I can understand that shippers narrative but I think they assume too much. The probability of a man or woman being homosexual is pretty small. By their logic, all those actors playing in BL adaptation is secretly gay. I hate this kind of assumption. I think we should respecting each other. Respect goes both ways. If you insisted that nothing wrong of being homosexual, then it is also NOTHING WRONG of being heterosexual. It is not our business to care about anybody sexual preference.

Yeah, I see that they practically look for ANYTHING that can support their fantasy which is not healthy at all.

I see. I am pretty much fine with shipping of drama character. But I am always feel uncomfortable with real life shipping. Because actor and character are separate entity. And there are immature fans who bind actor to certain characters which are very detrimental to the actor future career.

Regarding The Untamed, I am not following the news so I am not privy of that. Well, that is just crazy ...... And honestly by what I have watching back then when the drama was airing (and that was not much), the interaction between Xiao Zhan and Wang Yi Bo was quite normal. Nothing really stand up in my opinion. I am not insinuating anything here. Just saying that people just hallucinated themselves too much sometimes.

Thankfully, there are lots of good BL novel in China for them to choose from. I don't understand why we should have a ML and FL??? Cannot we have like two FL or two ML?? Granted, there is such a scarce of good novel about friendship between women which sadden me. As if we cannot have a soulmate relationship with another woman. Woman should not be caged in romantic relationship only.

You are correct. But before that scandal happened, the solo and CP fandom already in fight with each other as far as I know. What kind of fighting, I don't know. I heard that people were angry that they brought internal fighting to "outside".

Hahahahahaha!!! Romance truly is overrated in drama. Why we cannot have a drama with nice friendship and soulmate? These days, I am getting fed up with all those romance genre because they are almost always have annoying FL (damsel in distress, entitled, stupid, etc .....). Is it too much to have a FL like Mu Ni Huang in Nirvana in Fire 1 or the kind like Gu Xiang in WoH (I love that character!!)???

As far as I know, the AO3 scandal is caused by the fight between solo fans and CP fans ......

Perhaps because both of them is around 30 years old already and have spent long time in the industry, so they are wiser regarding fans. Good for them. I hope what happened with The Untamed CP fandom never replicate itself in other pairing ever again.

I really hope that this kind of toxic culture of real life CP can died out in China in the wake of Xiao Zhan scandal back then. There is nothing good happens out of it. And I don't want this kind of thing make the actors that will play in BL drama adaptation in the future getting uncomfortable with their partner in the drama.

Honestly, I don't really like this part of culture that transfer the CP inside the drama into real life. I admit that BL CP is far more crazier though. I hate it when a friendship between two guys always annotated as them being gay. If they are, then it is their business. But if they are not, what the fandom does will only make both guys uncomfortable and make them distance themselves from each other. If even man and woman can be very uncomfortable with this real life CP fandom, I can only imagine for those BL actors if they are straight.

This is a weird time that we are currently live. Different gender cannot be casual friend without being taunted as romantic couple. And same gender cannot be close friend without being suspected as gay or lesbian. Does every love must be considered as romantic?

I am sorry if I am sounded annoying here. But, this kept happening with BL drama adaptation that I have watched. All I see is a casual and close interaction between friends but there are always people who hallucinate about love and secret gesture and so on. This is just crazy.

I am surprised by this kind of comment from you. Please be noted, that what you are currently doing is exactly the same as those annoying The Untamed fans have been doing in all over BL drama adaptation. And they have risen the ire from lots of people that are fans of other BL drama adaptation. You are practically bringing down Word of Honor in order to raise Killer and Healer. It is not that people here cannot respect different opinion, but your way of degrading Word of Honor will rub the people wrong. I think this page is quite good already in respecting each other (believe me I know, since I am very fresh from Douluo Continent fight between drama/actor fans vs original fans).

Yeah, I also don't think he is fit to be Wen Ke Xing. But his scorpion king is very good. Enjoy his acting very much. I am glad he can find the role that better suit him in this drama. I am a believer that gold will always shine. No matter how small your role in a drama, as long as you put your effort and heart into it, people will be able to see. I am certainly will take note of him in the future.

I think of trying this. But, from the clips that I have watched, the way the two male lead interacted is not my taste. Is it really good story wise?

Yeah. There also times when your soulmate is not your husband/wife. You don't have to become a homosexual when your soulmate is of the same gender. Because between soulmate, as the name states, it is not rooted in sexual attraction, but in soul resonance. A drama that tells about this kind of love, any sexual scene will be only an icing on the cake (for those who want to see that kind of scenes), but unneeded. Not to mention, not everyone like to watch those sexual scenes between the same gender.

In my opinion, your opponent actor/actress is very important in making you can act to your depth. In acting, both leads should feed each other so they can reach the highest potential together.

Perhaps, Zhang Zhe Han just clicked with Gong Jun and vice versa. Not to mention good script and director.

I checked Advance Bravely for Gong Jun. But his acting there is bad. And I cannot sense the chemistry. It is too cheesy and superficial.

Agreed!! I am now eating Wen Ke Xing video in bilibili. In the whole series, not even once his appearance fails. He looked handsome throughout. No wonder there is a comment in douban saying that the one that can beat this episode Wen Ke Xing beauty is the next episode Wen Ke Xing.

Sometimes when I watch other drama, in a couple of episodes, the appearance of the leads would fail a bit (either by exhaustion that cannot be masked by make up or just a face bad day).

Did he?? Hahahahahahaha!!!
But he is indeed very handsome. And even in his casual photo of when he was a teenager (which I take should be without make up), he was still that handsome man that I know of in this drama. Not to mention the tall body posture and body ratio (his leg is long).

Zhang Zhe Han is indeed surprising me here. I am familiar with him from The Legend of Yunxi but I didn't really like his acting there. But his Zhao Zhi Su is very good, especially in the later episodes.

Gong Jun ...... this is my first drama of him. And I am mind-blown with his visual. He is so so handsome. And I watched this youtube video depicting his appearance from 1 year old to 28 year olds. His appearance practically unchanging ever since he was a teenager. Other actors usually has some changes because of make up or weight loss which led them become better in term of appearance. But he is not. I am just ..... wow.

Finish watching the raw yesterday night. This is certainly a very good adaptation in my opinion. It is indeed deviate here and there compared with the original novel, but I think the adaptation makes the story richer and more emotionaly engaging. I like the acting and I feel that the chemistry as a whole (not only between lead) is also very good.

Story wise, I do love this kind of mature relationship. Finally I can be relieved from damsel in distress, entitled FL in this drama. These days, I quite liking this kind of drama of BL adaptation. From my experience reading novel, BL in china is different from the one in Japan or Thailand. The one in China usually put more emphasize in love that goes beyond sexual boundary. It is kind depicting a love between two soul that resounding with each other. And this kind of love does not always end up in "romance" and goes beyond gender.

Immortality novel is so very very good. The only BL novel that can bring me to tears reading it. I hope the drama adaptation will do it justice. Not to mention we will have Luo Yun Xi there. At the very least, the acting skill should be guaranteed ...... And I heard Chen Fei Yu acting was quite good too in Ever Night.

The mutual relationship in WoH is so refreshing. Not to mention, it is not often that we will have lead such as Wen Ke Xing who bordering in good and evil.

I remember reading in the novel that the witch (Wu Xi) commenting even Zhao Zi Su in his full power will not be able to win against Wen Ke Xing if they are truly fighting.

About Ye Bai Yi, this is my first time heard it. That's why I was asking for confirmation in my previous post.
