because only hetero women watch BL 🙄🙄🙄 get an update please
Why the hate? And Theory of Love is pretty much the opposite of what I like. Not everyone is into everything. I was complimenting this series, because I think, objectively speaking it's pretty well done, and people come at me. The same old story here on MDL ...
because only hetero women watch BL 🙄🙄🙄 get an update please
Where did I say that only hetero women watch BL? But like in Japan for example, different kind of yaoi/BL manga are written for men and women. So please. Go watch some fanmeetings and listen to the female screams. If not for the big audience of hetero women, this industry wouldn't be so successful. As if k-Pop would be a thing if not for the many girls who like to fantasize and ship the boys. There are certain series who appeal more to gay men, and there are others that appeal more to hetero women.
Not gonna lie, I only watched it out of curiosity, because I have zero interest in such shows with lots of sensuality, corny dialogues and too many dramaqueens. But seeing it now, I mean, it wasn't bad. This is the kind of stuff young gay men like, and, I'm sure of it, older gay people who are into young boys, and there are plenty of those, will enjoy it too. This is not targeted to hetero women who enjoy your standard BL series. The production quality is high, they managed to portray a good amount of sensuality. Some of the sex scene were pretty creative and artistic, much better than what we got in Only Friends. The acting wasn't that bad either. It's pretty clear what kind of series this is supposed to be, and they are doing a good job so far. I was expecting much less after seeing the trailer. Dropped, anyways. I'm just not into this, but yeah ... not bad overall.
All of them are in their 20s and 30s though? Except Vivit who is 19.
Well, when you're almost 40 like me, that's not old. When you're 20, you are fine with it of course. I never wanted to start a war, I was just mildly shocked that those boys looks so young. It maybe the make-up too. it's like they tried to give some of them a very childlike appearance.
Semantic Error and Bad Buddy? Those series had no explicit scenes. I would prefer guys like MaxTul who despite their young age never looked that young. MewGulf were okay too. Most of those guys in this series have a very childlike appearance which makes me umcomfortable. Silly me!
Lol, you can't make this up! I'm almost 40, and feel umcomfortable watching guys doing sexual stuff when some of them look like they aren't older than 16 - and now I'm a bad person who descriminates others? Nah, where are we heading as a society?
They are not messing around with these kissing scenes, oh my god.
That's Taiwan BL for you. And then you watch Thai BL and start to analyze everything. How comfortable are the actors? How good are the kisses? Are they even kissing properly? What are they thinking and feeling? Are they shy? Are they up to the challenge? Seriously, I'm always staring at their lips, taking in every second, and waiting for it to be good or bad. Back to Taiwan BL: No need to think about anything, just enjoy the moment. Whatever good or bad, it feels real.
What makes you say it's not good acting? I'm not trying to be a jerk. Different perspectives are always interesting…
They don't have "it". Good actors are Ohm (I don't even like him), Nanon, First, Khaotung (though he is lately playing too often the alluring type), Neo, Gun, Off, Tay (when he has a challenging script), Forth (though he should experiment more with different roles), Krist, heck, I would also say Mark, or Perth and Chimon (though it was disappointing how bad he was acting out love scenes). Jimmy and Sea are more in the league of Phuwin, Pond, Earth, Bright and Win. And then there are actors like Gawin and Mix, who under certain circumstances are doing great, but not always. Just my opinion. Nobody has to agree. No hate, but this script would need some good performance that touches you deeply. I don't believe those two can make me cry. Jimmy did better than I expected, though. He was mediocre in Bad Buddy, and Vice Versa was unwatchable for me. I have some hope this time.
I personally think it's astonishing that people consider such a scene to be SA. Imagine those two had some hardcore BDSM sex with one beating up the other, but as long both are sober and have their safe word, no one would have an issue with it. Now we have a very tender love scene where two people comfort each other with their body warmth and tender kisses, and people call it SA. I'm not judging, I don't really care, but I wanted to point that out, because I find it interesting how sex is perceived. The idea that it can be something beautiful that makes you feel good and loved, even when your mind is a bit cloudy seems to be impossible. Not to mention, that in that particular scene, Ai Di kissed Chen Yi first, yes, then he took off his shirt, he comforted him with his warm body, later on, when tears felt down, it was Chen Yi who took the next step. I didn't feel that somebody was forced or coerced to do anything. I also know that there is sexual (and physical) assault happening between men and women, with the woman being the perpetrator, but let's just consider for a moment how Chen Yi throws Ai Di around like he is some stuffed animal who weights nothing. It's hard to think of him as a victim with that body and mind. He isn't weak, neither physically nor psychologically. So I really think people are taking this too far. But again, this is not that serious. Everyone can look at it the way they want. I don't want to defend the series, I don't even like the story. I just like the couple and the actors, and how they portray their characters.
I'm only here for the 2nd couple, and I'm not even a fan of their story. I only love the acting and the chemistry.
Honestly, those two are my guilty pleasure. I love Ai Di being sassy and tsundere, I love him being badass and small at the same time. I love how he provokes Chen Yi, how they fight, but always care for each other. I love how they are so hardcore and aggressive, but then so soft and caring. Chen Yi being so serious and such a big guy, is just a nice contrast to the little crazy gangster. You would expect him taking the lead, but it's Ai Di instead. It's just a fun and exciting combination. And those love scene are 1000% to my taste. That's the kind of stuff I like: passionate, soft, both are dominant, great visuals, beautiful looking kisses and bodies. It feels like they are really in love.
Her stories are a mess. Trapped was also all over the place.
And the plot was not plotting....xDD
LOL
I love the 2nd couple. But I don't even know what happened in the series since I skipped every scene where they weren't present.

Here are some BTS. The actors talk about the scene:
