Sadly quite a few BL dramas/books started out as rape and turned into relationships, this is also one of the bread and butter tropes of historical Harlequin Romances that still appeal to some readers/watchers unless they experience assault/rape first hand. I have to admit I was guilty too in believing this was okay until the shoe's on the other foot.

If you want to get your mind fucked, this is the movie.

The tagline for this movie should be "Don't Assume as it makes an Ass out of U and Me"

Bahahahhaha

I love the original Taiwanese version, but I also love the Japanese remake "I don't love you yet."

Same feeling. But i will give it a few more chances.

thanks for this...somebody translated in the comment section

@minyoung that's great! I should've watched thr Guardian first as The Untamed set the bar high for me. ...I don't know if you also watched Men with Sword? If so, is it worth it?

You can check out The Untamed. Also another BL drama adaptation like the Guardian with elements of fantasy.

Check out The Untamed. Another drama adapted from a BL novel with elements of fantasy.

@minyoung @fari2 check ou The Untamed. BL Novel turned drama like the Guardian.

If you mean romantic subtext between two Male leads, i recommend The Untamed.

I wish I read this advice BEFORE i watched the drama. I'm stuck in hell now after reading the manhua, watching the donghua and am now in the middle of the novel and I can't move on!!!!

Sheesh i can't spell @phoe-enix right

Above comment is for @phoe-enix hahaha

@ephermal @phoe-enex Thanks for your support. The funny thing is some people are so triggered with that one word when in my original post I did say that the drama reeked of longing and love as is the definition of romance.
And Bromance is still a type of romance, if not, it would be called male bonding, brotherhood, etc

I see people just scanning comments ready to pounce from the sidelines just so they can spout highly convoluted, seemingly intellectual comments as if we are going to be graded on how well we debate on a Dramalist website.
Whatever happened to just expressing enjoyment about the drama?

And to note I would have watched GL dramas as well if they are any good ones. Aside from thr Handmaiden, the ones I watched were so meh. It seems biased that they have more selections of Asian BL/gay themes than GL/lesbian story lines, but that's a discussion for another day.
Sorry if my gay is showing. Hahaha.

Correct. It can't market itself as romance and honestly bromance is also a type of romance. A boy romance.
And people nitpicking and getting gungho on one word smh.

Fine. It seemed both of you just concentrated on one word out of all my previous comments based on a technicality.
I'm not trying to censor the drama. China is. If you can't leave a positive comment as a positive one then I can't help you.

And what is great about the drama is not just the bromance but there is actually meat to the story....to see how characters are flawed but still have redeeming qualities and not everything is black or white. So amazing so amazing story!!!!!
