Even though Gaga calls this a BL in the synopsis on their site, this has not been marketed or publicised as such in Japan. It's an LGBTQ drama, not a BL. Depending on your preferences, this is not necessarily a bad thing, but if you are looking for a cute Japanese BL, look elsewhere or adjust your expectations.

Yeah, you may have a point. This is basically prostitution, and there's often a very blurred line between prostitution and coerced sex, since many sex workers probably wouldn't resort to it if they had any other choice. And romanticising either is very icky.
I think Thai BL was worse in the early days, on the whole, but there seems to be a resurgence of the toxic tropes recently.

There's plenty of wholesome BL with no grape or even a trace of dubcon. And judging from the trailer it's not even grape but a transactional thing... But yeah, it's probably not super wholesome. And I guess by now we have to accept that Longlee likes these roles, or his management does. And a subset of the BL fandom does as well, or they wouldn't continue making this kind of BL.

Well said. Talking sh!t about others in order to prop up your own faves actually does them a disservice, it just makes everyone think that those faves can't shine with their own light. I've seen good and bad from every country. We can just be happy that there's a plentitude on offer and something for everyone.

They're what now 🤣

It's listed now

The tumblr link claims that the original author of the story this is based on might possibly (there's no proof) once have made a disparaging comment on a podcast about a Japanese boy group with an androgynous style.

Thank you, it worked now.

To be fair, I read it the same way snightingale did. You might want to rethink your phrasing if you don't want people to misunderstand.

It's a slow burn but you'll be satisfied in the end

Post does not exist?

Maybe if they make enough people believe it's true, they can manifest it into existence 😂

Don't take fan edits seriously, some fans just spread their own delulu head canon around as if it were facts.

🤣🤣🤣

I think the rich ones do (like, their wealthy parents buy them a condo, like Qin's parents in this series). Others live in single or shared dorm rooms, which we've seen in a number of other series.
