They really said "let's take a gardening hobby and a hairdresser job and try and make it deep and emotional, serious and meaningful" I'm on episode 3 and having a hard time not laughing whenever they have some 'intense' discussion or long drawn out scene about the hairdresser and flower thing, I started skipping at some point. The subject matter of this BL is very basic slice of life stuff, who's having deep feelings about their haircut??? It's only 8 eps long though, and Natsuo is easy on the eyes and likeable (despite being a simp for no apparent reason, a trope iI personally find yegh) so I miiiiight stick it out, but I don't even know if I'll make it honestly.
So what about the actors in Takara in Takara’s treasure? Or both of the MLS in Cosmetic Playlover and My Personal…
I watched all of those, except Takara-kun & Amagi-kun, and I dropped two of those BLs, but I remember them and yeah, I never personally found any of those actors attractive. It's not a slight to the actors, it's just my preference, majority of them don't appeal to me. 😆
Same... I don't watch the BTS videos if I'm being real, unless if it's a scene that was cut off from the actual…
I don't mind some bts of the show, it can be funny or interesting to see, but table reading bores me to tears. I think I watched like two clips and moved on. But yes, I am still hopeful for an uncut release of the show Hopefully they'll just go all the way and release it anyway, even in a few months or something.
I'll be honest, I don't possess the level of interest or patience to watch all the table reading bts, probs gonna skip, pick and choose, BUT I think it's awesome they're releasing all of it and I look forward to bts from the actual show recording itself in future.
I think I need to put this on hold. I am struggling to be interested in the story or the characters, but it's possibly because I'm lowkey off BL at the moment. I'll hopefully return to it.
Mainland China actors , crew and film location, but sold and aired internationally. Not aired in the mainland.…
China doesn't have any control over it. It's filmed there by independent/private producers, the censorship board has no way to monitor or stop anyone/everyone in the country from filming. And then once it's done, it's sold abroad and aired abroad, it doesn't go through China's broadcasting board at all. They can't censor it.
Eeeh no stress, I wasn't tryna start nothing lol I was just tryna offer some insight into the fact that their kisses, as they are in the show, are actually pretty good for where we're at with CBL's rn. Your comment was fine, your opinion is fine lol
So, just to weigh in with some info; Until just a few months ago, Chinese BL series have all been censored for several years, no gay stuff allowed out of China. This BL is one of the big ones of a few recently to break out of China, RL was filmed in China but only released internationally, which is the reason they were able to do any gay stuff at all.
Considering the history and struggle of Chinese BL and the risks for the actors and consider the type of content in this BL, the fact we got to see it at all AND that we didn't get dead fish kisses is groundbreaking. If this is your first Chinese BL, you probably don't know all this drama, but let me tell you, you're lucky to see kisses at all, in censored BLs they can't even LOOK at each for too long with affection 🤣
I mean… ppl can like and dislike what they want but calling ppl vanilla and snowflake cuz they can’t handle…
Haha! I thought it was common knowledge. It really does give 'Wattpad energy', that's the ONLY thing worse than 'AO3 chaotic tag one shot energy', but both are SO bad 🤣

It doesn't hurt that the actor playing Natsuo is easy on the eyes. I almost never find Japanese actors attractive, it's novel when it happens.
