  This series from Two Love Media is based on the two volume novel 'Da Ge' ('Big Brother') by Priest, which went unreleased for a while due to its problematic subject matter (human trafficking with anecdotal, but apparently non-explicit, references to child sexual abuse). Priest, who is most widely known in BL circles for her Y novel "Faraway Wanderers" which was filmed as the censored BL 'Word of Honor', is a Chinese writer recognised for her deep humanistic themes and ability to capture harsh-reality-of-life struggles. However, this drama is almost certain to have been sanitised for its current release, which is from the same team who produced 'My Tooth Your Love'. It stars Chris Chiu (aka Mao Di) and Kurt Huang ( 'VIP Only') as the central couple Wei Qian and Xiao Yuan; with support from Kim Jae Hoon ( 'My Tooth Your Love'), Tammy Lin, Yankee Yang, Sam Lin ( 'We Best Love') and Edward Jhu. It's directed by Jiang Rui Zhi, who previously helmed 'We Best Love: No. 1 For You' and its sequel 'Fighting Mr. 2nd' as well as 'My Tooth, Your Love'.        Synopsis: "Young Wei Qian, orphaned at thirteen, struggles through life with his half-sister in tow. He picks up a stray boy who shamelessly latches onto him, and gives him the name 'Xiao Yuan'. Wei Qian has always dreamt of rising above the crop. He is someone who values money over his own life and has battled against many obstacles, with his number one mission being to make a name for himself. Finally, when he achieves some success and thinks he is at last seeing the light of day, Xiao Yuan suddenly goes crazy on him — declaring he only likes men and won't stop staring at him — adding the glorious strokes of 'being subjected to treachery' and 'being subjected to insubordination' to his weary life. Why are the fates so endlessly cruel to him and where can things possibly go from here?"Here's the MyDramaList page Trailer: The series will premiere on Saturday 24th February on the YOUKU app, though it might be worth mentioning that this release does appear to be following the same format as 'Night Dream' which was also announced as a YOUKU app exclusive but later began to have its episodes added to YOUKU's YouTube channel on a delayed release schedule. Hopefully the same thing might happen here. |

Interesting to have the WBL director here. Hopefully it goes well, we need more Taiwanese BL

Ok, I'm not sure how long this link might last. It came up claiming to be a "Membership Preview" for me, but actually played the whole of the first episode in the clear.
If it stops working I'll just delete the post, but hopefully it will stay around long enough for you to watch.

The second episode has also just popped up as a "Membership Preview" for me! This one is currently streaming live:
EDIT - Seems like the second episode really was a preview and was made private shortly after the live stream. It will apparently be made available again in a few days time (on a delayed release schedule).

Two OST tracks have been released. The first is the series "Theme Song" sung by Chris Chiu and Kim Jae Hoon:
The second is called "Weird" and is sung by Hong Waji (who you might remember from his role as Gu Buxia in the BL 'Stay By My Side'):
