So Im a straight female, and majority of my friends (3 to be precise) who watch and discuss are as well. I dont know if its persay the actual "act of two men getting it" that we like but more so the stories that are usually produced/portrayed. Yes sometimes the visuals can help, two attractive guys? Surely itll get noticed, but thats more of a bonus or an afterthought for me. My friends and I dont watch it soley because its two men, but more so the story that comes with it and it just happens to be two males as the leads. Many of the straight couple stories are becoming too repetitive and too cliche a lot of times impo. Its tiring, and sometimes the portrayal of the girls are terrible, they are either super naive, clingy or beyond annoying...(Not saying all but many that I have watched portray the woman as such) Its honestly a challenge these days to actually find dramas that I enjoy the couple and their chemistry. However for these BLs or Censored BLs they are like a breathe of fresh air for me. The chemistries are usually really good, I feel the tension whether its physical or not. And if there is intimate scenes ie kissing, its actually believable, like I truly feel I am watching two lovers meanwhile I cant say the same always for a girl x guy couple. And especially for the censored BL's the stories are so engaging! Not only do we have the beautiful chemistry between the leads but the plots are usually pretty strong, where you aren't solely focusing on their gender but the actual multilayered story itself evolving around them. Its nice to see both leads have strong personalities/qualities where individually as characters they are interesting. But when they are together they become even better version of themselves which sometimes gets lost in girl x guy couple stories.
Due to the censorship, the director/producer/screenwriter really have to be creative in displaying love between two males but not outwardly show it, and that in itself is really interesting to watch to see how creative and clever they can get! Because even without the physical actions, or the blatant I love yous, you can still see the love and endearment towards one another just by looking at their gazes, their smiles, the way they act, their words and there is something so charming about it while watching. Im not sure how to explain it but truly i guess the reoccuring term "Soulmates" just sums it up. Even though Im straight, I enjoy watching these and even find myself learning new things & perspectives here and there whenever I finish one.
To me...watching episode 10, i gotta say Puth & Kaeng were both annoying me equally LOL. Kaeng shouldnt have done half the stuff he did especially when he knows Puth likes that guy...I felt so bad for the tutor during that dinner scene, he seemed so nice and understanding and then Kaeng over there ruining things...idc how much you like a person you dont do that...also him trying to seduce Puth multiple times didnt sit well with me either....like dont sell your body like that for a guy you like because if you keep offering your body youre not gonna have a relationship thats beyond "sex" i know that they were both playboys who sleep around previously but uh...thats not gonna help a lasting relationship. and Puth being really rude to Kaeng not caring about his feelings when they were friends prior?? He couldve been nicer; and just communicated better. But the last 20ish minutes were really nice, my favorite part because I felt like they actually communicated with one another and had a civil conversation!! I still enjoyed this story regardless and Kaengs fashion in this LIKE WOW!!!
