Considering MuRen is a stick (sorry, but look at him), I think he gets put in will fit him weirdly, so I think they just take advantage of that by just dressing him as outlandishly as they can. Also, given what I've seen guys wearing walking the streets of Taipei...they're not horribly far off. haha

As far as I'm concerned Xigu and Hao Ting lived happily ever after and went to see the Northern Lights together as show in Life Senjou No Bokura. That ending was just a bad dream. lol

I initially started watching because of Lee Soo Hyuk, but enjoyed all three of the main actors. This drama is like a warm cup of cocoa in the evening. Sweet and relaxing. If you're feeling in a particularly sad mood, watch this, it'll make you feel better. If you're in a particularly good mood, watch this. It'll help your good mood last even longer. ^_^

The timeframe in which I watched them is what prompted me to begin comparing them, personally.

Thank you! Happy to be here. ^_^

Well, we'll all have our opinions and viewpoints. I responded this above.

I'm actually going to yield here. I feel like it's causing a little bit too much flare and I don't want people to feel like the series they like is being sh*t-talked. In retrospect, I do see a lot of the similarities, tropes, and plot devices that I feel make them similar are coming from the genres themselves and the time span in which I've watched both of them. Though I can't say I appreciated one as much as the other, I can say that I liked them both.

Oh I feel lit too. There's just not that bubbly fantasy aspect that's in most BLs, you know? Like Those two remind me of western gay movies or other more realistic gay Asian ones like Gay OK Bangkok, I guess.

I feel like ITSAY and Your Name Engraved Herein are "BL", but not BL...lol If that makes sense. Love them both though.

I think if Nubsib had just given Gene some space for a day or two and thought of a better way to articulate, "We can we work through this." in a better way instead of kinda just shouting "WE CAN'T BREAK UP. DON'T LISTEN TO THEM", Gene may not have left. Gene reminds me of my own boyfriend in that way. When something's really bothering him, it's more important that he get time to think and feel than it is for him to immediately talk or make decisions.

I don't mean to say it like this, but...I feel like this is all ultimately just Nubsib's fault. Not in the sense that he's the direct cause or instigator for all the trouble, but in that he had the ability to prevent all the trouble from happening.

-Nubsib is the one who was shamelessly open about his like for and later relationship with Gene, no matter who was around. #NubsibGene basically became a hashtag because Nubsib's own decisions.

-Nubsib is the one who's an actor and one who doesn't seem totally inexperienced and shouldn't be *this* ignorant as to what fandoms are like and what companies would expect of him. He's clever enough to read between the lines and understand that the company wants them to actually break up, but not clever enough to realize something bad could happen if their relationship became public ahead of time??

-Nubsib is the one who knew Aey 1) has a few screws loose and 2) has an obsession with Gene.
In spite of all of this, he threw any and every sense tact straight in the garbage.

I love Nubsib and his devotion to Gene, but this really all could have been avoided. #choices

The first five seconds of Zee in a suit for the mini intro was enough for me. I'm sold. When is this starting?

Which episode?

We went from this level of realism and edginess in 2015 to 2gether in 2020. :(

Dear Thailand, please bring back median/low-income families in dramas. Please bring back people with skin colors darker than snow white (even if there are other pale-skinned actors in the show). Please bring back difficult topics without the fear they won't be popular "enough".

Thai BL is a great escape, but it's time we get some more edgy, irreverent gay cinema again.

I literally thought Tiffy was going to turn out to be a lesbian and Tum was going to have to accept her not liking him in that way, but the story went a completely different way. LOL

I still like this drama. I think Kao, Up and others, like the actor who plays Gene's dad are doing a great job, but I feel like this last episode in addition to be another good one story-wise, it was a little draggy. I can take lakorn-esque long emotional dialogues and stares, but the timing here just seemed a little too long I think this is by far the most product placement I've seen in an episode of a BL series ever.

Thai beaches are beautiful. I'd be surprised if I watched any Thai series and they DIDN'T go to the beach. hahaha

I think it’s safe to say that they have. In fact, a lot of new fans that they have only recently discovered that they were in a BL a long time ago, so the drama is actually getting popular again in China...people have to watch it illegal though of course lol

As others have said, 'da' or 'big' is sometimes added to someone's name just a nickname is it would be in English some times, but in this case it has a double meaning. da hai 大海 means ocean in Chinese.

yinzi 因子 more or less translates to 'factor' or 'cause'.

Both of these are just nicknames. In China, it's very uncommon for someone to not have a nickname. One your parents/elder family gives you when you're baby/toddler and another you get in middle/high school that usually sticks with you for the rest of your life and is used by your closest friends.

No.
