FKA REY

In MOR, it was an obvious happy ending.

1 week left and I can finally binge watch it! I hope it won't have a sad ending!

just watch it, it's really really good

"I'd never hurt you." Well, you r*ped him once week ago...

Maybe you’ve already seen it, but if you’re interested in a historical BL, I highly recommend the excellent To Sir, With Love (on YouTube). It’s not really a standard series but a lakorn. It can be a bit over the top, especially in the acting, but that’s part of the genre. In short, it’s a must-watch.

Right now ? Khemjira I guess. I like I'm the most beautiful count and Shine too. 10 things i wanna do before i turn 40 and My bias is showing are not bad.

i'm french. Rati's french is very bad, he's the worst about that in this series.

i'm french and it's a big NO

i really found it boring boring.

It depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a light love story, you’ll enjoy it. If you want some depth and a bit of historical realism, this isn’t the place.

no, it gets worse.

Good that you kind of enjoyed it, but I can’t let you say it’s period accurate. The plot could be completely transposed to 2025 in a homophobic environment. It’s really not realistic for 1915.

You can't ask a psychopath to act normaly, and Hua Yong is clearly one.

I am french. And it's a big NO.

It depends on what you’re looking for. If you want a light little love story, you’ve come to the right place. If you want a series with some historical realism, better skip this one.

That’s a very good question. I admit I was a bit naive. When I saw that the story was going to reverse the roles and that the submissive would actually become the dominant, it intrigued me. But you’re right, a rape scene filmed like that in this kind of series, I should have expected it.

Personally, I think that playing soft background music during a rape scene and having the guy say things like 'oh, you wore pretty underwear for me?' isn’t exactly what I’d call denouncing sexual violence. And the way it’s filmed too: close-up on the underwear as he takes it off, with an almost slow-motion effect...

Don’t come at me about Irresistible Love. I hated the novel, which romanticizes sexual violence and portrays relationships between men in a negative way. The movies, however, completely go against the novel. Xie Yan is much less problematic (to put it mildly), and so is Ke Luo. I suggest you read the review I wrote before making comments. I think not liking the romanticization of sexual violence is normal. It’s never romantized in the MOVIES of Irresistible Love. It is in the NOVEL, but as I just said, I hated it.

Well, it looks like I’m not the only one shocked that they romanticized a rape scene. That’s a bit reassuring.

So quantity > quality. Got it!
