Do you take this place as your home?

[hughungrybear]

Me: ****inhuman noises (part 2)****

Also Me: Why do I get a feeling that this isn't the first time they've kissed? I guess all those times in Heart's bedroom weren't just chin bops after all 😳😳😳

Gaipa crying, Alan had an accident, Jim's past, Wen getting rejected again and again.

The only good thing we had on this episode was Li Ming and Heart being cute together, like always

Not happy with what I saw of jim confronting li ming in the preview for the next ep.

[hughungrybear]

I just feel bad that Uncle Jim's myopic view of the world is stopping him from seeing how precious Li Ming is. Yes, Li Ming can be reckless and thoughtless, but what teenager hasn't gone through that phase? It is part of growing up. Li Ming needed to go all through that to be able to stand on his own. Just look at how far Li Ming has gone by himself. Uncle Jim would need to learn soon to let Li Ming fight his own battles - and if Li Ming 'loses' those battles, then he'll be there to support his beloved nephew.

my badly put together two cents on the next episode preview cause I’m seeing a lot of people confused by Jim’s behavior

Jim has a BIG inferiority complex and trouble accepting his own sexuality and it is shown over and over through the previous episodes. His sister says love between two men isn’t real / doesn’t work, and back when he was young and bold and brave he thought he could prove her wrong‬. This was the one thing he was sure about! Young Jim not yet Uncle Jim maybe was ready to fight the world! He was going to show them love between men was real! This was the stone in which Jim built so much on. Of course it was real and it worked because his love was real and WOULD work. There was no space for doubt with all the love and surety he felt. Then he finds out Beam is in a relationship with a woman, and that issue doesn’t get resolved until years later. And it’s? He says so himself to Wen “well I did prove her”. And he spent so long with the internalized notion that the reason his relationship failed, this one thing he never ever doubted, was because he was a man, and the then love of his life found exactly what his sister and the rest of the world was always telling him: real love in a heterossexual relationship. Not going to go through all his other problems about relationships and cheating but Aof was a GENIUS when he made “the other person” in this messy triangle a woman. It stacks up on every single prejudiced brick Jim had to put up with all his life and cements it neatly. Jim’s walls are not only high but they are incredibly fucking sturdy. And he didn’t build it alone he definitely had help but damn. There was a lot of work put on to it.

I’m not saying people are supposed to like this scene or think it’s acceptable behavior considering Jim is gay himself but it is incredibly on point and in character of what Aof has shown of Jim so far. The man knows what he is doing and not once he made it seem like his characters were black and white with foolproof morals or logic.

That’s just my humble opinion though :) I think Jim (and everyone else) is a very well rounded, multidimensional character with a complex line of thought. Maybe I don’t agree with everything they do but I sure as hell can see where they’re coming from

"I want home. Home where someone waits for me. When I get home, all my tiredness is gone. When I'm home, I have peace of mind."

Just Li Ming talking about Heart.

[dropthedemiurge]

I drew this fanart because I was amazed with Gaipa’s easygoing nature, his never-ending smile, posture that radiates warmth and welcoming – and EP.6 struck me so hard with Gaipa sitting at the table askance, all these angles and raised shoulders, unnatural behavior, hiding tears behind a glass of water and pretending everything is fine with the same never-ending smile but oh, the fidgeting, the hunched pose, the heartbreak masked by the kindness of his soul — Damn, Khaotung, the actor that you are...

Son of a chicken selling stall owner. Well, he and his unrequited crush on a chicken rice cafe owner next door.

Khaotung as Kaipa / Gaipa. «Moonlight Chicken»

Heart smiling when he realises Li Ming is on the other side of the door is everything 😭😭😭

[crispyluc]
