Genuinely, wtf are you talking about? Its like you think Bl just means gay written drama. "Literary elements are the same in every language and culture"? Jesus Christ, what does the universality of the concept of plot have to do with this discussion when the structure of plot differs? Youre really touting the supremacy of Chinese literature while in the same breath trying to subsume Asian literature into Western tradition.

I also have a literarature degree and being adapted from a comic or book isnt what makes something BL so what are you on about?

Also, you trying to compare all of western and chinese literature and using the existence of Heartstopper as proof Chinese is superior overall is bizarre. Finally, you realise western and english arent synonyms, right? Like, theres so many gaps in logic here that I dont know where to start.

There is no denying that China's literary heritage is one of the oldest and greatest, but the rest of your comment had no basis in reality.

For a start, theres no such thing as a western bl. BL is an Asian genre that has no western equivalent so what are you even talking about?

Can you not spoil please. Jesus

The tank is farrrrr too small, open and basic for a turtle that size. Its uncomfortable watching it try to escape from whats basically a small torture trap. I cant relax.

Thank you. I love the Untamed, but didnt know about the other one. 💜

What other bl has he been in?

God thats frustrating. I dont regret watching it. Its one of the best acted and directed dramas Ive seen. The slow burn, ache... just the natural building of their world and their relationship has been excellent, but if theres no season 2, I will be frustrated forever. If there is, all will be forgiven, but thats a lot of ifs and right now, its just frustration.

Boy did you misunderstand major plot points.

I was kind of hoping that was the case and kept pushing through and trying to watch again in that basis. It just felt so icky in light of all the recent celeb suicides to make a drama about how you can save your favourite idol from suicide personally. Like parasocial is bad enough, but even their life and death being in the personal control of a fan just weirded me out.
The spoiler makes me feel a bit better, so thank you.

I couldnt finish lovely runner and I tried three times. I just couldnt move past the how uncomfortable the premise made me at multiple points. Ive got lots of friends who enjoyed it, but I feel like Im missing sth because I felt sick while watching it. What am I not getting there?

I only made it 5 eps in. Is there some massive twist that salvages the s*icide storyline and makes it less creepy/manipulative?

Damn. Not your fault. But I wish I hadnt read this spoiler. 😭

This was ........ 😬 I dont know what your gender is. I havent bought it up once in the conversation. Im not sure why you keep bringing it up. I havent looked at your profile because...what? Youre genuinely behaving in a scary fashion so lets not interact any further.

Twat is british slang for vagina. A lot of slang is misogynistic at its base. If you dont know the the meaning of the slang youre using, try not using it because I shouldnt have to explain this to you. Nor should I have to explain that women can perpetuate misogyny, as you have, at multiple times in this comment section.

I was just thinking how excellent a job he was doing in the role.

"Twat"? And off we go with the misogyny again. Youre a really good person.

The US hasnt tried decriminalized drug use or harm minimisation so you picked a terrible example. Its a conservative country by western standards with strict laws and a racial bias inherent in the drug laws.

You and your 10 comments seem to be on a lovely vendetta against sb you never met. You need a better hobby.

The level of misogyny in this comment thread is appalling. As is the lack of compassion
