It depends on whom you consider the primary couple and how you would define BL.There is Love/Vier that seems to…
Yeah. That is one thing as a BL fan I can't stand. I much rather there be two gay characters. The two straight characters is super unrealistic and overdone.
I have no resistance in the changing cliches. It's just shows where it is no longer true BL or there is a bigger message like this one. At first I was super resistant to this kind of stuff.
There are now a bunch of gay men watching these shows. There are even a handful of lesbians who watch them so who said transgenders and all other people of LGBTQ+ are not watching! The genre has to evolve because now the audience consists of more than like you said fujoshis. They have to respect all people and including their real perspectives is a form of respect and gets higher viewership/ loyalty.
It's a great change. But it's a little sad. It's for me like when BTS got popular in the U.S. all the sudden. As a Kpop fan that was so weird. And I rather not listen to BTS. I like a good amount of their songs. They always come on. I end up hearing them anyways. It's something better, but it reminds you of what you lost.
However in BL's situation there are tons of messed up stereotypes. The effeminate characters thing is also a huge issue. So the change is not sad in that respect, but it feels the same as BTS in the U.S. for fans like me.
And on the selfish side also. It's not about me anymore. That is not even my main reason for resistance, but it's ignorant on my part to not acknowledge that fact... Not about me. It's about the underprivileged and marginalized. Hard to accept.
I didn't think my reply was gonna be longer than yours. Lol. I must have too many emotions because this is not as well put together as yours! I can't express myself concisely.

Wow. That was really so deep and insightful. You definitely thought a lot!
The "BL" genre is changing so much and branching off into something I can't recognize. Fangirls like me who are not part of the LGBTQ+ community can feel hesitant to these changes but really we should open our eyes and see the beauty in different types of dramas not just classic BL.
So strange.. my mind says no. My body says no.. But then I think a little bit more and realize how much of a positive thing this is. I am such a big ally and love any of these types of messages, but my little world that I'm used to is changing so fast. I can't live in a bubble anymore. My God.

So. No BL. I have a friend watching this. And he only has one episode left so he's about to spoil it for me anyways. If the girls turn back into girls than this is just essentially those Kdramas where the girl dresses as a guy. It's exactly the same.
As a gay person myself, my relationships have been more similar to TharnType, well without one of us being a homophobe…
That's pretty funny. I guess us who didn't care for PeteKao's rough relationship in Kiss Me Again prefer this much softer one. I have a BL buddy too! And he likes the series just like me. Hahah. We are opposites.

Yeah. I get it. Funny thing for me though is I am not a TayNew fan. I wasn't excited for DBK at all. After I saw the trailer of DBK, I was so impressed and so far the show is as impressive as the trailer. ((: ~Happy Watching though!!!
Yes, I agree! Honestly, I think it's my second favorite series for 2019 (at least so far), just after He's Coming…
I don't wanna blow up and be mean. But all these negative comments are starting to make me mad because I love this series so much. I don't know what number it gets though. I love most every series so much right now. Make Our Days Count and TharnType are slaying me right now too.

Everything you're saying is right. But I feel like we can imagine. Seeing them be cute without intimacy is enough for me. I also disagree with the "baiting" part because I love this series. It's only baiting if they give us no TayNew/ PeteKao. And I am loving every second.

I very much understand your point. In relationships sex and intimacy is not just normal but almost required to make a fulfilling relationship. Celibacy exists and to those people to each their own, but most people are not like that.
Despite me agreeing with your comment though, I actually LOVE this series and wouldn't change it for the world. I think I'd be okay if Pete and Kao didn't even kiss once because they are already an established relationship. We know they do it anyways. I just love watching two boys fall in love with each other and for PeteKao watch them stay in love.
And I'm sure you get it now that I am a straight girl imposing on this conversation. Hope it is okay.
It's funny how people are complaining about PeteKao being boring to watch, that their relationship in this series…
Yessss!!! Voice your opinion. I agree with you 100%. This is spot on. I am not originally a TayNew fan and didn't expect anything from this series UNTIL I saw the trailer.
Since then my wig was snatched and it remains missing. Whenever I see the love between PeteKao, my heart is warmed. Pete needs to learn from his mistakes and grow, but seeing how Kao is still so caring of Pete despite Pete's actions shows how real love is difficult! And there are times when one party is giving more than the other. I love PeteKao so much and would watch their story forever if the director continued to write this well. I enjoy the story of these two who truly love each other.
I actually enjoy SunMork and PeteKao equally..
Can you believe that?! I feel like most people can't say that..
I DO NOT understand the boring comments. This drama is AWESOME and is going down as one of my favorites. But nothing can beat Crossing the Line and Addicted or even Sotus (too original)<333.

To each his own but strongly disagree. LOL.
