I mean you won't see kissing or any other type of intimate stuff, but it's still good! haha

If you have any inkling toward Chinese history, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS SERIES. The tact of Cao Cao. The mastery of Zhuge Liang and Si Ma Yi. It's all here. 95 episodes WELL WORTH THE WATCH.

It’s not out of the ordinary in terms of themes or premise from other BLs, but I think what’s standing out to me is just how well-crafted and well-presented it is. The actors are genuine (not just the leads), the chemistry is good, filming is great, and the story is progressing at an even pace.

This BL hasn’t made me cry (yet), but just from a technical view, this is one of the best ones I’ve seen. I really don’t want it to end.

I think the actors collectively are doing a bit of a better job in this series than Right or Wrong, but I’m with you. Right or Wrong’s storyline is just great.

Same here! haha I'm a BL addict. Tell me your faves and I'll tell you whether or not I've seen them. I'm on holiday right now, so I'm particularly keen to see some new ones! ^_^

A lot of people are sad that there will be no part 3 to this, but honestly, I'm not THAT sad about it. Firstly, it's not that bad of a cliffhanger. We know why the guy was following An ZiYan at the end: because he wants money. An ZiYan and Mai Ding have been through so much, they wouldn't let something like this break them up. We don't know what the guy who wants to shake Mai Ding's hand is about, but it kinda doesn't matter in relation to everything we saw up until that point. A crappy cliffhanger would have been if the movie ended during the middle of the conflict with parents and we never got to see them happily ever.

Also, as someone who lives in China and sees how strong government censorship and propaganda is on a daily basis (FYI I need to use a VPN to even access mydramalist since it's technically "blocked" in China), I don't understand how they were even able to film and release not one, but TWO seasons of a show about openly and quite shamelessly gay men, show them kissing (a lot), having sex (a WHOLE lot), confronting homophobia in the face both in society and within the family (even bringing GRANDPARENTS into play), expressing their undying love for each other and truly saying "F*** you!" to the status quo. Both seasons were even filmed in the capital, Beijing, where government control is even more dominant than in other places in the country.

We may not get a season 3, but Like Love seasons 1 and 2 were damn good and I'm not only grateful, but proud that were able to be produced in mainland China.

And after reading some other comments and checking other websites, Lu Zhou (an actor who plays in Love Is More Than a Word and Till Death Tear Us Apart) was supposed to play the part of Ying Tai, so with a male actor playing a female who is pretending to be a male, it was supposed to be like a "indirect" BL...kinda makes me sad it didn't work out, really.

@MysticLullaby The original story isn't BL, but having a male actor play female character who is pretending to male is an indirect way of making the story BL...which is why Lu Zhou was chosen at the beginning. They changed actors because Lu Zhou got really sick at the beginning of production...such a pity.

@MatthewS - OMG if I'm 14 episodes into the show now. If I had known that Lu Zhou was supposed to play Ying Tai, but then they changed, I wouldn't have watched...especially with the actress they have. She sucks. I'm going to keep watching because I've come this far along and because I love Yan ZiDong and Lin FengSong, but uuggghhhhh hahaha I think Jiang Zi Le (from Love Is More Than A Word) is supposed to make a cameo too.

Yes. It's one of the most popular Chinese of all time. It came out early last year. The production quality is high, the acting is great and the story is beautiful. Don't worry, it has happy ending. ;) Technically speaking, there's no BL, but there's a "couple" who fans speculate are actually gay, but it's extremely subtle. You wouldn't know unless someone pointed specific things out to you during the show about them.

Oooohhhh hahahaha ok

This should be marked as a spoiler. x) lol

Firstly, I'm not sure what a direct translation of the Thai title of this movie is, but I don't think it should be "Love Next Door" as the movie doesn't delve too much into the "love" part. Other than that, the story is just ok. The circumstances under which everything happens are a little shaky (as in you may find yourself asking, "Who would do something like this?" when you see Khao's actions). The acting was fine from the two leads, but there wasn't too much room in the movie for their characters to develop more (maybe in the sequel?).

There's also a LOT OF SEXUALITY in this movie (not that you wouldn't get that from the first sentence of the plot summary), but not just actual sex scenes, but even the camera angles in regular scenes (crotch/ass everywhere).

Want a relatively quick movie with cute guys, funny scenes that doesn't require a lot of thought? This one's for you.

I don't understand how they could have worked BL into this unless it was a side-story. This is a very old Chinese legend that's been redone several times. This is just a new adaptation, so there's no BL in the story to begin with.

Also, the drama's just okay for me. Lin FengSong and YanZiDong are the only reason I'm watching. I think the lead actress' acting is bad in general...and she's supposed to be disguised as a guy, but nothing about her character shows that. She doesn't just act womanly, she acts like a very, very childish -girl-. She should have taken pointers from Yang Mi in 10 Miles of Peach Blossoms.

The ending of Grey Rainbow was insulting to how good the rest of the movie was. I'd totally have forgiven it had they shown the boy to have heart/health issues at some point in the middle of the movie, but the random heart attack was just so sucky.

I saw Just Friends? and I liked that one too as well as the Takumi-kun series. I need to watch more Japanese BL though. I'm always weary of them because they come off as a little slow and low budget to me some times.

Korean BLs also usually have sad endings. lol But they're good though. Night Flight and A Frozen Flower in particular.

Short, sweet and to the point. Lovely film.

Old? They're all in their 20s. lol

Pretty Sure Zhu Jian aka Zhi Ming from Men With Sword and Assassin 2 is in this movie too. I saw some videos on Instagram of him on the set of it.

Yeah. He shows up in later episodes too, so I even got a better look. It's him.
