Okay, I think we are back on track after this new arc started!! I mean there are still many questions being raised every day but now we are at least getting some answers and the editing doesn't feel as choppy as it did in the Capital arc!! Btw most cdrama I have watched tend to have a very pleasing strong start, then fumble a bit in the middle before getting back on track again lol

As for ep 25 my commentary will follow in the replies under spoiler tag ^^

Yep sweet happy ending ^^

Blocked?? I have no idea...Minority/Our youth which is the title of this manhwa the drama is based on is a very good story and it's even shounen ai I think so no too explicit scenes in it...Maybe cause of the bullying and domestic violence it has in the begining??

I just found out about this adaptation today from X!! The og manhwa has been one of my all time faves so to see it get an adaptation and bring the characters and their struggles, love, and whole journey to life is very exciting!! I hope they do this justice (tho I don't mind minor changes) and I will be tuning in for sure!! It's such a bummer tho that we only get 1 ep/week TT

Yes cause the og is a manhwa called Our Youth/Minority!! It's a great webtoon honestly one of my fave and to see it become a J-BL adaptation was so surprising!! I am so excited and hope they follow the og storyline well ><

Same Lmaoo When I was watching the ep yesterday I remember posing the ep and zooming in ><

Miaomiao's resemblance to the Mu ancestor might have smth to do with the system giving her those powers I think...Like the connection probably happened after this change to the plot occurred...The fact that she has forgotten her real world must be one of the side effects as well(as many have said already). Also, I think the resentful demon might be Mu Sheng's mother after all...It would serve as a nice tragic twist and have mother and son fight against eo...And I am sure the reason she turned resentful was probably the cause of what the Dowader concubine did to the Qilin mountain separating her from the man she loves and her son...Plus maybe smth to do with Mu yao's father (I think he wasn't a good man unlike what his daughter thinks and hurt her which is why she came back to kill the whole Mu clan). Now I am also VERY curious about Fuyi's master....Who is that old man? Could he be the author after all?? Is that why he is so knowledgeable??

Hm...Today's ep was okay!! Personally, I liked it since the plot moved a bit forward and some things got revealed, even tho there are still many things left to be covered overall!! I just hope those 8 eps will be enough and they won't end the drama sloppily...Also, today's ep felt a bit more well put together. I hope they will keep it up until the end cause the Capital arc with the bracelet was choppy af on some parts of the eps...Now about the missing kiss scenes, unlike most people here, the kisses are not a priority for me as long as the leads have good chemi & cute moments together (which they do) so I am okay with it ^^

Btw Some thoughts after watching ep 24 below tagged in spoiler!

True to that...Most Cdramas have strong begining but start to famble either in the ending part or mid-way through the drama...While krdama usually have better pacing overal! But these days lack a bit in their plots like there are still gems but more rarely than before...Cdrama on the other hand seem more creative! I guess u can say both have their strong and weak points ^^

Personally I will agree that Cdrama have picked up their pace in the last couple of years and made me tune into them more compared to Kdrama (tho there are still 4-5 gems every year). However Thail BL are definitely a far cry from representing the best BL series lmao So tho I like BL I would def NOT reccomend those (there are only 2-3 worthy every year and the rest 30+ are overrated trash basically thai dramas value quantity over quality) and BL is more than thai dramas is a genre of it's own ^^

Oh thank you! I feel better now lol He was already getting on my nerves in these 13 eps with his perfect scholar mode on basically living in his own bubble like "a pure lotus that was sheltered from rain" cause of his privileged background...I really want him to get that reality check while looking at our leads but I would hate to see him make advances at Duan Wu when she is separated from Yan Zi Jing.

Oh I see, thank you! So his mother's surname Mu has no relation to the Mu family of demon cathcher's and she is a succubus demon? That makes sense for that bracelet being his mother's then since it had to do with seduction/bewitchment! But does that mean she really used that on Mu Sheng's father or was it a real love token between them? Another question added lmao

I see thank you!

So from ep 14-19 we will have their romance and then after ep 19 starts their "break up" phase? (I already had a feeling this drama would use that trope from the way things went that why I asked TT)
So do we know how long their separation will last??
And thank you for answering ^^

THIS!! This latest arc felt so choppy TT They have cut out so many important scenes that could help us connect and understand the overall picture better...Like I am all for the viwers exercizing their brains a bit and not getting spoon fed everything but this is too much...At this point it's like solving a puzzle and taking guesses on what convo went down bts between the characters for their current actions...

I left this marinate until now but I couldn't hold back anymore and started it yesterday!!
I am currently up to ep 13 and what a pleasant surprise this was cause so far I am loving it!! ><

But I have a question below for those who have caught up to the latest eps or are novel readers!^^

Duan Wu and Yan Zi Jing have finally talked and opened their hearts to each other about their pasts...Does that mean that their romance is about to begin from here on? Also, will there be any big misunderstandings between the two at any future point that will lead to their separation/rift in their relationship? (I always hate that trope where one or both leads let misunderstandings break their bond and SML suddenly gets the spotlight and the leads separate until solving their issues etc. So I need time to prepare cause my frustration can rise quickly TT)

So in this ep we got the Marquis to summon Mu Sheng and reveal to him that they are indeed half-siblings (like most viewers were already speculating from all the clues) BUT what triggered him to do that and how could he so easily connect Mu Shengs background without even asking him? Cause the only thing the Marquis knew was that flashback of young Mu Sheng trying to hurt his father in their residence...Except if miaomiao realized their sibling relationship and told the Marquis everything she knew?
But still, this whole bracelet arc has been so choppy and leaves out many scenes, letting the audience draw their own conclusions about the conversations the characters "probably" had already!
Btw the current revelations also mean that Mu Sheng's human half comes from his father (the Marquis) and so his mother is the demon! However for him to be accepted by the crescent weapon Fuyi said that the owner's fam should have a demon catcher background and weld such skills...And from the cast intro, his mother's surname is Mu? But how is it possible for her to be a demon tho?
Also Miaomiao resembles the first Mu ancestor so much and they even have the same rainbow cores(after her awakening)! But the crescent weapon recocnized Mu sheng as the owner...And about the prophecy...What if both Musheng and miaomiao are needed to complete it?

I am watching the new ep rn and for some reason, the last couple of eps keep getting more choppy 😭

Further explanation below tagged as spoiler... If you have read the novel/manhua I don't mind spoilers, I just need some answers ><

I mean I wouldn't blame her...She basically sees them everyday and they feel like real human...Her close family in real life seems to also not be with her anymore and she just lives a hectic adult city life...Plus she has grown emotionally attached to the characters (esp Mu Sheng)...But I am sure the system will " wake her up".

Oh I guess that's a way you could put it! I do understand it better now tho I think it's a matter of us still missing part of the puzzle...Thanks for your insight tho!
