Most likely to protect the series and actors from Chinaโs censorship laws.
yes :( (well the government, laws and their toxic af fans. not every chinese citizen). but hopefully things will change some day, when they keep making BL dramas around the corner which reach such big popularity despite everything.
why did they dub this into thai language when I first watched it it was in chinese language..
it's published for chinese speaking audience sand thai at the same time (two versions), because it was produced by a thai company despite it being chinese with most chinese crew and cast.

You make it sound like the actors are not on board with this. They are totally aware of the risk and protection strategies (the risk is less or no further jobs in the chinese film industry). The production company is Thai that's why MDL decided to list it as Thai (but actually it is a chinese, taiwan, thai collab). Which is indeed a strategy of basically all current Chinese BL producers to get around censorship to make BL in the first place. But yes it is very sad and horrifying that the actors don't get much protection in their own country... but there is more harm from crazy fans rather than the government. (but to be fair that dangerous development with Revenged Love was unexpected... it worked fine till then..........)
WELL Now it seems Revenged really got the floodgates open for Chinese BLs! ๐
Why is everyone always dismissing "Meet you at the Blossom" as THE first uncensored Chinese BL after the ban, already in 2024 ๐ It's Chinese even tho it says Thai in the production country, because they do it like every other Chinese BL production. They worked with other countries producers and crew to sneak around the censoring (but actors, script, director are chinese). They did that first. But I think there were even some earlier ones, more hidden with indie companies on small streaming platforms and youtube.
Totally Agree, the only reason that kept me going is the Chemistry and Romance between FL actors.My First GL was…
yea but only if t's in a kink setting. they are not roleplaying they just act cute as many women do. that's a difference. i mean in some GL/BL they do have such elements (The Boy Next World), but not every character or real life woman who is bit childish and cutesy is into age play.
True and it's not just Thai GL but majority of Thai BL too...There are like only 2-3 GL I have found that I liked…
Try Affair the Series, it's also mature GL (they start as teens but grow up later). Then there is also Petrichor (crime) and Runaway (Horror). Actually Runaway is like Khemjira just in lesbian.
I just realized that I've watched the ''cut'' version all this time and probably all of us too... uncut version…
how long exactly is episode 3? i need to check if i watched the uncut ๐ because where i watched it said uncut the whole time till episode 3 then the title got changed and I am pretty sure the NC scene is longer in the trailer than what I saw so I am not sure...
Many of us who have perfectly fine, well-used brains just don't care as much about labels as some others.
this is less about a lable / genre but some BL fans think that every gay themed asian production has to follow the cookie cutter BL concept. which is a bit insane to believe that every m/m story in this world, but especially asian, has to have BL fans as target audience instead of queer people who are interested in stuff outside the fantasy romance genre.
I'm sorry but how's it bromance? They flirted with each other, went on dates, kissed and even had sex. So how's…
That's not what I mean, I just listed it to my main point again as well. What I mean is you are looking only for romantic gestures and loud glaring attraction as prove of love, which is not how every couple interacts. These two are more subtle and reluctant due to their jobs and situation.

Yall really need to unwrap your weird views on love and intimacy. There are more version than just that one classic BL love story formula. People can even be in love without ever kissing or sex. People can be in love without being super sappy romantic or touchy with each other as well.
another series showed that mdl users prefer straight forward plots, anything need involved brain cells, the rating…
it's really concerning... but on the other side I know so many who stay away from the comment section and ratings, who do appreciate more complex stories even with bit less budget than the big mainstream players
