I feel that there is so much nuance to this story in the novel that just isn't translating well in the drama. I could understand that the brothers dynamic wasn't great but when they leave so much out, it becomes so hard to empathise with Hua Yong. It is sort of a disservice to the character.

Disclosure: I don't like Hua Yong (now those who do can skip this post)

Ep13: The depictions of Hua Yong get stranger even when trying to give him a sad back story. He comes across as an obsessed stalker which is the least worst thing about him atp. But as others said, if he wasn't attractive or playing the ML, most wouldn't like him and this would be a thriller rather than a romance drama.

Regarding his brother, he deserved a beating for instigating him and tearing up the photo but why was there so much blood? Were they suggesting he cut off his brother's arm/hand? And Hua Yong taping it together with his brother's blood all over the painting (or was it a photo) just makes Hua Yong look even crazier. 🤷‍♀️

I feel like the blood was unnecessary. Him putting the picture together would have been more sentimental. The blood makes it look like his brother was dead since we never saw the brother's condition. And even if he only seriously injured his brother, wouldn't he have gotten in trouble with the law for it?

Even when I'm supposed to sympathise with Hua Yong, he is depicted as insane. Yet I get called a hater when this is the way he is written. 🙃 Anyway, I just want to know what happened to the brother.

Yes since we invested time in it so we have the right to criticise a show unlike those who make personal comments because they can't agree to disagree. You lot are no different than that haters of actors. You only see actors as humans but it's okay to bully viewers for even the most tiniest of criticism.

Well some people actually hate rape tropes while others love it and make excuses for it and sly comments against anyone speaking out against romanticising rape just because they are obsessed with the actors physical appearance.

If things are going to be set up in the same way as the novel, then I have given up hope on this show.

Haha yeah I noticed this too. Why did they stop talking? The direction is quite amateurish and it shows in all these little ways and ends up looking unnatural.

Quite tame because of censorship. There are a few kisses and many blurry scenes. Just one scene that I'm not sure how it got past censorship.

They captured it better in the BTS than the actual show which is a shame.

🥲 damn it

He's dropped by himself multiple times. That was also him intruding. He made so many horrible comments on Gao Tu and his omega. I'd say he's already crossed several lines. Hiring a PI would be less offensive than the way he talks at this point.

That might be why the subs were poor.

Glad this is finally over. I would have dropped if I weren't watching on-going. Per's proposal prank was so annoying that I wanted to beat him up. What a note to end things on.

I feel like a lot of the dialogues in this show were a let down.

Hope this doesn't happen in the very last episode then.

Yes, I used kisskh too. I couldn't understand some of Hao Tu's explanations and Sheng Shao You's office dialogues (not important I guess). I might do a rewatch at some point.

I can't believe Gao Tu has now been suffering for 13 episodes. Only 3 episodes left. This man deserves better.
Shen Wen Lan has so much money. He couldn't hire a private investigator to find out if Gao Tu has a partner or not?
At this point I wonder if he will even accept Gao Tu if he finds out he's an omega or will he start fighting with him in the final episodes as well?

It doesn't get much better. If anything it gets worse. There is a slight improvement in the latest episode but I hate that Gao Tu is made to care for a person like Shen Wen Lang in this show.

Ep13 subs weren't good I feel. Where did you all watch it?

I kinda liked that there were more answers this season actually but somehow I wasn't really thrilled with the execution of the season. Like last season I liked the set up and mystery but not the ending. If they are doing a season 3, I hope they can make it more thrilling and hopefully not take so long between seasons.

I never even knew such statistics were available. I haven't watched ep11 but I will definitely be increasing my rating to 9+ once I do. Right now it is an 8.

Wow I want to smack the girlfriend.
