I have a somehow unrelated question to the Liu Dong Qin fans - I really, really liked his acting and would like to watch him in something else, but I don't know where to start, he has a long acting career and many shows to choose from. Can you recommend something to me? I saw some clips from Psych-Hunter, is that one good? I'd prefer something without romance or if there's any, only a light one.
Right now, there are two BL series that I consider messy and bad for several reasons I don't want to go into - this one and Battle of the Writers.
I know why I'm still watching Battle of the Writers, but I have absolutely no idea about why I'm still watching this one, and yet I can't drop it for some reason. They must be doing something right, but for the life of me I can't tell you what it is.
This has to be the most openly romantic BL I've seen in a long time. The mains are just screaming romance since episode 1 and in a very obvious way, too. The plot is completely secondary, not that I mind.
What's more disgusting is people calling us homophobic because we love this show. Why would homophobic people…
I absolutely agree that I Feel You Linger in the Air is amazing, but currently, at least here, Jack & Joker has a higher rating.
The BL with the highest rating on MDL from what I can find is Love For Love's Sake, which has the same rating as Jack & Joker - 8.8. The difference is that the former is finished.

Love Mechanics is way better than KP! KP was entertaining, but it didn't leave a big impression on me. Of course, I realise this is an unpopular opinion. :)

So far, I agree, I think Love Mechanics was better than Jack & Joker, although of course we have to wait until Jack & Joker is finished.
It's so funny because I consider Love Mechanics my favourite BL show for 2022, together with Semantic Error, despite it having a cheating and very frustrating ML, a very toxic and unhealthy relationship betweeen the mains at the beginning, and a very questionable consent in episode 1. So much about me absolutely loving a show like The On1y One because supposedly I don't want to watch NC scenes. I loved LM despite the faults I pointed out, because it was extremely well-written, directed and acted and it made me feel things and has stayed with me, just like The On1y One will. If a show is written well, the characters are developed well, the acting is on point and the directing too and I feel it, I'm going to watch it and love it, no matter whether it has kissing, NC scenes, etc. or not.

I watch Jack and Joker. It's a good show, but the rating is way too high and there are several things that could be better. They are lucky they've got Yin and War as mains.
Comparing it to this show is not possible, they are way too different.
I find the IMDB rating very opaque. Unweighted, the series is rated 9.6 (sometimes 9.7) and has an overall rating…
This is what I was thinking... a 8.7 rating on IMDB is actually very good. The On1y One has a better rating than most popular BL series there, I checked. Even the very beloved Unknown has a lower rating. And the director is not stupid, he has to have anticipated the rating would drop after that ending. It's still very high, because the series deserve it.
After I read that Playboyy with its 6.1 rating and not that many watchers here is getting a second season, my hope for a season 2 which has never been very big has increased. ;)
I miss Wang and Tian so much. It's Wednesday and I feel the void. Time for a rewatch. Thankfully, tomorrow is a national holiday here, and I took Friday off work, too, so I've the time.
What's with the rating ??? Why it's so high is it worth to watch???
The rating is too high, the show has many plot points, i.e. a certain scene in episode 1 is ridiculous. But: there's a lot of action, good acting, chemistry, the plot moves fast and although the episodes are long, they don't drag, there's always something happening. So, I'd still rate it over 8 although not 8.8. Also, War is so amazing, bonus points for him.
What a hot mess of an ending!!! Lost my respect to SW, I just can't relate to self destruction. But then again…
I can understand SW. He's just realised he has fallen hard for someone who is considered to be his "older brother" by pretty much everyone around him. His own father told him to call JT "brother". Their parents announced in front of everyone they were "brothers". On top of that, they are both boys in a conservative school in 2012, that school has a general problem with students dating, even when they are straight, SW doesn't know (for sure) his feelings are reciprocated (I know, it's funny, but here you go), it's all very new and fresh for him and he's still a teenager. It's understandable that he would panic and would try to get his feelings in order first and to do that, he would need some physical distance from JT, at least in school.
I think JT got that at the end and this is why he decided to wait for SW without protesting, despite his pain. He's been aware of his feelings for a longer time and has had the time to, well, maybe not accept, but get used to them in any case, considering his experience. I think JT correctly guessed what is going on with SW (after all, he was not sleeping when SW tried to kiss him that night) and being the perfect person for SW he is, he understood that he should not pressure him right now and give him the time and space he needs. SW will come around, I just hope we'll get to see it.
Of course, this hurts JT, a lot, but he understands it anyway. He's just amazing. <3
Also, how did the director find such perfect leads to cast? They have the most raw insane chemistry I have ever…
So much word, they truly are perfect for their roles. I hope and pray we'll see them again. I watched their interviews and it looks that both are willing, so... please?
