American Fan:
I remember it as a cute watch!
I'm on ep. 4 of Venus In The Sky. One half of me wants to stop but the other half loves the quirkiness of it all. It can be slow and a bit boring at times (there is a certain scene though...NOT boring!). Apparently there's enough to keep me going on to the next episode. :-)
Yes, yes~

Fukou-kun wa kiss suru shikanai was short and cute, loved the penguin plush.
(re "Fukou-kun wa Kiss Suru Shikanai!" / Viki: "Mr. Unlucky Has No Choice but to Kiss!") Yes yes yes! Such a cute, sweet comedy - and I say this not only because of my beloved Sota Ryosuke. I especially like the closing scene.

It was cute and it really made me want that penguin plush
I don't like this perpetual coupling of Thai actors.Chun Mo Rionnag:
Rationally I agree with this 100%. It's raw commercialism, and it's not good for the art or for the actors. But emotionally, I will admit that there are some couples I just love seeing together. Me bad.
Agree as well. Moonlight Chicken made clever use of it IMO and sometimes it's reassuring to know who's going to end up together and who isn't.
Don't say you're bad though p43425, it works commercially because it plays on normal human emotions.
The perpetual pairing upsets me most in stories where the best and truly happiest ending would have been letting the main character leave an abusive relationship and move on to a healthier one but that can't happen because it's ship and therefore the only allowable "happy" ending is Cute boys kissing erases everything.

Nope, don't say my bad. I personally love the coupling of actors; it provides certainty and it is what helps to substantiate the romance in the series through fan service and of course the certainty of knowing they will end up together like different reincarnations in different lifetimes destined to be together no matter the story.
Coupling is heavily commercialised because it is what majority fans love and production companies will cater to the majority because that is what makes them the profit to continue making BL content. They are more willing to take a risk splitting up a couple if the couple is new.
However there are disadvantages to this such as inflexibility artistically and lacklustre performances overtime. As much as they are a couple the two actors are not the same; one will have the acting ability to branch out in more serious acting such as in the mafia genre while the other may not and because of the constraints of couple they both will be placed in a mafia series which will turn out to be off putting to say the least and unrealistically portrayed; if you know you know.
Another issue is when a couple has yet to produce a solid series but they keep bringing them back together, i.e LongFrank. There is also the case of having no chemistry but still they put them together, i.e ForceBook (sue me).
That being said we can't deny that when a coupling is right it will always work and seeing them apart will affect you no matter how objectively you try to watch a series where they are not a couple. There are some solid couples out there who have made incredible series on more than one occasion, i.e OffGun, TayNew, MaxTul (rest in piece this ship) Some recent couple that has the bl community obsessed with their coupling is MosBank, JamFilm, MileApo and the many others. When a couple has actors who compliment each other well, personally I don't mind and look forward to their works.
