a good story should let you know the AIM of the plot right from the start. Like "When Life gives you tangerines." In the first ep, we already see her struggling because she's a girl in a sexist time period and she is poor. The unfolding comes when we see how she can overcome her struggles over the course of the drama and see if she can succeed. In Spirited Away, the AIM is to change her parents back to humans. That drives the plot. The AIM of avengers is how to gather a bunch of superheroes and how to make them work together; then the rest of the movie shows that. The AIM of the plot shouldn't unfold; it should be told right from the start. It's bad storytelling when it's ep 2 and no plot moves on. Shine is just a bunch of people in a bunch of scenes in 2 episodes doing nothing.

Who said anything about romance???? Stop putting words in my mouth when u don't know the meaning of plot. A bunch of people living in a certain time is NOT a plot. A plot is something that drives the narrative forward. Like "When life gives you tangerine," the plot is the female protangonist wanting to be a writer in a sexist time period and pursues that goal. So what IS the plot of Shine? Are they aiming to overthrow the dictatorship or what? It's ep 2 and we know nothing. Don't be so emotional and defend BOC just because you love the actors. They don't love you back.

Omg yes!!! You’re a long bl watcher too! High 5

No Grindr in the 70s, so they leave secret codes in poems in newspapers??? Damn that policeman and reporter are hot. I hate that I want to watch the next ep even though there’s no plot. lol

What’s going on? I don’t understand. What’s the central issue that’s going on? So many different scenes that don’t make sense together.

Thais and Indians look alike.

Khem looks like this short hair actress. She acted in many BLs a couple of years ago, always playing tomboy, annoying roles. U know who I’m talking about???

Pharan looks like bright and a couple of actors

Yes. Tle, pepper, guide (knock out) can be 3 brothers.

Yup. I think this is the scariest bl so far.

Ok the ending made me laugh. Harry Potter???

Went in without knowing it was horror. First jump scare, I was oooh I like it. Lol

how many times did u watch it

To the reviewer who said the comedy is over the top… ermmm first time watching Japanese comedy? That’s how Japanese comedies are!

DIRECTOR AND PRODUCERS, if you're reading this, try to release it outside of china through netflix or gagaoolala or whatever platform. Some returns is better than zero return.

bro, is english your first lang? Or do you not have commonsense? where is the hate??? how did u come to this conclusion??? is your brain working? liking one thing more doesnt mean you hate the other thing.

crossovers are not uncommon in the BL world.

"they don't look alike as they each have different characteristics" - yes, they have different personalities but that doesn't mean they don't look alike! Personalities and looks are different!!!

basically a virus attacked the human population 10 years ago and now there are 3 types of humans, Alpha, Beta, Omega. Supposedly Alpha is the best and Omega the weakest. Because Omega men and women can get pregnant, people don't really discriminate against sexuality. They do discriminate against Omega.

first ep is kinda confusing because the actors look so alike (I'm chinese and I can't tell them apart!). But it gets better in the second and third ep. Perservere!
