I'm sorry other people were rude to you when they called you out for being rude (oh the irony). But I do feel…
You do have a point about good looks in a romance. In real life, we might not fall in love with people solely because of their looks, but once we are in love with them, they will look good in our eyes, even if they could never earn their living on the runway or the movies. In romance dramas, for the viewer, the good looks of the leads is supposed to echo that feeling of how someone stands out for us above other people. It makes it easier for us to experience that feeling, of understanding why they fall for each other. But if either or both of the leads don't appeal to us at all, it's harder for us to get "into" the romance and engage with it. I'd like to think that I'm not that shallow IRL, with ordinary people, but when watching romantic plot lines, I absolutely prefer it if both leads are attractive to me. So yeah.
Not going to watch this because i think the ukes/bottoms are unattractive imo. Especially the one in the purple!…
I'm sorry other people were rude to you when they called you out for being rude (oh the irony). But I do feel that commenting on people's looks *is* kind of problematic. I find a lot of BL actors not really to my liking, it's a personal preference thing, but I try to refrain from making my commentary all about their looks, since that's a trend I dislike and find damaging in a wider perspective. Even when it comes to celebrities who literally live off their looks. It contributes to increasingly unhealthy beauty standards and reinforces toxic discourse about them, IMO, leading to unrealistic expectations and low self-esteem in a a lot of people.
So yeah, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion, like everyone else. I just wanted to point out that commenting negatively on someone's looks isn't all that harmless or innocent. Of course you can still express those opinions, but then other people are also allowed to react to them (although if people call someone rude but is even ruder in return, they kind of invalidate their own argument.)
I liked Your Sky, and I like the actors. But am I the only one who though that was a terrible trailer? I mean,…
Normally a "pilot" in Thai industry terms is more like a pitch trailer, made to gauge fan interest and attract sponsorship. It's usually made long before they actually start filming the series. So when/if the actual series comes out, it may look significantly different.
I see so many people in the comments saying this is a BL version, but have they actually announced that it is? Because the og movie is not, and this doesn't have the "romance" tag.
Will supposedly premiere on VIU in March https://x.com/BLUPDATE2022/status/1884204436471628124
The synopsis in the tweet sounds pretty different from the one here on MDL: "Fifa, a student preparing for his university who was tasked to take care of this grandma in the province during the summer break where he met Chief Hem, a forest ranger."
I watched this today in our local indie cinema and it was such a great movie. I cried several times toward the end. Billkin is first billed and he was really good in it. His journey from a callous, failed young gamer who only cares about himself to a young man who has learned empathy and humanity is subtle and powerful and utterly convincing. Sometimes you can end up in the right place for all the wrong reasons. I can definitely recommend it. The lady who plays the grandma is so good too, and to think this is her debut role! I absolutely thought she was a seasoned actress, but Billkin is in fact her senior in the acting profession!
and honestly it's totally ok if u don't like itThis needs high tolerance frr lmao
I guess there's something for everyone! For the record, I really like comedy BL, just because we don't have the same sense of humour doesn't mean I only like "serious BL"
I just watched 3 minutes of episode 3 and had to nope out. Reading the comments here, it seems I made the correct decision... I was already not wowed by episode 1 and 2, so I guess this series is not for me... How does it have such a high rating
I literally stopped watching right after that scene. I feel like most writers wouldn't dare have a scene like…
I agree that it wasn't shown as titillating, it was shocking but not titillating. I'm still unconvinced why that scene was necessary, and I don't think the way either girl acted felt realistic to me, but I'll give it one more episode. Interestingly, a very similar scene took place in the BL "Perfect Propose" and that also felt off to me, although most viewers didn't seem to think very much of it, which says something about how hard it is for men who have experienced SA to be taken seriously. Scenes like that are or used to be very common in BL and I guess GL is not excluded from the trope either.
But Megumi was asleep, not trying to get it on with her or being suggestive at all. I've woken up in the exact same situation (though it was a guy and he was *not* sleeping in my bed) and it made me super scared and angry. He was also trying to claim that he thought I'd wanted it, even though I was fast asleep. I screamed at him until he left. I would have reacted the same if it was a woman.
