YES YES YES!!! I love all the ones you listed !! The only 'complain' I have with some of the Chinese dramas are the sudden 'cut off' endings. One I remember is Addict. It was weird. Maybe they are trying to hint about a sequel?? idk
I hope in Ronin's case being attracted to guys isn't limited just to the one guy he likes. Let him be comfortably…
Just out of curiosity. Not arguing, not judging. Just want to know your point of view.
Why do you prefer them being gay for men in general, instead of just focusing on one partner be it male or female? I guess, to me, the latter will mean he's more of a loyal man? since his affection is solely toward the individual regardless if male/female/trans/etc? Whereas the former could mean he could be distracted by multiple men? since his trigger depends on the sexual orientation of the person, instead of the individual?
Joseph's parents are so encouraging. Love how Joseph kisses.
There's been a surge of Fil-dramas. I'm glad the Philippines are putting their marks in the BL world. Although I like some better than others, I'm thoroughly enjoying them.
Umm…Apparently a fan-service attemp when it comes to the plot. If you only want to see two cute guys being lovey-dovey…
Two other mainland China bromances that's really good: "The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty" and "S.C.I". I like "Handsome Brothers" too, but the mls are actually brothers, so I'm not sure if that's considered as BL.
I believe this credit goes to the new director? Sar and Tine's charactors seem to be defined slightly differently here than in 2gether. I think it's a positive change and they seem to match better with the signatures unique to Sar/Tine.
Sar/Tine's two signatures are:1) Sar keeps asking to sqeeze Tine's breast. 2) Sar always pat Tine on the head. They are unique to Sar/Tine because i hardly see those done that often in other BLs. However, it could be that I haven't watched enough BLs.
In 2gether, Sar's charactor has a 'bad boy' vibe and a 'cold' vibe, which I think Bright performs very well and very naturely. He's like a magnet in those styles and he's extremely good looking with those facial expressions of 'no smiles', 'cold straight stern serious face', 'eyes narrowing without speaking' etc etc. There are scenes, though limited, where Sar is very gentle, like when he nursed Tine's wounds in his room. But even then the sounds of his voice was so sexy. Sar was definitly very charismatic in 2g and Bright brought it out wonderfully. While Tine is masculine and sporty as well. Both body and facial expressions are as 'manly' and comparible to Sar. But Tine was much warmer, more talkative, less independant. So I could not tell the seme/uke untll the sofa scenes.
I think with both their masculine sporty type of charactor definitions, one would naturally expect aggressive sex. Like a toned down version of Max/Tul's.
In S2G, I find Tine's charactor way more feminine than when he was in 2g. His interactions and facial expression changes when he's with Sar. I though Win was REALLY 'pretty' in many of the scenes. Very girlish. I think his makeup was done deliberately for it. While Sar's charactor is warmer and more mature, almost in a 'fatherly' way. The sexy bad boy vibe is way less than in 2g.
So their new charactor definitions suits much better with the 'patting on the head'. As for the 'squeezing breast', I think it's the signature they'll incooperate it regardless. It means Sar is a perv period. LOL.
I'm not sure who's credit is that, but I think it's the new director's interpretations of Sar/Tine, and he guided Bright/Win's actings that way?
I really really love Sar/Tine's charactors in 2g, especially Sar's vibes. But their charactors did not evolve properly after they became officially a couple.
I think Backaof has a better understanding of how to evolve them.
just watched ep 1. Really cute and happy drama up to this point. The story line is a bit silly though and I wasn't sure if I'd like it. But everything worked in ep 1, I laughed a few times too. Both ML's and FL's actings are great. ML is hot and FL is cute. The scenery, sets, and backgrounds are very attractive, perfect shooting I'd say. Looking forward to the next eps.
Re-watching this drama again. Still think it's a good drama. But thoses REALLY ANNOYING charactors still bug the hell out of me LOL. (bi**** daughter and ass**** grandpa). Sorry, pardon my language. And the way YBT and KMJ keeps making decisions on how others should live their lives, commit others money to events before asking their consent, and how others must behave, etc, really bother me too. I'd have left them a long time ago. As time goes by, I think the later generations of viewers will really find this drama hard to stomach. I already find a lot of the issues outdated and the families behaviours are quite out of line and hard to relate. However, it was heart warming the way the families learn to accept YTS and KS. I think given the time period this drama is made with the social and family problems at that era, the family still holds together, I believe that's the message of the story.
I love BrightWin ship, but ep 2 was just too repetitive. It became really boring when they were doing the same punching game with just changing fruits. I understand that they are doing what their fans request, but they could have made more significant variations, still within the fans' concept, to those 3 tries to make it more interesting. Having said that, I'll still watch this show since it's BrightWin :-)
Is this worth watching? i set a reminder for myself when i read about it on netflix but i waited until a few eps…
Not worth for me. I'm up to ep 2 and am considering dropping it. The acting is awkard, the boxing scenes seem forced, the gym exercises and coaching was unconvincing, the actors are all not athletic enough except Man's sister. She's fit. Nothing special with the storyline. I got bored already. But that's just me. I see positive reviews in other comments.
