DISGUSTING IN EVERY WAY

TRIGGER WARNING!!!

This series is horribly repulsive. HiStory is known for making good compelling stories so this was shocking to say the least.

The younger brother rapes his older brother. It's sickening and psychopathic. There is nothing romantic about it. Not only does he plan the rape, he shows zero remorse and even recorded it. Claiming his older brother as his. Worse than all of this is the non-reaction. Ye Xing Si just accepts in and is forced to reconcile the relationship with his brother, when the brother feigns a suicide attempt. It's wholly gross and not in the least bit entertaining.

The second couple, aren't as toxic or disturbing but cheap and insulting. Li Cheng pretends to be gay and in love with his friend Muren to get the attention of a childhood crush. However, when Muren is drugged and he watches him masturbate he starts to have feelings for him??? What an earth is this show? From that moment on he has romantic feelings for his best friend and wants to be with him.

It's not as morally repugnant but it's equally as disappointing.

There isn't a single redeeming quality about this series. The acting and chemistry between the cast is even lack luster. It's weak and cringeworthy at parts. It's like 4 actors were hired by 4 different casting agents and thrown scripts at.

I wish I could give it a 0 and I'm shocked anyone is enjoying. Non-consensual skinship must be the only factor that has people rating it so high. It's a shame that's all it takes to make people think a BL is good.

HiStory 4 misses the mark by 100000000000000%. Awful.
