Against the Grain in China

It's been an interesting time watching China emerge like a phoenix to become one of the power houses in BL production. Equally, its been a concern to see how the majority of the stories told have had toxic plots, toxic characters or both. Specifically, stories coming out of China. Why is that okay as a reputation?

This is why I was moved by this series which features broken human beings trying to live day by day. People with traumatic backgrounds, with anxiety and unmentionable amounts of pain.

The story hasnt reached its conclusion by the time this is written, but the series needed a small celebration from its audience for going against the grain for once. None of the leads are trying to outwit and outsmart each other. Instead, they're trying to reach out to each other without knowing how that could trigger a reaction, but because they're driven by love and affection, they keep trying anyway.

Highly recommend this series if you're into soft, gentle love stories talking about overcoming life's difficult challenges ✨️👌💛
