Touching Gay Stories...
A compilation of short films focusing on gay love, whether it be coming out, first love, etc. from Blued, the popular gay social network. I was surprised when I first heard about this series. The fact that a social network was producing a BL series was quite different though smart marketing. I have used Blued before but wasn't impressed with it so I deleted my account. This series made me think about possibly giving Blued another go. Anywho, each episode was like a short film, with a self-contained story about gay love. Out of the first four episodes that were released on Blued's YouTube channel, my favourite so far was Episode 2 (Secret Crush) which was just so adorable and cute! Episode 4 was also quite touching as it depicted love lost. I'm excited for when the other episodes get released!On a side note, I love that Chinese BL is getting produced by releasing it online rather than through TV channels and networks! Hopefully, more Chinese BL's will be produced like this!

A Masterpiece
This is a masterpiece of cinematic genius, brilliant writing, and profound acting. I BELIEVED each one of these scenarios. I simply cannot say enough good things about this BL series. While most of it will make you feel good, there are a few, and one in particular, that will make you cry and leave you with a hole in your heart the size of the universe. These snippets of everyday (gay) life is so true to reality and so profoundly well done that this has to be labeled a masterpiece. I was deeply moved by all of them. Suspend yourself and allow your thoughts to just get into the stories. I just wish they had English translations of the interviews of the actors during the credits. I write a (free) blog and this will definitely be one of my all time favorite BL series. I shall post my review shortly but check out my other reviews if you so desire. ppbongi.medium.com. Please watch this gem. It is nothing short of perfection.Was this review helpful to you?
Jemné, roztomilé, překvapivě nápadité. Blued neBlued, bylo to o tom, co je to vlastně láska, jakou má podobu. Každý díl o jiném tématu a s jinými, mnohdy sympatickými herci. Nejvíce se mi líbily první tři epizody a čtvrtá smutná. Kdo má rád pestrost a svěžest, určitě jděte do toho!

Histórias reais e lindas
Uma antologia belíssima, sete histórias que mostram a vida de sete casais em suas vidas reais, mostrando que a vida de casais homoafetivos é tão normal quanto qualquer outra. Aqui temos um casal que vive bem e feliz e tem medo de se assumir para os pais, e confesso que a reação dos pais foi linda, um tapa na cara da sociedade preconceituosa da China. O segundo casal é formado por um fã que consegue conhecer seu ídolo da internet, o terceiro casal está bem e feliz, até que um deles compra alianças para um pedido de casamento e causa uma confusão, mas que termina bem. Um casal que se ama muito e é interrompido pela morte de um deles, um casal em relacionamento à distância, outro se apaixonando no local de trabalho, e o último realizando o sonho de formar uma família.As histórias são baseadas e, fatos reais e bem bonitas, roteiros maravilhosos e qualidade de milhões. Quando falo qualidade também incluo fotografia, ost e atuação. Enfim, China tem seus defeitos, mas a qualidade normalmente é muito boa.
O ponto realmente importante para mim, é a coragem de quem idealizou e trabalhou para que essa série acontecesse, afinal, existe muita censura na China. Mesmo se tratando de um material a ser apresentado apenas no app BLUED, foi um ato de resistência e muita coragem.
