I AM HERE FOR THIS. I wish Taiwan (and maybe even China in some near future) would create more BL's. There's a certain quality to them that is different from Thailand and SK. In ep 3 I loved the smooth way ShangZhou checked Shunyu on the fact that he doesn't have an issue with same sex relationships. It was like the gate of possibility opened right then and there for SZ. And the waking up scene in ep 5? GOLD! Keen for ep 6.
Jun & Jun is probably my favourite Korean BL Even though I'm not really into office romance. I haven't watched…
I would absolutely say yes to you to try watching The 8th Sense, but it's angsty here and there so if that's not your thing you may not like it. But it's amazing imo, really fantastically done and well acted. If you watch it, I'd love to hear what you think! Jun & Jun is good, I enjoyed it. It's well done. Rating should be higher.
I'm not sure why the rating isn't higher, this show was actually really well rounded and enjoyable and the ML's chemistry and comfort levels with each other far exceeded the other Korean BL's I've seen (The 8th Sense and Semantic Error being the exceptions). Sure, maybe the 'office content' was a little heavy handed but that is a minor issue and didn't affect the quality of this imo.
Not sure why the rating for this isn't higher, this show nailed A LOT of things that other BL's lack. The acting was just a little inexperienced and so some of the dialogue and scenes seemed stiff, but the story and progression of events were good and interesting, the pairing is healthy and straightforward and likeable, as are the side characters. If they make a season 2, there's a lot of potential for improved acting. I'd be keen.
I ended up dropping this halfway through 11 BUT not because it's bad. The break I took was just too long away from watching and I couldn't get back into it the same way, possibly because I picked it up on ep 10 which felt disconnected from previous eps. This show is very well done though.
Finally getting back to watching this after a while, watched ep six and still enjoying it. I laughed when he bit Jiang Chi because I didn't expect that 🤣
I really like them too. MaxTul have always been (and will always be) my number one Thai BL pairing, but MosBank…
I had to search who Mile Apo are. It's just different tastes and ideas of what is good in the end. I dropped KinnPorsche tbh, didn't enjoy it and the actors didn't appeal to me. But that's just my opinion. I still say MaxTul, MosBank and SantaEarth are my top three Thai BL faves.
I dropped it cause I got stuck on watching something else, by the time I came back it was long over. If anyone's willing to answer, I just wanted to know what happened with Yoong Hee and Soen Woo (separately I assume). And whether MS got with Hyeon Jun ended up together?
Western series, are you talking about Royal Blue something ?
Nah, it's a dark comedy fantasy. Read up first! It's clickable on my profile or you can Google it. Watch this series at your own risk, the fandom is half dead after the S02 finale 😭
Western series, are you talking about Royal Blue something ?
Nah bro, I haven't even watched that yet. I'm talking about Good Omens S02. I am NOT OKAY. It killed me. In a good and bad way. Haven't continued any other series yet. I am still in need of recovery, just rewatching GO and dying inside. Do you know Good Omens?
Ep 11 definitely felt weird because it's mostly us living for the next 10 years or so (from their university graduation…
I'll probably finish it, maybe with some skipping. ep11 definitely felt less interesting than the previous 10 had built up to. Not sure what to expect in ep12.
This series is good,i think you should give it another try as you forgot many stuffs
I didn't forget it though, that's the reason it's the first BL I thought of when I decided to come back. Episode 11 just felt like less interesting somehow.
Guys halp. Okay, so I had to put BL away for a while because a western series season finale took me out. I'm actually still recovering. But I'm trying to get back on the BL horse and this BL was the first one that came to mind because it had been so enjoyable. I stopped on ep10, so I watched ep11 today and I feel like I missed something. Am I still in need of recovery or was episode actually a snoozefest???? I'm about to drop this, but I can't understand why, I remembered it being, like so good. Is it just me...?
Does anyone know what SW meant by "YH is my homework". Is that a Korean phrase?
I could be wrong, but I assumed he meant he had to sort out some unfinished business, clear some things up, have the necessary discussion they had. Maybe it is a similar expression to 'tie up loose ends'. Alternatively, he could have meant he felt like YH was a responsibility he had to tend to. NB: I'm not Korean, so if it's a Korean expression maybe someone who is Korean can answer more decisively.
Took me watching these two eps over two days to get through them, I feel like it dragged on a bit, as watching awkward personal conversations of others would. But the chance for them to have conversations was definitely necessary obviously, it also revealed a few more negative and positive points about some of the guys to viewers too.
By this point, for me personally, based on their personalities as observed in the show, Yoong Hee, Seon Woo and Hyun Jun are the ones I remain supportive of. I feel like they're the most true and genuine to themselves. I've never thought it makes sense to compromise or over extend oneself for other people, potential love interest notwithstanding, so for me, the way they handled themselves in the show has been good.
In particular I think the way Hyun Jin handled MS's wishy washy behaviour in recent eps was good, and especially in ep 13 when after sharing his feelings honestly, he said 'I can't wait forever, I'm not the type to wait'. I was like ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗʸᵃᵃᵃᵃᵃᵃˢᵎᵎᵎ He's been so sincere about his feelings without being obnoxious, pushy, simpy or coming across as desperate, even when he was having major feels about the whole mess. Very good form.
I also think JW has handled his time in the house as well as he could despite how things have played out for him.
Bu Xia is being so willfully clueless, he KNOWS, he just doesn't want to KNOW yet. 🤣 I like that when Jiang Chi said his father collapsed and started packing, Bu Xia's immediate reaction was to help him pack and encourage him to go. I feel like it was an easy and plain way to show that even though he needs Jiang Chi for the shield from the ghosts, he does actually care about him as a person genuinely. He's not just self serving.
Jun & Jun is good, I enjoyed it. It's well done. Rating should be higher.
