I really like that last part. What bothers me the most about the "evil female" in BLs is not that she's excessively…
Ah yes. I hate when I'm watching viki and there are people in the comments questioning who is top and who is bottom. Who cares! And then writers perpetuate it with the whole wifey / husband thing.
The BL lack of consent issue is what makes me struggle with it as a genre. Also they always make the bottom ill the next day with the fever like, wait, is that what they think happens with anal? Bizarre!

there's definitely internalised homophobia and misogyny. Hence they insist on characters not being gay and only gay for that one person. Sighs in frustration

There is a lot of misogyny and Heteronormative tropes in the BL space sadly which is why I always separate it from Gay Drama. I do think these female writers have a lot of toxicity especially when there's violent sex /rape unnecessarily. I'm here for the love story, not the meddling. Women either resisting or meddling in gay love is weirdly just fiction I hope
An example is Lovely Writer where there weren't any evil women (maybe Aey as a little more feminine) but then they had the producer and the sister who owned the agency upholding some of the negative BL ways.

Right? Given that the majority of BLs are written by women now I'm shocked that this evil female character who refuses to accept that he doesn't fancy here exists. It drives me nuts. Bad enough we have the other dodgy tropes like bully to lover etc. And they never get the right level of karma. Ever. It pisses me off. Let her suffer for meddling. Go get a man who wants you, damn
I like the shows progression and exploration for the 4 guys . It didn't need the stalker girl who doesn't even go to that same school and all the drama she's bringing. Talk about a female incel. She needs to be written out of the show and not do that weak arse apology thing at the end and they all forgive her insidious ways
Glad there's going to be an ep13 and ep12 was good but I do feel that this show fell foul of covid restrictions maybe and poor script editing. It didn't flow like Taiwanese BLs typically flow. Didn't live up to it's full potential.
Thanks. I tried Mexico and got the teaser only. But the usual ones Taiwan, Thailand Philippines weren't working. Grrrr. Same with Given the Japanese BL
I liked Bank more in this one to be fair but yes, the last two felt like fillers until the drama picked up again.…
There's an awkwardness for sure and I feel like a lot is to do with the editing and translation. So some progress seems missing. Like their moment in the water was a bit abrupt. I hear you. It would be ok if Sun and Sky were a more developed story.
Also cray cray woman alert.

Looking forward to next week though!
