Hi RiqueXinw! Sounds rough, hang in there. It'll be worth it in the long run. Good thing you have dramas and the BL club forum for a little relief. :-) <3
Speaking of The Legend of Shen Li, I'm currently watching it and on EP 35 now. So far there has only been the merest hint of bromance btw Furong & Mofang, and def no kiss, but there's still 5 EP to go. I can hope.
I'm a little surprised it's even mentioned in BL circles. So far I would def NOT consider it a side BL or even bromance story, but as I said maybe there's development late in the series. I do know this drama is getting tons of attention and many viewers are going gaga over it, to the point of gathering on the MDL war zone page to attack negative comments. I told myself to stay away from the front lines.
