Did you mean ep 13? Because ep 14 isn't out until tomorrow...

It's just plain diabolical is what it is 😭😂

I felt like I was drowning when that underwater scene played... No oxygen entered my brain

It might be region restricted, when a drama is on both Gaga and Viki it's usually because they have obtained a license to air in different regions from each other.

WSW will regret giving him that belt 😅 (though not really)

Please consider watching on one of the official platforms instead of pirate sites, to support the actors and the production. The membership on the official RevengedLove YouTube channel is not expensive.

Is this the official platform? Will we support the production and actors if we watch from there?

"Ridiculous" and "unhinged" are the keywords to keep in mind when trying to read any of her books 😂
The one I got farthest into was Advance Bravely, but at one point I couldn't continue that and had to drop it. I haven't been able to get more than a few chapters into any of the others that I have tried.
She said in a recent interview that she prefers if people don't read Counterattack but watch the new drama instead, as she was in a bad place and too unhinged when she wrote it and now she can't even stomach some parts of it herself.

You would think that people could figure this out for themselves but no. (The thing about the animals is at the end of the closing credits, though.)

All platforms should have the same version. But I heard that the Korean platform Heavenly had a version of episode 10 where the office scene was slightly longer than the rest of the platforms.

Do you have links to any clips?

If you mean the manager Janine in Reset, I love them so much

The Japanese BL "My Beautiful Man" (two seasons) is a fan favourite. One of my all time favourite BLs is the Korean "Semantic Error".
Thai BL "KinnPorsche" had its flaws but was kind of groundbreaking, check it out if you haven't already.

This. They basically have a Dom/sub relationship but suck at communicating about it so they don't really understand each other until the end. It's not actually toxic.

Immortality is the censored live action bromance adaptation of the popular danmei novel "The Husky and His White Cat Shizun", also known by its shorthand "2ha" or "Erha". It was supposed to air right after Word of Honor back in 2021, and then China banned anything to do with danmei in films and TV series, even if it was censored. So it ended up on the shelf indefinitely.

With Thai BL, it's a matter of volume. With such a big BL industry output, you will get some gems and some duds, just like with C-dramas. The bigger the output, the more duds. And you're also going to get series that are just low quality production cash cows, with just the bare minimum effort to sell the CP, with very little focus put into scriptwriting, production and editing. Also let's not forget that China has a vastly greater population than Thailand and that means bigger budgets.

Thai BLs can be very good when they are good, but unfortunately not all of them are.

I know exactly how you feel 😭

Yeah, I'm not saying that playing the shou automatically leads to smear campaigns, just that the ones that have been subjected to those had just recently played shou.

The Xiao Zhan event is too complicated to relate here, but he was also subjected to hate campaigns because of the AO3 incident and lost endorsements, and his dramas that he'd already filmed didn't air until one or two years later. He hasn't done as many Strong Manly Hero roles, but he did play the main lead in Ace Troops. Maybe his style doesn't suit them? He's played several het romance roles, though. And yes, after the hate storm settled down he came back and it has been pretty smooth sailing for him since then.

The allegations against Zhang Zhehan have been debunked many times over. It was a fabricated smear campaign directly targeting him after his sudden rise of popularity after starring in WoH. Whether it had to do with jealousy over his sudden rise in popularity or with the fact that he had starred in a dangai is unclear. Might be either, might be both. Since the Chinese police refuse to investigate the case, we'll never know. I'm not trying to spread panic, I'm just stating facts, and I did mention how most of the popular danmei and dangai actors so far are doing fine (some even after having gone through some trouble) and some of them even great (like Zhu Yilong, who keeps winning prestigious awards for his acting).

He deliberately sabotaged JXS's scheme just so he'd continue to "take refuge" in his house a bit longer, and yeah, omitted to tell him that the issue was already resolved, for the same reason. But I agree that when it comes to the physical interactions, he's never acted inappropriately IIRC. And the fact that he backed off during the aphrodisiac scene despite having inhaled it himself was definitely green flag behaviour.
