oh the AUDACITY of Zhuang Xu, playing the wronged side and trapping himself in the victim mentality. He's acting as if Xi Guang played with his feelings and then disappeared - did he forget that she confessed to him and he turned her down, that the whole time in college he was cold and aloof towards her, that he was attached at the hip to the vindictive Rong, and that he quickly believed that Xi Guang would ruin Rong's interview out of malice? He did NOT give a single inclination that he liked Xi Guang, he did not give her a chance to prove her innocence, and baby girl had had enough of his cowardly foolishness. Now that she's finally found the man who is truly madly in love with her and would go to the ends of the earth for her, he's all tears and begging? For what? For her to become a second version of her mother in marriage? Zhuang Xu is the mini version of Xi Guang's father; money hungry, resentful, entitled, and malicious - and if Xi Guang got with him, her life would be an unhappy misery. I hope she cuts all ties with him and he stays as far away from her as possible because the taxi scene showed how unhinged he was and he could present a real danger to Xi Guang if he gave in to his "obsession" with her.
Also, if I were Xi Guang, I'd cut ties with the whole group; like they're all messy and betrayed her once, they could do it again.
p.s: The actor Wei Ming sure is doing a wonderful job making me hate Zhuang Xu
exactly... they show the true nature of humans in love ... love makes us kind, gentle, loving, and sweet - but…
Fan Xiao & Shulang's love is toxic ... and because it's them, they'll be able to reach peace eventually (once Fan Xiao sets Shulang free and Shulang forgives Fan Xiao). Fan Xiao became emotionally and mentally abusive towards Shulang once the truth came out and he sensed Shulang's will to leave him... some people are able to get passed it, others aren't; when i said DV, i meant physical abu$e, because this type of abuse can never be healed/cured, and it's always shown at the start of the relationship. what Fan Xiao & Shulang have is NOT fluffy love; it's dark, twisted, and all consuming, and that's just how their story goes.
The brainless moralists of fiction strike again. Y'all should read about Chinese BL themes before watching one…
exactly... they show the true nature of humans in love ... love makes us kind, gentle, loving, and sweet - but it can also turn into an obsession, making us manipulative, obsessive, and downright deranged. not all love is fluffy love, sometimes love is pain and that's okay, because we are humans (unless there's DV involved, then it's not love, but imprisonment, and not the redeemable kind)
Ok so, for the ones who wants to understand a little bit better what’s happening.. let me tell you. 😌 Do…
i'm at the part of the novel where Fan Xiao is the one who deliberately presses "send" to the email regarding the evidence against him & his family while kissing Shulang. I can't wait to see it on screen.
* ep 11: - not Shulang pulling out a sugar daddy/baby contract and forcing Fan Xiao to sign it 🤣 he really said 'if you want this cookie, you're gonna have to pay for it from now on'. 🤣 then Fan Xiao telling Shulang to be his sugar daddy instead because he doesn't want Shulang to humiliate himself? and agreeing to Shulang's condition of TOPPING him? love him or hate him, Fan Xiao is a psychotic loser in love who would take the humiliation instead of his lover.
- Fan Xiao, you really were gonna force yourself on Shulang? REALLY? your gooning haze was gonna cost you a lot more than what you've already lost; CONTROL YOUR 3RD LEG FAN XIAO.
- CEO Qin is another lunatic who has his eyes dead set on Shulang (seriously, this man is a magnet for deranged men, like leave my baby alone) but he's a little kid playing checkers while Fan Xiao is a master manipulator playing chess. And don't get me started on the scene where Fan Xiao scratched Qin's car with his keys, being all stoic and cold (as if i needed more reason to fall for this man)
- i LOVED how President Shi (the female sponsor) decided to be Shulang's pretend one-night-stand to spite Fan Xiao 👏 this woman is diabolical, AND GORGEOUS ... if this wasn't a BL, it would've been a great noona romance between her and Shulang ... and the way Fan Xiao was BOILING with jealousy 🤣.
-* ep 12: - starting and ending the episode with Fan Xiao was a stellar decision; the start gave me a *little* hope that we would be seeing the full redemption this episode, with Fan Xiao explaining everything to Shulang and why he did what he did, and eventually falling for Shulang, only for it all to end up BLOWING UP IN HIS FACE; Shulang realizing that all of this happened to him because he was a good & kind human being would break the strongest of saints... THEN, Fan Xiao had to RUIN IT AGAIN by being the sicko that he is and refusing to let Shulang go - the MADNESS in his eyes was sinister and i was like 'MY GUY, YOU'RE DOING TOO MUCH'.
- watching Shulang plan on taking down Fan Xiao was a treat (although he won't really be able to do it; novel readers know) and that way i CACKLED when he told Fan Yu (Xiao's 2nd brother) that he'd be the one on top when suggesting pretend dating 🤣 the shock on 2nd brother's face was priceless 🤣.
- CEO Qin is starting to grow on me a little, but he's too green and too tame for me (and Shulang💀)
- ONCE AGAIN, Shulang is a MAGNET for psychopaths, like he's surrounded by UNHINGED men, because what do you mean Chief Liu is INFORMED of the true nature of Fan Xiao's manipulation and STILL betraying Shulang and delivering him to Fan Xiao on a silver platter AGAIN, with Fan Xiao pretending to be a plaintiff while Chief Liu is the defendant regarding the investment - all a ploy to entrap Shulang once again with his love of helping those in need.
SIDE NOTE: i rewatched the episode and realized that the reason Fan Xiao did this was because he wanted Shulang to have a purpose in life to live for, since he mentioned to Shulang that he's thinking of ending things to be free of it all. the method might be deranged, but its serving it's purpose to keep Shulang alive and going.
- the flashback about Shulang's childhood explains everything about him and his character - the reason he always puts others before himself, why he's willing to always help those in need, and the way he's ready to put himself in danger if it meant the safety of others; it's because he never had anyone to do the same for him - he was orphaned at a young age, thrown into an orphanage, paraded around to dozens of families until he was finally picked up like a stray cat, only to be thrown onto the streets when said family was able to conceive a child of their own (that bitch of a mother and weak father will get their karma from their "flesh and blood" one day).
side note: can Yun Qi stop being charismatic, hot, sexy, diabolical, and alpha as Fan Xiao dressed in all black? like i can't focus with his pretty face and deep voice 😊 and now i have to wait another week for episode 13? pfft.
so, so far i'm only staying for the cringe acting (also for keifer & yuri's gorgeous faces) because the storyline this season is not doing it for me ... let me tell you why ___
*NOTE: EP 2 PISSED ME OFF SO BAD.
- Yuri: is using emotional manipulation, mental gymnastics, and family financial troubles in order to keep an ironclad hold on jay-jay.
- Keifer: WTF happened to him? is he on dru*gs? is he mentally unstable? clearly, because how the FCK could he attack Jay-Jay like this? he's exhibiting MAJOR abusive characteristics, even more so than season 1 (and that's saying something). if a guy attacks the girl he claims to love that way and tells her verbatim that "you are mine, and if you do anything like that again, you'll pay for it" RUN GIRL, RUN. the moment he saw her coming out of that classroom after Yuri left, Keifer grabbed her, slammed her against the wall, and kept on roughing her up some more . he GRABBED her tiny face in his huge hand and squeezed hard, threatening her of horrible consequences if she ever got too close to Yuri again. AGAIN, he's abusing the girl he claims to love and we're supposed to be rooting for this guy? - side note: this abusive scene reminded me of the Indonesian romance thriller series Cinta Mati / Love Untill Death, where the main lead (Bara) was OBSESSED and abusive towards the female lead (Aalyah) to the point of kid*napping & ra*ping her after she broke up with him. Keifer gave me MAJOR Bara vibes and I'm honestly scared for Jay-Jay; like i thought we were getting a Keifer redemption arc in season 2, obviously NOT.
- The boys of section E: THE WHOLE CLASS is abusive and filled with sickos ... watching the way they ENJOYED beating up Kiko; granted, that bastard deserved the beating that he got, but it was the way they enjoyed, basked in, and gloated in the violence they were delivering - and don't get me started on Ci-N filming the whole thing and KEEPING THE FOOTAGE AS A SOUVENIRE. another thing pissing me off is the way that EVERY. SINGLE. BOY in section e is OBSESSED with Jay-Jay, and they were the same with Ella ... like i just want Jay-Jay to leave section e and the abuse coming from it behind.
- Jay-Jay's family: they are pieces of sh*it. since season 1, they gave absolutely zero fcks about Jay-Jay, and Aries was doing nothing but verbally abusing and manhandling Jay-Jay at every turn... all of this for it to end with her "family" selling her off to the Hanamitchi's because they're having "financial problems" and Yuri likes Jay-Jay, so it's okay to ambush Jay-Jay and force her into an engagement she didn't wait.
- Jay-Jay: i feel so sorry for that girl. she's getting hits from EVERYWHERE and can't catch a break. she's being emotionally blackmailed by Yuri's soft "love" for her, being emotionally-mentally-and physically abu*sed by Keifer, being the playing toy of the boys of section e, not having any friends except the boys of section e, and finally being abandoned by her family who don't care about her at all. i hope Jay-Jay leaves section e, leaves her family, doesn't end up with either Keifer or Yuri, and to move as far away from everyone as possible. also, i was hoping we would get more background story on her blacking out & hulking out on anyone who hurts her; i thought that was gonna be the Dark Side but no, apparently the Dark Side is her getting played and abu*sed by everyone around her *deep sigh*
Also, if I were Xi Guang, I'd cut ties with the whole group; like they're all messy and betrayed her once, they could do it again.
