Well, see, I have a feeling that the actors *don't* want to do fan service but have to because that's what keeps the fans interested, but I guess I don't have any proof of that, but I don't think anyone should feel guilty about it. It's not like you or I have any say in how the agencies promote their products.
I think I have mixed feelings about the pairings. When they work, like FirstKhao, it's great because you KNOW you're in for something good, but then it also takes away the "mystery" of who they'll end up with. But when they *don't* work but the pairing is maintained, well, that's not great.
Also, I meant to say about Playboyy (and also KinnPorsche, if you've seen that) that these series are about ADULTS. I mean, sure, university students are technically adults and we're going to get more serious/interesting story lines than series set in high school, but as an adult, THIS is what I want to see more of.
Ah, then you're ever newer to Asian BL series than I am! I think I started about 4-6 months ago, but yeah, have already been watching queer content for a long, LONG time.
I will agree that the BL fans can get a bit extreme, esp wanting the pairings to be real off-screen. These are actors doing jobs and while *some* of them might be queer, the truth is that probably most of them aren't, and that's fine. If they portray hot couples in the series, that's all I ask for. ð

Ooh, not sure I could have waited for the live KP eps! I'm glad I was able to binge them. ð And KP is only one of two BLs that I've rewatched so I understand your craziness!
I don't know if you read fanfiction, but I'm in the middle of writing a story pairing Vegas with Lian from Cutie Pie (the tall Hia played by Zee) so if you're interested, message me and I'll paste the link. ð
Yes! I'm relatively new to BL but I've seen enough and looked up enough to understand that, much like any content producer, there are enough different types of series that everyone will find something like they: fluffy dramedies, serious dramas, series with NC content, and series with SERIOUS NC content. I get that not everyone will want to watch this (good or bad) because of the explicit sexual content, but I agree that it should give us hope!

I came late to KP so the whole thing with Build had already come and gone so not really sure wtf happened there, but I'm *sure* they can find Bible someone to pair with (I understand his project "4 Minutes" is still going ahead).
Do you understand Thai? Because I also want to watch Man Suang but I haven't heard it's available with EN subs yet. I would watch Apo in anything!
I only learned about this series today from a comment in the Only Friends discussion, and THANK GOD I did!! This is EXACTLY what I want from my series!! ðĨðĨðĨðĨ

KP will forever remain one of my favorite BLs, for sure, but some of the plot lines could have used some tightening or editing! But yes, definitely up there for me! And my god, Kinn/Porsche steam up the screen and make even bread sexy!! ðĨðĨ

I mean, I started with KP so my expectations for smut in BL were already high and I've been somewhat disappointed since (though OF offered some heat here and there), but this???? This is what I'm HERE for! I mean, there are series with pair chemistry that leaps off the screen, but sometimes a girl just wants some porn-adjacent content. ðð

OMFG, you guys are the BEST!!!! This had not come onto my radar and now I am HOOKED!! This is like the best bits of KP times 1000!! ðĨðĨðĨðĨðĨðĨ
Also, the trailer I just watched had zero English subs but it didn't matter!!
Ah, the censored trailer has EN subs, but not the uncensored one. Good to know!
