I’m with you 🙌🏼 I want a polymory but it’s still too advanced for nowadays and even more so for China.
Because a big part of the appeal in many BL stories is the fantasy that a male character who previously identified as straight, or never showed interest in anyone before, falls in love only with that *one* specific guy. That exclusivity is central to the emotional draw for a lot of fans. I think adding a thruple or any kind of poly relationship structure won’t resonate with the core audience as it shifts the focus away from that one-to-one, “he’s the only one for me” dynamic that many audience are looking for.
I read somewhere that Fan Xiao likes Lu Zhen, not Shu Lang, even though You Shu Lang is the ending. Is that true?…
I’m not sure about “like”, but it’s clear in the first two episodes that Fan Xiao is strongly attracted to Shulang. Shulang unravels him, and he’s the motivation behind whatever he’s plotting.
Personally, I think it's overrated. There's nothing particularly groundbreaking here, nor does it offer much depth. It's just the typical school-life BL setup with the classic secret crush storyline. The charm lies in the sheer cuteness of the main characters and their interactions, which is likely what drives its high rating.
Arguably one of the best, if not the best, talent search reality programs ever produced on Philippine TV, that set a high standard in discovering and showcasing exceptional local talent.
is this peak 'second bl' after make it right(s1 and s2)? make it right was the first bl i watched lolll
Based on his actor profile here on MDL, he also appeared in another gay-romance–themed series called "You Never Eat Alone". Tho I’m not entirely sure whether it actually qualifies as a BL. I haven’t watched it yet.
i think it started with HIM stepping on her pride and mistreating her...
"He should be glad he was helping her fight corruption"
Yeah, sure. As if he could possibly have known that was what she was doing.
"He should be thankful that she keeps him on his toes"
Showing up to an interview without doing even the slightest research about the interviewee isn’t just unprofessional, it’s dismissive. It makes it obvious she looks down on him. She clearly holds herself in high esteem as a political reporter, yet she seems to have little respect for him or his profession, as though acting is somehow beneath her. If anything, she’s the one who might need to be kept on her toes, as you put it.
"She was super rude...but he didn't have to be rude back...he could have gently kicked her out..."
In short, you acknowledge that she was rude and in the wrong, yet you still managed to place the blame on him.
