I came across your review by chance. And yes, I can confirm — the English subs are terrible! To answer your question, if I remember correctly (I haven’t watched this movie in a long time), Alice was Xie Yan’s puppy. Shu Nian always feels like he’s just a substitute for that dog, which really shows how little self-esteem he has and why he keeps letting people walk all over him.
As for the girl who insists on marrying Xie Yan: what she’s actually looking for is to keep her freedom, knowing that refusing to marry is unthinkable (especially in upper-class Chinese families). So, marrying a gay man is an appealing option for her.
Besides, she’s perfectly aware that the love story between Xie Yan and Shu Nian can’t possibly last — Xie Yan is the sole heir of an extremely wealthy Chinese family. So when she goes to see Shu Nian, it’s mostly out of curiosity. She has no idea she was poisoned just a few hours earlier, and when the symptoms start while she’s eating Shu Nian’s shrimp, it’s only natural that she suspects him. It’s just an unfortunate coincidence.
100% agree. I wrote almost the same thing about Memoir of Rathi. GMM is only here for money and fan service. They don't care about plot and good show anymore.
Dub con. Not rape but kinda like implied the one is gonna consent and participate whether they want to or not…
I wouldn’t be so sure that it’s not a rape scene. Sometimes, a person doesn’t have the chance to say no, even if they don’t necessarily want it. Here, it’s rather unclear.

"the one is gonna consent and participate whether they want to or not but in the end it is consent so" if you not have the chose to consent or not, it's SA. Period.
2025 BL Series Checklist:1. Khemjira - 8.82. My Magic Prophecy - 8.73. Reset - 8.74. Perfect 10 Liners - 8.65.…
I think you missed Secret Happened On The Litchi Island (8.1), a very good one! And 8.7 to My Magic Prophety? I dropped it cause I was kind of bored. Should I give it a 2nd chance?
Can someone explain to me why Suriya forces himself into a relationship with Apo when he clearly has no feelings for him? It’s not even because of family pressure, since his own mother is against the relationship.
It depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a light love story, you’ll enjoy it. If you want some depth…
Maybe you’ve already seen it, but if you’re interested in a historical BL, I highly recommend the excellent To Sir, With Love (on YouTube). It’s not really a standard series but a lakorn. It can be a bit over the top, especially in the acting, but that’s part of the genre. In short, it’s a must-watch.
