouth, she somehow manages to make everything worse.

And don’t even get me started on the brother. The audacity of this man to keep blaming Lu Feng for hurting Yi Chen in the past when HE was the one hiding the messages. He gets to live his life, be with the person he loves, make his own choices, and somehow that’s fine. But when it comes to Yi Chen, suddenly sacrifices have to be made. Yi Chen has to give up the person he loves. Yi Chen has to bend to the family’s expectations. The double standard is driving me insane.

I’m not saying Lu Feng is a saint, for the love of God, but at this point it’s genuinely difficult for me to be mad at him. VERY difficult.

Because what we’re actually seeing is someone being constantly told that his relationship is wrong, shameful, disgusting, that he should be ashamed of who he loves. They keep treating Lu Feng and Yi Chen like their love is some kind of problem that needs to be “fixed.” And honestly? Put yourselves in his shoes for a second. It’s horrible. Absolutely horrible.

Anyway, this episode destroyed me. I’m still in shock, and I’m genuinely terrified of tomorrow’s episode. 😭

Bestie, I’m afraid you need to prepare yourself because from this episode onward the comment section is going to be an absolute war zone 😭 Not just here, but on every social media platform too 🫠

I think a lot of it comes from the fact that this adaptation has done a much better job at making viewers empathize with Lu Feng. Many people haven’t read the novel or watched the movies, so they’re judging the story based on what the series has shown so far. From that perspective, they see someone who gave up everything for the person he loved and got hurt in return.

That doesn’t mean Yi Chen deserves every bad thing that might happen to him, though.

According to Ayden we will suffer for all the six remaining episodes 😭😭😭😭

This better have an happy ending because the fuck was that?

We’re gonna cry for two days straight 😭

And you’re really smart because the new trailers are pure pain

This 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Honestly this discourse is so funny to me because in the Double Helix comments we are literally fighting for our lives every day trying to explain the genre to people who don’t understand it 😭 like “yes Lu Feng IS a black flag, no we are NOT justifying his actions, we are just enjoying a fictional story” 😂

Meanwhile here it feels like the complete opposite. Some people are throwing around labels so easily just because Kritt is jealous or possessive. That man is everything he can to protect and help Wayu, but suddenly he’s a toxic monster just because he gets jealous over his OWN boyfriend??? Like.. what? 🥲

And I’m genuinely shocked at the reactions to their sexual dynamic because are there REALLY people who think doing something a little spicy with your partner is enough to make someone a red flag now? 💀
Wayu is clearly into that dynamic too. He likes when Kritt gets possessive/authoritative, he literally flirts back with it 😭 people are acting as if Kritt is forcing him into something when the series makes it painfully obvious that this is part of their consensual relationship dynamic.

At this point I feel like some people see jealousy + kinky behavior in fiction and immediately start throwing the word “abusive” around without understanding the difference between actual toxic behavior and two adults enjoying a dynamic together 😭
