Jadeheart:
With all the recent talk about the Thai Addicted Heroin series, I got nostalgic for Stay With Me. I wanted to share this edit below with you guys as I'm feeling the pangs of wanting to watch the series again, because I'm feeling emotional and sentimental for it lately. I have been wanting to rewatch it for the first time since I first saw it, but I still can't do it yet.
I've also not yet rewatched "Stay With Me", despite it being such a BL masterpiece in my mind - but for me, it's not so much that I'm "no yet ready" so much as that I tend to rewatch fluffy, feel-good BLs with my favourite cuties as "comfort food". Not that "Stay With Me" doesn't have its share of feel-good moments, and Xu Bin is so cute that he's even in my harem - but it's long and has a lot of "serious", so I need to be in a serious mood.
Anywayyssssss ... yeah ... that brings me to today's episode of "Addicted Heroin". While good, it necessarily lacked the feel-good factor and even comic moments of previous episodes, which mostly means Only/Kitty (e.g. last episode when Only caught Kitty and grabbed him by the *beep* ... oh my gosh, I was dying!). But most of all, as with so many BLs (especially Thai and Korean), the evil manipulative girl (femme méchante) was overdone; it would've been dramatically more effective to make the character flawed but also somewhat likeable (i.e. as more than a pretty face), so I could actually believe that someone like Pop would've gotten involved with her in the first place.
From the preview of next week, I think we'll be back to feel-good, including lots of funny Only/Kitty scenes. I can't wait!
