It was bad enough that the stylist gave Kevin oversized clothes for his character. but that borrowed jacket that…
For real and it even looked too big for the other guy! I am kinda getting thrown off with the infantilization of Kevin’s character.

siyeol is bad ... using innocent person who really was in love with him to his own revenge of someone else
Yeah and I hope when everything is eventually revealed he doesn’t get forgiven so easily.
On My Bias Is Showing?! Sep 4, 2025
Another great two episodes! I am really enjoying the changes made and the exploration into the side couple plot line. Makes for a much more interesting and cute watch. The story does seem off paced but it is a shorter drama with just ten 25 minute episodes so it can’t be helped. I am glad they aren’t touching those dubious borderline non consent scenes from the Manhwa with a ten foot pole. I was hesitant on continuing watching this after reading the Manhwa but this is turning out really well. Can’t wait for next week!

I can’t believe its over! Such an amazing drama with a capstone finale. It’s definitely a must watch and an…
Also, I think opinions will change once those users find out about that one scene in the finale. Which will be sad since it’s a really good story and whether a drama has those types of scenes or not shouldn’t be a hill to die on.
On High School Return of a Gangster Aug 31, 2025
I’m five episodes in and I just have to say that this is such a good drama. Usually, I find shows centered around gangsters cringey but these actors are amazing and make those scenes believable and exciting. The same goes for the action scenes, excellently shot not to make yourself dizzy and I like how the main lead doesn’t immediately win every fight and has to learn and overcome. The plot and the way the gangsters are interwoven with corporate parents and high school is fascinating.

Now for the censored stuff. Honestly from what I have seen so far I can see this as a BL story. Or rather one that doesn’t make being homosexual the characters’ entire personality/identity. It’s refreshing especially after seeing so many low-quality dramas that are explicitly labeled gay. Although it’s not outright you can definitely feel the romantic connection/tension between the two leads with the subtle dialogue, gentle touches, and the longing looks most would miss. I mean they had a short jealousy arc, basically a breakup arc, and now a beach scene and from the preview of where I left off a date episode.

Sure it would be nice for them to have more physically intimate scenes or even a kiss but to me, I'm definitely feeling the BL vibes and to have a compelling plot with amazing production definitely makes this a top ten drama for me.

It’s good so far! I really like the changes made from the Manhwa except the no cherry blossom. It’s cute and at first I didn’t like the extreme awkwardness of Na AeJun but it grew on me and makes sense for his character. It felt cringy at times but it is a fanboy meeting his idol. Oh and the actor playing the idol is so cute like a big puppy! As another commenter mentioned, he does remind me of Cha Joowan. Can’t wait for the next episodes and it’s releasing two episodes every Thursday!

Amazing perspective! I’ve only been watching BLs (or bromances) and I have been considering watching this show because of the plot and “drama” is intriguing except for the love rival/triangle. The body switching reminds me a lot of “God’s Favor” (still need to watch but I’ve been putting it off) or even “The Promise of the Soul”. I haven’t watched many dramas like that with a loving each other no matter the circumstance theme. It’s really romantic! I’ll probably binge this when the final episode comes out.

so does anybody know if he’lol stay as a man ??? is there web series someone somebody read?/// lol I wanna know…
It’s adapted from a WEBTOON but from what I’ve seen the drama is quite different. More stakes and drama while the webcomic is lighthearted. The latest episode (56) really pulled a crazy twist after they kiss as men.

I have to learned a hard way sometimes to not trust MDL viewers rating 😅 sometimes they gave low rating to…
It’s unfortunate this series is being rated so low but I am happy to see all the positive comments because it's a really amazing slice of life drama. I noticed too often that many will overlook the quality acting, plot, character development, relationship development, production, and soundtrack if there’s not overt sexualization. Even though there is chemistry and even kissing in this series, it's probably not as explicitly tasteless as some hoped. Now I don’t mind physical intimacy in dramas but when it becomes the main focus, it most often brings the quality of other aspects of the drama down. Such as the plot regressing to a ferry between NC scenes or the characters becoming one-dimensional. I just don’t see the appeal to those dramas as many other users on this site do. It’s why I now associate “Bromance” comments with “I should definitely watch this”. Also, not to talk badly about the source material but I have to say that the writers on this drama did an excellent job expanding and improving on the story. To take such an explicitly shallow (plot-wise) manga and turn it into a top ten drama for me is absolutely amazing. I hope the same can be done with “My Bias is Showing”.

Title Kill to Love
Talking about censorship in WOH is wild... did you even watch it? They literally confess and flirt with each other…
I’ll definitely check it out! The first “Chinese” BL I watched was Revenged Love and it was amazing at first until the “get them to sleep together and when’s the next time they sleep together” arc. The plot took a back seat and I just couldn’t get through it! I heard it gets better after but I’m definitely interested with these historical dramas and I heard the Chinese ones are the best out there.

Yeah one of my all time favorite Drama had at most one on screen kiss but the story and the loving interactions between the main leads was just so good. I only seen a few Chinese BLs and I am not one for historical dramas but they are really good and with some action! I like this one so far.

I’m starting to realize that “censorship” usually means tamed physical intimacy. I prefer the confessions/flitation, the little moments, over those intense intimacy scenes since most series would prioritize sensuality over plot. Even some “Bromances” to me are more romantic and entertaining. Can’t tell you how many BL dramas I dropped with pretty good kissing scenes but there’s also subpar acting, one dimensional characters, and a plot that takes the backseat to the intimate scenes.

Yeah some BLs are like that in the US. Just checked GagaOOLala and a Singapore BL I had never heard of before released today! I wonder why some of them are like that. Could be due to international rights or something.

Your perspective on sex is sadly twisted.Is there some reason a couple can't grow emotionally, develop their characters,…
You’re accusing me of making this an “either/or” but that isn’t what I said. What I said is that I personally value romance shown through emotional growth more than through physicality. That doesn’t mean sex and emotional intimacy can’t coexist, of course, they can. It simply means that in romance dramas, I prefer quiet gestures and communication over extended NC scenes. That’s a matter of taste, not an absolute rule.

On the word fetish, no, sex in itself isn’t automatically a fetish. The reason I used that term is because of how BL often gets consumed and honestly all the other comments about the intimacy scene. There’s a difference between acknowledging sex as natural and demanding it to the point where the relationship becomes a spectacle rather than a story. That kind of fixation is what I was referring to.

And no, I haven’t “made a fetish of sexless romance”. What I value is balance. Intimacy doesn’t only exist in bedrooms; it exists in the way characters communicate, support each other, and navigate vulnerability. That is just as real and meaningful as physical passion.

On Japanese modesty, yes, onsens exist. But that’s a communal, normalized space, not a private romantic one. Storytelling deliberately uses embarrassment, modesty, and awkwardness as tropes to highlight vulnerability and connection. Dismissing that as “nonsense” isn’t a cultural insight it’s overlooking how Japanese culture has portrayed intimacy for decades.

So let’s be clear! I haven’t twisted your words. I’ve explained how I read them in the context of BL dramas, and why I value a different approach. You don’t have to agree with me but disagreement doesn’t make me wrong, it just means we’re looking for different things in the same genre.

And that’s where this ends. I’ve laid out my stance clearly. If your next move is to keep nitpicking my wording, trying to correct my personal preference, or continuing to attack me personally then you’re not debating in good faith. You’re just proving my point about fixation. At that stage, you’re not defending BL or your personal preference, you’re just arguing for the sake of arguing. Which is exactly why I’m stepping back from this and letting your replies speak for themselves.

Have a good day superstar!

I didn’t mean to twist your words, but when you wrote “men are horny af 24/7, put two gay men together and you double that reality” it read as a broad generalization about gay relationships especially since the context of the discussion is BL dramas. That’s why I responded the way I did.

My point isn’t to set up an either/or, but to explain what I personally value in romance dramas such as the emotional beats, the modest gestures, and the cultural nuances. I don’t need explicit or highly physical intimacy to see a relationship as valid or compelling, and I know a lot of viewers feel the same way.

As for Japanese modesty, I think you and I just see that scene differently. Onsens exist, yes, but public bathing culture doesn’t erase the fact that modesty and embarrassment are common romantic tropes in Japanese storytelling that are used intentionally for humor or emotional tension. That’s why I read it as fitting the cultural and narrative style rather than being “nonsense.”

I’m not dismissing your preferences. I just don’t share them. I’d rather have the romance highlight through emotional growth than fetish physicality.
