Could anyone please tell me if the version on Iqiyi is the cut or uncut? I don't have a subscription, but found the first ep (47 mins) there for free and I didn't see there a word about being cut or uncut version. Did they only let the first ep for free? I'm really confused, so I'll be really grateful for some help ^^
Okay.. I liked it, don't get me wrong. It was well made and looked really pleasing, all the characters were likeable…
I feel you. I could relate to the pets part, but I had a bit of a hard time with the love part, at least of the main as it was his dog! (the other guy doesn't even seem to know that Milk was really a cat and he wasn't his cat). So I found it a bit disturbing tbh.
Kind of feels like how they said the Korean Little Women drama was an adaptation of the original when it was not…
Really? I haven't seen Little Women, but by the name I thought it was an adaptation. By the synopsis, the only thing American Psycho and this series has in common is murder. What an app has to do with the story? what a female lead has to do with it? They could basically say it's an adaptaion of any story which has a murder in it by this logic. But maybe I'm missing something here, I don't know.
Can someone explain to me how is it an adaptation of American Psycho? As someone who both read the book and saw the film, this synopsis doesn't make it sound like American Psycho.
Does anyone know why MDL really doesn't have Vietnamese content? It's really a shame.
Really? sounds like a bad excuse. I can understand with Indian content (and why would they add Trukey to this site anyway? ) , but it makes sense they'll have content from Vietnam. I mean - why The Philippines is part of this list, but not Vietnam? So, well, I guess we shouldn't expect it to happen...

Found the answer why there is no Vietnamese content here:
"Why do you only have Korean/Japanese/Chinese/Hong Kong/Taiwanese/Thai/Filipino dramas and movies? Please add Indian/Turkish/Vietnamese/etc dramas and movies! I love them!
Despite only having 7 countries, we currently feel that there are still enough actors/movies/dramas missing from our databases, especially from less popular territories like Hong Kong or Thailand. Once we feel like we have a large number of the Dramas/Movies/Actors from these 7 countries, we will then consider adding another country. The goal is to have a complete database from the countries we do have, instead of a incomplete database for 20+ countries. "
Not sure about Hong Kong, but they don't have enough content from Thailand?? well, it sure doesn't feel like that (at least to me). Not sure how many actors/movies/dramas they want to have from these 7 countries before they will think of adding any other, and even then who says they will pick Vietnam and not another country? :(
Hahaha I've watched several Jdramas wherein some of the characters sneak inside the school at night that I just…
Maybe they really don't lock their doors, especially in Japan - like isn't crime rate there very low? but in other places, yeah maybe they just like to be robbed or something 😂
Am I the only one who wonders how they could get into school at night? Don't they need a key for that? isn't it supposed to be locked at night? Did I miss something? Anyway, loved the show! hope we'll get another seaon as this was so short!
I think the entire fantasy in BLs right now doesn’t give proper representation to the lgbtq+ community which…
Yeah, at the end anyone can watch what they want. Like there are people who like the chinese censored shows. The only thing I expect is not to be told something is a romance while it's just a bromance. Not that I call this one a bromance.
I think the entire fantasy in BLs right now doesn’t give proper representation to the lgbtq+ community which…
Well, I didn't mean they should be exactly like straight couples, becuase there are differences, but I don't think there should be so much difference when it comes to simple things like a kiss. I don't find anything bad in showing puppy love or more innocent story, yet if I'd watch such a story with a girl and a boy I'd find it weird they haven't even kissed once or either I'd feel as if I watched a show that is meant for kids. I haven't heard anything about this discourse, interesting. It just feels to me that when you cut out any physical contact in such shows, then it might be closer to a bromance rather than a romance. Makes you wonder if it's not kind of queer baiting - making you watch the show for the romance, but at the end they act like just two very good friends? if that's what you were looking for then great, but if not then you might feel a bit deceived. Not that I really have such a problem with Kieta Hatsukoi. I thought this show was very cute. Like also "Cherry Magic". But I guess it could have been nice if those shows eneded with a kiss. Well, still maybe no kiss is better than ending it with a high-five...

Yeah, I feel like women can either be the fangirls or they are this friend that is gonna be the surrogate mother (for example in Tonhon Chonlatee which was sooo bad). I think Tharntype was "good" mainly because the two leads really had such a good chemistry, maybe with different actors it wouldn't have been working as well as it did with them. Sure it could have been better, but the whole permise of this show was quite stupid to begin with. And well, I'm not the one to complain about hot makeout sessions. I'm more annoyed with shows that gives you nothing (like Kieta Hatsukoi which I actually do like). Mostly because I expect to see gay coupls as straight coupls, and a whole show about a straight couple without even a kiss would be strange in my opinion so it's the same here. We can all wish for better content, but at the end even if you consume problematic content if you're aware of the problemtic aspects of it and you know how to seperate fantasy from reality than you don't really harm anyone. I mean, people have all kind of fucked up fantasies, but as long as they don't fulfill them irl then who do they hurt by having them?

Well, I agree with you. Not as if I've never come to like problematic content (Tharntype for example), but at least it's important to acknowledge that the content is problematic and to wish for improvment. I think the BL fandom has sadly many problems, mainly people shipping the actual actors together. At the end we should all remember this is fantasy. I don't think there is something wrong in liking BLs and gay content, but at the end in reality you just need to respect other people and act like a decent human being, something that to my annoyance a lot of female characters in BL dramas don't. Makes me wonder if people really act like that (I mean stalk gay couples, open fan pages for real couples, taking secretly photos of them and post it, like seriously who the hell does that?)
Do you know by any chance if only the first ep is for free or if the whole series (uncut version) will be for free on Iqiyi?

They could basically say it's an adaptaion of any story which has a murder in it by this logic. But maybe I'm missing something here, I don't know.
