ShortCircuit

Yeah but imagine either MingXuan or Zhao Yi sitting there dripping all over, maybe some blood if he aimed it just right. Though maybe poor Zhao Yi didn't deserve it, he defended Shen Mo not needing to drink.

Still, calling him over and watching him get called out like that by a bunch of no-consequence drunks was indeed scummy. Like, what is he, ten?! Why the need to rub Shen Mo's feelings raw watching him with Zhao Yi, when he knows Shen Mo is uncertain about their actual relationship (and that's why he sticks to the contract). Or if he doesn't know, he's more stupid than I give him credit for.

OMG you're cursing the poor people into getting very high ideas on realistic romances, just like women get when diving deep into fictional amazing men. Though I bet they already have larger than life expectations hahaha~

Just like everyone else :D

Myself, I don't mind the NC, though I appreciate it when they do include it. While the dramas are based on novels, and they're well-known, like this one, I can always read the actual scene and imagine it.

Now, if someone was brazen enough to EVER do You've Got Mail! and NOT include the x-rated scenes... I'd riot :D

Or being a frustrated tsundere like most toxic MLs.

He has a strange way of not being a POS, then. I wouldn't have drank that glass. Someone would have gotten it bull's eye on his head, ice included.

I'd forgotten all the small ways of how cruel MingXuan can be when he wants to. And for all those who say Shen Mo is alike the MC in Bittersweet Love, maybe now you can see that while he's fragile, he's also very stubborn.

I like the sister too - she's so cute. A little doll. I'm sad for her future fate, but she's nice.

LOL, I'd forgotten the step-brother subplot hahaha~ The reason why Zhou Yang couldn't just claim Shen Mo back (as if he ever had the guts to stand up to his mom).

... And while Shen Mo's mind forgot MingXuan, his body remembers from time to time.

Shen Mo is so damned beautiful. If he and QingTian were to walk on the street together, heads would turn.

For someone so smart, MingXuan can be so freaking stupid at times, isn't he?

PS The ED song is such a great love song. I think it's going on the repeat playlist.

Use the spoiler tag.

Post-death twitches. (LOL, just kidding, he'll probably go after them and damage the boat or something. He doesn't seem too bright, he wouldn't probably be able to plan something on the long run.)

If he IS a golem, wow. That would be a whole 'nother mess.

Wait, we've gone full circle and now China is making a BL drama from a Thai novel, using mostly Chinese actors (and some Thai, too)?! Wow. This is definitely unexpected.

How soon an actually Chinese remake of Professional Body Double then? Just for a comparison :D

PS What's the novel about though? The info here gives no hint.

Practice makes perfect. I now wonder who's shou and who's gong in that relationship LOL.

They should also start making lists of types/casts of humans right about now:

1. The elite/privileged (we know they're there, waiting to create a mess. They always are.)
2. The Immune Subjects (to be protected until their last breaths as long as they're useful - A-Lie, ask more questions you idiot).
3. The soldiers (A-Lie style).
4. The normal/regular survivors (no special powers but they managed to survive so far.)
5. The survivors who started marauding.
6. The survivors who are now hunting and killing other regular people (kill them with fire.)
7. The end-of-times cultists (they have to be somewhere).
8. The people who caused this whole mess... (What if they're the elite/privileged?!)

A hulk-like creature, biblically made out of earth and animated by magic or another form of spiritual power (like some necromantic spell or something). They couldn't be killed because well, they're not really alive.

The big guy who wasn't the stan looked like a golem to me (he's alive, or was alive, I guess, though).

I guess they just hit it a bad note then. To me it looked convincing enough, considering the context.

And I meant it's a high ask for BLs to be realistic since 1. they're aimed at a female audience (though guys aren't forbidden from watching LOL, it's just that the audience tends to be female) and 2. we're expecting lots more romantic meaningful moments than a realistic gay/queer movie or drama would portray. The NC scenes aren't the point, they're extra benefits.

I was one of the few people commenting on how unrealistic the NC scenes were in Wishing Upon the Shooting Stars, LOL, where they were miles apart and the body geometries never aligned while they were presumably making love. If you consider this scene awkward, those scenes (more than one) would get awkwardness prizes LOL.

Maybe it's about exposure to enough NC bad settings before you get used to some of them :D

Can A-Zai stop being so stupid when it counts?! I get it, he's a lot attracted to the cold soldier who seems not to care about him. But is that reason enough to ditch him to a fine cannibal family just so he could steal the boat and return to his original pack? Who knows if they're still there anymore. And A-Lie carried him for dozens of miles already. He should also grow some braincells.

PS At first I thought the golem was the A Type supportive stan, I'm glad he wasn't. That fan will reach celebrity status if he stays pure LOL.

Eesh, fine young cannibals. Or not so young.

At this pace, they'll reach base sometime next year or next decade, who knows.

It should feel awkward, that's the whole idea. The fact that it doesn't seem real since they didn't strip naked (or at least took the pants a bit down and show them open or something) is a question of perspective here, IMHO. I don't have the desire to get technical and count the seconds from when the ML pushed the MC away and see if he had the time to close and fix his pants, but in a BL, where the actors are definitely not gay (as far as we know), and the scene SHOULD feel awkward (since the MC is not doing it for his or his partner's pleasure but because he's coerced - via contract and via fear - to do it), I think they did whatever they could with it.

It seems like a strange point to get hung up on (pun intended). I'm speaking for myself here - I've watched a lot of BL (including Thai, who are the most showy with NC scenes, so far) and there have been countless strangely set NC scenes where it's clear they're not even touching and nobody raised a fuss.

TBH I can't see how much detailed they could have been and not turn it into porn. How do you show a blowjob while not showing a BJ and the actors being clothed and not on a bed?

Whatever, I am not their spokesperson LOL, if people aren't pleased with what they get, they should be vocal. I think that splitting the threads so finely is taking it a bit too far, but I guess everyone can say whatever they feel they should be saying and that's just that.

Or the ML has nothing to show LOL.

I get it. People want "realism". In a BL. Oh well, that's kind of a high ask.

Why do the threads matter for him working on the police precinct since he only used them once? And then the whole plot moved sideways and never forward. Then suddenly there's a HEA.

Like, wait, what. When did all this happen?! Too much time spent on sidequests that lead nowhere in a short-ep-count drama with short-minute-count eps.

The only one I actually liked was the weird roommate of the MC. (Wait, and the psychology teacher giving the 2-minute lectures in the ED. She had this very cute accent that SQQ's VA in SVSSS also has. I love that accent.)

He's third-wheeling so hard, he goes and stares at them staring at each other's lips then goes "oh nevermind me, please continue" then sashays out of there like he did his whole new race proud.

We spot a supportive stan.
