I’ve hate-watched before. But this is more like Cringe-watch BL. It’s watching like two parked cars crashing into each other.

One other thing, there have been visual cues well prior to ep 12. Like, ep 8, after their big blowout when each discovered they were part of the same broken home, when the two male leads finally reconciled, they changed how they rode the bike in tandem. Arms now fully around the waist for the first time. There’s tons of little subtle clues

Honestly. that Will Bi line had the same impact on me as the legendary Ohm Nanon first kiss in Bad Buddy. Even though in this case, it was just a line of dialogue, it was so unexpected and joyful to hear those words. It brought what had been hinted at out into the open. That’s not brotherly love he’s expressing. It’s something else. I got that same king of spine tingling feeling of pure bliss.

Yup. It’s subtle compared to the other male lead character but the feelings are clearly mutual

Subtle but growing in intensity. Midway through the series one line of dialogue that pretty much sets its path as a Bl. Unlikely it will ever be overt but the evidence makes it unquestionably on the path of romance If you were satisfied with unspoken but obvious romantic love in the untamed, then this will do it for you. But I marked it spoiler in case you don’t really want to know

Yup. My words almost exactly when those words were said. I think I said ‘drop” to no one while sitting on a plane and got some looks. And Chinese speakers have even confirmed the translation based on other comments

You are smart It’s now officially agony for me to wait for the next batch of eps to drop, and I’m not usually like that with BLs because very few achieve this level of great. Do yourself a favor and avoid the comments if you can. I had very low expectations when I started watching. But not any more

The are doing such a good job building this relationship. We are really in Greatest of All Time territory as far as BLs go.

He also made that comment to himself in the hotel room not understanding a change that’s come over him. He really liked that girl last year, but something’s different

“He’s Mine”. That line should end the debate about whether this is BL or Bromance. I don’t think any BL drama has built a relationship with this much care and handling. What a treat this show is to watch.

Never mind. Just saw Mame in the credits.

Hey! Love in the Air everywhere. Even a Mame reference at the beginning. Did she adapt this or was that just an Easter egg

The jealously sequence in ep 4 I ( think) was all I needed to see. BL in for sure. A coded BL is just fine given the production value. We are not even a third of the way through and the main plot device has been resolved. There’s 17 half hour eps left for the coding to get more intense as the relationship builds.

I’m with you. Even if this ends up not even implying a spark of romance between the boys, it’s such a well done story, im happy with it. But If we get an untamed loving eye stare I’ll be super psyched. Do t need a kiss. To get lots out of this production.

Well said. I’ll take this story over a plotless Thai BL where obviously straight actors are giving each other a tongue bath to please the producer and go viral on YouTube. There’s plenty of soulless porn on the internet. Great BL is about story and characters. When you get great writing, directing and acting to bring those things to life, it’s magic. I think we are seeing that here even if I have to fill in the blanks because of co tent rules the team is forced to live by . I’m glad they are making this story

Untamed was one of the most romantic shows I’ve ever seen and these two characters seem to developing their relationship in a very sensuous way just through simple gestures. There are lots of terrible Thai BLs with lots of skinship where the leads look like they are lip smothering each other. But the story is empty. I’ll take this approach any day, where plot and character are so well developed and the physical aspects of the relationship are implied. This is a great story and I’m 100percent in.

Well said

I saw what you saw. And his jealousy in I believe ep 4. Wherever this is headed, it’s great. Really well done

It’s really good though. One of the best BLs that’s not a BL of the year unless it ends up being a BL but then it will still be one of the best. So can’t lose proposition.

Sorry. True that
