Title Bittersweet Love
Hmmmm …………….. Bittersweet Love = Bittersweet BL DRAMA ……………… I honestly don’t even know…
That's why it's bittersweet, according to the dictionary: pleasure accompanied by suffering or regret....There's nothing sweet about the series it's more like a melodrama...It's a blend of suffering and pleasure or pleasure from suffering pain more like a sadist-ish theme...The thing is...in China and Taiwan to such extent have a clear boundaries of who is Alpha/Dominant and Omega/Submissive which is distinctively different from the western point of view....Gay communities in China even have worda to describe who's dominant and whose submissive....It was apart from the western thought that one can be either.....China is still rooted on the patriarchal system that's why there's a distinction....It also happens in Asia as portrayed in most asian bl series/movies....Heated Rivalry/Red, White and Royal Blue them of power dynamics only happens in the West...even Heartstopper takes the power dynamics fluidly which is apart or differnt from Asian diaspora....
