What Real BL Actors Go Through in Real Life: Lovely Writer Shows the Struggles Behind the Ships

Just finished Lovely Writer (2021) and wow, what a beautiful journey! 😍📚

The story follows Gene, a professional writer who unexpectedly hits big with a new genre—Y (Boys' Love). His novel becomes a massive hit 📖💥, so much so that it gets adapted into a TV series. When the casting begins, Gene’s not too bothered about it... until he meets Nubsib, an actor who quickly becomes captivated by him. 🥰🎬

I came here after watching Up from My Stand In, and let me tell you, his acting range is insane! In My Stand In, he's cold, aggressive, and a total red flag 😳. But in Lovely Writer, he’s such a sweetheart with those cute glasses, and his grumpy demeanor is so endearing. It's crazy how he can switch between such contrasting characters! Honestly, he's such a great actor. 🎭✨

I also came here after watching Kao from Until We Meet Again—he is SO handsome 😍 and an amazing actor as well. Together, they make such a green flag couple—like, relationship goals for sure! 💚

What really sets this show apart is that it doesn’t just focus on the fluffy romance, but also the real challenges that BL couples face in the public eye. It highlights the toxic fanbases that sometimes cause problems for the actors, with fans shipping them together even though they might have real-life partners. The impact on their relationships is heartbreaking and so relatable. 😔 It really makes you think about the pressures that actors face in the industry. 🌟

I honestly can’t believe I missed this gem from over 4 years ago! 😱 So glad I finally watched it. I’ll definitely be rewatching soon! Highly recommend this series if you want a deep, heartfelt BL drama with a mix of sweetness and reality. 💖

Rating: 9.5/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
