From my currently watching list, which BL series or movie do you think I should watch next?
If you want something lighter watch Cherry Blossoms. Everything else you have is serious to heavy to toxic. I really love 180 Degree Longitude but it is artsy and sort of like a play and mostly psychological so you need to be in the right headspace.
Thanks, I'll watch it tomorrow. I do have serious, heavy and toxic things on my list mostly. I think that's my M.O. that is: I love something that is serious and has some core to the story. Nothing cute or anything like that. Those cute ones bore me to death.
I'll eventually watch all of them on my list. But it takes me some time. It's true, I'm not in the mood for 180 Degrees much. I think the actress was shouting and being too emotional for my liking.
But I'll watch it eventually. Maybe even tomorrow, at least 2 episodes if not more.

I love bromance, because it's just a depiction of friendship between men. For me it's like saying you hate dramas with female friendship. 😂
Now if you mean censored BL's, then I don't hate the show, but the rules/government restraining it.
And if you mean queerbaiting, I think everyone hates that.
Hahah i didn't mean the depiction friendship between males. I haven't thought about how that sounds. I mean the "genre" -> Almost all gmmtv bromances are kinda queerbaiting in my opinion but still not every bromance series queerbates.
I really love bromance but not when it is obvious that some people interpret it as love because the writers have written it like love without a confession.
The deep friendship that is showed in bromances is the best thing. I hope Mr. Kill won't be queerbaiting (that much) and will show a genuine friendship. I love characters with many layers and complexity so I am really tuned for Mr. Kill and future bromances + really all series in general

Omg, China does plan to take over the industry. Just you wait. I think they're going at the speed of light with these BL releases. We're so well fed though. I'm so happy.
And omg you've seen DDoS and you lived to tell the tale. How was it? Wtf did I just watch is a proper reaction to it, I'm sure.
Btw you got so many series in your cw list. Are you trying to set a record for most BL watched in a week? O.o
I do feel well feed! They are knocking it out of the park as well. Most of them have been great to watch.
I walked into DDoS blind too. It was just a random click. I feel like I'll have ptsd for a month at least. 🤣
Your telling me. This is the closest my list has been to the 20's number though. For the last two previous weeks my CWL was flirting with the 40's. 🥴 I started this week with 650 shows watched and I'm at 695. Granted, I'm still finding dramas I've watched but didn't add yet. I wish I had signed up back when I started using MDL in 2020 to look up shows. 😮💨
The Boy and I: Thank goodness this was short or I might have seriously considered dropping it. There was some moments I thought were really nice but overall it was just uninteresting. I do like that they part ways at the end.
WAIT, did u just spoil the end?!?!?!?! I'm just reading along not expecting it...

Afaik she wrote that before on here and that time she put it in a spoiler tag. But not this time. Might be a slight mistake.

Doesn't the title do that though 😅 but yeah I should have remembered to put the spoiler. My fault 😔 I fixed it.

I think we have all been there with being influenced by the majority (or the loudest lol). I still find myself falling into that as well, but it's completely normal honestly. We are social mammals after all.
For me, it helps that I see my male straight friends literally act like this with each other. Males really do bond like this in rl so, while I squeal with the other fangirls during bromance moments, it's still easy to except that these guys are just friends and be satisfied with that.
I think that is the bases of the backlash though. A lot of the audience just aren't satisfied with friendship and take it out on the show or production when they already knew it going in. 😅
You can always replace the actors with females. Just think of the time you've seen female friendship dramas/movies hug and comfort each other and how it was never confusing that they were just friends and that's a clear indication of how biased we are towards male friendships.
Okay thanks. With non bl actors I don't think that they are together. I see the clips made out of fanmeets that get cut out of context and music plays in the backround. The creators on social media make it out to be a romantic moment even though it is almost every time a moment of appreciation between friends.
Now to the point what I wanted to say after reading everything and thinking a little bit. I am really annoyed that the world says (some people say) two people are together when they share a deep relationship. Most of the time they are (good) friends.
And something I want to. say unrelated to things said above is that many people sexualize actors even though the moment wasn't meant like that and cut out of context.
