I'm not sure if it's anyone else, but is the audio kinda weird? It sounds like it's glitching. Anyways... thanks for the reaction! Can't wait to finish the series.

Phonic Reassignment

nah he was there to see him suffer but then instantly regretted it, in the novel; once WSW started crying and went straight to care taking. his character outside this relationship is diabolical this is the same guy that had his whole group gang RP a guy in episode 1 or 2; out of revenge just because that guy stole away some snakes via CC's dad's order. he wasn't thinking about letting it all out.

“I might not get married in this lifetime” because same sex marriage isn’t legal in China and probably won’t be for a long time oh I’m sick 💔

I have been loving your reactions to this show. I love this show. I think all 4 actors are great, Tian ( Chi Cheng) being my favorite. I can see where you and others feel there should have been more discussion between Chi Cheng and Wu so wei about their break up, but I think it works for them. I think they are just 2 people who feel that now all the secrets are out, why re-hash it, let's just move on and start fresh. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, just that it's their way of dealing with everything. I would, in any other case, say they have learned their lesson; but those 2 will be scheming when their 80. They'll be hiding each other's Viagra 😆 or maybe hiding Chengyu's and doc's Viagra! either way, i just love them. I think you have to go into this show accepting and expecting the crazy and toxicity and just enjoy it. Can't wait for your next reactions

I really love your reactions, especially how in depth you go in your observations! Regarding your point about Wu Suowei and Chi Cheng needing to discuss things further after all their misunderstandings, I have a different take on the writing for these episodes, let me know what you think: given that this series likes to portray its characters as having a heightened awareness, and constant strategy to what they do, there’s this repeated idea throughout the show that even if you know something, and trust someone, they still get hurt by what they see or hear, so there’s an interesting conflict between the characters’ conscious rationalisation and conscious emotional response. What’s even more interesting is how the series shows that the characters are acutely aware of this internal conflict, of their own emotions and those of others, and actively implemented that knowledge into their plans, almost as though the show is also making a point about human psychology, and how to effectively approach events in which the ’irrationality’ of human nature comes into play. An example of this is Chengyu’s method of dispersing any remaining doubts in Chi Cheng about not having slept with Wang Shuo. Chengyu doesn’t have any concrete proof other than his own words to claim it didn’t happen. So instead, he sets out this long plan to expose Wang Shuo. He remains near Chi Cheng during those six years, because leaving would be a sign of his guilt in Chi Cheng’s eyes. In doing so, he’s showing he has nothing to hide, he’s also subtly alerting Chi Cheng that he’s been framed (because the series keep emphasising the idea that the characters pick up on things and realise things by understanding other characters and seeing if their behaviour ’adds up’ in the wider frame of the circumstances to re-evaluate what they previously concluded), and most importantly perhaps, what Chengyu is truly assuaging is the human doubt (of Chi Cheng’s) that comes from our innate skepticism as humans, especially when we feel betrayed. Chengyu is kind of ’proving’ and relieving Chi Cheng of this slowly over time, by not saying things like ”I didn’t do it’, which could lead to further doubt (emotionally for Chi Cheng). By not saying anything, only leaving clues with these actions, Chengyu is allowing Chi Cheng to make his own conclusions, and not force it, patiently waiting for his chance to lure Wang Shuo to expose himself. Which is exactly what happens: in episode 17 when Chengyu and Wang Shuo talk, CG lures Wang Shuo to admit it by making Wang Shuo think that CG stayed with Chi Cheng to have a chance with him romantically (once again, this only works because Chengyu is aware that this is Wang Shuo’s insecurity and not rooted in truth), and Wang Shuo unintentionally admits it. (Do I think that direct communication is the healthiest and extremely important? Definitely, and ideally, it’s how people should confront things, but I think that what the series is doing with the story is to portray human conscience as an intricate web that one scheme throughs - not necessarily as a negatives thing - in every aspect of our interactions, because the emotional layers of our experiences must be addressed with delicate awareness, and take into account that there’s more to it than using logic to persuade). In the context of Wu Suowei and Chi Cheng’s ’misunderstandings’, I really believe that both Wu Suowei and Chi Cheng knew or sensed the truth of what was going on. For example, even as WSW ’thought’ that CC was going to the Hospital to see Wang Shuo, I genuinely believe that it’s more in the sense of : consciously, he’s smart enough to know that there is more than meets the eye, it emotionally it still affects him. Same with the kiss, I don’t see it WSW truly believing that Chi Cheng cheated on him, he knows there’s more to what he sees, but he has a breakdown because it’s triggering his deepest fears and insecurities, and hurting him regardless especially as he himself knows that there’s a missing piece of information he’s lacking, but he doesn’t know what it is, so he’s in even more despair. Same thing with Chi Cheng hearing the ‘truth’ about the plan from WSW. He knows that WSW’s act of seeming like he did it all for money and to get back with Yue Yue, that “he doesn’t love him”, isn’t true, but it still hurts him, and ‘the break up’ is both part of the plan to unravel all the things involved with all parties that are scheming and a reflection of that pain. But as you see in episode 19, Chi Cheng himself doesn’t really treat this as a break-up and more like the time apart they have to have until everything settles more, and that’s why when Chengyu says “what’s the big deal, is it worth it (aka the plan to stay apart)?” then Chi Cheng answers: “If JXC told you he never loved you, how would you feel?”. The implication here in my view, is more so the pain of hearing someone you love say that, even if you know they didn’t mean it, rather than because you actually believe they don’t. That’s why in episode 19, both WSW and CC’s reactions are more ‘tame’ whilst they’re separated, because they’re focusing on figuring out all the schemes around them so that they can finally be together as they resolve and find the causes/proof/method of exposing external intruders they need. With Wu Suowei, you see this with how in episode 19, he talks with JXC about someone instigating Yue Yue’s appearances, instead of being portrayed as totally heartbroken (which would be more reserved for a reaction in which he truly believed Chi Cheng would never be with him again - which is not the case here). So when Wu Suowei gets the call about his mum, finds out about the situation and it’s shown that he knows that that what Chi Cheng was up to, it’s heavily implied that WSW has already put all the pieces together regarding the “cheating”,and that that’s cleared up. Same with Chi Cheng, he already knows Wu Suowei loves him, and CC himself said he doesn’t care about the deceit, he just cares about Wu Suowei’s sincerity in his feelings for him, so their temporary physical separation is for the ‘greater plan’, it’s for him to to be with his feelings of the hurt of not hearing what he was hoping (even if he knows WSW’s intent), and partially also because it’s a way of getting back at WSW for a while before he goes back to him, which is why when they reunite in episode 20, Chi Cheng says that the time apart was ‘how long he could bear to be apart from him’ and is also the reason why he starts off with saying cruel things as a petty and very temporary ‘revenge’ (more like harsh teasing really- which WSW senses too), before he caves in and finally softens and is direct, and showers him with love. In other words, that’s my view as to why ‘further discussion’ shown on screen between the leads is not necessary in my view, because the series has conveyed through many actions that the characters have actually (in this kind of symbolic and indirect manner) realised the misunderstandings and communicated their true intentions already(for instance, Chi Cheng knows that Wu Suowei was able to figure out why CC couldn’t be upfront about his absences once WSW learned about his mother’s condition), kind of like bread crumbs that you follow to find someone who’s been kidnapped to understand their message/the truth of their situation (if you know the tale I’m referring to). This is something the show also wants us to know and so it’s reiterated through the scene between JXC and Guy Chengyu later in episode 20, after everything occurred, when Jiang Xiao Shuai inquires about why Chengyu went to such lengths, he says: “If it’s not revealed, it would have been a ticking time bomb….They’re both smart people. Anger is temporary. Given time, slowly, they’ll understand”, which I feel really reflects the thoughts above. Would love to know if anyone agrees/any other thoughts ^^

All four are really good actors and this series just won't let me go. No idea what secret ingredient was in there. However, it is unbearable how the actors are treated in public, they are harassed, chased and put in dangerous situations by so-called fans. All this despite the fact that the series was not broadcast in China. Zhan Xuan and Liu Xuancheng still had joint appearances in Thailand and Macao after the end of the series, Tian Xuning and Zi Yu unfortunately did not and because of the strict rules in China and the possibility of not getting jobs anymore, this will probably remain so.

Ditto 😆. No, just kidding. What you wrote is so detailed and above my pay grade, but yes; I think you're right about why they don't need a long drawn out conversation about the lies/schemes because they already figured it out. I think another reason Chengyu stayed and played the game with Chi Cheng is because he always loved him like a brother and while it hurt to not be as close with him anymore, he realized the only way to stay in contact with him and to keep a connection to him was to keep letting him steal his boyfriends. I'm not saying it's right on either of their parts because obviously they were putting another person into the mix, but it made sense to both of them. I love Chengyu, I think he really only became calculating, as he says in the show, because of what happened with Wang Shou and how he couldn't bear to let Chi Cheng out of his life. Just my thoughts. But your essay is profund.

This mother death is so intense the whole scene is just so warm and touching 💕 also will you be reacting to behind the scenes? It’s pretty interesting too

The later ep for sure are a lot shorter, it is on average 10-15min shorter compared to the first half. They did stop airing for one week to re-edit everything, so a lots of details got edited out. I guess China is not happy about how popular the BL show gets 😅😅

Shan & Ash Reacts

I feel like the mum wanted Wu Suowei to tell her that he liked Chi Cheng.. she seemed to be fishing when she was asking about a daughter in law, but I absolutely agree that she should have told him that it was fine for them to be together. It would have put his heart and mind at ease.. as in the end it almost seemed like an expectation that he get married to a woman and have children.
