HIStory2: Right or Wrong

HIStory2: Right or Wrong (2018) is a groundbreaking Taiwanese BL series that ditches typical campus fluff for a tender, thought-provoking story about second chances, family, and the courage to love openly. The drama introduces us to Shi Yi Jie, a cynical, disorganized associate professor of anthropology who is a divorced single father to his precocious seven-year-old daughter, YoYo. His life is a chaotic mess of teaching, parenting, and avoiding emotional connections—until he crosses paths with Fei Sheng Zhe, a bright and warm-hearted college student who quietly recognizes the professor from a brief, forgotten encounter years earlier. When Fei Sheng Zhe lands a job as YoYo’s tutor, the three form an unlikely, endearing trio. What begins as a professional arrangement slowly blossoms into something deeper as Shi Yi Jie finds himself drawn to Fei Sheng Zhe’s patience and sincerity, and Fei Sheng Zhe begins to see past the professor’s prickly exterior to a lonely man desperate for love. But their growing bond faces real-world hurdles: a significant age gap (12 years), the taboo of a student-teacher dynamic, deep-seated insecurities from Fei Sheng Zhe’s past bullying as a gay youth, and the reappearance of Shi Yi Jie’s manipulative ex-wife. What makes Right or Wrong truly special is its refusal to shy away from these challenges. Instead, it tackles them head-on with refreshing maturity, advocating for open communication, consent, and self-acceptance. The series also breaks new ground by centering a romance around gay fatherhood—showing how Shi Yi Jie learns to be a better dad while falling in love, and how Fei Sheng Zhe becomes not just a partner but a co-parent to YoYo. With a heartwarming, optimistic tone and a focus on building a loving, unconventional family, Right or Wrong delivers a deeply satisfying, emotionally resonant journey that will leave you smiling long after the credits roll.
