He’s definitely not AI, lol. We went to school together, and he was top of the class in English, winning plenty of awards for literature, poems, and essays.

By “couple of photos,” they mean a few photos, not “couple” as in CC + WSW together.
In the story, WSW’s mum had already met CC when she was alive, but WSW’s dad passed away when WSW was little, so he never got the chance.

In many Asian cultures, we burn items for the deceased to “receive” in the afterlife — you’ve probably seen series where they burn fake money for this reason. Here, WSW is saying that if he burns a few photos of CC, his dad will receive them and finally see what CC looks like.

Yeah, even though it’s not streamed in China, Chinese residents can still watch it illegally — and once it blows up online, it can get messy fast. They’ll start harassing the actors, and I’m not sure if you’ve seen it yet, but there were literally thousands of Chinese fans harassing Zi Yu at the airport, even on the plane.

That’s probably why they want to finish the series two weeks early — to let things quiet down for the actors’ safety.

This is also exactly what happened with Addicted. It got so big that it caught the government’s attention, and that’s when it was banned. So to answer your question, even if it’s not officially streamed in China, Chinese residents can still access it illegally.

I’m honestly confused by your long post about “romanticization.” It’s really detailed, but I’m still not sure what exactly you’re referring to or what your main point is.

So, long story short, you’re saying Tuo and JunXi’s relationship isn’t abusive? Interesting choice of word, because that never crossed my mind. They’ve known each other for over 10 years, they’re together, and they’ve accepted each other as a couple now. I just don’t see what your point about “romanticization” has to do with their relationship at this stage.

Let me respond to your message properly, point by point.

First of all, I want to quote your exact words from 7 days ago when you replied to NLE:

“I do not have double standards when it comes to forced intimacy. I immediately call out problematic sexual behaviour when I see it on screen. Also, I'm an adult I can tell the difference between seducing someone into a kiss they didn't expect and forcing them into it.”

That’s where the contradiction begins.

You called out Tuo's bathroom kiss in Episode 1, describing it as “a bit jarring to watch,” and you were quick to criticise it. Fine, that’s your opinion. But when Episode 4 aired and HeYouMei literally locked the door, pushed Jun Xi onto a desk, and tried to kiss him without consent, you stayed completely silent. No comment. No outrage. Nothing. Yet you claim you “immediately call out problematic sexual behaviour when you see it.” That is a textbook double standard.

You asked, “Why do I have to comment on that scene at all?” You didn’t have to — until you publicly claimed you always do. If you hadn’t said that, nobody would have questioned your silence. But you set that expectation, and when the moment came, you conveniently avoided it.

Dropping the show because Tuo gave Jun Xi space is ridiculous. Jun Xi clearly said, “ask permission if you want to touch or kiss me.” Tuo respected that. That’s called respecting boundaries. What did you want him to do, ignore Jun Xi’s request and keep forcing contact? If he had done that, you would be here saying, “dropping the show because Tuo didn’t give Jun Xi space.” Why? Because you are negative and a hypocrite. If in your comment you had said you were dropping the series because of both HeYouMei’s behaviour and Tuo ghosting Jun Xi, no one would have a problem. But you didn’t mention it at all.

Saying “it was meant for shock value” doesn’t excuse it. Attempted sexual assault is not just shock value, it’s a serious issue. The fact that the show presented it as disturbing doesn’t mean the audience should stay silent. You didn’t have to downplay it, but going after one character and staying silent about another who did worse is blatant hypocrisy, and yes, that is a double standard.

Nobody’s stopping you from dropping a show. But when you make bold statements about calling out problematic behaviour and then act inconsistently, you will be called out. If you don’t mean something, don’t say it. You can’t claim the moral high ground one week and then run from it the next.

Wow, the double standard is actually wild here.

@Aries21, you commented over Tuo’s kiss in Episode 1, calling it “a bit jarring to watch” fine, everyone’s entitled to their opinion. But now in Episode 4, HeYouMei literally locks the classroom door, pushes Jun Xi onto a desk, and tries to kiss him without consent, and you stay completely SILENT? That scene was way more aggressive, and yet not a single word from you. Why? Because it’s a GIRL? That’s not “being consistent with your values,” that’s cherry-picking and it’s honestly hypocritical.
And now you’re DROPPING the show… because Tuo gave Jun Xi space after being told not to touch or kiss him? That’s not 'MIND GAMES', that’s literally respecting boundaries. What exactly did you expect him to do? Ignore Jun Xi’s request and keep pushing?
Also, let’s not twist the narrative, Jun Xi was the one who approached and hugged Tuo first, not the other way around.
Sometimes, being apart is what makes someone realise what they truly feel. Jun Xi clearly missed Tuo, just look at the lunch scene when he noticed he wasn’t next to him. That’s emotional development, not manipulation or MIND GAMES!

Dropping the show over that makes it pretty clear you were never watching with an open mind to begin with.
