I'm definitely rooting for Mork - Pi is kind of a dick, though. I almost wish Mork would end up with Duean. Or Mix.

I normally don't like things like that, but it worked for me here - they're making this a live-action manga.

I'm OK with Pi being immature and jealous, but he's being too rude. Mork gave him a very sincere apology, and he should have the basic manners to accept it. He could have done that and decline to be friends and not seemed quite as awful.

I'm hoping the theme will be that his problem is he's unattractive on the inside, and he needs to work on that.

If you want fluffy, Brothers is about as fluffy as it gets. I don't like fluffy and it's my favorite BL airing at the moment. It's not the BEST BL airing, but I love it.

Maybe his secret friend is his mom (now THAT would be funny). Or the older brother we haven't met yet.

Personally, I love being objectified. Or I did love it when it used to happen. Sigh.

If people could just take fanservice as good fun, it would be fine - but it's become this weird twilight zone where people of normal intelligence lose the ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality.

It BL actors were highly-paid, I would just shrug. But they're not, and they're vulnerable to exploitation. And since they are paid almost nothing, they have to do the fanservice to make any money. It's not an easy problem to solve, but it doesn't look like anyone is trying.

It's based on two different real experiences of the director. None of it is "real" as it's fictionalized and the events changed, but I think the themes are about common issues in the BL industry.

I don't even know who Jaehyun is, altohugh image searching him seems to indicate he's a person who changes his hair every day, if not more frequently than that. searching "jaehyun shirtless" was not disappointing, I must say.

I am, however, a music major and composer. No art is original. It is all inspired by others and built on what has come before. I wouldn't be surprised if both Mew and Jaehyun were inspired by some third source, or by the pop music scene in general. Since they're writing in different languages, if there are similarities in the lyrics, it doesn't seem likely there was any plagarism going on.

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata was inspiried by the Commendatore's death scene in Mozart's opera Don Giovanni. I doubt rabid Mozart fans went nuts over it. But it's a good thing they weren't in today's world or Constanze Mozart would be cyberbullied by all the Mozart-Salieri shippers.

OMG, you are the best - that cracked me up. I went over to BL Tea Cafe and I need to be decontaminated like in those movies where people are exposed to radiation or some deadly virus from outer space. It's really gross.

Let's all decide not respond to any poisonous attacks - this forum is friendly and rational. I went over to BL Tea Cafe and it's unbelievable that a place like that exists - you normally have to go to neo-Nazi sites if you want to see people that full of bile.

People take uninformed partisan positions about things that aren't important to anyone put themselves - I don't understand. BL is light entertainment, not a life-or-death struggle. Yeesh!

I don't understand why people shade things they haven't even watched, but nothing about that site made any sense to me. Maybe you should stay out of there for your own sanity? I need a shower after 5 minutes of it.

You are really horrible. I never really block people, but I think we should all do it because this is a friendly forum, not a childish cesspool like BL Tea Cafe.

Good lord. That is the most poisonous cesspit I've ever experienced online. I almost feel like abandoning BL entirely after 5 minutes there. Nobody has anything to say - it's all just hit-and-run snide remarks and insults. At least here people generally explain their POV.

Actually, you're the one who is launching personal attacks and providing no evidence to back up your opinion, and instead are marketing the site you're an admin for. That's a little odd.

How is it not an ethical issue? BL productions impose unreasonably strict controls over actors and they are more or less forced to give up private lives (or to have secret private lives) in favor of promoting their ships. Take a look at any BL actor's instagram or other social media - you won't see even a hint of a gf in them, even though 99% of them are straight.

And it's an issue you can lay at the feet of fandom because it's considered necessary - productions are promoting the illusioin that their relationship is real in order to maintain interest in the series. If fans weren't like that, actors could have normal(ish) lives.

Fan-serivce is weird. If people were just taking it as fun, it would be fine, but people lose their minds over it. These are actors doing their jobs - it's almost insulting their skills to assume they're together in RL and what you're seeing onscrean is real instead of acting.

The actors in BL are more vulnerable, though, and the main issue in this is not shipping, it's sexual harassment.

I think Bas' story is the most important part of the plot. If this is based on 2moons2, then the producer is sexually harassing him.

Nick is Prab's bf, so I would imaging he will be heartbroken. He's not really his bf, but they made it clear in the beginning that they were dating.

Wow, the plot is starting to move. Prab is surprisingly muscular - his arms didn't look small compared to the muscle bear. BTW, I think maybe the producers are not aware that that term doesn't mean what they think it means. Also, the legs on those twins... yikes.

It feels like the teacher-student story is headed in the direction of false accusations rather than impropriety - I feel like if the teacher were a sexual predator he would have done something by now. He's had plenty of opportunity. On the other hand, teachers don't normally go shopping with students.

My theory is he's afraid the ugly teacher is after Maping - he always has a worried look whenever he shows up. Either that, or he's afraid the ugly teacher will catch him doing something bad. We'll see shortly.

Poor Nick. Normally the Nick-type character would be someone built up for you to dislike, but he's been nothing but a gentleman and you can't help but say "poor Nick" after ever scene he's in. I hope he finds someone who will love him.

That's right! LOL, I forgot, but that was really precious.
