this is underrated. chilling story. watch it in 1 or 2 sittings. yes, they should cut it into a movie or 4 episodes, not 8. but if you like something different to most BL and a twisted crime/gangster trope, watch it. the ending isn't open for the main cp, so you can enjoy the love story :)
It's better than a 6.5. at least a 7.5. it's really not bad. treat it as a movie where things are rushed and characters not explained, where the viewers must fill in the gaps.

for me, I don't care about physical cheating , only emotional. so they kissed once besides their training and filming. it's a drama, it's supposed to be morally borderline.

we don't know yet. it's possible there was no penetration. your comment implies they did it several times. only once so far.

it was about the entertainment industry and them being gay and then fighting to finish their production. it wasn't super deep but I didn't expect it. a bit like sparkle in your eyes.

in some countries it's available on gagaoolala, too.

oh there's pressure to be thin for the costume dramas and it's difficult to find a middle way if the idols grew up dieting in fear of gaining weight.

it's not cheating if it's part of the job.

was my first thought, too. let's see...

but in the series it looks very much like penetration. watch the after credits bonus scene.

and these are Asian guys, they are statistically much smaller 😉

well, im talking about my experience, so 😅 never had issues

when you're relaxed and with lube it's not necessarily painful, even at the first time and alcohol makes you numb.

all these hard first time penetrations in BL without prep and between 2 beginners so soon after their first kiss are very unrealistic. so, let's assume he was so relaxed and they had some sort of lube that it didn't hurt him at all. and alcohol is a pain killer, too.

What I like about Chinese BL is they aren't shallow. the dialogues were really interesting and touching. even so this was very low budget and their chemistry was more platonic than physical, I liked the script and the actors. kissing scenes were bad as in any mediocre c-drama but overall acting was nice. now, because Chinese actors get shadow banned as actors when their BL becomes popular, I get why they didn't promote it.

fork! so so good. the tension between them and even the drama they're filming and their overall acting is captivating. and don't stop when the credits roll! there's an additional scene at the end! fast forward to watch it.

but 2 Asians falling in love at a catholic boarding school and one is a rebellious newcomer, is quite unique. I don't see why it's not inspired by the Taiwanese movie.

but so far so many parallels.

what story is it based on?

is this the gmmtv version of your name engraved herein?

love her and love the character she plays. was that character written for her? it fits so well. but his character starts to lag. he appeared more complex and emotional in the beginning.
