I watched episode 22, and it inspired a story for me.
One day, a female CEO of a large company discovered that her secret money-making plan had been discovered and stolen by a rival company.
She was furious, believing there must be a mole within the company. An investigation revealed that an intern had revealed the plan's name while boasting.
She blamed the employee: "Because of you, your colleagues lost their jobs. Because of you, the company is going to go bankrupt. You ruined this city, this country, this earth, this universe. It's all your fault." So she reported the situation to the board of directors. Would the board accept her reasoning?
I think the board would tell the female CEO: "You're really crazy. As the CEO, you're responsible for setting rules and issuing orders; employees follow your rules and orders. You refuse to take responsibility and instead hold a junior employee, or even a non-permanent employee, responsible for this loss? Are you kidding me? If the plan's name is so important, why not classify it as confidential and keep it from him? After something goes wrong, you blame a low-level employee who knows nothing? You're fired."
In reality, there are always bosses/teachers who assign tasks to subordinates, and after the subordinates/students submit their work, they say, "This isn't what I wanted. It's wrong here. It's wrong there." Why didn't they state their requirements earlier? Okay! I need this job; the boss is always right. But I hope that the fictional world won't be so cruel. It's unreasonable to blame someone who knows nothing.

I feel incredibly lucky to have seen such an excellent work as "To My Shore."

After watching RL, I stopped watching BL dramas for several months. Then, in December 2025, I randomly saw a TMS synopsis, something like "A wealthy Thai heir falls for a director." I thought, "A rich and powerful person falls for a weaker person and helps him solve his problems." A simple, light, and typical hero saves the damsel—it seemed like a good choice for restart watching BL dramas.

Who knew that as soon as I started watching, I was blown away (this handsome guy with a two-faced personality, this one-dimensional mirror, this handsome smart director), my heart was pounding, and I was completely captivated.

Undoubtedly, the story, the actors' performances, the chemistry, etc., of "To My Shore" are all top-notch. However, it's a pity that the marketing/promotion was so weak (probably due to a lack of budget).

"ABO Desire" was promoted before its premiere, and there was also promotion during its broadcast. "Revenged Love" was a master in terms of marketing and promotion, with a very planned and rhythmic approach. Official YouTube videos, behind-the-scenes footage, highlight moments, and event, information were all readily available.

"To My Shore" had virtually no marketing or promotion, so I had no idea about TMS before watching the show. I think it's a real shame that such an excellent show went unnoticed. Fortunately, many fans actively promoted it, editing videos, reactions, gradually introducing the show to the public.

Now, "To My Shore" has gained some recognition (I personally believe this is entirely due to fan promotion, although it's still not as popular as the aforementioned shows), and I hope more people will learn about the two lead actors. They deserve more work and commercial opportunities.

Thanks to the "To My Shore" team for creating such an excellent show, to the enthusiastic viewers for their promotion, and to the insightful analyses in the comments section, I had a truly enjoyable experience.

I disagree with you. I think you're being a bit harsh on Chinese actors.
Thailand and Taiwan are very welcoming to BL, where actors are only praised and not subject to social pressure. Japan and South Korea have recently begun to accept BL, and even if actors aren't praised, they still face no social pressure. Chinese actors, however, face social pressure. Performing BL in China is a high-risk gamble.
Once you achieve fame, you must face the test of being ruined. Actors from Untamed to Word of Honor to Revenged Love have all experienced the standard process of being ruined.
The standard process:
1. Sudden accusations/scandals.
2. Moral judges misinterpret the fact + YouTubers fan the flames to attract attention.
3. Sponsors demand termination and compensation + significantly reduces the actor's fanbase.
4. The actor's career is ruined, and they may even be burdened with debt.
XZ case:
1. One of Xz's fans filed a complaint against AO3 (fact)
2. Moral judges misinterpreted the fact, holding Xz responsible for the fan's behavior (everyone should be responsible for their own actions, not others) + YouTubers pointed out that Xz's image had collapsed.
3. Prompted sponsors to demand termination and compensation + drastically reduced the actor's fanbase (fortunately unsuccessful)
4. Xz took a break from work and resumed his career (fortunately, it didn't ruin the actor's career)
Zi Yu case
1. Zi Yu get accused of infidelity. Zi Yu apologized, admitting to having a girlfriend (fact)
2. Moral judges misinterpreted the fact, ZiYu apologized for infidelity + YouTubers pointed out that Zi Yu image had collapsed
3. No (ZiYu has no sponsors) + drastically reduced the actor's fanbase (unsuccessful, only a small number).
4. Resumed his career, but the malice charges are still ongoing.

Meen throw punches is so brutal!
But, I love it! Brutal and very sexy!
Shit! I found out my dark side and look like i not alone!
