In four years here’s what I was hoping for him but didn’t see it in a flash back seen - great experiences with men who teach him how to love (NC scenes a bonus) - good friendships - success at school - distance and perspective about his “brother” - love for himself
The entire comments section is hidden under spoilers. That tells you something about the complexity of this series. It hit me like a slap in the face. Like a car wreck I couldn’t turn away from. Disturbing yet hopeful. I can’t quite figure it out.
I found it frustrating as well but only insomuch that they skipped over Yuan’s life in America. You don’t…
Exactly. Hopefully this will be revealed in upping episodes but we’re run out of time in the series. Notwithstanding I still think the series is one of the best out there.
I found episode 7 disappointing, rather treacly in a series that has been emotionally deft so far and, unfortunately…
I found it frustrating as well but only insomuch that they skipped over Yuan’s life in America. You don’t know if he moved on to other relationships, if he let go, matured or what. It’s annoying. It’s clear he still cares for Wei, but the it’s unclear. I recognize it’s a plot device but I found it to be a filler episode.
Finally saw ep 7 and it was so breathtaking…my heart is pounding…the music, the artistry, the subtle butclear…
Wei’s love language is acts of service. He was unable to immediately return romantic love to Yuan but as he felt the emptiness of Yuan’s absence he shows his love by caring for his room and things. This is the first step to his heart opening.
There is one series I wait patiently for every week and that is Unknown. It’s a masterpiece in every way but I will say I was somewhat disappointed with Episode 7 in that it did not reveal what Yuan’s experiences in the US other than a short scene. It made me realize I view this whole series from Yuan’s perspective and when I don’t see much storyline on him I’m sad. 😞
I wish I could say the tale of the overworked exploited Japanese office worker was not not based on reality but it sorely is. The time I spent in Japan I saw this many times.. I found this part of the story so frustrating but realistic. I loved the patient kindness Kai had for Wateri. It’s such a beautiful story.
Each next episode is making me even more sure about one thing - we are watching a masterpiece here. The portrayal…
I agree. There is a lot of attention to detail. I watch every episode practically without blinking, I swear I have myopia. It’s like everyone is operating on different levels of consciousness. Yuan is wide awake fully living his experience of loving Wei but everyone else is only partially awake to Yuan’s reality. Once they all wake up to what is going on it will be like an explosion. 💥
It reminded me of a car crash, you know how everything is goes slow? I had to pause a few times to see the progress of the episode because it was painfully slow.
