Actually most countries don't have a codified crime for pedophilia, it is considered a disease. The actions a pedophile does is what is a crime.

So rape of a vulnerable, child grooming, child porn, etc... are crimes. If the pedophile never fullfils their desires, they're not criminals according to the law.

Both translations I saw were SO different that I don't know which scenes to ask hahaha Like, the context was ok, but the intensity of what was said was completly different.

But during the discussion after the fightscene, does Taejoo say explicitly "I Like You"?

Some people want to help, other sites want money...

But some subs are really poorly translated. One BL site who is famous for stealing fansubs works, when they do the subs themselves usually make unintelligible subs. I saw a lot of other fansubs using this to translate into their languages

It's rather funny how two straight characthers can kiss on Korean TV (we've had 2 only in 2019 alone), but if the characthers are gay/willing to really make up, it becomes a taboo.

Someone who speaks Korean could tell us what subtitles convey better the meaning of what they say?

I've seen some local fans translating from an alternative source rather than viki (which is taking surprisingly long for a 10 min episode) and the subtitles have nothing to do with each other.

We all know this will be the best produced thai BL of the year. Bring it on!

I cant believe there is a pinoy version of Marimar hahaha

My bet is that the end game couples will be KimWay (with Kim already liking Way just as My Hero), KhetPan (com'on, they are cleary in love hahaha) and Soda with Way's girlfriend (I don't know about Way's girlfriend, but Soda definitly likes women).

I still can't believe they made up an episode just to people emphatize with him LOL

No, this is likely based on the special the author of the novel released this month. One is in the past, while sarawat was in love with tine and didn't know who he was, one about Sarawat and Tine nowadays and one for each secondary couple.

One thing that I really loved is that Elijah is able to deliver the "I want you but I don't want you to notice" mood very well. It's different from what we've seen in other BLs such as Addicted and 2moons, where it was boderline harssment most of the times. Now I wonder if it was director's or actor's fault.

This is so freaking good! The boys are adorable, they deliver their scenes very well and the script seems well done, it uses very well the fact the the show is done throught social media.

He's having a new drama this july

Yes, the company required that there was a straight couple on the series. The author said that initially he didn’t agree, but he took the opportunity to rewrite the character to showcase a healthy straight female/gay male friendship that it’s so lacking in Thai BL.

But I wish they hadn’t changed :(
I imagined an actor like the one who played Green in 2gether as Nadya, he would be perfect for the role. Me as a physician I’ve met doctors like Nadya while in graduation, it would be sooooo good to see this representation on screen.

Still isn’t censored. Censored are Chinese shows, where there is a policy that prohibits things. The lack of intimacy of the last few episodes was due to a poor directing choice, it has nothing to do with censorship.

It’s on the series social media, she just wasn’t listed here on MDL, but if you check out twitter or Facebook you’ll see the actress that’ll play her.

Gurl, NOTHING was censored here. How can call a show censored when it wasn't not being biased and free hate?

The main issue about this is that with comics/anime/books it's easy to make clearer definitions. It doesn't matter if it is cute, toxic, violent, realistic. If it is realease throught a BL magazine/company, it is BL. Other types of warnings such as reversible couples, violance, etc... are on the cover and/or the age rating.

This doesn't translate well into live action works, specially the ones with original script, cause there's no such thing as a BL "stamp" to use.

At the end, just go by what the producer says. If the company say it's a BL than it is. There are no "rules" about who writes or how it is written a BL.

You should try watching Hes Coming To Me and Dark Blue Kiss, both BLs that tackles LGBT issues as a huge parte of the plot.

The use of realism and/or toxicity to differentiate BL and LGBT works is flaw.

Just a few exemples: The Effect, Killing Stalking, Double Mints were all released in their home countries as a BL, trageted to female audiences.

All of Scud's movies (30 years of Adonis, Anphetamine) are LGBT, not BL, but they only depict glamourized toxic relationships.

And saying that BL doesn't depict strugles of gay life is also a HUGE mistake. Just take for exemple Life Senjou No Bokura, or work such as Dark Blue Kiss and Love By Chance. They do show the strugles, some even tackle political issues. Saying that BL is apolitical is to limit the genre.

You are right, being BL is about the demographic the show is sold to, but there is no "LGBT" genre and/or demographic in Asian countries, it is a theme that is present on a lot of works.

I believe most people who cross this strict line only know the college thai BLs, which are just a very very very small part of the genre.

I do agree to cross the line when we talk about comics, novels and animes, cause BL is a demographic for these, but this doesn't translate into live actions. We all know that What Did You Yeat Yesterday, Ossan's Love and Banana Fish aren't BLs, but guess what, they are listed on the BL section of Rakuten TV! LOL

This doesn't happen only in Japan, but in Thailand too. They call any gay couple on any series Y couple (their name for BL couple).
