lol Glad you understand. Thanks for your civil response.
I found this when it suddenly popped up on world-of-bl today. It seems almost no Japanese, Korean, or Taiwanese BLs show up until they are already airing. Of course, there are thousands of Thai BLs shown as upcoming, but who wants to watch that stuff?

I have three different adblockers enabled on my computer so I get no ads or pop-ups. Without them, I don't know...

ugh "army"-style comments and tactics annoy me. Reeks of fangurl/marketing schtick out of the kpop agency playbook.

You are of course, free to do and write as you please.

You're in the minority. lol I get tons of hate from MDLers.

I thought he was 20 years younger than that. Take a look at his MDL bio page. 42 years old!

Hi Wonda. Thanks for the friend request. However, we regret to inform you that you missed the 100th friend spot by 20. You are indeed my friend #120. Welcome!

It's a little unicorn of awesome that no one knows about. The insanely short episodes are insanely frustrating. I don't understand how any money was made on this thing. I'm hoping it's a promo for a full series. I remain in shock that the corporate slave is 42 years old IRL. wtf?

I get that and almost did the same. However, I felt a germ of a fun story in there and as another commenter said, the visuals were good.

I try very few Thai BLs, but the ones I do usually get dropped as quickly as you dropped this one. I don't even try anything out of the Philippines. God-awful.

Totally. Sometimes you really can tell that quickly that a show sucks.

Ummm...I have Masters Degree in Journalism. Respectable journalists do NOT write stupid, juvenile headlines pretending that the actors are doing things in the shows in which they play characters. I'll assume you know the difference, though apparently, you don't.

There are a hundred ways to lure readers with enticing headlines other than composing middle-school newspaper-type silliness.

I love that you don't know the difference between "literature" and "journalism." lol

I have no respect for bad writing or the bad, trash-writing writers who compose it, and I don't see a reason to pretend otherwise. Miss Lily also writes many garbage articles fomenting "scandals," about actors, using weasel words to cover her ass as she does so. She seems to enjoy helping drive Korean entertainers toward suicide.

Hi Truth. I speculated about the translation/subs also. After what she said about him liking to jerk off while looking at magazines with photos of naked women, it ended up sounding more like he simply prefers doing that to having actual sex with her. Apparently, that is how his sperm was obtained to artificially inseminate her at the hospital, as she said according to the subs I saw. Bizarre and fascinating. At first, it felt like she was coming on to our lead, but by the end of her quiet little rant, it didn't feel that way.

I admire this plot's willingness to explore dark issues going on in relationships that are usually concealed from others. We have no idea what is happening in the intimate areas of other people's relationships.

"bully..." lol
That word, like "masterpiece," gets thrown around MDL so loosely that it means nothing.

Little lily, who despite her earlier, vile, "bullying" article full of falsehoods, attacking Israel and every Jew on the planet; an article she used to spew Jew-hate openly, will survive just fine. Oh also, her writing is amateurish, often misleading and trashy; and rife with grammatical errors. She is definitely the worst "writer" at MDL.

Glad to have inspired you, condom. oops, I mean dom.

Agreed. But it's not as though we've seen much to this point.

Thanks to the above review, I will not waste my time on this. I did watch about five minutes of the first ep a few days ago, and decided to put it off til later, but it was already clear then it likely sucked.

Avoided.

For whatever reason, halfway through episode 7, I can't take it anymore. lol
Stupid
Juvenile
Lame
Bad acting
Bad writing
Bad direction
Actors are clothed much too high a percentage of the time.

I felt brain matter leaking out my left ear and knew it was time to call it quits on this POS.
Another robot BL down the shitter.

Why did the rich kid's tennis shoes sound like ten-pound high heels on the pavement?

Dropped.
1/10

It seems you are misinterpreting my replies to you. Whether or not that is deliberate, I have no idea.

I did NOT state or imply that ace and aro are the same thing. I am entirely clear on the difference. Nor did I write that aro people cannot experience sexual attraction. Nor did I write that repulsed ace people cannot or do not experience romantic attraction.

So who, exactly, are you responding to?

I am beginning to think you seek/invent reasons to lecture on these issues even when no lecture is needed or wanted. Why you do that is not something I claim to know.

"Allos however are not my area of knowledge," lol
Considering that slightly more than 99% of the human race is allosexual, and that you enjoy expounding on the less than 1% who are ace/aro, consider educating yourself so you'll sound like you know what you're talking about.

The rest of that last paragraph is word salad. Who are these people who "...do necessary things only?" lol Everyone on Earth does unnecessary things all the time.

No need for this discussion to continue though. Thanks.

Hi Nano.
Other than good BLs and a few gay-themed shows, I am not a fan of Asian dramas. They seem to drag out stories that could be told in less than half the time, or even in a two-hour film. However, there are a few I enjoyed. Here is a link to my custom list of best mainstream dramas. I intended it to have 30 titles, but I've only made it to 10 so far because I don't watch enough of them to make the goal. :)

And I'm sure many, many sex-repulsed and ace people have silently been in relationship and married to allos throughout human history...yes? They just kept their mouths shut about it because who were they going to tell? OR...they just stayed single.

Question: why would an aro person ever want to be in a relationship in the first place, now that society, especially younger people, are much more aware that if they aren't into other people romantically there's no reason to force themselves?

Why thank you! ;)

Lame reply, sis!
