Other than the sex scenes and the cuteness of the leads, there was absolutely NOTHING redeeming about this series. Sorn was a lying manipulative jerk, arrogant a-hole, and mysoganistic control freak. He started out that way and the series did very little to change his character in the end. Jun was a naive, immature, trusting, careless, gullable dupe. The series also did little to help Jun be less of his traits.
I get it. There are those who thoroughly enjoy plots where naive young men are manipulated and banged out of the wazoo by older controlling a-holes. WHY? IDK. LOL!
I'm still trying to figure out "The My Stubborn" title. Just who was the "stubborn" one? Sorn? Jun? Or those of us who actually watched and enjoyed this sh*t and didn't have a problem with it? LMFAO!
The concept of this series is cringy, weird, and extremely awkward. If they don't tie in Ze Fang into this story fiarly soon, it will be a really tasteless series. Yes, I said tasteless. Otherwise, Hia Yuan and the grandfather would be falling in love with each other! Significant age-gap notwithstanding (which is already messed up), where would that leave Ze Fang (who orignally was in love with Hia Yuan)? Finally, if the grandfather and grandson soul's switch back, what does this mean for grandpa? He'll not only probably be dead of a ghost, but heart broken as well! This series is just so wrong on so many levels and the main characters being cute shouldn't gloss over that. I'm just smh!
This series was actually pretty good, although some posters don't agree. Yes, the story had some contrived scenes. But what drama doesn't. It also DIDN't have many (if any) tropes, stereotypes, and cliches. Most of all, it didn't have uni engineering and medical students! LMFAO!
I likes seeing Krist and Singto in adult roles where they can actually show what adult-like lgbtq+ love could be. Also, who couldn't just love the subtle references to their previous series together. All of this culminating into something that many of us (who are Krist/Singto fans) always wanted to see from Krist/Singto, really nice "ending" to a nearly 10 year chpater of this famous couple.
I originally said I would pass after viewing the trailer. Well, curiosity once again got the best of me. The episode was just as expected. It was light-hearted with the usual tropes, medical students and engineering students, the hubby-wifey routine, medical students perceived as being "fragile," "weakling" (I guess emulating the female role), etc., and the engineering students perceived as being "dominant" (emulating the alpha-male role), as well as an all too familiar plot.
I originally said I would pass, and now I'm sure of it. Other than the good-looking guys, I didn't see any indication of anything else. BUT it's just the first episode. It might get much better. However, I doubt it and may just binge-watch later after it's finished. LMFAO!!!!
It is based on a story that's titled Counterattack. It's not meant to be fair nor pretty. Suo Wei started this…
I get the idea that it's a "revenge" plot and it wasn't going to be pretty. I just didn't think they'd double down and in some cases "triple down" on all the BL tropes, stereotypes, and threats of rape. Wow! For a Chinese BL, they're going ALL OUT!
I was really liking this series up into the last few eps. All the manipulation, threats of rape, toxicity, tropes and stereotypes at every turn. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear this series was a "parody" of the BL genre. At this point, I'm now dropping it, even though I've really liked it for awhile.
Obviously, the novel The Next Prince is a BL knock-off of The Game of Thrones. I just wish it had been just as interesting. From what I've read from those who have read the novel, had this series followed the novel more closely, it may had been just as interesting. Too bad!
It's not the first time that a person uses an "imaginary" friend to get through some difficult times. However, it's usually younger persons and kids. And they generally grow out of it as they become older. But again, some retain that even into adulthood. Yeah, it's kind of cringy and weird, but some folks "just are" and it's okay. Gamers are a "different" breed of individual. They have their own subculture within alot of bigger cultures. I agree with @oddsare. This is a unique idea and if done in a way that help Hill grow then, it could be a very interesting series.
China has restricted Boys' Love (BL) content due to concerns over capitalist exploitation of youth-driven trends,…
Great answer. Many BL viewers don't realize that much of the Chinese government's response is greatly due to Addicted, which aired in 2016. Prior to Addicted, the Chinese government kind of/sort turned a "blind eye" to BL content, and did very little in response to the production of BL content. However, after Addicted aired, China's reaction to any kind of BL content, lgbtq+ content, etc. was "persona non-grata." The government even punished and placed serious restrictions on the leads in that BL. Which begs the reason, why are the Chinese BLs (not bromances) now being produced?
