no they did not air this pre-production ass show.

fck watching the playback, am i right? the producers clearly did not give AF. fam, who the fck made this show? seriously.

tell me why there was a timeskip after nearly every scene? why was proper transition from one scene to the next non-existent? we go from eating soup to playing basketball. from night time to night time the next day. one minute we are in one room, next we are in another with characters carrying random items they never had. what the f? WHO SIGNED OFF ON THIS?

the acting was okay but by episode five being stone-faced and the being timid gets old fast. the bei luqing character obviously cares but his way of showing it is terrible. he doesn't apologize. he barely speaks. he barely defended xiaofan. he let xiaofan think he moved on for TWO YEARS. he is just a red stadium full of flags. also, why was there even a two year timeskip? the average person's life changes drastically in half a year. their superficial ass "relationship" could not have lasted a two year no contact period 😭

there is AI usage. there are dogs constantly barking in several of the scenes. the intimacy was horrendous. there was rape. the main character is in a perpetual state of humiliation. the leads never communicated. they maybe spoke two sentences to each other every time they were together. nearly every scene had a goof. watching a daycare center full of children would have less screw ups 😭 it was like every scene was left on a climax. how tf sway? i have never seen any type of media directed like this. it was just sh't fragmented and then pasted one after the other. was i hallucinating? is this a stylistic choice? whatever it was, i hated it.

edited to add: i have completed it and this was the worse BL i have watched to date.

the last episode was better than the entire series. i do not know how lu xiaofan managed to be a personal assistant to luqing, cook for a whole other family unit, engage with the bei family members, collude with an entirely separate party, & maintain himself. i figured he was way more clever than he let on and that was quite cool to witness in the last episode. he secured his own future and won in every way, basically. apart from the beginning of episode twelve, the rest of the show was almost offensive to watch. i could document a countless list of all the problems i observed with this show. i truly cannot believe this actually aired anywhere as complete.
