I'm on my knees praying! ;P

Okay, now it's official: I like the new Tin/Can story better than the old one. The old one was hotter, because of the tension between those two. And there was tension, because Tin was this alpha male, very arrogant, cold, and he forced himself on Can to the very end. And since Addicted/Heroin we all know that a guy who forces himself on another guy is hot (no judgement, I love Addicted). Even in their last great kiss scene in season 1 Can looked like he wanted to run away. He was a child who didn't understand love and Tin didn't give him time to understand it. It didn't bother me, it's fiction after all. But I must say that the new storyline is more enjoyable and I'm excited about what's to come. They seem to start on similar ground. Tin isn't as forceful and Can doesn't look so miserable (and he did in season 1, he really did). They feel closer, mostly because Tin comes across softer and Can shows some interest in Tin. Mean's acting is great as always, and Plan is exaggerating as always. Just give it a chance and forget about season 1.

I have no expectations when it comes to BL. I got disappointed too often *cough* 2gether *cough* I just enjoy what I get at this point. But I understand if people don't like ACTL. They made some really strange writing choices.

For me it's a nightmare. The site doesn't allow using an Ad-Blocker (of course!). Pop-up windows and dead links everywhere. I could use the site just fine a year ago, but now? Strange ...

There are only 6 (I think) episodes in Eng Sub, the other ones have only Spanish subs :(

What's with Gcinee happening? I lately was on the site because I wanted to watch "Comet, I love you" which is hard to find, but there are only ads and the links are dead. I had to check my laptop for viruses afterwards. Crazy ...

Same here. I'm not crazy about it and Plan's over-acting is annoying, but the chemistry is there, which is great. I didn't feel much chemistry in their other works ReminderS and 2Wish, so I'm happy that at least the chemistry is back.

I will get lots of hate for it, but honestly, LBC was shit. Pete/Ae was cheesy/cringy, the other couples were both rather toxic and questionable. Watching Tin/Can I felt like watching an adult having a relationship with a child. Still their chemistry, their dynamics and their looks (I'm not gonna lie) made up for it. The author is not my favorite to say it in a polite way. And the director isn't either. So I'm surprised that everyone behaves like season one was the best thing ever. Even the highest rated reviews on MDL aren't your typical 10s for LBC. It was mediocre at best.

I have read parts of "Addicted/Heroin" and thought this is a joke. It took me awhile to understand that I really read the original. I thought it was something made up by fans. I read "Yandaixie Street No. 10" - and I still can't believe how shitty it was. I also read the steamy parts of "Untamed" which they censored in the series and those sex scenes! LMAO Can't believe people like this. They were soooo badly written. And those names they have for male parts ... Maybe the bad translation is to blame, but seriously ... I felt like the author had no idea of (anal) sex. It really reminded me of those stories 15 years old virgins (girls) are writing. Like he was penetrating him for an hour (!!) and the other guy is begging for mercy. Jesus.

"They need to throw out all the fanfic authors who churning out this dreck and get some real writers." LMAO I said that for years and always got a lot of hate for it. The so called "novels" those stories are based on are nothing else than badly written fanfictions and it still amazes me to this day how this kind of "literature" gets even released as a series.

I wonder. Maybe because 99,9% of all those couple are reduced by the author to top and bottom? In fact I only can think of the couple in Boundary Crossing where this wasn't the case.

Tell that those BL authors and not me.

I'm confused about who is top and who is bottom and I LOVE IT! But yeah, I guess they will fall back to the typical roles sooner or later. That Kao guy is something else though ...

I feel it's the opposite. I have no issue with Mean. He still gets me with his intense stares. But Plan is over-acting. It's not cute.

There is no need to warn people about this. It's natural seeing animals killing other animals. We are living in an over-sensitive society who has forgotten how nature works.

Unpopular opinion, I know, but I must admit I like the new Tin character. I feel they look closer. In LBC I liked their dynamics and their chemistry, but their story/relationship was a bit problematic. There was a lot of tension between them and it always seemed (until the very end) that Tin was forcing Can. I don't know where their relationship in ACTL is going, but if it is more loving, I'm not against it. The only thing that annoys me is Plan's over-acting and his bangs. But Tin being softer and well, more sad, it's not that bad.

I guess you have never seen a cat playing with a mouse ... Such comments are proof that people have lost any connection to nature.

I don't like how they milk those BL couple. We had LBC Tin/Can, ReminderS, then 2Wish, some music videos etc. People like them, want to see them, and so the writers/producers don't bother telling a good story. I could never get into the 2Wish couple. I know many people didn't like Together With Me Next Chapter, but I always felt they tried to connect the prequels Bad Romance and Together With Me and did a rather good job. At least they tried something different, they tried telling a story! Now Max&Tul have a new project that will hopefully not disappoint. Tin&Can on the other hand get a reboot? It's so obvious that the story of a couple is not important, this is just about looks and chemistry. The same with Pete/Kao, where they changed Kao's character in every series just to be able to write a (cliche) BL story around the two beloved characters. I wonder what they will do with Team/Win. Again a very charismatic and good-looking couple, but their story in UWMA was paper-thin. There wasn't even a story. I watched their scenes several times and still didn't understand anything about their relationship, though I compliment Boun for saying those cheesy lines with a straight face. Well, back to ACTL: I don't dislike it. It's just tiring. The older you get, the more shallow those series appear. They are digging so deep in the whole "genre" that I feel we just get "copy and paste"-content. LITERALLY in Tin/Can's case, where the story gets retold.

I'm honestly confused why people are soo into this. The guys are gorgeous. I love Wang Yibo and Xiao Zhan. I LOOOOOOVE them. Really, really gorgeous, sweet, talented (especially Yibo, he could make a living with this dancing skills alone, a natural talent), but this story is just meh. After I read the novel I'm a bit disgusted. The manga/manhua adaption is also disappointing. The art work is horrible. So cliche. The whole love story is typical for Chinese BL. It's about rape and aggressive/obsessive top and weak bottom (I'm talking about the novel). It reminds me a lot of Addicted/Heroin. It's terrible written too. Those sex scenes! Jesus Christ! The last time I read something this bad was 15 years ago when I got interested in BL fanfiction. That those badly written, pornographic fan fictions are getting a series is funny. I cannot imagine something like this happening in the Western world. I have read better German and English fanfictions that of course never made it to the big screen. Talking about the series: the characters are much better than in the novel, but the love seems rather one-sided to me. I rated it with a solid 9, because there was some greatness to be found, but seriously ... it's not the best thing ever. I lately wonder about Chinese mentality, about their crazy toxic fan culture, about the reason why a BL story gets that popular. What's happening in the minds of young Chinese women? It's a bit concerning. How they brought down Xiao Zhan and it wasn't even his fault. All because of some pornography ... Jesus. Really concerning. I'm a BL lover too, for 20 years now, but I never was that crazy.

I think 7,5 would be appropriate even though I rated it lower
