The On1y One Ep 10 - Tumblr Posts

Ok so when I first watched this week's episodes of The On1y One, I wasn't very sure of how I liked them and what I felt about them. I definitely could make sense of ep 9 better than I could of ep 10.

That being said, I think episode. 10 was all to show the ellipsis part of their relationship. It was all to show that there were things they were not speaking. That they were terrified of speaking out into existence because what if they lost their home again. The physical distance, even though it was not their doing, just increased the unspoken and unsaid things. Jiang Tian lying about working on the study syllabus for Sheng Wang when everyone knew it is for Sheng Wang was a part of all of that. Sheng Wang going all pensive at the thought of the efforts Jiang Tian is putting towards his studies with the teacher's recordings is another. It all feels very much like a build up to a realisation that Wang gets at the West(?) (I'm very bad at remembering directions, I'm sorry) terrace after seeing Shi Yu and the girl. He realises but doesn't by acknowledge, because it continues to change the nature of their relationship.

I was fooled once, but I'm pretty sure next week will start with the red scene, that being said, I think that would be the moment of Sheng Wang finally realising and accepting all that is unsaid in their relationship and (hopefully) get on the same page. So far Sheng Wang had been ready with adapting but would this be difficult to accept is the question.

I have a lot more to process in this episode for which I'll have to watch it again with a sane mind. so hopefully I'll get to watch it today as I am home today while being sick so hopefully I can chill and watch and then maybe write.

It's the way Sheng Wang doesn't bat an eyelash and just looks at his Ge.

WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME.

Yes?

Ok so now that I have stewed over the new episodes and already put down some thoughts for episode 9, here is my thoughts for episode 10.

Like I mentioned earlier, this episode was very difficult for me to make sense. Cause, after being shown that they are so linked to each other, that they find home in each other, from us being observers in 'their' orbit, we are for the first time shown Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian in different places (not out of their own volition but more circumstancial). As I am writing this, I also feel that they are put in different physical spaces, as a metaphor of where they are in terms of their relationship. Jiang Tian already knows about how and what he feels for Sheng Wang, everything he is doing is out of the feeling of home that Sheng Wang gives him, specifically in a romantic sense. Sheng Wang on the other hand, doesn't entirely make sense of his feelings. All he knows that he misses Jiang Tian, they are both at home with each other (currently specifically in the dorm room), and that he wants to go back to the place that is his home.

It showed at the same time how much they cared for each other, with Sheng Wang's talk about Jiang Tian to Jiang Ou, and with Jiang Tian preparing study material and helping Sheng Wang walking around.

We finally get this week for Sheng Wang to realise himself that his feeling for Jiang Tian are something more than he was prepared for. Although he seems a little taken aback in the beginning as he is entering their room while holding Jiang Tian's hand, he adapts quickly from there, acting as he usually does, although I feel it is because he doesn't know where Jiang Tian lies. Which is why he is able to ask Jiang Tian to sleep in the same bed without hesitation when he is scared. I think next week, the red moment is going to make him realise that Jiang Tian likes him too and that is going to affect him and maybe make it a little more challenging to adapt for the first time?

I am not very happy that the series is going to end soon. It's only 2 episodes remaining. I hope that season 2 does get through because I am thoroughly invested in these boys and their story, that being said, I do feel also that as long as they end the series without a major cliff hanger and with a proper answer for everything, I will be pretty okay with how it goes.

In terms of the open loops about the teachers, I think for the first time it feels like they are actually not together and so there are more questions there as well, including the Jenny Yang bit. I am not very invested in them, because i feel like they are taking away precious time from Jiang tian and Sheng Wang's story and might end without a resolution any way. That being said, I do want to know that they get a happy ending too and can be the mentors for the school. I loved the bit about doing physics because his father didn't care for it.

I want to see more of the friends all together. Them hanging out together has been one of the est parts and I just want to see their shenanigans again.

Qi Jahao continues to be MIA and that makes me worry about the Jiang Tian x Sheng Wang resolution next week. I have a feeling the thief, Qi Jahao and Jiang Tian x Sheng Wang will all culminate together and I'm worried it's not going to be enough time.

Anyway, that's some thoughts for now. Let's see where it goes next week and how we feel about it all.

For now, the thing that gives me solace is I have successfully purchased the translated book, so even if the story has been changed I'm happy to have these boys and their story with me in a longer and lasting format.
