understood.

I agree. It was not my point though. I can subjectively enjoy a show that is objectively lacking. Eg. Go Princess Go. The show was so bad on so many levels but I thoroughly enjoyed it for what it was. The storytelling was sharp enough to get the kdrama remake Mr Queen.

i always thought of that as love and that platonic and romantic described two expressions of love or attraction. but...i was intrigued by the idea of courting (basis ofromance) a friendship when you used platonic romance.
i always thought that platonic =/= romance. platonic as a bond at the level of confidant/companion only and romance as a bond at the level of a confidant/companion with the implications for sexual intimacy whether or not it's expresssed physically and especially is the courtship or pursuit stage of an intended exclusive unit (doesn't necessarily mean HE).

Towering. The war of words courtship is peak.

Waa! They are all so beautiful. And Son does doting so well.

What is 'platonic romance'?

The lens is focused on the new intimacy for the moment. The relationship will mature out of that most likely into rocky territory. I would say also tha the distrust has been there from the beginning.

Do you have a source for "I think they said for Shine that they wouldn’t follow a BL road."
Was in a couple of comments last week with a few people where I pointed out that this show didn't feel like a bl and that I wouldn't classify it as one. People were coming at me for it thinking I was somehow shading the genre. If the creatives had the intention to not make it a BL, it definitely came across to me.

Fair enough about the langauge and age. It's more about the sentiment though. Still stand on my point.

Make sure to check out the tags first. It's classic chinese BL.

That I get. I just don't get the it's the best show i've ever seen vibe from these two episodes. It's a bit ridiculous.
Edit: leaves me wanting to compare it to love is more than a word (2016). twelve episodes better executed and better acted.

HOW is this being called a masterpiece and so good? The episodes were basicilly info dump. The affect leaves much to be desired. Y'all can roast me for this. I will die on this hill.

Ah.

Singapore

read them all but found this episode highly disturbing. showing r as sexy times (hua's pov) is a blatant disregard for the physical and psychological harm to victims and this character is a repeat offendar at the level of the psychological violation.

i'm used to abo, but this is on a whole other level of ick particularly in this medium where so many eyes are on the material before the final cut.

i get that it's where china's at in terms of it's own bl content evolution, but wow. this is a hard no.

he's kind of stupid tbh and he's the character i anted to root for in the beginning. not the r part but him staying around for dregs not even crumbs.

okay. this show is super disturbing. i'm okay with psychologically dark content, but this beyond the pale. the 2 ML's I would stay away from in rl...and in fiction. there is nothing romantic about the two relationships and to market them as such is what is highly disturbing.

Okay. Me thinking ah I miss pre BL takeover lakorns let me check out one with epic pining. Finally decided on Buang Banjathorn 2017. Me being like, why does this unimpressive guy (that was what I remembered from my first watch a few years ago) seem familiar? Then. me being like what!!?? APO!!! 👀

Anywho.

This week's episode was lovely. No notes.✅

i was shooked. always found him beautiful.

And where did I comment about high school innocent romance. If you want to make a comment about my intellect first understand what I wrote and don't make assumptions about what you think I mean.
