This is a really good point especially in a culture where PDA is minimal. BL has gone through a metamorphosis as it’s being adapted in other countries, and it is adapting to its various audiences. KinnPorsche is a major hit because audiences are getting tired of high school romances. Now they are wanting more adult themes, more hot kissing, and sex. Adding a Mafia tag is the icing on the cake. I’ve seen so many commenters condemning shows because the leads don’t make out. There are definitely times when I get disappointed, but since when does a kiss make or break an entire series? Some of these shows like Mr. Unlucky and My Love Mix-Up don’t need a kiss. Yes teens kiss and have sex, and some don’t. It’s okay to show both sides.

I find it humorous (and frustrating) that audiences get upset when writers of live adaptations don’t stick to the novel. I think writers should have creative freedom to add and remove elements of a story to adapt to their audiences.

I’m also curious to know how much the lack of kissing is based on the actors in the shows or are some of these shows written intentionally leaving out a kiss. There are shows that contain multiple couples, but there is only kissing between one of the couples. The Japanese actor Kira Yuki kissed his love interest in HIS and Kimi no Koto Dake Mite Itai. He plays a high schooler in both, and the kisses were very light and brief, but are perfectly acceptable given the story lines. In Make it Right, neither leads have a real kiss (mostly camera angles), but Fuse kisses his girlfriend in the show. Book and Frame not only kiss, but they have sex in multiple scenes. Even in Color Rush, the two leads only touch lips. Cherry Magic had plenty of opportunities for the leads to share a kiss, but it never happens.

I also want to clarify what you mean by intimacy. You can have intimacy without kissing, which I think some of the stories portray. Especially Life Love on the line and Cherry Magic. I think if you look beyond the sexual I do find it odd that characters kiss during the courting stage, but not when they enter in a relationship. Do you think if actors are uncomfortable kissing their screen partners they should be recast?

Japan is a phenomenon when there are same sex couples. I have seen dark concepts that include SA (Dangerous Drugs of Sex; Double Mints) and lighter conceptsuu that are very PG (Cherry Magic; My Love Mix-Up). Takumi Kun series is one that shows a balance of being in a relationship and has a sexual component. It’s interesting when Japan was the first to explore the BL concept.

It’s like the ones who are penetrated are reduced to infants after intercourse. This happened in cutie pie and It was hard to watch.

I am dying!!!! As usual you never disappoint. I would be cautious about having a relationship with a person 10 years younger than me simply for the fact that we are in completely different places. This is a major reason I don’t think Akira is being prude or playing hard to get. His concerns are reasonable and something any reasonable person would consider.

Despite Shin being mature, he is still a teenager. Developmentally he is in a different place and that doesn’t change regardless of culture.

I don’t understand why they constantly portray love interests as infants after they’ve been penetrated. It’s like it’s impossible to be penetrated and have common sense at the same time.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For this comment. It is so frustrating when people think the laws of their country should and do apply to every other region of the world. And it mostly comes from people in America. They are constantly commenting about the topics of age in BL just because of some misconception that 18 is age of consent. I appreciate you pushing back, and being more open minded. I remember when there was an uproar about the age gap between Thai actors Earth and Santa when there was a rumor they were dating. Thailand has different consent rules than Korea, China, America etc. you don’t have to like it, but respect their freedom to create and follow their own laws.

The reason why their relationship hasn’t progressed is because Akira. There are no consent issues or doubt of feelings, but fear and insecurity is ruling Akira. Their age means nothing, but gives Akira an excuse to stay in his shell.

Kim’s rebelling against his Big Daddy Gangster Husband. I’m kinda enjoying Kamol whipped over Kim… it’s a nice change the more reserved one is being chased.

OMG how is Cherry at this fancy ass party, but has to mix her own drink for an advertisement???? hahahahahaha

I had NO idea this was a DeanPharm fanfic….. mind is blowin up right now. They should never been allowed to produce this under that claim because this is not it. My favorite character is Namning. Although Inhate when they portray women this way, she brought a level of excitement that was missing in the chemistry between actors and plot development. Because she consumed so much of their relationship, Lukchup and Ram had nothing to talk about. It was either about food or Namning…..

About that kiss…..why did Sky need to open his shirt to do it? Such an odd gesture during an equally odd kiss…. Although, Paitong needed a boyfriend to occupy his time…His meddling was starting to irk me.

I’m not afraid to address the elephant in the show…….. Sooooo…..what happened to the coffee shop?

Can you give me an action drama you liked in the past?

While I completely understand why you’re so upset with how this was handled, I think it is necessary to remind you that He is a CHILD. Yes children need to take ownership when they make mistakes and he should be punished for cheating. But his father has been treating him as inferior to his younger brother for years, and he just wants love and acceptance. Again, he is a child. You don’t go tell your child to go die regardless of how angry you are. He is the adult and if he can’t empathize with his own son and prioritize family over career, than that’s an entirely different issue. It’s so easy to cast judgement on others. It’s much harder to try to understand why they make decisions and be more aware of how your actions and words impact others.

There are many at fault for happened, but adults need to do better by children. And there are plenty of parents who tell their kids to cheat and feel nothing about it. Look at the 21 kids who are in court. In addition the child may be sensitive, but he is still under a great deal of pressure. If you are not part of an influential family, you may never know the amount of pressure placed on these children. They are viewed as failures when they don’t live up to those expectations. These are different obstacles that regular people don’t face. Most kids want to make their parents proud and it is devastating when they feel there is nothing they can do to win.

It’s very minimal. I would say no more than 30 minutes of the entire 10 episodes.

You make an excellent point. I think both men and women should be called out for it equally. Criticizing a show because it doesn’t have BL is beyond ridiculous and I am happy someone called the out.

I’ve been watching BL for many years and I started because A. I was sick of the lack of representation in mainstream tv. B. Gays never get a happy ending and they always die. C. They are used as comic relief because the gay man is over exaggerated. I am always cautious that I don’t commit those same faux pas because I teach high schoolers who are gay and transgender. I always worry about offending because I’m not familiar with a concept.

I appreciate your comment back!

Finally, something happened!!! I knew my intuition wouldn’t desert me this week….Now I see why they rated this one 25+ and want it on OnlyFans…. Praew’s side boob is outstanding.

Jokes aside: Praew has the best acting in this series. Her personality leaves something to be desired, but she fills the role well. I am intrigued to see how her story will continue to progress.

I’m just a passer-by who found this entire exchange hilarious. Highlight of my night. This comment in particular caught my attention. I was with a group of friends and porn came up (casually of course). The guys talked about how they enjoy watching lesbian the most, which was no surprise to us. However, a woman confided that she enjoys gay porn and the amount of outrage and accusations of sexualizing gay men blew my mind. How is there a double standard even when watching porn, when the purpose is to derive sexual pleasure? Aren’t the men also sexualizing gay women? Or am I misunderstanding the meaning of sexualizing and fetishizing? Any thoughts you have are welcome.

OMG call center operator?????? I can imagine him being the voice I hear when I am entering and exiting the terminals at the airport.

I am trying to think of a show where I didn’t like the side couples better than the main, and I know they exist. Maybe it’s because we get so few moments?? I live for Park and Lee. There is just something so damn authentic and charming about their relationship, that I get butterflies. Now I’m just waiting for episode 11 where everyone has some sort of misunderstanding, or over inflated sense of selflessness and break up, so I’m trying to get as much sugar as I can.

My biggest issue with MSL is the premise of them creating BL content to force them to get close and start to like each other. It kinda goes back to the original concept of BL, but we didn’t know if both of them were straight to begin with, so that argument falls flat. They could have fallen for each other while creating the SCOTUS music video or through Mek’s various pranks . The BL content was a bit too forced and it dries t work for me given the nature of the show. Maybe I would have liked it better if they weren’t threatened into making the content for the Chancellor’s personal pleasure. Or I could be overthinking it.

Of course I was so curious, I searched the web and found this information. Scroll down and read the comments because someone is giving updates on how it changed from “Secret Admirer” to “My Secret Love.” They kept the character names, but changed the plot along with the cast changes.
