Does anyone actually know what’s going on with China and the whole ‘feminine men ban’? What’s going to…
I live in China. We don't know wtf is going on either and it's stressing me out. Tbh I'm afraid that girl on TikTok might be right. :( But this is just a costume drama. They should be able to get around it somehow. I hope they don't do my baby (Luo Yunxi) like this.
This was a moderately well done series [by my low standards for BL's] but it's very strange and has to win the…
Nitiman, I'm skipping. No interest and I haven't heard a single thing good about it, but I'm currently watching Top Secret Together and Hometown's Embrace is on my list too. What's the deal with them? Do they go horribly downhill toward the end? If so, which episode? So I know when to either stop watching or start fast-forwarding a lot.
I agree with you. Love the acting and story very much!One good thing is, it seems that there may be more to come…
It would be awesome if we'd get a second portion with Phob's road to physical recovery along with his relationship with Nut recovering as well. I'd also like to see whatever problem between Note and Tar get solved as well. And, if I can be so greedy, I think it'd be nice to see Dr. Gun pop up with a love interest too as a minor couple too. Of course, when I say "love interest", I mean Boun.
Imagine your friends getting a pizza with lots of toppings on it, but one that you really don't like. You didn't arrive early, so you didn't get a chance to pick, so you have to live with it. The rest of the pizza is fine. Great even, so you're willing to just go through and pick the topping off of the slices you eat.
The show is the pizza. The flashbacks are the topping.
I loved the story and the somber, but hopeful tone. I loved the acting from everyone. I really, really want to see Man and Title (especially Man) in another BL ASAP. I was even more or less ok with the number of flashbacks up until re-watching the seventh episode and then watching the eighth. What could have been more incredibly tender moments with Phob and Nut, was just (see spoiler)
Nevertheless, I love this show and I'd recommend it...just with some fast-fowarding.
How do I put this? This made me feel a lot of emotions. Not all of them were good emotions, but it made me feel them very strongly, so I like that it was able to do that. The cinematography, the music (it's so sad that rock music isn't as popular as it used to be), and the acting were all on point.
Looking past the other things lacking that I would have like to have seen like what was going on with the side couple and the further development of Mafuyu and Uenoyama's relationship, the one thing that gets me is what felt like a lack of closure. We see Mafuyu all sad and distant at the beginning and get curious about it. Then, we find out it's because his ex committed suicide (and it has something to do with Mafuyu himself) and so we feel bad for him. Finally, when we think Mafuyu's finally being able to cope with that and move on to a different relationship, we suddenly get told that not only did Yuki's suicide have to do with Mafuyu, Mafuyu, in so many words, dared Yuki to kill himself. :((( The lyrics of the song explain all Mafuyu's hurt and experience, but that still doesn't feel....good. Then after the show, the old friend comes up with the "Oh, you know he was writing songs about you, right? Oh! And he really wanted to write them *with* you, but....." and I'm just like: U__U Well, damn.
I didn't not like this. I just don't like those vibes.
Admittedly, I didn't read the tags or the description of this. I just knew Jimmy was going to be in a Korean BL. I didn't need any more convincing than that. Needless to say, I was caught completely off-guard. lol
I'm three episodes in and I'm really loving this. I'm especially a fan of Ritsuka's facial expressions. However, coming to the comment section, I see apparently a lot of stuff has been left out based on the anime, which is always unfortunate. I had a similar disappointment with Love Stage!, but fortunately, I didn't see the anime version of this, so I'm enjoying it as it is.
Did anyone else kinda have Fiat pegged as a power bottom? It's been a while since TT2 and I don't remember a whole lot of it, but I was expecting more from him passion-wise this episode.
This is the best BL series running right now. I also like "Love Area" a lot but I give DSN the edge (for now.)I'm…
I haven't delved into Love Area and I was curious about it before. I trust your judgment based on previous comments on other BLs ^_^ so I'll probably check it out soon. I'm not sure where you stopped in The Yearbook, but for as sad as the whole premise is, I truly feel even if someone is killed off, the whole thing will have been executed in a way that makes the phrase, "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" ring true, but in sweeter way instead of a more depressing way.
Additional thoughts:In my first 6-episodes run, I skipped the commentaries and summary at the end of each episode…
Because of this comment, I posted some links and photos from the series to a BL Facebook group I’m in. Many people didn’t know about it and are now curious and starting it. lol So, please know that you have actually helped spread the word and got new viewers. 😊
