BL Compilations

Yes, the first few episodes are free. The rest need an iQIYI subscription (and to watch on the app) which I have.

totally forgot about that one, just added it, thanks for letting me know :)

I think they tried, maybe it was better explained in the book. They do feel on more equal footing at the end.

That is very sweet of you to say. :) Your comment reminded me to update my review since Gaga added it as a 6 episode version recently.

thanks, I was going thru my watch list and I think I ended at titles that started with 's', I need to go back and finish the rest soon :)

I watched the whole thing for the review but yeah, most of the series was not for me.

Porsch and Arm even made a series of their wedding on GagaOOLala :) https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/5168/porscharm-the-wedding-2025
And yes, I'm always a fan of good communication.

it finally happened in ep 8 ugh

in the past their ending was tragic, in 1947 they had a happily ever after though 1 character's soul took over his doppleganger's body and then there is a time jump to present with an open ending but implied they will have a happily ever after

spoiler for the ending

you are very welcome, glad I could help :)

Very welcome, several people have said they are useful when wanting to focus on the romance. I have them in some of my reviews.

Hey, I'm sorry, I can't remember but there generally is a kiss at the last episode or 2 in vertical BL series...

thanks for letting me know, I'll update my review now

yes, I've seen both and enjoyed them :)

You are very welcome :)

Yes, I think the younger sister plot was the weakest. The m/m romance was one of my favorites and I like how they discussed social issues not shown as much in media hence my high rating.

😍

lol about the odd voice, OMG I missed the women dancing together. I need to rewatch asap.

I don't think those from the industry are going to be influenced by my or others MDL reviews though if they are, there are a wide range of reviews/perspectives for them to draw from. I see everything from 2-10 on 10Dance. All reviews are subjective, they are based on our experiences and what we value. I value that the movie tried something different from what we've seen before.

Also, thinking more about it, there is a lot of subtext that some people might not be used to and might rate it lower. I added internalized homophobia because I think Sugiki Shinya had a ton of internalized homophobia in particular. He also wanted to control everything and did not want to be vulnerable. These things weren't explicitly stated, a viewer has to make inferences. I did not take off points for that kind of subtlety; however, I can see how others who want things more clearly defined would take off points.
