This episode was so good! I really love how they follow the novel so authentically. And now another week of waiting, with some IG “sips” to both quench and ignite our thirst.
From a few comments, I can tell some viewers are new to Omegaverse, especially with heats and ruts. This is on par with what is normal for Omegaverse stories. The heat/rut means they revert to their instinctual minds, casting aside most human social norms. Their second gender brain takes over. In Hua Yong’s case, he’s an enigma, so all rules kind of get tossed to the side for him- except the mating fever- he can’t control his instincts in that state. Unfortunately for Shao Yu to have been near him at that time. The chain in a locked room was supposed to be a safeguard, but those idiot “kidnappers” (sent by a person I won’t spoil) went in, inciting an enigma in rut with mating fever to break the chain that held him back last time. (In the Omegaverse, the chain would be specially fortified or enhanced with suppressant properties for an Alpha in rut. Hua Yong likely had his company make it even stronger for him. So him snapping the chain would have been a significant show of strength in the face of an enigma’s instinctual response to intruders. The unfortunate side effect for Shao Yu is that he’s now loose and still under mating fever.
In reading the comments, I feel like those talking about the lighting aren’t considering the camera. I’m glad they made it lighter, otherwise we’d be watching shadows in the dark. Creative darkness is better. I hate watching dramas where the dark is dark and you barely see movement. Like the lighting crew were at lunch when they filmed those scenes. Frustrating af, personally. Just imagine they’re in a dark room with little to no light and also impeded by their second gender instincts to mate- triggered by rut in Hua Yong’s case and triggered by an omega’s heat in Wen Leng’s case (alphas are instinctively triggered to respond to an omega in heat; the greater the compatibility, the stronger the trigger response)- he has no clue who he was with that night because of what will likely be revealed later. In his mind, an omega tricked him, further supporting his aversion to omegas as “filthy” and “dirty”. His reason for this mindset, despite him being an alpha who should be attracted to omegas, is revealed later. The point is, this mindset usually overrides his instinct in regular interactions with omegas, but his mind can’t beat the secondaryy gender instinct to mate with an omega in heat with such a high compatibility level. Like a switch in his brain.
He’ll be dumb for a long while yet though, much to the viewers’ consternation. His biases against omegas “helps” him overlook obvious signs and clues.
ATP I’m watching because of the time I’ve put in and our MLs are attractive. But I’m expecting a rushed train wreck after today’s episode and the preview for EP11.
How did the screenwriter for Unknown make this? The dichotomy is crazy.
Episode 10What can I even say? I’ve been loving this series since the start, but wow… when it comes to fight…
Everything you said is spot on. I am not sure how this messy series will end in 2 episodes. Only a cliffhanger makes sense. But I really don’t want to stick around for a part 2… This episode was a whole cluster of WTF unbelievable scene after scene. Claustrophobia is not a life or death phobia. A few seconds in a locked and he’s gonna die? Nah.
Find My Boyfriend had me rolling! It really was like that. And the rope… He didn’t even tie it tight or complicated. 😮💨 I know they needed him to take care of our poor unconvincing “delinquent”, but they could have found a different, more believable way. How does him having claustrophobia finally get the ex to believe he’s not Zefang when there were WAY MORE CONVINCING clues before this? What kind of lazy leap writing is this? Unnecessary how long old boy has been unconvinced in this series, wasting valuable minutes on a storyline when we still have to solve the body issue and the fact that Zefang in spirit mode has been hanging around for a while now.
The preview for the next episode- finally but in episode 11? What an odd pacing this series has been.
oh my this is bitter sweet i would like to believe that the guy at the end is him but he had a memory loss yayyyy
It is him. TianYu went back and changed the past so Xiang would not go to Taipei to experience all the things that led to his death. From the ending, we get to know that he did change the past through those rewritten letters because XiaXia doesn’t recognize him in the same way she used to and Xiang is no longer going by his adopted name, but by his original name, Jin Run Fa.
(The tag of prolonged nudity is VASTLY misleading. They’re shirtless men. 🙄)
I put this off for a while but finally decided to knock it off my list. I’m glad I did. I really like second chance time travel stories. I enjoyed this one. The acting, cinematography, and dialogue really worked for this.
Like, I want to watch because I love Park Jin Young’s acting, but the content and comments are making me wonder if I should. I love revenge dramas like My Name and Mercy for None. This sounds 1000x darker.
I don’t like the architect at all. I thought he may like Tuo, but the way he looked at Junxi makes me wonder… But then the preview has me going WTF Tuo! This guy needs to be set straight, quickly! Thankfully, they clear things up quickly in this series, so I’m sure it’ll resolve next week. But still, architect guy is a no for me. 👎🏽(Just realized he’s the younger step-brother in HIStory 4!)
My short recap (sorry, watching before work so I’m in a hurry): Sweet moments as they navigate work and their relationship. Tuo’s dad is typical and expected. I’m not sure why Tuo needs his permission when he’s grown. Maybe to keep the place? And the blocking of girls who like Junxi for his appearance but don’t know him- well, Junxi isn’t mad so it is what it is. I liked how he’s chasing after Tuo and initiating physical contact first. Again, sweet moments. Just put the architect guy in his place, please!
It’s like Thailand only has Engineering and Med programs at their universities. No one does anything else? Oh!…
I’ve seen it. I’m one of the few who didn’t like it. I’m not a huge fan of Ohm. I preferred Between Us. Ohm was in that, but I could skip through his parts for the most part.
From the comments, sounds like I’m okay waiting until next week to watch- if I continue at all. It was already difficult to get through up to this point.

Ah. I also do that on my Notes app. Helps for those dramas not added here for whatever reason. That list has over 600. I also add emoticon codes for type, country, genre. platform, whether they are a novel or webtoon adaptation, and my overall rewatch rate (using 💗 or ❤️🔥). I have color coded font for TBAs and already released for my watchlist thee, too. But I like the hours/days/episode count here to really drive home my addiction level. 😂

Japan 🇯🇵 : (Also only BLs) The thing about Japanese BLs is that there are a lot of anime-like expressions and internal monologues. They are not for everyone, but each JBL offers a deeper meaning they are trying to convey that the characters are struggling with and need to overcome. If you find those, you will likely find more enjoyment in the series.
