It doesn't need to be spelled out, exactly (even verbal "yes" can be dubious as a consent). It just should be clear if you want to call it "one of the most explicitly consensual ones ever in BL history" . Lian took Kuea home against his will. Kissed him while Kuea couldn't even recognize him. No, they didn't have sex. But it was hardly consensual. By having sex after drinking, I meant their first time. Kuea said he wasn't drunk, but it's not like drunk people can't lie. Frankly, he still looked drunk to me. But that might have been just his sweet fake facade tricking me.
I agree about that. The shrine was creepy, 100 %. I've said the same thing about a similar stuff in SCOY.
"we know that neither of the characters have bad intentions towards each." Do we? I don't think so. And if it makes me uncomfortable enough that I can't relax, I'm not gonna enjoy the ride either.
I've just started rewatching LBC and OMG Pete's mom is played by the same actress as in TMoTB!! I couldn't help but imagining her having a breakdown during that confession scene 😭😭😭
"For some reason I can't leave a review"That's because you've already made one, 2 days ago. If you have anything…
Yop. It's pretty good for writing comments, but that's about it. It crashes occasionally and gives you random errors. Sometimes it doesn't post your comments, sometimes it posts them multiple times... if you are used to the web version, I would have sticked with it mostly (at least until they improve the app).

Kuea didn't even know it's Lian at that time. I don't believe it's consensual, because Kuea was in a state when he couldn't even recognize him. He also fought against Lian taking him home. So while Kuea didn't exactly say no (as far as I remember), I wouldn't exactly say he wanted it. But I understand some people may view it differently, that's why I mentioned the consent is iffy.

"Toxic" isn't an adjective that's solely used for sex. I used it in relation to their behaviour. In this case, it could be synonymous to controlling.
Consent is at the very least iffy in all of those situations. Lian kisses Kuea without his consent. He might have ask Kuea if he wants to have sex, but at that time, both of them were drinking, and Kuea doesn't seem sober to me. Kuea repeatedly says "No" to Lian's advances, and Lian ignores him (or threatens to not let him eat). So no, it's not "one of the most explicitly consensual ones ever in BL history" to me.
It doesn't matter if they are fictional characters. Fiction influences real life as much as it's being influenced by real life. That's the whole point.
For a dom/sub relationship and kink, you need to have strict rules in place. At the very least, you need consent. Discussion about the relationship. Safe word. Trust. Kuea and Lian did none of that. So no, it isn't a "dom/sub" dynamic. It's toxic.
is this worth watching it seems like all of y’all hate it 😭
It's pretty good at the start imo. Gets a bit boring in the middle for some. And the last episode was kinda.... overly dramatic, so most people are not liking that, mostly.
Honestly, if you can wait for two weeks and then binge it, it should be way better experience. But if you want to start now, the first 4 episodes are enjoyable. I would wait at least until ep 7 is out (this friday) before watching episodes 5 and 6, though.
Oh no, poor Khluen!!! He's doing his best 😭😭😭

Girl, where?! At my place, we call that toxic power imbalance and sexual coercion 💚
Which would still be fine for me in the end, if only it wasn't romanticized.

Me reading the summary:(Adapted from the novels by MAME.) : "Yeah, that checks out."
This BL should have been made in 2018. And stayed there.
I will most likely still give it a try, because I'm stupid like that. But it's prolly gonna turn into a hate-watch binge or social suffering 💚
