Bad translation. Fan Yu meant that the last time Fan Xiao had an episode had been when he was 18 and went to the beach again, i.e. Shulang leaving him is as bad, because it has the same effect. Fan Xiao is actually about 28 when Fan Yu and Shulang have that conversation, because some time has passed since the beginning of the story.

You can scroll down and see that we already had this discussion. It's annoying that Gaga's bad translation confuses so many people, but it makes no sense whatsoever for Fan Xiao to be 18. He's only a couple of years younger than Shulang and older than Lu Zhen.

He isn't 18, he's 26 at the beginning of the series.

Wrong translation. Fan Yu wanted to say that the last time Fan Xiao had a panic attack before Shulang left him, had been when he was 18 and went to the beach again, i.e. Shulang rejecting him has the same effect. Fan Xiao himself told Shulang about it when they were at the beach together.

Fan Xiao is 26 years old at the beginnung of the novel and about 29 at the end. Unfortunately, the timeline was not that clearly stated in the series. You Shulang's age was a little messed up in the novel as well, because from the beginnung to the almost end, he was "almost 30", which cannot be if three years have passed. Logically, if Shulang was 28 or 29 at the beginnung (whatever "almost 30" is supposed to mean), he should be 31 - 32 at the end.

The very first episode had three of my favourite things ever - cats, Spanish and FirstKhaotung. I can't believe how lucky I am. <3

I don't believe they will just give up because of a handful of idiots. They've already organized themselves and have started with the filming and I truly believe they will find a way. The director has to try to keep the crazies away, but giving up at this stage? Nope, I don't think so.

Same here, two weeks since the last episode aired and I still can't move on. At least YunYi are successful and the special episode(s) seem to be in production already.

Thank you! I don't mind the predictability, there were predictable couples in the earlier seasons, too. However, I liked some of them, while in this season, I don't like any of the three you mentioned. I'll skip the rest of the season.

Can anyone spoil me about the final picks so I can decide whether I'm interested to watch at all?

Jade: Co-workers kiss all the time, right?

Nope, they really don't, Jade. I've been working since I turned 19 and would know if they did.

I agree, and would like to add that it must have been the first time he's really felt sexually attracted to anyone to such an extent, because he had no problems admitting to himself that he wants to sleep with Shulang and did everything possible to make it happen and after it happened, he couldn't get enough of it, but only with Shulang, no one else. There are intense people like that who only act on their attraction when they actually feel it.

CopperPung would be an unconventional couple for Domundi (way more than CopperFifa), so I don't think it's happening, although I personally would take it over CopperFifa every day. I feel sorry for Pung, because he's probably my favourite there, and as an introvert myself I feel for him and I wish he would find a partner, but better without one than accepting being someone's second choice. Let him find someone else.

Fifa is really popular, wow.

I'm still not sold on RyujinPatji, but it seems it's inevitable, the way the production is pushing them together. NorthOtto seems like it will be happening, too.

For some reason, I'm not fond of any of the "obvious" couples this season. In the previous seasons, there was always at least one I liked.

They are in Thailand! It's so unreal to watch them there in that sunny weather, here we had a blizzard yesterday and there's a lot of snow and it's cooold!

Can we hope that they are in Thailand because the production of the extra episode(s) is starting soon? Please?

If you didn't enjoy the other two because of the toxicity, you need to know that the ML here is more than or at least just as toxic as Hua Yong, IMO. If you didn't enjoy the other two for other reasons and not because of the toxicity, try this one, IMO it's better than them, although I'm very biased.

Thank you so much for this link, it made my day!

This is such a brilliant and articulate analysis of You Shulang's character that I' saving it.

It was a fake relationship. Both of them were trying to escape their demons - Shulang was trying to forget Fan Xiao, and Lu Bowen was trying to escape his ex-brother in law, who was both a minor and in love with him.

According to one of the extras, the kiss never happened, it was just an angle kiss to fool Fan Xiao and the brother in law, who have been both watching.

Same here! I've been waiting for this show ever since someone posted about it filming in August. Now the waiting starts anew...

He still doesn't know that Fan Xiao was the one who ordered someone to slam into his car as revenge for rear-ending him and got his arm injured.

Here. It's almost done. There are other translations, but this is the best one.
