This series was kind of strange. Even though I liked their chemistry, the story line just didn't get me at all.…
Same.
My JBL crack is Takara-kun & Amagi-kun. I loved it so much that I bought all the volumes from a Japanese bookstore- it’s only in Japanese so I’ve been slowly translating the books. Only MDL knows how many times I visit.
I was hoping for a more heartbreaking confrontation after where we left off at Ep 11 but I guess reminding us…
Yeah…JBL is one extreme or the other. There is no middle. Or, there rarely is a middle. I feel like it’s partially a cultural thing for sure. But ‘After Moving Seats, The Boy Behind Me Has a Crush on Me’ (seriously, these long ass Japanese titles) has a rare real kiss in this (though I’m not a fan of the uke because he doesn’t really match the description of the character physically and visually age-wise, but whatever). My brain almost 🤯I was that shocked. I thought for sure we weee getting wooden dead fish frozen in time from all angles and close up as usual…nope. Color me shocked.
I think you’re definitely onto something! Is this a book made movie? I’m curious if there’s source material.…
It’s a book made into a drama. I’m reading it now and am about 70% done. So far it paces well with the book. And the end credit moments match with the scenes in the book. I can place them in the timeline. The misunderstanding is significant- But I will preface it by saying Shen Mo has a very good reason for his misunderstandings. We should get this on flashbacks because that’s how the novel feeds us information.
Can you mention all the toxic dramas you watched/watching that you remember from top of your head? I love toxic…
Several BLs of the top of my head. If you do an MDL search for Chinese BLs, you shall find the holy grail of toxic BLs.
Some suggestions include:
-Secret Relationships (🇰🇷) * Thailand is coming out with their own version of this drama -Kill to Love (🇨🇳) -Bittersweet Love (🇨🇳) -To My Shore (🇨🇳) -Thundercloud Rainstorm (🇰🇷)
I haven't been watching many Thai BLs, or completing them, due to the lack of quality lately, so I can't recommend any recent offerings from there. Payback was definitely an exception to this. If you haven't watched it, I think it's worth it. It follows the manhwa (which I loved) very closely.
