Even though Tanai may get a little too grabby, I feel so bad for him! He's in love with Runaway but Runaway doesn't like him in that way back :(. Guide seems to like both Tanai and Runaway, but seems to have mentioned threw innuendo that he knows Runaway, again, doesn't feel that way in return. Ugh, Runaway, you are surrounded by good-looking, caring guys who like you, INCLUDING Dream boy who you shun.... for now ;). And guide's older brother Good kissing male Elle hahaha! That's what you get for kissing a sleeping person! :P nah I thought I was really cute :). Man, to be honest I would like to see Tanai and Runaway together, but then Dream boy and Guide are left without someone so Dream and Runaway are best suited in that situation lol, he's the only one that can interact with him so far! Maybe make Dream boy real somehow? And I really like Guide so I don't want him to be alone, especially since it looks like his GF/ex GF is cheating on him.
Initially I felt the same, but I think Mamose was attracted to Yoshiro. It was more like discovering and accepting…
Eh me too, I get carried away sometimes haha. I don't try to attack or offend but I'm sure I sometimes do :/. I'm still waiting for English subs for eps 14. In the mean time I'm about to watch the last aired episode of My Dream :)
No Korn! You were the pure gay in this BL!!! Knock cheated on his girlfriend with you, Bright cheated on Farm, Farm is probably cheating on Rit at this very moment... BUT NOT YOU KORN! You were so faithful! We all make mistakes, I know. But it just doesn't seem in his character to do such a thing, even drunk! With Knock, yeah sure, but not Korn!
That review was extremely homophobic and sadly that is still a reality we have to face. The supposedly pearl-clutching…
LMAO! IKR!? I'm a gay guy and if this series had decided to have a love scene between Pond and ChaAm, would I then jump to my soap box and shout "NAY! NAY I SAY!" Lol we get straight love scenes ALL THE TIME in mainstream films and TV. I think this series did well and I'll continue to enjoy it when I next watch it again! :D
The veteran actor also had a younger girlfriend...also more than pushing the age-gap narrative, showing two quite…
Thank you for your detailed reply! Yeah I do sometimes feel alone in my opinion. I'm not trying to pass judgment or cause hurt.
The situation can always be exploited and that's what some people, in their quest to be ever "tolerant", sometimes forget. Its not that ALL older people who seek younger partners are predators, but the situation is often primed for the abuse, especially in the gay community.
I try to be open-minded and nuanced, but yes some people think that what I say is coming from a prejudice I have. Its hard to explain yourself to someone who's often already made up their mind haha.
I wish I could be more detailed in my reply but I'm just about to go to bed lol. I haven't been on here in a bit so I had to catch up haha.
I know, at first I thought it would be Bright that would be the problem, but he has seemed to have changed for…
Rit is definitely suspicious, but he's a good person and wanted to respect Farm's privacy and trust him. Yeah, we can only hope that no matter what happens, that it turns out well for innocent Rit in the end.
Generally, BL isn't even that good tbh. Love By Chance is fine since it doesn't really attempt drama or any sort…
Yeah I like how LBC gets into the relationship earlier on in the series, it made it so much more enjoyable :) The one's that REALLY drive me crazy are the ones that wait until the VERY END, or close to it, to actually spring the confession and so on lol.
History series are AMAZING! My favorite is Crossing Boundaries, then Obsession, then Stay Away from Me, and then My Hero. I like My Hero, I think so many people are either confused by it or don't like the body-swapping plot but it still ends as a true BL and I thought it was pretty funny. I didn't watch Right or Wrong because I don't care for age-gaps and I heard it had a sad ending anyways, lol don't care for those either. If an age-gap relationship is legal by law, I don't think it immoral. But it would be as interesting to me as a typical straight relationship would be. And being gay, I'm a little bias haha!
I loved, then hated Dark Blue and Moonlight mainly because I cannot STAND the main protagonist. He's not only a cheater, he's rude, condescending, hurtful and dishonest with his AMAZINGLY loyal, kind, gentle boyfriend. It was heartbreaking. Yeah China, South Korea and sometimes Taiwan (because they are Chinese ethnically :P) are the France of Asia when it comes to sad dramas. No happy ending for you!!! lol.
Honestly, even though my current and last boyfriend is South East Asian, I forget that they often look a lot younger than they actually are so sometimes it looks like a 35+ with a 15-17 y/o and it makes my skin crawl. I forgive most cliches in BL because they are usually minor things, and call me shallow, seeing a young guy with someone who looks like his father just don't interest me. Give me 2 young guys, 2 middle-aged guys, hell even 2 elders would be adorable! I guess peerage means a lot to me because seniority gives people power over juniors, ESPECIALLY in most Asian cultures. That's not an equal relationship.
Yeah South Korean films have too much rape but usually the guys survive in the end, but not always. My favorite South Korean BLs is Long Time No See and Night Flight. Chinese often kill, disfigure or break up the couples in the end. A few good Chinese BLs have slipped threw the cracks but most are heavily censored.
See I like a balance, I don't mind sex/love scenes. If done well, they can be one of the better parts of a BL. But during those scenes I'm usually like "awww thats adorable!". Not getting all hot and bothered haha! Hey I don't judge those that do but I watch BL to lighten the mood and lift my heart up. Probably why I don't like sad endings lol.
But yes, the way US depicts gays is typically not done well. They make gays often seem TOO sexualized to the point of being stupid haha. I think Asia/Europe/South America does a MUCH better job. Because in those BLs, gays blend in and seem like normal people. Now I don't disparage any free-spirit with flamboyance about them haha, but they are a minority in the community and yet over-represented in order to mock which isn't fair to them or the rest of us.
That review was extremely homophobic and sadly that is still a reality we have to face. The supposedly pearl-clutching…
Hey Pedro :), yeah I agree that they didn't even really give it a chance with a rating like that! Lol I admit I did kinda type-angry but man it set me ablaze lol.
I understand that some people think that by distancing the LGBT community from sex in media that somehow removes a stereotype about homosexual promiscuity, while not realizing that in so doing they are cutting the LGBT community out from a major part of human life and relationships. Lol perhaps I look too much into it, but I like the mental exercise :).
Best BL series I've ever watched! But I need to vent;
Reviewers rating 1, but obviously derived some enjoyment from it, are bitter film snobs who are obviously too busy smelling their own farts to realize a 1 means you HATED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT and not "I had a few disagreements with it". Even films I hate, I still give it a fair score. You know what, you 1/10s are lazy, didn't even take the time to properly and OBJECTIVELY evaluate the scoring. I'm sure you are nice people, but I'm arguing here.
People complaining about how this series stereotypes LGBT people with all the gratuitous love scenes are full of it. I liked this series, and as a gay guy myself I'm sick of the virtue signalling about the "promiscuity" in this series. That's what right wingers do, bitch about sex. I guess we have a bunch of right-winger BL fans lol, well I guess that's progress. More or less, they are probably misguided SJWs who think sex somehow "objectifies" someone even if its consensual. Stop trying to make sex a crime or social taboo like religious zealots have done and continue to push, liberalism isn't a cult.
And yeah I'm also upset there won't be a season 2, so yeah I'm a little mad.
uhhhhhh I want kill Farm.... WTH he is doing, poor Rit,
I know, at first I thought it would be Bright that would be the problem, but he has seemed to have changed for the better. Farm has changed for the worst, he's not the innocent bunny anymore :(. And I agree, poor Rit! He's so sweet, he deserves better than to be an unwitting pawn in Farm's revenge scheme.
Pete was cupid in this episode! I love seeing Tin smile! He and Can are so adorable together and that boy needs someone like Can in his life, such a beautiful episode!!! We got a little bit of all the couples in this one, definitely one of my favorite episodes out of my favorite series!
Man, hoping to watch ep 12 on Friday, busy on weekends. Ugh I hate weekends. Weird the engsubs aren't done, they've been pretty good about that usually.
I hope this and Trap ACTUALLY has 20 ep, that would be awesome! Series are too damn short! Here in the US most series have multiple season and each season has usually 15 episodes, except things like Game of Thrones. But then again GOT has SEVERAL seasons lol.
Man, why BL / BL side stories either have to involve rape or age-gap?! I seriously don't think an old person macking on a teen/young adult is attractive, it also makes sense why so many people think us gays are perverts even if most of us date within our own peerage. Japanese need to make a BL, or series with BL, where the boys/guys/men are roughly the same age, no rape is involved and they have a happy ending, you know like what the Thai do most of the time. Blah I'm salty because now I gotta look for something else to watch while I'm waiting for english subs for Love By Chance. Between Chinese censorship, South Korean sad endings and Japanese rape montages... I'm glad we have Thai and Taiwanese BL.
Wish US would make better BL, but most of it is lame and campy or sad and depressing. And all of the guys have fur-faces, I hate facial hair lol. They have these great looking faces and yet they hide most of it behind prickly hair! Ugh I need to find something to watch lol.
Initially I felt the same, but I think Mamose was attracted to Yoshiro. It was more like discovering and accepting…
Agreed, i guess that's why I prefer series to films because they usually have a LOT more time to show more of the story, and I always enjoy longer versions of a good story :).

I heard No and Kla might be getting their very own spin-off!!! OMG I hope so!!!
LMAO oh ok I see what you are saying now. Yeah that WAS a pretty public place to do that haha! Could only imagine if someone walked in on them lol!
