If Yichen stood his ground instead of asking for a break none of this would have happened to be honest. He always favours others instead of Lu Feng, enough is enough. He's supposed to be his love/partner aka your first priority but it's never like that till now... honestly speaking if I was the one dating someone who can't stand up for our relationship, i would have to break up immediately!
For the people saying "that's just an asian household": Oh! I didn't know Lufeng was white then... he grow up in an asian household too, where he's always been beaten by his dad and he still stood on his love with pride, gave up his life for yichen almost. So yeah it's hard but Yichen is still a COWARD who does not change & it's so fucking frustrating.

The first two episodes make it immediately clear that Double Helix has no interest in becoming a watered-down remake of the original novel, and that’s exactly what makes it so compelling. Rather than stripping away the essence of the story, the series reinterprets the emotional toxicity that defined the original through a far more modern and psychologically nuanced lens.
That distinction matters, because A Round Trip to Love is practically a cult relic within the BL sphere: an intensely melodramatic story built on obsessive love, wounded masculinity, repression, homophobia, and two characters whose feelings for each other are so overwhelming that they constantly teeter between devotion and mutual destruction.
So far, I’m completely invested, largely because the chemistry between the two leads is genuinely magnetic. If the performances, cinematography, and writing continue at this level, Double Helix could become something truly special rather than just another remake trading on nostalgia.
