I think these guys are even better in moonlight chicken, although that's a more serious BL and therefore the acting tone is overall better.

Those "straight" men are bis/gays/ect in denial haha! I'm not offended that there is a lack of boyfriendy interactions, its just that I've come to expect that from romance and I don't think romance is a genre suited to kid-friendly portrayals because its a more adult/older teen themed genre. So I'm not saying that its homophobic or evil hahaha, just that it's kinda boring when cuddling, maybe a kiss, hugging, simple boyfriendy things are excluded. These guys have great chemistry but if they are interacting more like close friends, then that's how I see them instead of a couple. I'm NOT into shipping (forcing couples to stay together until the network run their popularity into the ground). I actually like seeing actors work with different people as much as possible, so I'm not a typical BL fan I suppose haha!

Because it's romance, intimacy is a part of the genre. They don't have to have sexual scenes cuz they are too young. But cuddling, kissing like non-asexual boyfriends do, I mean the actors have great chemistry and I like THEM, but a romance without tactile affection is just a glorified friendship to me and the writers just care about the clicks. They've had a 17 y/o actor kiss someone who's also 30 before (i didn't like that), they can have two 17/18yos kiss each other, its not porn and its not deviancy. Its an expression of gay love, good acting and bravery, I also love a change to shove it down the puritans throats because they've been running this world long enough.

Anti-intimacy people always are.

Then they shouldn't watch romance if they can't handle intimacy. That's like someone who watches horror complaining that someone dies in the show lol. But yeah I would think the one place you WOULDN'T find puritans is in gay romance/bl. BL is gay/bi, its not two straight guys getting together like some people think, straight guys don't date dudes.

Hear hear!

BurgerKing is boring, there I said it. Unpopular opinion but they are boring imo.

The actors are 9 years apart in real life, THAT is where the age gap is.

I liked this series but hated the finale. I didn't like the open-ending crap at the very end. I hate open-endings, or personal interpretations. I like conclusion, explanation and the satisfaction that comes from having the first two. I also found the deaths of Long and Joke to be over-the-top brutal. It just made me feel sorry for them and lessened the impact of Gus' death for me.. WHY show them to start wanting to stop the violence, to show hesitation and remorse only to kill them anyways? I guess that's what you get when you show compassion, they should have killed them right away but no conscience goes unpunished. No villain redemption arch, well then NO POINT in showing the bad guys to have second thoughts! That was a total lead-on. I won't go into my disappointment about the moon fall extensively. I understand the limits of lower-budget series and if the ending had been better for me then I wouldn't care at all, BUT the moon at that distance would be wreaking havoc with the Earth's tides, gravity and weather. Ending a series I enjoy in a bad way always pisses me off more than a bad series altogether, because it's irritation on top of disappointment. Also that baby scene seemed utterly pointless but maybe I missed the point as I was already annoyed at that time. Not saying its a bad series, I personally just hated the ending and NOT because everyone died, I expected that. I don't like the manner. BUT hey! If Art was dreaming the whole thing during his coma when he wakes up that the end then none of it mattered or happened anyways. This is why I hate open-endings. I, DON'T, WANT, TO, GUESS, MY, OWN, ENDING!

AGREE!!! I hate the whole "damsel in distress" trope, even for women, because its insulting. I like more equal couples.

Trapped and Crossing Borders were the best. Even the originals are better that History MODC, History 4 and so far History 5. They suck.

Trapped and Crossing Bordered were the best. Even the originals are better that History MODC, History 4 and so far History 5. They suck.

I think both Taiwanese AND Korean both suck. Japanese is SOMETIMES good, Thai is still king but still a lot of crap.

Boring so far, don't really like the pairings. HiStory used to be good.

Yeah I freaking HATE jock with nerd trope. Its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO overdone in BL, in manga, in fanfiction, EVERYWHERE! Oh and I don't mean they are always EXACTLY a jock or nerd, more or less I mean;
Jock - strong, athletic, possessive, taller, manly, ect
Nerd - weaker, artistic or smart, sassy, shorter, boyish, ect

Not ALL of these traits always apply to a said character but its usually pretty close. I get the whole "OPPOSITES ATTRACT" thing, I just get sick of it. Not everyone I've dated has been my opposite. Sometimes I find people attractive because we're actually more similar.

I won't expect that though even though I'd like that. GMMTV is extremely formulaic and tropey. It would make the shippers cry as there's a bunch of people already angry at Ben because "oh no he interfere with my SHIP!!!" LOL no hate to them but come on people lol.

I see that Pond is still monotone as ever, how about having a bit of a personality in your characters? Oh but he's hot, so I should just ignore that right? Nah, no I shouldn't.

Straight couples in BL are completely unnecessary and not at all what I'm looking for when watching BL which is literally BOYS love. Completely agree! If I want a straight couple, I'll watch Titanic or the other MILLION of straight romances that already exist.

He's in another age gap now, again 10 years ugh lol. I try to avoid age gaps of actors over 5 years. 2 years if they are under 20 which usually thankfully isn't the case (most are in their 20's).

I wish they'd actually do a poly 3-way gay relationship, I've only seen that once a while ago. I'm not into having a poly relationship myself but it would be interesting to see three guys end up in a relationship together. No harem, no bigamy but equal poly.
