Well, we had Jimmy and the ultimate hubby Johnny there to make us drool 🤣

Haha, girl, I’m totally drooling over Yo Ki 🤤
And to think I didn’t even find him attractive in Addicted 🤣
He’s aged like a fine wine

Yeah, totally fair 😊 Of course everyone has their own tastes, and they’re all valid. What works for one person can be really uncomfortable for someone else, and that’s okay.
Personally, I really liked ABO Desire, except for the ending, which felt extremely rushed and kind of disappointing compared to the rest. The other one you mentioned which filmed partly in Thailand is my current obsession 🤣
In general though, I tend to gravitate more toward dark romance stories, toxic characters, unhealthy dynamics, but with a good redemption arc that actually makes sense emotionally. I think that’s probably why C-BLs usually work better for me.
Compared to that, this series feels very light and fluffy so far, almost too light for my taste 😅 A bit messy, sure, but also much more “realistic” in how things could happen, which I can appreciate, it just doesn’t hit as hard for me emotionally.
Still, I totally respect people enjoying different kinds of stories. Variety is a good thing after all 💛

Haha, same!

I don’t know which Chinese BLs you’ve watched, there aren’t many anyway because of censorship. Over the past year, they’ve mostly been putting out slightly better BL productions by using certain loopholes they’ve found. Still, I disagree; I think their scripts are far superior to those of BLs from other Asian countries.
That said, this particular one I think it's really all over the place, at least so far 🤣

I agree. Maybe my expectations were too high, I’m not sure. It feels a bit boring, especially episodes 5 and 6. I’ll still watch it till the end, just with more low-key expectations.
As of now, I'm not interested in the second couple at all.

Okay, you convinced me! I can’t enjoy anything after To My Shore. I keep dropping one series after another 😩
I’m desperately looking for a BL to help me get unstuck, at least until the special episode comes out. Someone recommended this one since I loved To My Shore so much, and now I just saw your review. I’m starting it tonight 💛

Well, judging by my avatar, it’s pretty obvious I’m obsessed 🤣
I’ll trust you on Yesterday. Give me the blackest flags possible and I’m already drooling 🤣🤣🤣
There’s still no news about the special, but they wrapped up filming two to three weeks ago, so I’m guessing we’ll get some news soon.
Honestly, I’ll be so glad to watch something this good again. I barely enjoy anything after To My Shore 😩

What do you mean? It's completed, all 15 episodes.

For To My Shore, both actors are under the same agency, which makes joint promotions much easier to control and protect. Combined with the overseas/co-production setup, their management can safely allow CP content, appearances, and continued interaction without too much risk.

For Revenged Love, the situation is different. The actors are from different agencies, which already complicates coordination. On top of that, the show is more sensitive in terms of censorship, and the actors themselves are more well-known. The higher an actor’s profile in China, the stricter the image management and risk control. So I think separating after the series ends is a strategic decision by management.

The same goes for everyone on MDL. We all see things we don’t like, yet most of us don’t go around dumping negativity under every series that offends our aesthetic.
So if you felt the need to post this here, then either you’re bored and looking for a fight because you enjoy throwing insults, or you’re seriously lacking basic common sense as I already said.

Oh no, gay shows… on a site with BL tags. Tragic. Have you tried minding your own watchlist? The real filter you need is common sense.

That beating scene must feel way more satisfying now 🤭
I rewatched it too 😅

No, he clearly tells him that Fan Xiao was the one who molested him. You can rewatch the scene, it’s near the beginning of episode 9.

You Shu Lang found out that it was Fan Xiao who had assaulted him. In episode 9, he asked Bai Ting to get Bai drunk, and when he ran into him at the club, Bai told him everything. That’s why he later went to confront Fan Xiao and beat him up.

Still no news about the special episode. About a couple of weeks ago, during one of their livestreams, Yun Qi and Yiran said they had finished filming. We’re waiting 🥹

I'm crying 😭 I guess I have to watch Addicted again… for the #### time

Agreed, I didn't care much for the second couple, though it's too soon to judge. We'll see.

It seems promising. I liked their chemistry. If only the episodes weren’t so short 😩

I haven’t seen her in any series before, so I’m not really sure what to expect. I hope she does well though, the show looks really interesting.
