Check the discussion forum for this drama (you can find it on the MDL website, not the app). Someone wrote a very comprehensive introduction to omegaverse there.
It's a Chinese BL so yeah, pretty tame. The novel is SIGNIFICANTLY more explicit. The spice mostly happens in…
Yes, it was KinnPorsche that blew off the ceiling in that respect and set off a wave of more explicit BL in Thailand. There are some earlier examples, like MaxTul's "Together With Me", but most of that was just very suggestive blocking and bold hinting, they didn't actually show the deed being acted out. You might say they were the forerunners, paving the way for KP down the road. I doubt Taiwan, Japan and Korea will follow in those footsteps any time soon. Part of that is because of target audiences and media culture. Even straight romance dramas are usually pretty tame in those countries when it comes to showing intimacy and kissing. They most likely want their BL dramas to be more "family friendly".
As for RL, they are going as far as they reasonably can while protecting the integrity and future careers of the actors. What we are getting is quite on par with what Thai BL was generally like before KP. Thailand is the outlier here in its current permissiveness.
Wow, this is so cinematic! Beautifully filmed, excellent acting, full of subtle hints and undercurrents, definitely ambitious in all the right ways (i.e., very high, but with the ability to clear the bar you set). Mile is oozing charisma as Thanwa, like some kind of outlandish fey creature, and Apo perfectly portrays his tightly buttoned up and at the same time idealistic young character Trin, finding himself in over his head. And the work they've put into the settings, costumes and styling—it was picture perfect period style, really evoking the era to a tee. Colour me impressed. Very excited to see where this is going. I do NOT expect this to be a typical BL story (or even a BL at all, really). My expectations for this is a highly political period drama with queerness folded into the mix. And I'm here for it.
Can be watched in a compilation on Chuliu Short Drama youtube channel, which seems to be an official channel. Unfortunately without English subtitles https://youtu.be/2vu_w5PhbQI
It's not censored, because they're only airing it outside of the Chinese mainland on non-Chinese platforms. So the Chinese censorship board can't really do anything about it.
Chi Cheng already knows who he values most. It's WSW who has to understand, choose, and come clean. Also, cutesy? I think we probably have very different definitions of what "cutesy" means, haha (I would never refer to RL as cutesy)
soo many ppl saying that this is getting boring after WS entry but honestly that wang shuo guy's entry make this…
Those are the people who just want 24 episodes of fluff and fanservice, with no plot or character/relationship progression. But that's not what RL is, lol

Chinese mainland censorship laws do not affect Taiwanese dramas. It's because it's really just Thailand that does the really explicit BLs, and it's also a fairly recent development even in Thailand.
Is there an uncut version, or is this just pretty tame? It seems the love scenes are pretty much off camera, which…
That's because people share just the spiciest snippets. BL has really only become explicitly spicy in the last couple of years, and mostly in Thailand. Many Korean and Japanese BL are still doing DFKs or the odd kabedon and nothing more. To see as much as we do in RL is actually pretty amazing.
I like both couples but for me nothing beats the main couple's chemistry. That's what drew me into this show.
I agree, the main couple is the main ingredient that keeps me eating, but the side couple is like a side dish that provides a sweet counterbalance and makes the whole meal more delicious.
I think s/he's transgender or non-binary, so not a man exactly
If you watch the entire episode you'll see that it's set in a fictional country where it's obviously illegal to present yourself as any other gender than the one you were assigned at birth. They start by saying that Prince gets a police call after every performance for this reason. We also see the police turning up by the bedside later. So there may be in-story reasons why Prince is not presenting as completely feminine. But it may also be true that they see themselves as both, or neither, but leaning more feminine than masculine. This gender essentialistic thinking is damaging to people who are not trans or nonbinary as well, since there is a huge variation naturally and people are being questioned and harrassed about their gender even when they are cis, simply because people don't think they look the way they "should" look. Who decides if someone is "man" or "woman" enough? If a trans woman is not "woman" enough to be in the ladies' bathroom, what about a trans man? Where are people supposed to go if they don't fit into the traditional gender binary? I am a cis woman and I understand the need for safe spaces for women, but trans women are in fact very unlikely to harass cis women; in fact, the people who are most likely to be harrassed are the trans people themselves. Trans people could in fact be our best allies, but instead the trend has been to alienate them and vilify them, which I personally think is just playing into the hands of the patriarchy.
Imo, in the show SW is primarily using his interactions WZ to try and make CC jealous. When he said he likes him,…
Yes, intention and action. Finding someone else attractive is not cheating, acting on that attraction is. Having intimacy forced on you without your consent is not cheating. Talking to other people and being friendly to them without any other intention is not cheating.
Just saw this on x and it's a positive thing that Revenged Love is the most watched BL that's airing right now…
I just went there to add some positive comments. Let's drown out these toxic entitled posts with supportive and affirmative comments! And let's not get drawn in to fight with the unhinged commenters, that will just add more headache for the poor Gaga admin. Just show them that some of us appreciate them and think it's all good!
