I really hate any story that starts off with the mains either already in a relationship or having prior intimacy, it ruins the build up. Start your stories at the beginning without skipping the most interesting parts like the first encounter geez! I mean the intimacy is good but come on, I wanna see the beginning but not through flashbacks. In media res is my pet peeve, do not like that way of storytelling.
May I ask a question purely out of curiosity? My understanding of "BL" is that it is a genre that depicts homoerotic…
I dunno but with me it's because I'm a gay guy so I like watching gay stories and unfortunately BL is all that's really available since genuine gay stories are rare, especially in western media because despite how "gay" friendly the west is, they still like to pretend we don't exist. East Asia has better gay representation in media even if its just fantasy BL with cliche tropes and a "female" bottom stand-in played by a male most of the time and the BS straight-to-gay nonsense that doesn't really exist in my experience as I was born this way, no one flipped a switch on my sexuality. Easy answer, straight girls probably prefer to see two guys (since they are into guys I imagine) than a guy and girl. I don't care for romance with women either cuz I'm not into women lol.
I was thinking its Ghost Stash, as I've come to call him lol. Ai is being set up with Mark, or at least it looks that way. If they make Ai an attempted murderer, then it makes him a villain and most would likely not care about his relationship after that imo.
Jiang Chi: there are no misunderstandings. I meant what i said.Finally someone who is honest and foward.The chemistry…
Yeah I'm really enjoying their chemistry too and the sincerity of Jiang Chi. Ep6 was quite the hanger I agree, ugh I usually like angst but in this case I'm like NOOOOO be happy! lol
My husband commented to me one day he does not understand why Thai dramas make it 100% LGBTQ couples as if they…
BL isn't realistic to begin with and that argument can be applied to anything. Its not realism I care about, its entertainment value. Personal preferences. But whatever, I hate the main couple with a burning passion anyways, my boyfriend is making me watch this with him lol.
*Okay hate with a burning passion is a total exaggeration lol, I just don't care for them.
I don't understand straight ships in BL, they have enough rep as it is, stop taking away from our BL with straight filler. I was hoping for a side GAY couple, since I don't care for the main guys, oh well more wasted time on straight romance which is literally in everything else already. If I wanted straight romance I wouldn't watch BOYS love. Sorry, ugh, I just don't get it.
I can deal with the fake age gap between the main actors but not the very real and obvious age gap between Asuka and Mr. Predator that seems to like high school boys, creep. The younger the young guy is, the less of an age gap I'll tolerate. 30 and 40 is okay, 10 and 20 is NOT. To each their own, this isn't for me. I tried to give it a chance, main guys are fine, but I can't continue this. Ephebophila is not my bag. I don't knock the actors or viewers of this show, I just have personal preferences and this show doesn't fit that for me.
I'm not interested to watch any BL. If i was, I'd stick to Thai dramas.
What I'm saying is you, who hates BL is willing to watch a story based on BL that's be bastardized in its adaptation. I don't care about the majority, the majority don't need representation because they get it by default. I'm gay so I don't watch lesbian romance and I can only guess the reason its not that prevalent is because romance in general is primarily watched by straight girls and gay men, both of which prefer men typically. And lets be honest, its easier to write a likable male character. Its whatever, SK BL sucks usually anyways since the that country is still 40 years behind the civilized world in terms of gay rights.
It can never be as stale as a high school or college setting.
I personally disagree, office jobs are more boring than watching paint dry. At least in school settings you get the benefit of peers (age ranges aren't extremely varied), youth and being in a more social environment with less restrictions.
