@American Fan Can you please remind me which HIStory series we are planning to watch as a group tomorrow? I've already watched "Obsessed," but I didn't rate it very highly. I read somewhere that one of the HIStory series is more popular than the others. Is it the one that Charles Tu has a role in?

We will be watching History 3: Trapped (2019).  I believe it's the most popular History series. 

Charles Tu is in History 4: Close To You (2021), which I really enjoyed, but isn't rated as highly as Trapped.

"Obsessed" was okay, but I like the series mentioned above and the series I list below much more. All of which I rated a 9 or 10.  IMO, of course!

History 2: Crossing The Line (2018)

History 2: Right or Wrong (2018)

History 3: Make Our Days Count (2019) 

My least favorite of the History series and the first ones to come out (2017):

History: My Hero

History: Stay Away From Me

Obsessed is also from this era and the better of the 3, imo. Here's a link to all three as a compilation on MDL.

Jump to 2023 and History 5: Love in the Future came out, but it was a disappointment for me. 

There you have it! It's more info than you asked, but it's also confusing to many. Thankfully there is no need to watch in a particular order since they are completely different stories.

American Fan- History 3: Trapped is my favorite out of the Historys. I love it! ♡ Andy(Jack) is my favorite charactor. lol! XD

Yeah, Jack really caught my attention for sure! He was hot, fun and little bit crazy (as Andy)! I wish he had been in more dramas. 

For Boun Prem fans <3

OH wow  Thank you  for the info that helped !  I will watch History 3: Trapped with you guys and add  History 4: Close To You to my BL PTW list !

So, I'm thinking next I will give this famous Addicted 2016 a shot because it keeps coming up LOL I am seeing dubious consent in the tags though. So.....fingers crossed LOL

For Addicted, even if I drop this later, I would like to say that I'm really appreciating the visual grit so far. There's no filter from the guys, I can see their pores and dark circles, the 'laddish' teenage boy look, the average joe's town and housing. All but one c drama I've watched have been wuxia/xianxia genre's so my experience with c drama's is that everything is very glossed over and every detail is perfectly co ordinated. This real human approach is very refreshing for me.

Ok I thought I was the only one who felt that way.

I love this club. As usual just when you think you are the odd one out there is always someone here who is of the same mind. Yes I noticed the awkwardness too.

There is something else I wanted to say but held back but let me save it for my final review.

 RXinw:

Well considering the original material, the novel, and it's tags, dubious consent was their way of making it censored enough for airing. Although if it had the chance to finish before the Chinese government intervened I do not know if they would have included the other tag. I guess we will never know the direction it was to take regarding that other tag.

Oh this is an incomplete series then?
