rap isn't just that? its just a genre. it can be anything. even in normal singing genres there is the bad part.
lol I don't like the vast majority of rap music, but your masturbatory, self-righteous, Puritanical, preachy BS comment is far more annoying than the worst gangsta rap on Earth. Tipper Gore and Delores Tucker...hahahaha...good god, you're a parody of yourself.
Finale: In nearly five years of watching BL, this is one of the most beautiful I've seen.
MILD SPOILER: It is so well acted that it's easy to forget how well-written it is. Numerous scenes, like the final clothes closet scene, brought me to tears with unique touches such as SP not making a big deal out of Sean sleeping there again; allowing him whatever time and space he will need to adjust. Which of course, means that Sean's adjustment will happen all the more quickly because he feels no pressure. His relationship with SP is the opposite of what he always knew with his father and family.
SECOND COUPLE STRONGNESS. Good god. Those two are a show in themselves and maybe that's sort of what producers have in mind for what I hope is an inevitable sequel. There is a LOT of rich material here to run with in a second season. LESBIAN LOVELINESS? :) Perhaps so. :D
This is the FIRST BL in five years for which I have deliberately sought out fan service and interviews on YT. lol I'm old, I'm male, I'm fangirling, and I don't care who knows it. That is how I know how remarkable it is that Lin Chia Yo makes Johnathan come across as a few years older and more mature than Xin Jia in the series, yet in the promo vids they all seem the same age. That's great acting.
Don't get me started on second couple heat in this finale. Thank you to the writers and director for that. There is ZERO physical hesitancy or holding back and it makes a world of difference. HOWEVER...when are BL writers going to learn that butt sex IS NOT PAINFUL when done well and patiently, especially the first few times? Why would we all do it every chance we got if it hurt so much? "See Your Love 2" needs to hire me as a sex scene consultant, or as they call it in Hollywood, an "intimacy coordinator."
BRAVO to all! It was fun to see all the cast and crew photos at the end. Great reminder of how many people it takes to create something like this and what an achievement it is to pull off great acting with 30 people and all kinds of equipment just out of frame. A great show makes sure you never notice what's off camera, but this was a good reminder.

In truth, having just finished this I'm too emotional to write much that would make sense so I'll come back tomorrow.
Im so happy you brought back the dancing. gif! I missed it. 😁
Oh man...that's so sweet. It means a lot that you mentioned it, because Yoo is on my mind a lot these days.
First off, he's been through unending torture from the Korean "legal" system and press for nearly two years now. Second, he's in jail, sentenced to a year. Third, he's awaiting re-sentencing upon appeal and the f**king prosecution is AGAIN pushing for FOUR years in prison. The judge put that off a full TWO months after the last court session, to February 18th. Why? Just to tighten the screws a bit more while he waits? It's not as if these bastards don't know the case background and everything about it. They could have had the mercy to announce the sentence immediately Can you imagine the stress our dancing boy is under?
My hope is that these additional two months in jail awaiting sentencing is for show to appease the press and public so they'll be more likely to think he has suffered enough if the judge leaves the sentence at one year or even releases him with time served.
I perceive Yoo to be a deeply sensitive soul as are most creative people, so this is all doubly horrible for him. Frankly, I worry about him following Lee Sun Kyun's example and that of so many other celebs who have been abused to death by Korean cops and netizens. ugh. Can't wait for this madness to be over. I want Yoo to come to Hollywood and America, where we believe in second, third, and fourth chances. :)
In my opinion, the only good Thai BLs are the older originals, some of which are on my list. Enjoy! Another Thai…
Oh yes, that series is definitely on the darker, more adult side of BL. Which is of course, why I love them. You'll find many of the shows on my list have a dark edge though there are definitely a few fun/brighter ones too.
On edit: Just remembered that about a year ago I moved Mood Indigo and The Novelist over to my Best Gay Feature Films list for exactly the reasons you mentioned: Though they were released as series, they both FEEL like films to me; and it seemed silly to have them in a BOYS Love list.
awwwww thanks! Just in time for me causei ve just started thai bls and searching for suggestions!
In my opinion, the only good Thai BLs are the older originals, some of which are on my list. Enjoy! Another Thai classic which didn't make my list is "Love By Chance." Skip the sequel though. A nightmare.
I was SO happy zongbie survived! I was actually upset when he used the cig lighter. :D Kim Nam Gil always slays. It was fun to watch him play such a crazy role. Jung Ga Ram is a hottie, even zombified.
Don't expect anything but a silly but well-done zombie spoof and have a ball!
hahahaha...ahh...the sad, pathetic "America BAD" whine of the chronically insecure, threatened, jealous little child. As for "brattitude," good god, are you ever projecting. Your comments here are the definition of bitchy brat.
hmmm...I found the positive but also open ending a bit frustrating...but I'm OK with that frustration. I was also frustrated with Minase at the wedding party, but impressed that Haruki so masterfully backed off without making a big deal out of it. Minase wants what he wants so badly, but he's also not ready...which is...frustrating. But life is often frustrating.
Some of the kissing throughout the show was lacking, but this is Japan, after all. However, that lackluster smooching was all the more jarring because the acting and emotional connection that led up to it each time were so genuine. Passion, electricity...mannequin kiss. No, please.
That said...SEQUEL PLEASE.
I hope to see a lot more from these two fine young actors, and not just in BLs. It was nice to see them both in hairstyles that flatter their good looks. Asia should ban bowl cuts. :)
What phenomenal acting; some of the best I've seen in a BL over the last four and a half years. Both leads are tremendously invested, in the moment, and in the character. I rarely if ever, saw them "acting." The most defining element that takes their work together to another level is that there is no rushing of lines. Many times one or the other takes time to react and/or formulate what they're about to say before they say it. But unlike in countless Thai BLs, those quiet moments are full because you SEE on their faces and in their eyes the process they are going through. Rather than slowing down the dialogue, those full-to-the-brim space expand and deepen it. Truly remarkable.
The two of them in bed together, bare-skinned, was a beautiful thing to behold. And there again in that scene, there was a loooooooooong moment of silence between dialogue during which they simply drank each other in with their eyes. Extraordinary. I do wish the director had allowed us to go with them a bit further into their lovemaking. It would be lovely to see these two physically expressing what they feel for each other. I would have had to get out my paper towels for sobbing, but I'd be perfectly fine with that.
Minase's drunk scene was especially masterful. I saw none of the lame over-acting or cliche "I am really drunk" mannerisms most actors fall back on. Yet he was believably, calmly drunk. That's not easy to do.
I'm gay as the Christmas goose, weirdo. And you need to consider getting over yourself. You're a hysterical fanatic, every bit as all-caps crazy as any dick-phobic fujoshi. No one died and made you Queen of Queers, qualified to make decrees and issue orders.
What an embarrassing, shrieking stereotype you are.

I barely skimmed your rant. I know what happened in the movie and I'm not arguing with an unhinged label police person. Seek treatment.
IT'S A BL! Deal with it.
