i dont watch a lot of shows, but its been a while since i saw such an emotionally charged confrontation in a bl show. i believe great acting can elevate any confrontation scene (even if the conflict was contrived) but uh here, we knew this all along. we knew the pain was coming, i did, it was delicious, and braced for impact but i still am in shambles. wei lili packing random packets of food from the house for yuan, unable to focus on eating when yuan sits with that face, getting him to pass stuff just to talk to him. a resounding 'tell me, what's wrong?'. never have siblings been so real lol. also, i deeply appreciate the character of Sanpang, cause i think he's supposed to be the reflection of society, but in a far more gentler, loving way for he actually does care for both of them. lol he himself doesn't know 'what's wrong' exactly, just that something should be cause yk it's Wei Qian. also, he's far more nicer than in the novel i've heard. and not homophobic at the very least.
#unknown the series#chris chiu#kurt huang#i dont know how to write it cause its too big for me to articulate but family dynamics in this show is#so fricking well put together and evocative#i've seen roles like wei qian or specifically 'da ge' the 'big brother' in so many movies i've watched as a kid#in my own language ofcourse#trauma ridden families where due to one or the other reason responsibilities fall to the oldest sibling before they're even done growing up#who's usually not even that apart in age with the rest of the siblings#but suddenly they're not just a sibling but a mother and father too as situation demands#like lili says at some point (not yet aired)#we have an exact word for 'da ge' in my language too lol#that also literally translates to 'big brother' in english#so i find it really easy to relate to qian#in a way that makes me feel way too much stuff#thingamabob#aa mine
