The chemistry is really, really great. For me that's enough reason to give this series 10/10. The story is weak…
I admit I pretty much only read a sex scene of Yandaixiejie Street. Not because I was looking for it, I found the novel (a translation) online and somehow clicked on a chapter with a sex scene. Terrible. I'm biased too, because ... long story. I'm into BL since many years. I started reading BL fanfictions and I always hated how terrible written they were. So I thought: I can do better! Well, I tried. Didn't get much readers, because I was trying to write a decent (realistic) story without cliches. That's why I pretty much hate those typical fanfictions. I read Addiction/Heroin too (this time not a sex scene, I read some chapter that come after the events in the series) and I immediately thought "Bad written fanfiction". It amazes me how authors can be proud of such works. It's the same quality like 50 shades of grey, which was also a fanfiction, a Twilight fanfiction to be precise. Well, my story has a happy end. Today I'm an author and can make a living from my writing (I'm not a native English speaker). But well, such novels make me angry. About Yandaixiejie Street: I admit I don't remember everything. I even wrote a review on this site. What I didn't like was the thing with the sex doll. That was just stupid. At the beginning I thought it was something new, an interesting conflict, but no, at the end it was just stupid. The whole top and bottom thing ... If I remember correctly the one guy didn't want to be the bottom because he didn't trust the other one, or whatever. That's one of those chliches that annoy me. Making such a BIG deal of who is who (top or bottom) is something I don't like. If your relationship is going to end because you need to put your (how was it called in the novel ? LOL) in a hole, well ... uhm. He shouldn't have started that relationship to begin with. The conflict (he is into woman, not men) could have been resolved much better. The doll thing didn't seem to fit the charater either, a novelist who writes like an old man but behaves like a child, is suddenly buying a sex doll. Yeah. That was just strange. I have some experience with anal sex too, it's soooo complicated and 100% not like they potray it in such novels and series. If they want to write something realistic then talk about the difficulty and danger of this practice and not about who gives it and who has to take it. But everything before that: I really liked it. I wasn't bothered by the sad end either. I thought this would become my all time favorite until the doll came up.
I hate "What the Duck" - and I really wanted to love it :( It's a hit or miss for me. Some series make me incredible…
I dropped it because of MewArt ;) I found their first sex scene not a bit believable. I felt like watching bad acted porn. I really wonder why people think this was done well. But no hate here. Everyone has a different opinion. For me it was the worst sex scene ever witnessed on screen. And after that - and the fact that the other love story was moving forward so slow - I dropped it :(
So the story had a lot of inconsistencies with bad romance. it wasn't a unique story as it has been made before…
I think it depends on what is important for people. Look at the rating system on this site. You have to decide the "rewatch value" and this goes to the ratings too. That's hilarious! I have seen many great movies, but I didn't feel like watching them again. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy them. At the end of the day the question is "Did you enjoy it?" TWD made many people happy, me too. But believe me: I know exactly where you come from and why it's bothering you. If you think it deserves 7.5 then it's not that much of a difference. I think 2Moons deservers only a 6 (well, maybe a 5) and it is rated much higher ;) I also hate "What the duck" passionately, it has a pretty good rating though.
I don't know why I get so excited by this type of series. I was never into BL before "What the duck", and now…
I hate "What the Duck" - and I really wanted to love it :( It's a hit or miss for me. Some series make me incredible happy, some others are so stupid, I feel like losing brain cells watching them. I'm into BL for over 16 years now, LOL. It was a long journey and it doesn't seem to end soon ;)
i kinda hate the fact that it has a 8.9 and actual good stuff like yandaixiejie got a 7.9 i like this series so…
The chemistry is really, really great. For me that's enough reason to give this series 10/10. The story is weak though, you're right. Considering that the series is based on a novel that is pure PWP (porn without plot) it seems they had a hard time to come up with a "story". Talking about Yandaixieje Street no. 10: the novel was terrible too. I'm not over the sex scenes yet, baaaaad written. The series on the other hand was very beautiful done. Until I saw the last episodes I thought it's the best thing ever. But well, the last episodes ... terrible development that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth. And I'm not talking about the sad end. There were many other things wrong with it.
Obsessed was VERY overrated. The story was a mess and not enjoyable, but people liked it because of the hot scenes.…
From the first series (History1) I liked "Stay away from me". That was well acted, well scripted, nothing special though, but very enjoyable. "My hero" on the other hand was a mess too. A girl in a boy's body? Didn't really understand why that was supposed to be a BL. I hesitate watching "Right or Wrong" - the age gap is too much for me. But the new History2 series "Boundary Crossing" is looking good.
Watched the first episode ... not bad, it reminds me of "The Legendary Lackey" a bit due to Kang Chan (Lee Ji-Hoon)…
Lol, I feel the same, and I LOVE "The Legendary Lackey". I watched it 3 times already, it's the funniest thing ever. I don't even care if this new series it's BL or not. I like the chemistry and the volleyball. That's enough for me.
This is really good, I'm surprised. When I found it on Youtube I wasn't even sure if it's BL or not. I watched it anyways, that says a lot about how enjoyable it is. I love volleyball, that's a plus too. It's surprisingly well acted, the cast ist charming and it's not as cheesy as some other BL stories even though there are many cliches. I'm excited for a new BL story, yeah!
This was so good. Way better than the first season for me. I personally felt that they were overrated, but this…
Obsessed was VERY overrated. The story was a mess and not enjoyable, but people liked it because of the hot scenes. Two hot boys making out and everyone is happy and passionate about it.
Yea, exactly.I thought Korn was gay... did not expect him to be bi. Regardless, I can't believe he'd do that to…
Korn is bi? Did I miss something? Where did you get this information? That would make no sense. In "Bad Romance" they both were like I'm-only-gay-for-you with Knock being the one who seemed to fall more into the gay stereotype. In TWM Korn was potrayed as 100% gay.
I still cannot believe it. That's the last thing on earth I expected. I hope it will have a good story. We don't have to worry about the acting, the production and sure not about the chemistry. Only the story ... hopefully it will not be silly. I mean, what can it be about? They are so close, they love each other so much ... Will there be a rival, I mean another love interest? That would be strange. Korn made it clear in both series that Knock is the only one for him. Maybe Knock is insecure again? I wonder. Or problems with acceptance of their family or just being gay? That was adressed in both series too. I'm clueless here. But I'm the happiest I can be. Love those two together on screen too much for my own good. Just imagine them kissing again like they did in ep 15 of TWM will melt my heart.
DID YOU GUYS SEE??? THEY ANNOUNCED TOGETHER WITH ME THE NEXT CHAPTER!!!
I died and woke up in heaven. Came here to check if I got it wrong or not. I'm speechless. THE BEST CHEMISTRY EVER IS RETURNING TO THE SCREEN! I hope they don't mess this up *fingers crossed*
Dailymotion...google sotus s the series eng sub and it’ll come up in vids.
Facebook? You mean the site "Sotus S the Series International"? I found it today, was very happy but it doesn't work either. The video stops after 5 minutes. I'm getting desperate here ... Never ever did I have so much trouble finding my BL series ...
Oh my, I hate this, guys. Unlikable characters, no chemistry, bad acting :( I thought Obsessed was bad too, but at least Terry and Bernard had some charisma. Sigh ... I'm looking forward to Sotus ...
For what I know the novel is kinda bad, a total PWP The serie is totally different, someone translated a few chapters…
It's not a matter of "different plot", it's just bad written. If you like good literature you will faint reading this. May & Tul said in a fan meeting how difficult it was for the writers to put together the story. There are mostly sex scenes in every detail. Tul even admitted how, when they read it, he asked Max if he had finally found the plot. Because apparently there is none.
So if you are knew to that kind of entertainment, you may like it and be excited about it. But if you know it (like I do) then it's just boring. Sex scenes between two males written by a woman are not my favorite anyway, it's just too cheesy and too much focus on penetration which isn't realistic.
The novels are only available in thai language and I doubt that a passionate soul will translate that kind of material.
