The drama is based on a bl novel. But since it is China, I assume they will go with the friendship route or bromance…
really? wow...thank you for letting me know. i think i would've gotten too invested had you not told me. the reason queer people don't get the representation they deserve is because of people like them :(
Thank you!! I am so happy people are being truthful about this show. It's been so frustrating to see people praise…
exactly! and tbh, as a queer person myself, it just makes me feel so useless that my sexuality is used for pure entertainment. they're not taking these diverse characters seriously, as if thinking that even if the plot is terrible, fans will still like the show as long as there is some sexual tension. is this how the producers see us? reduced down to a marketing scheme.
I don't know how I feel about this series...while I know that it is very typical for BL drama series like this…
Since this is a rom-com, it's going to be pretty lighthearted, and the romance isn't very serious since the series just started and they're focusing on building up the characters' personality through humor. personally, i like it! but don't worry, i'm sure it'll be awesome as the plot progresses :)
The name of this series should be "fan service". Period.
it's basically homophobic, at this point. i hate how BLs are just an excuse to make male actors get intimate with one another. They throw in a terrible plot, add some lighting, and then somehow the delusional fangirls screaming. this is not the kind of representation queer people deserve in media.
Good thing that I didn't listen to all the negative comments here. This is indeed a good series. I am watching…
to be honest, if no new BL series come out in thailand, i probably wouldn't complain about that. i'll be just fine watching lgbt shows from other countries where queer characters are used as more than just fanservice :) the film/drama industry is tough. if they make a bad drama and then only air it for two hours on their channel, they probably will not make a profit. you can appreciate it all you want, but that won't pay for all their production costs, unfortunately :( and i don't even mean this in a rude way, it's just the truth. this drama, overall, has not been well received by its audience.
First of all i want to say that i have enjoyed this series so far.Every couple seems to have only 2 epsidodes…
hi, yes i agree, representation is great! but i just wanted to let you know that saying "gays" is offensive since it reduces gay people down to there sexuality and dehumanizes them. saying "gay people" works though, like i just did! :))
the producers of this show had some nerve to call it a BL...this is just fanservice. wow, don't you just love it when queer people get reduced down to the cute objects of fans' sexual fantasies?
It's just fan service la... Don't expect good stories lol. You're gonna love it if you're watching for the sake…
"If you're into story, acting, production, this might not be a series for you." aka everything that makes up a show TT is this what BL has come to?? you're right, so far it's just been fan service, but why the hell did they have to waste a whole budget when they could've put the money towards an actual, good show and then done a bunch of fan service at a concert or something?? yikes...

yes, and there's nothing wrong with that, but keep in mind by saying that you like the censored adaptations of BL novels better than the novels themselves, you're supporting queer erasure and supporting the homophobic censorship laws in china. i get that you don't like romance, and i'm sure you didn't mean it this way, but saying that you don't want it to be "actual BL" is harmful because the LGBT community barely gets any representation in media. The only reason this show is a bromance is because of homophobia. We want it to be a BL so we can help normalize all sexualities and support young people of the LGBT community with people like them on tv. There are other bromance shows in china that are not censored adaptations. You could watch those.
Okay, so the first story is either rubbish because the whole series is going to be rubbish, or they are getting…
laughed out loud at this. you're right, i have zero idea how or why anything led to anything in these two episodes. i guess in the world of y-destiny, things happen just 'cause, under the excuse of "the runtime is too short." so, yes, it's only 2 eps, but i think it's sad that there isn't a coherent storyline. it's not that it suddenly felt rushed—it has to actually have a plot for that to happen. it's just that it was bad. i don't know how else to say it. but as you pointed out, even movies have elaborate stories or even multiple stories that could span decades. so why couldn't the y-destiny production team figure it out? and why is the acting so sub-par? oh, well. here's to hoping the later episodes will be better.
you caught me lol, not sure why it's a big deal especially since where I live 18 means you're an adult anyway
i know about the age differences, i think i was just being dumb, lol sorry about that!! for some reason i thought that when they said 18, they were talking about international age, im not sure why. also the fact that he's in his 17 year old body makes it even more disturbing that aerin liked him...that's pedophilia. at least dajung only saw him as a kid when she didn't know he was daeyoung
