Did you see episode 2? Why would you think that's editing? It's not. Or have you not seen either season of the show, and are asking if they use camera angles to make it look like they are kissing? It's obvious they are really kissing on both season 1 and 2.

Yes they break up. There's a communication breakdown, a misunderstanding and temporary heartbreak.

Hello Monster was good, interesting plot. That's the show I first saw him on.

HIS3 Trapped versus Cherry Magic is a good example of how ratings don't reflect artistic merit, though. For non-professional critics part of rating shows is just how you feel about a show over all, it's not a scientific process. Like I have them rated the same, even though Cherry is better made. It's just that I personally find the super awkward Japanese show style a bit boring, even though I come from a non-English speaking culture that relates deeply with awkward and silence. In the end, what I do and don't like about each of the shows balances out and they get around the same rating.

So Keam, you know who you're into, finally? Silly double entendre noted.
Keam: Ball, you want my *egg?
Ball: ??? (Excuse you! Say what now? Rude!)
Keam: ...I mean my boiled eggz.
Ball: Ummm... no thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, I kinda got that impression, but then I started to seriously doubt myself lol. Hopefully it will be awesome!

Yeah, I think it's nice, but it's not quite as cohesive as say Together With Me( 8.0), or even 2gether (7.9) which went downhill towards the end. I mean the script doesn't feel as well thought out and the acting has some really good moments, but sometimes devolves into delivering lines accompanied by excessive head bobbing etc. (Also, please could they not film up the actors nostrils lol. That's probably just my personal issue though.) Anyhow, Nitiman is less all over the place than Love Sick from 2014 rating at 7.7 and less oh so boring to me than say Theory of Love at 8.1. I should probably adjust my own rating scale, since 7.6. feels a bit low for this, but I still don't know how I could rate it an 8.0.

Does anyone know what exactly WeTV are releasing on the 25th? I thought it was just one special episode, with unreleased material...But there's been some weird stuff said around my interwebs, so now I'm confused.

LOL! What? This is from Taiwan, where gay marriage is legal, they don't ban stuff.
Also, they make BL series like We Best Love.

Did you not read the info provided at the top of the page?

I think you are arguing over semantics. Your definition of incest isn't an universal truth (valid for all times and in all places), like you said yourself. Therefore you can't say "it is incest, becauses it is". That's claiming an absolut that simply is not true. Same goes for the people that claim it's not incest. Everyone is just giving their subjective opinion. To some cultures it's about genetic relationships, to others also social family relationships. It's incest and it's not incest, both are true at the the same time.

It really depends, doesn't it? When she wishes for doom, does it have to be the doom of the entire world or can it be something smaller and less destructive. Did the show state that clearly? I might have missed it, annoying lol. So yeah, could she wish foor a tiny doom to spare her loved one and everyone else with semantics? ...Or does calling for Doom/him just mean that she can call him to fulfill a wish? He asked her a couple times "Is that your wish?" when she said bad things about her ex boyfriend for example.

I'm also old, as in I was alive in the 80's kind of old. I've seen that scene several times too.

Shu Yi asks Shi De to stop with the dramatics twice. The strongest "NO" to his touch I saw, was when he tried to twist himself away after Shi De kissed his neck. I don't think Shu Yi looks scared, although I see how and where you might think he does. I think that expression is intently searching, full of puzzlement and anger. From the beginning Shu Yi observes Shi De like he is under a microscope trying to figure out why Shi De is feeling or doing any of this when, in Shu Yi's mind, he left Shu Yi for a woman.

Shu Yi is trying to resist his own feelings more than Shi De's actions. He kisses Shi De back in the beginning and then tries not to, because Shu Yi doesn't want to admit, to himself or Shi De, he still has feelings, the feelings Shi De asked about.

The hand over Shu Yi's face was uncomfortable to look at. The intent was "please can we not talk right now", and it would have felt less distressing if it had just been a finger on the lips or something. The way Shi De covered half of his face, besides evoking a visceral reaction, also obscured Shu Yi's reactions unnecessarily. Shu Yi continued to do battle with his own feelings; do I admit I Iove Shi De, or do I make him stop.

The whole scene is supposed to be uncomfortable and sad, complicated and emotional.
The song that they play is Unbreakable Love, to me it just denotes that they both still have feelings for each other. In conclusion, the scene is not pretty, but I don't think it is as rapey as you think.

This is a totally random suggestion but have you seen "Lost in Austen", a four-part 2008 British television series for the ITV network. It's a fantasy adaptation of Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Amanda, a woman from modern London, enters the plot of the novel through a portal in her bathroom, to join the Bennet family and affect events disastrously. She pretty much takes the place of Elizabeth Bennet, only she is a surprise guest at their household. It's on youtube, I think.

The WBL novels are available for purchase on Google Play. They are in Chinese, but people have used the translator embedded in the reading program to read them in English. You can find them by googling: google play+wbl1 and google play+wbl2. The translations are somewhat messy (autogenerated?), so you might find them a bit difficult to read. Just a friendly WARNING, be aware of the language issue, if you decide to buy them!

I think PSY falsely described himself as completly emotionless to get rid of YZX. In the intro to episode 6 he says "I can't push him away, or lie to myself anymore." So, wasn't it more like PSY was unwilling to deal with any feelings he migh have had?? PSY did jealously guard items he associated with YZX, like the mug and noodles, just like YZX kept that crate of PSY's stuff as a memento because of his feelings for PSY. Anyway, I'm also confused.

I think SWOS would be called erotica which is basically porn tbh. That's not what I was referring to. A good novel can be titillating or not, it totally depends on how the story is told. I guess I was trying to say I don't understand when reviewers fail to see emotional connection or character development in well written smexy times.

Yeah, misogyny is a gift that keeps on giving. You have contempt for the effeminate gay guy, while at the same time force heteronormative stereotypes on gay people. It's all so freaking logical.

I'm still hoping this series might have something good to say, even if it's just very little among all the antics. That stepbrother is perceptive, but that doesn't negate the fact that he is also a rapey stalker. Can't really see how they'd be able to redeem that. I'm interested in what they are going to do with MR and LC.

I read MM book reviews on goodreads so as not to go in blind. Helps filter out the worst of it, the problem at this point is the ones that complain about too much sex no emotional connection. Often it feels like we didn't even read the same book, because I saw a lot of emotional connection, lol.

I’m more familiar with Western MM romance than BL and yaoi. There can be stupid stuff in MM (I’ve probably read hundreds in the last 10 years), but I was shocked by the sex scene in the first BL/yaoi I read. It was rape, it read like a twisted deflowering of a female at that. I was pretty much dazed for a whole day trying to process it all. I understand that there is a tradition of routinely feminizing one character, and apparently a bit of an obsession with seme/uke, personally I don’t like any of that.

However, the only way I could make some sense of it was thinking about the analysis of the first (1970’s) FM bodice rippers, where the heroine was basically raped to begin the, so called, hot part of the relationship, because women were not supposed to be sexual beings, they had to be forced. Women were not allowed to say NO, but they were not allowed to say YES either. So, a complete erasure of personal autonomy was called romance, Yuck.

Personally I don't need everything to be squeaky clean, I'm okay with nuance and can watch and read stuff I disagree with, up to a point. Like I will watch this series, and I even read the rest of that BL novel, mostly because I only had a few pages left, but I'm not reading anything by that author again. I suppose all this is on a continuum and we can just hope for better representation and more awareness from both the audience and the creators.

I want an extended cut of the whole season (and why not season 1 too)! They dared to leave out the part where Shu Yi saw Shi De's 67th email to him. Shu Yi's gaze was all soft and he sat on Shi De's lap to look at it. They made me cry, and it wasn't even in the episode. I'm feeling pretty grumpy.
