Normal people confessing: "I love you."

Jack confessing: "I want to see you happy with a decent job and a good life. That's enough for me"

God. When is it my fucking turn

High five for good taste lol. Semantic Error is my third one, nothing came close to these 3 for a long time for me. But The Time of Fever recently, wow, it's a tough fight for that 3rd spot now lol (and now this one too, I can already feel it's going to be up there).

Oh... where do I start. You know when you start watching a new drama, and within the first two minutes, you start having this giddy feeling in your belly like you already know you're bound to fall in love with it all? The characters, the story, the development, the cinematography --- wow. And by the end of episode 2, I know that feeling was right. Can't wait for next week.

We literally have the same taste it seems hahaha it's my BL of the year. I was writing essays defending it in the comments after the last ep. Seriously the best show I've seen lately and I can't wait for s2

You have good taste haha. Only 2 days left 🔥

Watched it last week and loved it SO much. Didn't care much for the original, but this one was so good! I wish their getting together story as adults had also been done by the same director.

The scene with the English didn't have to go so hard what?? Joker's face when Jack says "I like you" and his little "what" likeeee War is so adorable I can't. And his "yes, no, thank you, you're welcome, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10" i love him sm. Yin too -- their acting is on another level. Probably my fav episode so far 🔥

Yeah I guess we had our expectations set too high lol. I'll give it another shot. Let me know how it goes for you as well.

Thanks! I'll give it another shot then

I see the page has been updated with another actor (the other lead ig?). Do we know anything else so far, a potential release date maybe?

I have my first consultation with my MA thesis advisor in 15 minutes and all I can think about is watching the new ep of this fcking show afterwards. I have issues hahahaha

Ohh, I see. I'll try to forget about this comment cause I got really excited reading the plot and was looking forward to it hahahah

Why?

Also no offense to anyone who likes this. I genuinely just want to know if what I've seen so far is what I can expect from the rest of the show

I'm on episode 2 and so close to giving up. I feel like I'm being gaslit by these reviews. What do you mean so many people consider this the best sitcom ever produced. One more fart, diarrhoea, body hair or breastfeeding joke and I'm going to jump. Does it get better or should I just accept that this is not my cup of tea?! Please help

This show is so unserious. Sometimes I can't decide if in a good way or a bad way. I love both MLs though. The UST is really USTing, love the slow-burn of it sooo much. Grandma was my fave this episode, lol. Hope is terrible, and I have a feeling he's going to end up with Aran.

Thank you for actually trying to see my point. And I agree with you, our difference in opinion is not that huge at all. My issue is not with people like you. Of course people can have different opinions about how complete or incomplete the finale felt. To me it felt complete, because there was so much buildup to the realization of feelings, and obviously a lot of self-suppression from Wang's part, so it felt fitting to me that the season would end with him internally panicking and trying to distance himself from Tian. I'm interested to hear other points of view about this and discussing these points, but only as long as the other person is aware that their opinion is just that, an opinion. And having read your comment, the shallow part doesn't apply to you at all in the way that I meant it. I meant people who only care about skinship and kissing and will dismiss any series that doesn't have enough of that to their level of satisfaction, regardless of how good and well thought out the story is or how it actually fits the narrative for them to take it slow.

Then my comment was not for you, lol. I was talking about people who didn't find it "romantic" enough or were complaining about the lack of kissing. But for me personally, the ending felt satisfactory enough, because Wang getting transferred to another class was more symbolic, like he's distancing himself from Tian. That's my two cents anyway, of course people are allowed to feel differently about it

Who said you can't consume media in the way you want? I also in fact watch dramas to distract myself from real-life issues, but guess what, I'm not a child who will throw a tantrum when I'm disappointed that things don't go my way, because in the same way that I understand that people's reasons for watching dramas are different, creators' purposes with dramas are different too. I can appreciate the slow-burn and the show's engagement with serious topics while simultaneously being a person who usually prefers lighter shows instead of bashing this series because it didn't cater to my exact personal preferences. Just because something isn't to your liking doesn't mean it's bad or it should have been different. The entitlement people feel now about scripts being written a certain way is getting ridiculous.

The way the point of my comment went over your head is actually incredible. Learn critical reading and critical engagement with media, this is getting ridiculous at this point
