Because BL's are written for women who want a gay man to fall in love with them.

I like the more adults storyline and sex-positive aspects, but since I'm so used to seeing these guys as teenage high school students it all feels a bit wrong. Hehe. I mean, I know they're all well above age, but I can't stop picturing them as teens.

Everyone has different taste. I'm glad you liked it.

Looking forward to the shower scene!

they're 19 and never been in a relationship before. And it's BL. A break up, insecurity, and poor communication are de riguer.

I found the first episode slow and fairly boring. But Perth is my all time fav, and Chimon is always stellar, so I'm here for it.

I've reached my limit. I will watch til the end on 1.5x speed and just fast forward to the Sunny scenes to see him again, but I'm done with this plot and characters.

Had to DROP. All over the place. Maybe the subs were bad, but the dialogue was horrible. The plot was ridiculous. Just didn't care about anybody.

Loved it. Greg Hsu is amazing and super super super cute. Funny, good action, a decent mystery and some nice, touching moments. The last scene with the Dad was beautiful. I'd watch again and again.

This was a super fluffy episode (#7), but I'm done with this series. It never really held my interest. Pun is far too childish for me. And I find myself not caring one bit if they end up together or not. Bosston needs a lead role ASAP. DROPPED.

Not interested in this type of dynamic or relationship. Not for me. DROPPED

But at least like, not rude.

A promising first episode. The passion is high in this series for sure and I'm intrigued how it will progress from here. Some decent characterizations. Acting is strong across the board. I've always liked Mark, but somehow he's even better than ever here. So adorable (even when forced to make sex faces on his own. Haha). Looking forward to the next.

Not my favorite. This was decent, but I never felt the chemistry between the leads. I don't care about any controversy or past behavior, but I'm just not a fan of Krist in this particular show (I liked him A LOT in SOTUS, even though I did not like that series). I just didn't feel anything from him. Even Gawin, who has been a fav of mine since DBK was not as strong as he has been in other series. They did a decent job with the time travel, although I felt like they played fairly loosely with their own rules. I liked the friends a lot. But this one never affected me at all. I didn't care if they got together or not. Will not watch again.

Ugh. Even though I had seen enough spoilers to anticipate the ending, I HATE an ending like this. If I was writing for the show... it's exactly the ending I would write. But as an audience. ARGH. I want closure. The last episode was so montage/flashback heavy it really detracted from the weight of these events. But all in all, a beautiful season with spectacular performances all around. I certainly will watch single episodes again just to be near these two boys. And I hope S2 doesn't take a year or more. I don't think I can wait that long. Having read Book 2, I'm curious how much of that will show up in S2.

Yes, I know I'm in the minority. But everything is subjective. I didn't like the Barbie movie as much as everyone else, either.

Of course, we can express our opinions without confrontation. I appreciate your point of view. Thanks for sharing.

I don't blame the show. I blame the censors. Is it frustrating? Hell yes. Do I want more? Hell yes Homophobic? Absolutely. Can they give me what I want? No. They can't. I can't fault this production for doing the most they thought they could get away with without being banned or worse.

Back in the day, US censors would not allow husbands and wives to share a bed on screen. STRAIGHT.... MARRIED... HETERONORMATIVE couples. Hollywood found ways around it, implied a lot more and left it up to our imaginations. Does that make Casablanca a bad movie? When you're censored, you have to come up with little ways to imply what everyone KNOWS. Like lube on bedsheets, or an unbuckled belt.

I understand and agree for the most part with your issues, but we all knew this was going to be a challenging adaptation, given the source material and the country of origin.

That all being said, I think they could have done more to imply the nature of the relationship and still gotten away without being censored. There was a lot of filler and fluff rather than relationship development.

No. No. No.

No. No. No.
