Good analogy

I'm glad they've found a way to circumvent China's censorship. China has such good BL writers. It's a shame not to be able to share their stories on screen.

He's immature and weak.

😂🤣

😅😂🤣

Ouch! I feel ya! She seriously laid heavy manipulation on him with no regard for his thoughts or feelings. Parents have done that since time immortal, but it still doesn't make it right.

Yay!👏

Lordy! Lordy! I was like "way old" before I realized every comment didn't require an immediate answer and the conversation could be delayed until the parties involved calmed down. It's still a hard concept.

We're in the US. We don't have national healthcare, but in an emergency situation services are provided and the bill is often paid later. Many of the Asian movies seem to have hospital care required to be paid before the patient is released. **Just a thought- maybe she had her savings book in her purse because she was traveling to see her sister. After all she knew she was really sick and if something happened she would need access to her funds. What year is this story- by the way? Who keeps a savings booklet anymore? I was amused when she whipped it out from under the cover too. It reminded me of my mother. She would have kept it very near to herself before she trusted the booklet being in a nightstand drawer at a hospital. This story must be originally in the 1970's to 1990's. Can just anyone access someone's savings booklet and then withdraw funds?🤦🥺

😂you have a point

You're entitled to your opinion, but this is just a TV series. Intense personal negative comments because everyone doesn't agree is overreacting.

@ BLFiendza. I agree with you're view point. The different perspectives people have make the discussion more interesting.

You're right about Lu Feng's consuming love. His father was horrible. His sister cared but still chose family pressure over his heart. Lu Feng didn't experience real warmth and acceptance. Yi Chen had a close caring family until he disappointed his parents. He succumbed to pleasing his parents over loving Lu Feng. I do think it's unfair that Lu Feng is expected to accept last place in his priorities continually.

Thank you for saying the novel has a happy ending. I needed that!

She didn't realize the younger son was in a relationship with Qin Lang until Lu Feng became defensive and desperate about losing Yi Chen and revealed it. From an ingrained centuries old concept of being filial and continuing the bloodline I understand her even if I don't agree. She honestly wasn't any more mature about the explosive situation than the other emotionally overwhelmed characters. Really, I live the dramas I watch. I can try to understand and put things in perspective, but I feel their angst. I'm treading carefully at this point because I foresee a lot of heartache.

The timing on the unveiling of their relationship was rushed. The mom would have had the health issues regardless. The brother was being circumspect about his relationship because he knew his mom wasn't ready to accept a M/M relationship.
The whole thing at the hospital was chaotic and volatile. Probably a good idea to remember that all the 4 male leads or at least the Yi Chens and Lu Feng are only in their early 20's. How many people in their early 20's make calm wise decisions regularly when it comes to passionate situations?

I couldn't find an official novel on a free online account. However, if you contact [email protected] you can purchase all 3 volumes of the English translation.

I've only read through chapter 3 of volume 1. It's already added more depth to the characters and a better understanding of their developing relationship.

I can see both of their viewpoints. But I do agree Lu Feng is being denigrated unfairly. Both Yi Chens could have handled things better as well. It's a difficult complex situation. I feel compassion for both Lu Feng and Yi Chen. Their non-traditional relationship isn't accepted by either family. Lu Feng is willing to sacrifice everything, but Yi Chen feels an obligation to not disappoint his mother since she insists one of her sons be "normal".😢😣

I admit I did look at the ML's real age. Lu Feng is more sophisticated looking and YeChan is cute...smaller and more delicate yet manly not effeminate. YeChan is intense in his own way with a lot of internal complexity. I liked how Lu Feng was portraying an urban well put together businessman and then in the next scene pouting or grimacing with frustration. ( He's only suppose to be 24 not 40🤪) I'm glad this is a Taiwanese production not Chinese. The kisses are passionate and the emotions are raw.

I've enjoyed the first 5 episodes. The characters are complex which makes for some messed up interactions sometimes.
I love how Lu Feng falls for YeChan at first sight and keeps pursuing him until he falls as deeply. I stopped at episode 6 because I'm trying to prepare my heart for extreme shredding.

The negative comments are disingenuous. I'm not justifying nonconsensual intimate interactions...at all. This is fiction, but come on now? Is real life always perfect? Neither of the characters have had sex but yet Lu Feng has this consuming desire and love for YeChan. YeChan is young and confused. He's trying to accept he's attracted to a man and genuinely likes him and thinks he's a great person. He's confronting his emerging feelings, social stigma about homosexuality and losing his family's devotion. That's complex in anyone's book.

Let's put a different twist on this dark romance. In reality not fiction...how many wives have submitted reluctantly to their husbands advances even when they are not in tune with their husbands desires just to keep them happy. Is it right? Is it grape? Is it perfect?

Also, Lu Feng's father abusing him frequently with a frigging bat! That extreme manipulation and abuse hasn't even been commented about. From what I've been able to deduce that kind of parental abuse is actually somewhat accepted in the Asian cultures. Frankly if somebody's going to hit me with something that looks like a bat, I'm going to put their axx on the floor! As a child the power dynamics don't support retaliation, but as a grown man allowing another man to do that seems unrealistic. Yet again and again in several of the Asian dramas this is a reoccurring theme for parents to do this to their children even as adults. Does this kind of abuse make the story unacceptable?

In reality if adult situations came tied with a nice little bow and dripped sugar, wouldn't life be less complicated? Whether in fiction or life sometimes the push and pull of right and wrong and healthy and unhealthy makes situations that have to be confronted and worked through or walked away from.
