Please tell me what SMY and BHH stand for?

In Thailand, Korea, China, even in Japan fan service is not a scam. Most is done while promoting a series and is playful and harmless. It is well known in these countries what fan services is. It is true that sometimes fans are plain silly and fell for it. In Korea think of K Pop, I never follow BTS but I understand Junkook is paired with V - famous Taekook, but others imagine Junkook is with Jimin irl, and those two shipper groups got to war about it. It is shocking . XuJin is lovely, I don't know what they are and honestly we should not care. It is their lives. I see them as my favourite comedy duo. Here in UK there have been famous comedy duos that have last for decades performing. They are funny, sweet, with a tremendous chemistry, so kind to each other. It does warm my heart. Which benefit would be for me to know they are a gay couple? none, on the contrary, because it would mean they will stop performing together. So why to push them to stop? Fan/followers should be caring towards the people they admire. You say is actors and agencies responsibility that this fans fell for it. In a way they are, but they trust that most of the followers are discerning people. There is a BL Thai blogger that says it very well: " I am the fan they are serving, fake or not, I don't care, I love it". Here you are not all shippers are blind.

Indeed. Very well said.

indeed Y, there is a lot we dont know. I like your reasoning that he sacrified too much for this kingdom to not care or not even try. the other big question is what happens to the Prime Minister?

Indeed. Xu went to jin hotel when he was not there. Then went to set wait for him. They left together by 2 am when jin finished working both entered to the hotel but xu left to his hotel. They were so tired. I wonder if Xu would have rest there if not not for those people filming. In any case, my chinese friend who lives in China always tell me everything done when somebody is filming is considered fan service there. Real couples in the industry hide. XuJin both lives in Beijing so if they are real they will date without cameras. They used to do this before Kill to Love was released.

There have been quite a few outrageous re-telling of narratives at this level. I am trying to remember one totally scandalous. It was a k-drama that should have been a BL. When I remember I will mention it to you.

He is indeed!!!

Very interesting and valid points here River. The only that I would say is that ZiAng was regarded as a good Emperor, one with the vision. Being cruel and a conqueror do not grant anybody that positive reputation. Even ShuHe recongnised ZiAng qualities as Emperor.

Great analysis Yerisina, as usual. The first thing ShuHe did as King was grant a general amnesty, but to whom? People were discontent, is what ZiAng said, it takes a long time for people to build that dissatisfaction. Was he never really accepted as King for the way he reached the throne? maybe because he did not want war with the North? The draught was happening, if he was a compassionate King would he not take measures to provide relief as ZiAng later did? I think he governed half-heartedly; he moved with the motions. He looks quite depressed as well, so probably did not invest the best of his intellect and energy to that project.

It is great. He published it it Weibo a week ago. Genius!

He does

Another nice thought for your Rainbows: ZheXu went to MiJin hotel 😊

Exactly like that

XuJin are doing fan service Rainbows - Fan service is define as: A type of performance to entertain and sustain fan interest — just like actors doing a romantic scene in a movie. It’s part of marketing and fan engagement, not proof of a real romantic relationship. A shipper should know this.
I do agree with you that there is something "different" about them. However, this could also be because Zhe Xu and Mi Jin are very candid, and their characters are naturally relax and playful. They are also very dedicated to each other. It does not necessarily mean that they are a couple of gay men.

Thank you for your wisdom River. 1) an actor "cannot be" gay in China (even if he is in real life) 2) They were saying Jin Jin was drunk, does people understand what does mean in China?

Iconic, we finally got it!!!

Which language do you speak? I speak and write in 4 languages. Maybe is one that I know. There are far too many assumptions in what you are saying 1) That somebody limping is because he had s*x!?, people limp for all sort of reasons 2) Xu was fine, so we are assuming Jin was limping because a "role" he plays in that relationship. Why? The fact that he perform that "role" in fiction does not mean he has that role in reality. Do you remember the Thai BL CPs? Famous case Seng was the CP of Billy, he was in the "receiver" position, the next thing we know is that he was dating Freen, from a GL CP! He was straight as a broom!

It has nothing to do whether they are real or not!! This have to do with respect! Would you like that when you leave your house your neighbors start talking that you must have had a "rough night" with your husband and publish this in social media!? I would hate that for myself and I am a feminist and a LGBTQ+ ally since my early teens. This is just gossips, horny people out there giving an opinion about the private life of people. I can tolerate a bit of naughtiness, not problem, fans are just having fun, but pointed out that Jin Jin, who was so exhausted, it was so because he has too much of the "good stuff", at more than just one level, it does risk their reputation for sure.

Have you not see them? It says that Jin Jin was walking funny because he had s*x with Xu, and they say it bluntly and more awful things too (related to this and also that he was drunk!?). I don't want to link them because I don't want to promote them here. Look for it in X.

It is after a post by Boho, 7 hours ago. I don't think I can tag you, otherwise I will do.
