I'm not judging your research ability, just curious how did you come to the conclusion they're both the same series…
I see I see
On the website version of MDL, there's a section under synopsis called related content or titles (old name)
- Compilation (different entries or cut or versions in the same franchise or series - this label is confusing ngl) - *country* adaptation (different adaptations of the same source material) - *country* remake (remake of an original series that doesn't have a written source material) - prequel/sequel/side story - seasons or special eps
I am unable to read Japanese, so before I begin watching this series, could someone please confirm the correct…
I'm not judging your research ability, just curious how did you come to the conclusion they're both the same series when 1. the description says adapted from their respective mangas 2. different manga authors 3. different actors and character names 4. the plots and settings are wildly different from one another - A Man Who Defies the World of BL is about a straight man who ended up in the BL world where everyone and anyone could be gay, he was pursued left and right. Even almost "turned" gay himself at times
I Became the Main Role of a BL Drama is exactly as what the title entails
FYI for those haven't been following, this is not the first nor last Chinese BL that have been coming out lately
Do these titles ring any bell
- Stay with Me ("bromance" ver. of Addicted) - Meet You at the Blossom (co-production with Thailand and Taiwan) - Blue Canvas of Youthful Days (banned on IQIYI but later released on gaga and Viki) - I'll Turn Back This Time (the leads were in Meet You at the Blossom) - Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island - The Sparkle in Your Eye ("Singaporean" BL but the cast is all mainland) - same production as Blue Canvas they even namedropped the show - Infidelity, It's a Disease ("Japanese" prod but it's mainland actors) - Trapped in Osaka (same as the above)
The Sparkle in Your Eye and Trapped in Osaka currently airing
censored titles that got banned but managed to air - The Spirealm - banned on IQIYI as soon as it went up since Chinese fans managed to rip all the eps in time, got fansubbed, later re-released on Viu and Viki - Justice in the Dark (airing in Japan rn after banned on Youku in 2023)
also i don't get it? how can it be from china? i thought BLs and even bromance was banned?sorry for my ignorance…

1. the description says adapted from their respective mangas
2. different manga authors
3. different actors and character names
4. the plots and settings are wildly different from one another -

I Became the Main Role of a BL Drama is exactly as what the title entails
is it because they both have "BL" in the titles
GagaOOLala and IQIYI
I suspended rating bombing, this jump all the sudden is not natural
