This was quite nice! Better than I expected! I liked the BTS scenes at the end as well. There were some funny moments in the drama too.

If they were cheating on Junxi I could have agreed that they were in the wrong to move on to Tuo but it was them crushing on him because he was cute. Why they didn't reject Tuo is a plot hole of the script because it doesn't make sense that every single girl would prefer Tuo over Junxi just coz he approached him or didn't go after Junxi later when they realised they were tricked by Tuo. All this is done so that the story is less complicated. But it doesn't reflect reality. Unless Tuo somehow convinced them to not pursue Junxi. Again, it's just the script writer trying to make the story uncomplicated on that front. In fact, I would have prefered to see Tuo handle those complications instead of this architect mentor in the picture. What would he do if a girl did end up going back to Junxi and Junxi agreed to date her?
Guess we'll never know.

As for what Junxi wants, it is probably because of the way their relationship started. Him being pushed into it rather than wanting to be in a relationship with Tuo on his own terms. Tuo needs to give Junxi space to decide for himself.

Question - what is in the uncut version? I can see it is rated 18.

The way I see the girls was them having a crush on Jun Xi the way many fans have crushes on celebs and express their love for their celebs but they are always out of reach. Then they meet a person who seems to like them and being with that person seems more reasonable than hoping for a chance with your crush. This person was Tuo but he didn't want to be with those fawning over Junxi either. He just didn't want anyone to be with Junxi. He wanted him all to himself so Junxi never had a chance to be in a relationship because he was being sabotaged.
Junxi chose to forgive him and that's fine. I just mean that I would not appreciate this behaviour if I were in his shoes. I would be upset and would wonder if I really know this person. It's like you see a friend deal with a person you consider a red flag but in the end, they have to make their own decisions even if you dislike it. Tuo knew what he did was wrong which is why he ran. But he owes the girls he dated an apology. They might have felt a lot of regret agreeing to be with him. At least one girl was shown to not be over the deceit.
All's fair in love and war is fine for the books but in reality, I don't believe all is fair. It is not right to hurt innocent people.
I'm sure Junxi isn't perfect either but what he's done is so minor in comparison. Again, it's just from my POV. You of course have the right to view things differently. Everyone has different red lines and what their consider toxic so your thoughts are fair in that sense. I just feel differently.
There probably won't be a cheating trope but maybe a misunderstanding along those lines. But if there is cheating that would be an intolerable offence.

I've seen that but it is a prequel so I wanted to know if they have any progress in this one. But tbh The Time Of Fever is really good if you ever decide to watch it.

Yeah unfortunately, that's a common theme in many BLs. Not sure why they normalise this kind of behaviour and sell it as romantic?

Why do they all end badly?

Also if anyone else is also currently watching, let me know. We can discuss together.

I like the changes this adaptation made from Addicted. Less red flag behaviour. Though I have only watched 8 episodes.
I also got ahead of myself and watched an edit of theirs because I wanted to know what the ending is like. I can understand why so many were crying.
Can someone spoil the novel story for me? Or tell me from what chapter they start liking each other?

Found out yesterday that I watched a censored version when I couldn't remember half the clips I saw on youtube. 😂

Thanks! I ended up watching the drama all over again coz I couldn't find the movie. 😂

I thought it was just me. This one especially. I thought it was because not much happened.

Yeah, even if he doesn't cheat, there will be some misunderstanding or jealousy trope. But still hoping no one is getting attack. Makes me uncomfortable even if it's off screen. They just resolved their issues so I want them to have a clean start. Let's see.

Oh I didn't see the preview. I generally don't watch them coz they can be misleading. The episodes are so short anyway, it's better to be surprised. But I hope he didn't attack him. From ep6, I couldn't tell that he was creepy personally just that he seemed to be happy that Han Tao and Jun Xi are friends. That's why I thought they might be introducing him as a love interest or something of the sort.

I didn't like what Han Tao did to Jun Xi. He sabotaged any potential relationship. And the girls can't be called fickle if they never even got a chance to be with Jun Xi and get to know him. Instead they got manipulated into a relationship with a guy that just broke their heart. It would be fair if all the girls hate Han Tao. He was the fickle one who was willing to date girls because he had no courage to confess to Jun Xi. Even the way he got together with Jun Xi was manipulative. He forced himself onto him.
Also when Jun Xi wanted distance, he even stopped being friends which is not what Jun Xi wanted. That also felt very manipulative to me. It was all or nothing and clearly Jun Xi cares too deeply for Han Tao to accept a complete break.
All those poor girls did was like Jun Xi from afar but never got a chance to explore a real relationship. They didn't force themselves onto Jun Xi at least.
Jun Xi is kind that he forgave Han Tao for everything. Hopefully there is no cheating trope coming now.
PS: As a drama, the show is interesting but I will still criticise a character if I find their behaviour questionable.

Me too. I didn't appreciate that from Han Tuo even if Jun Xi forgave him.

Didn't enjoy ep6. Seems like they are going to introduce a love triangle.

Another garbage human still having a career.

I get what you mean. The grandfather doesn't have a control over the situation so it's not like he is holding onto the body or stole it from his grandson. He is waiting to give it back.
As for the grandson, the only thing we know about him is he is a terrible person. No one at his school liked him including the other lead. And he knows it is the grandfather's soul in that body.
It is an interesting story whether you like it or dislike it, it makes you curious so might as well start and decide for yourself.

Is that the uncut version?
