Another series with KimCop!! :3

That's how BL was intended originally. But it has evolved over the years. Today, it's watched by everyone. There are so many non-straight men and women watching BL and so many who are involved in their production. And there's no reason to justify the problematic aspects and not to discuss about them. (I'm not talking about the step-siblings relationship in particular, since it's used across the romance genre and it's not specifically related to bl and I personally see it as pretty harmless most of the times).

Me neither. I completely agree with you. I was just discussing definitions.

It doesn’t bother me at all honestly. I actually like the trope. The problem is that the relationship the younger brother has with Xingsi is pretty toxic and it has nothing to do with them being step-siblings. He’s so obsessed with his brother that he not only stalks him all the time but he went as far as hurting one of Xingsi’s best friends. He has some serious issues and I doubt this show will handle it in the right way.

That’s what I thought too, but actually, it’s between family members, blood related or not. I just found out after doing a little research. It’s still defined as incest, but it’s NOT considered a crime if it’s between non-blood related people. (At least in my country).

Yup, you’re right! I really thought it was only between blood related people.
I always considered it as a pretty harmless trope, but I guess it could be considered illegal by law. (I mean between step siblings)

(I might be wrong about the incest)

I totally agree with you! (But the incest part, since it’s not, by definition. They really managed to make it as weird as possible though!) The fangirl is so problematic and the “straight” guys going along with it too!!

That Meifang is so messed up and Licheng just as much... and don’t get me started on Yongjie..
I really like Xingsi though. I wish he were the lead and that he had a much better storyline ._.

Yeah sorry, only if you have a vip membership

On Youku they’re subbed until episode 30!

Six episodes to go >~<

This series really does have its own charm! I enjoy every episode, maybe because I like slow burn romance a lot. But what happened to the father was so sudden. I’m glad that at least Sam turned out to be nice. I felt so bad for Chol.

The trailer looks really good! I wanted to see Tong as a lead in a BL so bad!!

I recommend Red Balloon, Your Name Engraved Herein and Crystal Boys. These are really great :)

Sounds interesting!

Ok thank you!

yeah horror is not my thing, but I might give it a try :)

Also, in 2 Moons and Hotel Stars, but I had totally forgotten! I kept thinking that he looked familiar. After Dark is the only one I haven’t watched.

Can they stop pressuring Chol into choosing Medical school?! it's his future! who cares about your school's reputation or whatever...
I like how he's not easily influeced and he's sure about what he likes and wants to do.
