Nien and Wayne always together <3

I don't think they're switiching back on this ep, but I trully hope they go back to their bodies at least on the preview of the next one!

LOL You've misinterpreted what I said LOL
A lot of people cry a lot cause it shows them aging and one dying before, therefore they find the ending bittersweet

Chill

It is not very different in fact if you're talking about comics and or books, the difference stands out when we see series, cause lack of funding afects heavily Thai BL and they just adapt the easiest ones, aka what we understand as Thai BL (engeneering, fluffy stories). These are just a small fraction of Thai BL, they just don't have the money to adapt the vast marjority of the novels.

"Boys Love" is a demographic of publication os manga on its origin. Obviously it will include products/storylines that pleases this demographic. In Japan there are a lot of these, like shounen (stories of young males for young males), shoujo (stories of young girls for young females), seinen (writen for adult males), boys love (formely known as shounen-ai and yaoi, mlm stories writen for female audience), geicomi (pejoratively called Bara, mlm stories writen for gay men).

So not all mlm stories are boys love in Japan (Kinou Nani Tabeta is seinen, Banana Fish is shoujo, etc...) and the same goes for novels in Thailland (there called Y novels) and web comics and novels in China e S. Korea.

The idea that boys love is necessarily romantic is a missconception, we have stories like Double Mints, Killing Stalking, The Effect that are BLs, but aren't romantic at all.

The idea of demographic gets lost when we talk about movies/series, so there is confusion even in Japan and Thailand how to categorize when we're discussing live actions. When people from countries without the tradition of publications (novels/comics) talks about BL, we tend to use it as a genre foucused on idealistic mlm relationship, but that's not really what it is.

Since there's no consensus about how to handle this discussion, there's no right or wrong. If the creators of Unlocked advertise it as a BL, there's no problem with that. If they didn't, we could easily say that it is not a BL, but a LGBT themed series.

PS: series like Ossan's Love, Club Friday and Grey Rainbow all thought sometimes people categorize them as BL, they weren't released as such by their companies.

BL being treated as a genre is something new, mostly happens in some countries without the tradition of publishing BLs such as the west and Phillipines. BL is a demographic, not a genre, so it can be romance, action, horror, etc...

They REALLY steped up the game on this episode. I love how they blend the recordings the actors made at home as if they were at the same place.

But Black Sheep could have given the actors an 1080p web cam hahaha Some scenes are very grainy.

Some stuff are the same but there is SO MUCH MORE on the movie... The manga looks pretty shallow next to the live action.

The one at 1:08? He doesn't look like Katsuragi

Being BL ain't really about being imature/not mature (just see Life Senjou no Bokura or Sei no Gekiyaku, both are BLs but one is very reallistic and mature and the other twisted and sadist), but I agree this is a gay themed series too hahahaha

What I got was that the brother (or the ex) of the doctor suicided and the doctor went nuts with all this cherish your life in the best Jigsaw way. Then they stay together cause the doctor becomes suicidal too so they cling to each other as a form to reconcile with the traumas they went throught.

The plot twist is really interesting, I would have like it more if it kept the thriller/exploitation atmosphere at the last quarter, but it seems a good sexual horror/thriller, better than the ones Scud makes.

I'm surprised I kinda liked it????? Obviously is not for everyone, but I didn't see any glamourification and/or estheticization of the scenes (at least without subs).

I only watched EP6 and 10, but i really liked them!

BounPrem are supporting characthers most likely to die first. There's no point to come here complaining that they didn't showed up enough LOL

There's an epilogue scene with some of the stuff that there are on the 5th chapter, but it's not very much.

There was something about the company distributing this in taiwan having a relation with the one that made MODC.

People who don't understand Akira proably live on countries where mlm relationships are well accepted. On the most part of the world, Akira's atitude is perfectly understandable. People keep on asking for realistic depiction of mlm on BLs and when they get (like on this and DBK) they complain LOL

Trying to see the silver linnings... maybe with this other mainland China BLs can make it throught? I believe they'll keep doing small stuff since they can't get funding, but at least there is hope (?)

The only compliment I can give to this series is that they made throught the censorship and aired it internationally.
