    Toxic-ish healthy relationship (whatever that means).
    Hiro has a stutter and some mental illness (not sure if autistic or something else).

    Muah, masterpiece. LOVE IT, I WANT MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE.
    Similar to Hannibal the series.

    It's homoerotic fucked up narcissistic/obsessive (not BL, but depentably one sided narcissistic "love").

  • The Eclipse

    I dropped it the first time and gave it 4... oops. Tried again because I like the main actors.
    The plot kinda sucks (all over the place/the "harsh school" isn't really harsh at all).
    But if you prefer character centric shows this is great (Akk & Ayan)
    Idc about second couple, will need to rewatch again

    Taiwanese Movie - 2020

    10

    Watched: 2 times
    Cinematograpy: Amazing
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Bittersweet, sad, grim

    Very moody, realistic and bittersweet. A lot of pretty symbolism, metaphorical imagery and meaningful subtext.

    A show that is better when you know little about it.
    Bittersweet as hell. Still a happy, ambiguous ending.

    Cinematograpy: Really good
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Grim, bittersweet, jealousy,  need to rewatch

    A jealousy filled love triangle with gritty, moody and dark story elements.
    A lot of symbolism and subtextual MM romance. (One sided?)  Open to interpretation.

    It's really good for no reason since it's a very generic slice of life.
    Realistic dialog and conflicts. Kind of philosophical mood. Great acting from pretty much everyone

    It's pretty good considering I hate romcoms and this is a romcom with one very cringy lead.
    Idk, its good. I don't care about the side couple at all, but that's a me thing

    Cinematograpy: Great

    Mood: Fun, comedy, cheesy, bittersweet, mental health

    Not a ''BL show''. MM couple is really well written and acted. Main couple is 'eh', but the sides ones are good. (FM and MM ones)

    Cinematograpy: Amazing
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Bittersweet, grim, broken, philosophical, need to rewatch
    Pair main theme: Need to rewatch. Obsessive?

    The characters are morally ambiguous, obviously flawed and very well portrayed. Even considering the circumstances, I could relate to how the characters were feeling and felt bad for every characters. Even the ''girl rival'', which is usually a bland, useless caricature in ''BL shows'' was well written and I felt sorry for her.

    Watched: 3 times
    Cinematograpy: Great
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Bittersweet, corruption, crime, can't trust any character

    Proper show with a romance sub plot that happens to be two males.
    Fun action stuff, medical pathology and three dimensional characters actually with motives beyond ''make drama because it's the third act and we have nothing''.

    Mood: Cheesy, philosophical, bittersweet, mental health
    Pair main theme: idk

    Fairly basic plot and setting, but pretty good. Lots of good messages to apply for your own life... Doing/learning something new everyday, not become stale in a predictable but unchallenged life, etc.

    Pair main theme: Enemy to Lover, Warm man Cold man
    Guilty pleasure... but I really like the characters. Last few episodes should have been more slow-burn tho.

    That and the gang of dumbasses from Arthit's group are actually funny.

    Sweet story without being too corny/dumb. Zhou Shu is bi and had a crush on his childhood friend, which is a GIRL for once. Finally.

    The other MM pairing was out of place and cringy to watch.

    Half a guilty pleasure? But the characters are very well acted.
    Lots of show not tell behavioural/facial expression cues.  Pretty slow paced.
    Really liked the side characters's tales (Bao Luo Yin's dad, auntie, etc).
    One scene I hated, everything else was well done imo.

    Cinematograpy: Need to rewatch
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Fun, cheesy, action
    Pair main theme: "Enemy to Lover"

    Honestly really liked it, even if some scenes were unfunny or fanservicey (otherwise would be a solid 9.5/10).

    Idc about Jack and other guy though, they were just unnecessary cheese imo.

    Didn't read the manhwa so cant compare. It's nice show. Its more slice of life/coming of age story, with two main couples. Very slow paced kind with many sub stories.
    People complain about the straight romance and say the show is "straight washed" but riding off the BL label. Right. Normal human behaviour from the Interwebs.

    More of an underdeveloped bromance. Manga was better, even the anime was.
    BUT, I see it was romance, just not ''steamy'' or well defined.

    It's not the best, but the psychological horror part was mostly pretty interesting.
    Could have been a lot better tho, felt rushed or somthing.
    Its nice > fucked up > nice-fucked up > nice again
