I didn't read the book so Idk how it was, but here I was expecting 2 seasons from what everyone kept saying would happen, but it didn't which is disappointing. There were too many villains and they died too easily. The acting was definitely good, they did what they could with what they were given

Lol ig that's depends on perspective coz to me it felt like the director made it as smooth as possible! The aspect ratio changes whenever the movie starts in the series and sometimes its meant to be confusing so that we experience what the actors are experiencing themselves- being too deep in their roles that the character becomes part of who they are. And showing directions in between or rehearsals would take away from that immersive feeling which is the opposite of what they want to show.

They will be acting together in another project tho, under the same director!

It was Fang Chi and Gao hun, they were the OGs. And Zhen and Zhang had parallels with them but they weren't fully explored in the series, that's why I kinda wished the runtime for the finale was longer

The ending felt too anti-climatic.

Its supposed to feel like an original story for a reason. Did you watch all the end credits? Also in many of these chinese dramas, especially in the BL genre, there are no intimacy coordinators. I think some actors mentioned that, which might be a culture shock for many. There are also many weird ways they bond and build chemistry, this might be considered one of those.

Can you tell me what you understood from that ending? If there was something unclear about it or unexplained that you felt dissatisfied with? And whether you already knew the ending of the novel? This is just a question so please feel free to say whatever you want

How is it disappointing? You mean the ending?

If you really liked it please rate it well as the rating needs to go up

I'd have to do more research on those, but idk if its possible since these actors are quite well known and might be banned since this work has already been reviewed by NRTA and in the shelf for more than 5 years

Idk to me it seemed like they got it. Those asking here are only doing so after reading all the other comments, and if the ones reading the novel hadn't shared the ending mentioned there none of this would've happened. Not everyone will catch the frame changes during certain scenes so the end credit will only mean that the ones everyone thought were fake were actually real. That's all. Someone shared that the author herself retconned her work, so maybe that was originally the ending she was going for. The one shown in the drama. Should they have explored more of that? Yes, but they didn't and said something special (episode?) would be released later so lets wait for that.

They didn't. It hasn't been released in China. Do you think its possible? They can't tolerate even one kiss scene between men so something of this level would probably make them faint!

It wasn't his fiance but transactional gf

There are 2 end credits

So this is kinda a spoiler but they had their last formal livestream yesterday and at the end of that Ollie surprised Shu yuan with a decorated room like it happens in one of the later episodes, but this time there were petals on the bed, some framed photos and a letter for him..which made him cry so much that they had to end the live. So we're all guessing what it really was about. Might have been something bigger we don't know of.

I didn't but I searched it up now and it means pee or something? 😭

In my opinion its true coz did you see the surprise(confession scene) yesterday?!

I think everyone is supposed to come up with their own theory on this so its more of who you believe to be real!

Its shown that way purposefully, so the audience can speculate on what is the actual ending and who are the real characters.

I think by now its clear that they did this purposefully. Instead of showing one fixed 'happy' ending, they chose to go with that route so that more people can come up with theories about what is the actual the ending.
