This Friday, are we about to have the iconic bath scene? Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for Lu Feng's…
This comment section is going to be a war zone šš« Everyone says theyāre ready for Lu Fengās revenge era until Lu Feng actually starts getting revenge š
And yes, I think weāre finally getting the bath scene š
I think thatās exactly what he expected.The problem is that Lu Feng loved him so unconditionally for so long…
I actually see your point, and I agree that people often overlook Yi Chenās flaws while focusing only on Lu Fengās. Iāve always thought both of them were toxic in different ways.
That said, I still think the necklace scene felt a little manipulative. Not because I think Yi Chen was trying to hurt Lu Feng, but because it felt like he knew exactly what that necklace meant and what kind of reaction it could get from him.
At the same time, I completely understand why he did it. He was hurt, he still had feelings for him, and part of him probably wanted to know if he still mattered. Thatās what makes the scene so interesting to me šš
So I donāt really see it as malicious manipulation, but I also donāt see it as a completely innocent gesture. It felt like a very human reaction from someone who was still emotionally attached and hoping for a response
That scene in Episode 8 left me dumbfounded. I can't understand why Yi Chen went back to find Lu Feng after all…
I think thatās exactly what he expected.
The problem is that Lu Feng loved him so unconditionally for so long that YC started taking that love for granted. Deep down, I think he genuinely believed that no matter how much time had passed, no matter how much pain he had caused, Lu Feng would still be there waiting for him. And honestly? The fact that he showed up wearing the ring necklace and even took off his glasses before going into the office made it feel like he already knew exactly which emotional buttons to push.
I agree. I see a lot of people comparing Lu Feng's family and Yi Chen's family to justify Yi Chen's choice. His…
Exactly!!! šš»šš»šš»
This is what frustrates me the most. People keep talking as if Lulu's choice was somehow easier because his father was abusive, as if being cut off by your family, losing your name, your inheritance, and everything you've ever known isn't terrifying. Do they think Lulu wasn't scared? Do they think he didn't love his family at all? Did we all collectively forget the scene where he cried after his father's death?
And it frustrates me terribly that people often talk as if the only thing Yi Chen did was agree to the marriage.
But thatās not what happened.
Lulu was willing to lose everything for Yi Chen. Even after finding out about the marriage, he was still ready to be disowned because, for him, nothing mattered more than being with Yi Chen. His sister literally had to force him to think rationally.
Meanwhile, Yi Chen didnāt just end the relationship. He blocked Luluās number, threw away his SIM card, disappeared for five years, and continued a marriage he never wanted long after his motherās death.
People reduce the discussion to āhe was forced to get married,ā but the marriage was only the beginning. The years that followed were also a series of choices, and those choices had consequences for everyone involved.
The amount of people defending Yi Chenās mother is honestly concerning.
You can sympathize with Yi Chen without pretending his motherās request was reasonable. A parent asking their gay child to leave the person they love, marry someone else, and become ānormalā is not an act of love. Itās homophobia. You can tell to yourself what you want to sleep good at night but itās still homophobia.
Also there is a reason why viewers compare Yi Chen and Lulu in the first place.
And it might be a shock, but Itās not because they hate Yi Chen. Itās because the story gives us a direct comparison: both men were asked to give up the person they loved for their families. Lulu refused. Yi Chen didnāt.
That doesnāt make Yi Chen a bad person. It doesnāt mean he didnāt love Lulu. It means that he chose to act in that way. And people are allowed to have an opinion about that.
But please stop acting as if Luluās sacrifice was somehow easier, or as if Yi Chenās mother was justified because she was dying.
A deathbed wish doesnāt automatically become morally right.
The airport videos are genuinely concerning. I was feeling sick while watching them šš
Hopefully with what happened at Zhang Lingheās event this news will be overshadowed by that one. (But in both cases itās awful what happened and China should really do something about saesangs)
I don't understand,everybody talk about how many sacrifice Lufeng did for Yichen,sacrifices?. He is not even the…
I donāt think anyone is saying Yi Chen should have abandoned his mother while she was dying.
What many of us struggle with is the idea that his only option was to agree to her demands.
He could have stayed by her side, cared for her, supported her, and still refused to give up his relationship and his identity. Maybe some of you donāt fully realize how serious it is to ask a gay son to stop being gay, and to use a deathbed wish as moral pressure to make him comply. Thatās not a small request. Thatās asking someone to sacrifice a fundamental part of who they are. A dying parent deserves compassion. That doesnāt mean they are entitled to ask their child to spend years pretending to be someone theyāre not.
I can understand why Yi Chen felt trapped. What I canāt agree with is treating his motherās request as reasonable just because she was dying.
I donāt understand why some people act like itās mandatory to hate Lu Feng.
Or like having a negative opinion of Yi Chenās choices automatically means youāre missing the point.
Be honest for a second. If you gave up your family name, your inheritance, your future and your relationship with your family for someone, and they still chose to leave you to appease their mother, would you really be this understanding?
Because I donāt believe most people would.
If we actually put ourselves in Lu Fengās shoes, a lot more people would understand why heās angry.
Has he reacted badly at times? Sure.
But letās look at what happened to him.
He was beaten. Sent away. Threatened. Forced to hide. He lost his father. He spent years being treated like a problem that needed fixing.
And even now, heās once again being painted as the villain because heās gay.
Thatās literally the accusation being thrown at him. That he ācorruptedā Yi Chen. That his homosexuality ruined Yi Chenās life.
Meanwhile Yi Chenās brother went from being openly homophobic to openly dating a man and flirting with him in front of his mother, and somehow nobody seems nearly as concerned.
Because the burden of being ānormalā in that family has always fallen on Yi Chen.
So yes, I think itās completely understandable that people donāt approve of what happened.
And letās not forget the five years that were thrown away. Five years of separation. Five years of loneliness. Five years of a marriage that wasnāt even a real marriage.
Five years.
Iām not saying Yi Chen is evil. Iām saying I donāt understand why sympathy is extended to everyone except Lu Feng.
And yes, I think weāre finally getting the bath scene š

He was pretty manipulative in my opinion
