No. 1 for You Finally Episode: a Taiwanese BL Drama Series in Review

Published: March 4, 2021, 4:04 p.m.

In this episode of Check It/Round Table Onna discusses the finally bonus episode that provides a back story for the 5 years of separation for Gou Shi Di and Zhou Shu Yi and how this episode brilliantly portrays how people respond to possible conflict.  Onna considers how this episode with Zhou Shu Yi reminds her of the Perks of Being a Wall Flower "We accept the love we deserve," which for him makes him think that Guo Shi Di must want a woman and child and traditional family and jumps to conclusion that he threw in a relationship he cultivated since grade 5 and leaves Zhou Shu Yi angry and bitter and neither party can have closer as Zhou Shu Yi did not walk up and have that conversation at the picnic scene.  Beacuse a lot of times things are not as they seem and even if they are as they seem, you will live your life with less regrets.  Onna considers that it is important to have the courage to realize that it is better to even end something in utter disaster, it at least ended and both parties had closer.  Because this non-closure cost Zhou Shu Yi, it cost Gou Shi Di, and that inklings are important to recognize and to follow your gut on.  Onna considers that she is guessing Zhou Shu Yi's dad is probably part of the problem, just a guess.   

Onna considers how Gou Shi Di's cousin always gives great advice, but does not follow it himself, which leads to difficulties in his personal relationships and how the interview with Ray and his co-star and how it is the best piece she has ever seen on living life without labels.  Because at the end of the day, it is not about labels:  it is about character, compatibility, and living life well.  Onna considers how this series is great for both adults and especially kids makes the audience ask questions, is great on how it shows that things may not be the way they appear, and celebrates the whole-heartedness of Gou Shi Di and Zhou Shu Yi and their presence in their presences.  Onna considers how this show also has minimal kiddie skipping and overall goes up on the shelf/pedestal with Until We Meet Again as "ones the kids must see and understand before they leave the house because of the values they have."  It's all here.  It's all real.
