Thanks for telling us it's not BL.Now I don't need to waste time watching it.
This made me laugh.
Anyways Candra, there is a wide gap between gay romance movies and BLs. While the former is more serious, the latter is cuter and much less realistic. I think the kind of relief BL provides is different from what a more serious genre will provide, and these is what its fans are after. If they wanted a more serious series, I believe they'll go for that but a person looking for a BL is a person looking for a BL. They get disappointed if they think a show is a BL and then it turns out it's not. It's like placing an order for pasta and getting macaroni when you really wanted spaghetti. The macaroni might be really tasty but it doesn't change the fact that that isn't what you wanted. It also doesn't mean spaghetti is the only kind of pasta you like, it just means you want spaghetti.
I'm going through the cast of Boundary Crossing and the ages of the cast are surprisingly... Mature. I'm not complaining as I prefer watching adults over kids (like the kids in Make It Right), but it was nice to see someone who's the same age as myself.
I don't know why I didn't like this, maybe I didn't get it or is it only not my type? I was watching but I didn't…
Mai Ding's character is supposed to be childish, annoying and very emotional while An Zi Yan is stoic and anti-social. Personally, I like peace and quiet so I got jumpy whenever Mai Ding was being annoying and all over the place. While I don't see myself dating someone whose personality contrasts mine with that much degree, the story does play well that way. It showed how An Zi Yan hated Mai Ding's disturbance at first but then got so used to it he fell deeply in love with him. I think at the end of the day, that is what love is. Being able to look past all the reasons you can't like someone but then like them anyways. And it took me a while to figure out that while the title is “Like Love”, they're actually trying to say, “This isn't like love, this is love”. I think you should watch with an open mind.
