 BL4life:

I've just finished all 8 episodes of revenge love

Me too. And I'm really enjoying it. I heard CJD excluded a lot of chapters with questionable behavior from the book. In fact, she said NOT to read the book and to just to watch the shows, because she was a lot younger when she wrote it and she's not the same person.

I forgot to post this:

 RXinw:

I vehemently opposed this! 

Certainly not for my own benefit, but for Mr. P to have the freedom to add to his most respectable harem. 

Maybe not one actor per drama to get dibbed on how about we come to a compromise and share.because no matter how one person claims a certain actor,others will still like the actor and have an equal or way worse of an attraction of the actor. 

I took a break from packing and finished My Stubborn. I was happy with the last episode. It was sweet and spicy and fun to watch, with nice resolutions for the two main couples. The GL couple and many side characters were left at loose ends, but I don’t really care. The show ended like it began, with excitement and fire and beautiful sexy couples with great chemistry. That’s enough for me.

Because I enjoyed this show so much, I gave it an 8.5. I will definitely be rewatching, and not only for the spice. This was a great ride.

Thank you for satisfying my curiosity 😊

WEEKEND BLs (part 1)

The Next Prince ep 10
Prince Khanin finally started to pay attention during his classes, kind of. Better late than never, I guess. I still trust no one in that royal family and I'm not sure if I should trust Charan. There seem to be some bigger secrets to be discovered.
The lanterns in the city looked beautiful, but why was Thatdanai there, if he didn't want his presence to be discovered by Khanin? It makes no sense to me🤨
Princess Ava for the Queen! I love her, she takes no sh*t from anybody and she fights male chauvinism wherever she goes. I just hope she won't hurt herself while trying to prove she's no worse than any man.
We've got another NC scene, this time in Charan's art room. One half of my brain was totally into this scene. I loved the romantic atmosphere, the candles, the flowers, the art pieces... Using a paintbrush in a foreplay is a clever idea, especially if it's made with a natural hair. Khanin keeps getting better at seducing his man. And the moment I heard "Good boy", I was literally on the floor. Now, the other half of my brain was screaming Fire hazard! Candles next to books, canvas and pieces of cloth - all inflammable materials. I swear, one wrong move and the whole room is set on fire. I was anxious the whole time 😨

Season of Love in Shimane ep 8
Recent BLs are going to keep @RXinw busy with updating his profile 🤭
This was a decent final episode. Are we getting a season 3? Because, honestly, I wouldn't mind. I grew fond of P and Pan, would love to see more of them.
And that food p*rn at the end... that was doing things to me. I'm hungry now.

My Stubborn ep 12
Okay, so the final episode wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it more than the couple previous ones, and not because we've got some NC scenes.
Sorn and Jun went back to their 'lovey-dovey' selves 😏  No more sulking, no more withholding the nooky. It was nice to see them moving up a gear and getting serious with each other.
Finally, Tai and Champ had that conversation, which was long overdue. Because love does need labels, or people in love do. I still feel like the script didn't do justice to their love story, but it is what it is.
The story has come full circle: started at the koi pond and ended there. Our couples got their happy ending, but at what cost? That poor staircase needs a therapy, because if the walls could speak...

Boys in Love ep 12
I was applauding Shane for his maturity. "We can't stop ourselves from growing up. There are paths waiting for us and we have to walk them." Preach, Shane! But then he emotionally blackmailed Kit and I screamed 'No, Shane, no!' 😠  Actually, it was mainly Kale's fault. She should've talked it out with her brother, instead of manipulating Shane like that. I felt sorry for Kit. I'm glad he had his mum to talk to. At least his parents don't expect him to be anything else but himself. Also, what seems like a great opportunity to some, may not be the right path for a given person. Everyone should make a choice for themselves.
No wonder Mon and Kim are worried about the future. Long distance relationship is never easy, even when you're an adult, and they're still very young, anything can happen. They're not giving up, though, so that's a good sign. I wish them all the best, even if they're just fictional characters.
Per and Tar are the same as always.
Teachers are super cute. I'm so happy they've found each other in that storage room. They deserve all the best in the world, they do 🥰  Who would've thought Tan'd be giving a love advise to his students one day? Good for him!
I'll certainly miss them next Sunday.

LOL I am already securing gifs, trust 😌

@Jadeheart What are you saying? Is there supposed to be a gif in your posts where you quoted me? OR are you just reintroducing the smutty scenes for emphasis 😏

My Stubborn - finale

Nothing highlights how much of a mess a series is than a finale. Finales are the tying of the bow on a package like a bow on a gift, and if there are too many loose ends then the bow just does not materialise and ends in a knotty mess.

We have now reached the end of this series. It was fun to watch, filled with plenty of NC scenes which I enjoyed, but at the end of the day, for me, NC scenes only account for 10% of my rating (2/10 - intimacy is worth 2 points and out of that 2 points NC and kiss scenes only get 1 point while the other 1 point represents the other aspects of intimacy). I cannot in good conscience with consideration of all my previous ratings give this series a rating that ignores all else except NC scenes. 

The second couple's story was neglected for much of the series. There was no proper development and what is done in this finale for them was nothing short of rushed. Dare I say that their story is vapid.

The entire conflict surrounding Sorn and Jun is unimaginative and frankly frustrating. It is a waste of good NC scenes. I wanted more from their story-line than what was portrayed. It is a shame that when you strip away the NC scenes from the series you are left bored. 

The GL story-line is a whole other case of vapidness.

With all that being said constructively, this series brought much entertainment to my Sundays and I will miss the smut. 

Lets rate it:

Production - 1.5/2

Writing - 0.5/2

Acting - 1.5/2

Intimacy - 1/2

Music - 0.5/1

Special 10 scene - 0/1

I am going to make an exception and break from the conventions of my rating scheme and give a special point to the NC scenes because they are the star, identity and entire personality of the series, plus I fail to think of many other series that had such a long streak of NC scenes week after week. 

NC scenes - 1 special point

Final Rating Score = 6/10
