The On1y One The Series - Tumblr Posts
This scene is sooooo precious to me, every time I watch it I feel the need to hide it away so that they don't get hurt.
What's up with you two. So many beds here and you're sharing the same one?
Liu Dong Qin as Sheng Wang and Benjamin Tsang as Jiang Tian in The On1y One episode 11
Especially after everything he pulled in the final episode he for sure is.
Wang is begging for it. A confession, a kiss, a spanking? Idk but the sneaky little brat is so obvious.
He would’ve gone insane if he had to last like Tian did for months.
Flirting and gaslighting so he can sleep with Tian ✅
Letting his mouth run before his brain can catch up when he’s kabedoned ✅
Throwing some wood into the fire pit of jealousy ✅
Jiang Tian didn't even need to be clued in about anything. He knew exactly where the break down came from and saw the gap it created. The punch (felt like a gut punch to me) came from a place of helplessness, guilt, shame and most importantly abandonment issues and hit us just as hard.
Sheng Wang's impulsive decision to purposefully flunk the test in order to get transferred to a different class was painful. However, it was even more painful because Jiang Tian knew the exact reason behind it.
Where Sheng Wang puts on a brave face and lies to his teachers and friends about it, he forgets one fact, i.e., Jiang Tian can read him like a book. He knew something had changed right from that night when Sheng Wang tried to kiss him. He could feel that something was wrong because of all the ways that Sheng Wang tried to avoid him. No wonder Jiang Tian broke down.
So. The On1y One. I've seen split opinions on the path Sheng Wang chose. I'm not sure i have all my thoughts in order because I left that finale very emotional.
My main take away is that Sheng Wang actually hurt Jiang Tian in the best way to put the brakes on what they both know is happening. Sheng Wang is LITERALLY Jiang Tian's home. He's never had a home and now he had Sheng Wang. Sheng Wang bombing the test on purpose, LEAVING Jiang Tian on purpose, is a warning to both of them that whatever is brewing between them CAN NOT happen, or Jiang Tian will lose his home.
When Jiang Tian asks Sheng Wang, "When are you moving out?" There is a moment of panic that flits across Sheng Wang's face, until Jiang Tian specifies moving classrooms, but that vagueness is purposeful, because Jiang Tian knows what Sheng Wang is doing and he's asking HOW FAR ARE YOU WILLING TO TAKE THIS?
The answer is that Sheng Wang hasn't thought about leaving their dorm YET, but the possibility is there if Jiang Tian continues to push. So, he leaves instead. He helps Sheng Wang move classrooms and screams in frustration over a reality he doesn't want to accept but has to because he doesn’t want to lose all of Sheng Wang. He doesn't want to lose his home.
The story about the mint plant woven through is important. There is no use trying to put a broken branch back the way it was. Pretending it isn't broken hurts the plant. The only thing to do is cut it off and let new growth happen.
Now we wait to see if we get a season 2 so that Sheng Wang can realize he's not a plant, and his feelings for Jiang Tian are not a broken thing that needs to be cut off. 😭
Our boys and their facial journeys as they tried very hard not to give in to their feelings for each other. Missing them hours have begun and are only augmented by the bittersweet and open ending.
