Haven't watched this yet since it just came out in the theaters in Taiwan, but from what i've heard it's top notch and even topped the box office surpassing every other movie for 2020 (in Taiwan). Friends with feelings for each other that go beyond the friend line. This and I told sunset about are the highest rated bl/lgbtq/coming of age dramas, put this on your plan to watch list cause it won't disappoint + it might be the only one that can compete with I told sunset about you since it set the bar so high. Top bls/coming of age of the year don't miss out.
Both take place in all-boy christian school; coming out in a heavily religious atmosphere; questioning your faith in face of homophobia; complicated relationship with a religious mentor figure; one of the leads is a rebel. Also just the vibes are very similar - melancholic, bittersweet, very raw coming-of-age story.
Both are set in Taiwan after martial law and feature stories about burgeoning youth dealing with their sexual orientation.
Equally sad story that tackles homophobia and queer love under the guise of friendship. In Brake, the love is unrequited and ends on an uneven note. I highly recommend watching this.
Edward Chen starring in another BL. Similar to Your Name Engraved Herein; the plot such when things don't work in the past in the future maybe?
The overall plots of these two films have some interesting parallels and shared themes at a high level (including a story which bridges multiple decades of experience, a relationship between two high-schoolers which changes their relationship with a hostile world, and a separation which interrupts that relationship for a long time), and both locate their story in regionally-specific contexts. So Long, See You Tomorrow has less of the dramatic teenage angst of being a queer teen in a past decade (opting instead for a quieter form of teenage angst), a more meditative approach to its story, and a more hopeful and less bittersweet tone in its ending.
The cinematography is similar, both about gay men and their struggle surrounding relationships, particularly platonic relationships.
if i had to tell you you gonna see how there something sparkle between them but what they did? yeah of course keep it in silent and leave the other behind in the dark. while YNEH more complicated than it look while ALR is more nostalgic how their world together as a young foolish teenager who doesnt even know what is love, eventhough you know you just gonna swallow that shit because that was my precious relationship that i dont want to ruin just because i had more a feeling than just a friend
- Both of them have a wonderful storyline, and both of them have nice actors.
- They are both LGBTQ+ film & series ('Heroin' is a series, the 'Your Name Engraved Herein' is a movie ).
- Both are Chinese BLs
- Both of these have lovely and wonderful actors and characters that keep it up your attention.
- They are all worth a look, I swear to you!
