It's not about supporting the Chinese government or not, it's about not supporting censored LBGT material. If…
"It's not like the Chinese government cares about whether you boycott or not." ~
Simple, straightforward, fact. Not watching is more up their alley than anything else, they'd be happy if the BL industry in China shriveled up and died. I just ignore people who say they boycott censored BLs, just as their boycotting doesn't matter to China, it doesn't matter to me. I'ma watch it and enjoy it either way.
we have so many common favorite dramas like The Untamed , We Best Love , To my Star etc .
But of course the MOST important one is The Untamed hands down. I can admit The Spirealm is a very close second to my top choice though. I suppose for you that would be Word of Honor?
Just finished ep 4. If they can top ep 3 and 4 in these remaining eps I look forward to it. In ep 3 and 4, emotionally/romantically/plot wise, they did what many BLs fail to do in 12 eps. Nice.
Random note: For anyone in doubt, please know that Ruan Lanzhu tells Ling Jiushi that he is the only exception to Lanzhu not liking to share a bed with anyone. He makes Tan Zao Zao sleep on the floor guys 😂 There is no heterosexual explanation for that.
Are ya'll drunk, why's the rating so low? Just finished ep 4. If they can top ep 3 and 4 in these remaining eps I look forward to it. In ep 3 and 4, emotionally/romantically/plot wise, they did what many BLs fail to do in 12 eps. Nice.
Nah, we were robbed cause episode 3 deserves at least an 8 ep series. It made the first two eps seem like a joke. wtf. But at least ep4 is a continuation so I'm not so mad.

University BLs are hit or miss, this one is a hit so far. Fourever You is trying the same thing rn, but it's more of a miss imo. It's a slippery slope!
I'm sorry but the smile Arm gives when Jet says they're all close right after Arc insults him, when Arc is grabbing…

Okay, so objectively, as someone who is not a fan of 95% of GMMTVs BLs, or a fan of Book and Force (neutral about them), and as someone who still considers Together With Me (a university BL) to be one of the best BLs ever, to this day, I can honestly say this show is not bad at all. The comments here are very black and white, hate or love, either loved by default because of the actors or hated because of the university theme, but all in all, while it's an overdone theme and it has all the usual tropes, it's been done well enough to be entertaining. And entertaining is all it's aiming for and all it needs to be.
Personally, I came to watch this for Santa (and I am still looking forward to seeing more of him), but this is actually surprising me because for the first time I actually like the dynamics of Book and Force's characters. I didn't enjoy them in other BLs they've lead. And the show itself has sort of taken things back to basics with exaggerated moments and bad flirting (Arc's flirting game is negative 1000 LOL) and hammed up situations that could be easily dealt with in a realistic situation, and lots of over dramatics that are laughable. I liked the first ep of this over all.
For people who don't like this type of show or who are not used to it, keep in mind that it's INTENTIONALLY done this way, it's meant to be over the top. It feels a little old school and that's fun imo. If it's done poorly, it flops, but if it's done well, it can be a hit. Let's see how it out.
Side note: 24 eps is not a bad thing, but 1 ep a week is. That airing format is too drawn out.
Considering how the Cn censors work, in order to meet their no-homo needs, some stuff would have to have been…
I think the comment above is talking about Guardian, since what they've mentioned doesn't apply to Blue Canvas as far as I've seen. I was here for the initial release of Blue Canvas and now the re-release, nothing has changed in the re-aired two eps.
A lot actually happened in this ep, like, surprisingly a lot. It felt a little glitchy at some points, a little off track, but it came around toward the end.
Jack is suuuuuper dense. He's one of those types who doesn't learn from mistakes until it's too late. Joke should wear tank shirts more often, looks good on him.
As for the upcoming deal between then boss and Joke, it's gonna be another amusing clusterfuck no doubt, so that'll be a laugh 🤣 I an't help wondering if the Boss' whole game plan is to let the 'three little pigs' fuck up and get caught to get Joke out of the way. Maybe not though, not if he actually believes Joke and his peanut gallery are good at being thieves, which, LOL.
Speaking of the peanut gallery, that was NOT a business presentation, that was a 2nd grade school project that would have gotten a B minus 🤣 The judge who said 'Go play with this at home' was just saying what needed to be said.
I like the build up we're getting here of Jack and Joke's closeness, the predictable 6 episode kiss or hook up is played out AF. The one thing Thai BLs generally can't get right is building up relationships between their leads, but I think they're doing that with Jack and Joker. Some have said there's no sexual tension between them, but I disagree, the thing is, the sexual tension is present in all the places it's not expected to be, and that's been interesting to notice. Like in the latest ep, the sexual tension was present when they were disagreeing in the hospital room at the end, but it actually faded when the music changed to something sentimental and Joke was reaching out slowly to touch Jack. Poof. Gone. It's almost like the director's not sure exactly how to work with the high tension dynamic. Pity, it could be very, very hot to work with. I'm getting flashes of We Best Love S02 'make up' scene, except without the drunkenness. A pinch of aggressiveness, a touch of emotional yelling, a sprig of manhandling, someone's back against a verticle or horizontal surface.
Over all good ep, a little funny and a little serious and a little over the top in some entertaining ways, all good fun. As for Grandma, she knows what's been up with Jack and Joker from the start, she's on that, we don't have to worry, she'll get Jack and Joker them sorted out.

Did the rest of the episodes get released by being chopped up to please censors? It seems to me, that they might…
Considering how the Cn censors work, in order to meet their no-homo needs, some stuff would have to have been cut from eps 1 and 2 to re-air, because eps 1 and 2 don't meet the bull shit 'code' the forced bromances usually follow. But so far eps 1 and 2 are the same as the original run, and it's airing on Gaga, so thus far, it's looking good. Whether it'd be worth watching if it is cut, is down to personal taste.
