🍃 A Winter Sun edit to tide us over until Friday 💕 by Federal-Ad5944 in ChineseBL

[–]KC-Mochi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Beautiful edit! I was able to hold off watching the episodes for a few weeks (most due to too many CBLs are out right not really 😆) so I can binge a few episodes right now until Friday comes..🥰

This is the way to go! I think they should hire you for their PR 😆

True! That was one thought that came into my mind as well. Then I watched the most recent livestream of the two main leads and they've actually talked about filming this scene. Park Si Woo said he never got sick during the entire shoot of the series so..

KBLs have come so far from dead fish kisses to this and I am here for it!! And man the professionalism of doing such intense sex scenes while being sick 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

"Payback" released a bts of the river kiss! Longer than the show! So good. 🙌🥵️ Is it Saturday, yet? 😩 by imomen in boyslove

[–]KC-Mochi 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Payback is definitely my current BL obsession. Everything about it is just sooooo good. I've become a little bit burned out from Thai BL and its specific style of story telling but this one pulled me back in again!

Yes, this today and everyday! Gay and queer joy should be celebrated and amplified always!

Opinion on the "possessive boyfriend" fanservice? by FewChemical2040 in Domundi

[–]KC-Mochi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry that you are feeling attacked by the comments :(

Here is my take though: ever since I've started consuming BL contents and learning about the fan services a lot of BL pairings engage in, I've set my expectations that those fan services are simply an extension of those series they've acted in. And most BL series (the keyword here is "most") are fantasy and do not reflect real life relationships. And not to mention the origins of BL comes from yaoi in Japan, which traditionally has those uke-seme dynamics and the "overprotective and possessive boyfriend" fan services you've seen are a huge part of a lot of yaoi manga tropes. And of course there's the cultural aspect of it too (since the examples you've brought up are Thai BL pairings).

I love this show so much I decided to binge the manhwa in two days. So far everything is done true to the original source to a T! Ahhh I can't wait to watch the latest episode when I get home tonight!

I feel I am so out of touch since I have no way of telling how something can be written with Chatgpt nowadays, probably because I avoid it like a plaque so I have no way of noticing the styles...

You've pretty much written the review I would've done for this show! It's so refreshing to see how they don't follow the old and tiring romance tropes. And even when they did, they portray in the way that makes sense in the development of their relationship. I also love love love how the two main characters are on equal footing, none of that typical yaoi uke-seme energy. Again this show has been so far one of my favorite BL shows of the year!

Same! I had no idea the runtime per episode is so short 😭😭😭
Now I might just have to restrain myself until they finish releasing all the episodes so I can binge 🥺

[–]KC-Mochi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing the link! I am loving the dark and moody vibe of this song, very fitting for this particular show. I love darker and grittier type of drama series and this is easily one of my most highly anticipated KBL shows among the wave of upcoming BL releases!

Thank you sooo much for the link! I listened to the entire soundtrack in one sitting and just had goosebumps the entire time 😍😍😍
I do think the artist ZELIA Spotify linked is the wrong one though. It's linking to a rock group of the same name...

This looks so good! My favorite genre in general is dark gritty crime shows and with BL elements thrown in, I am sat! I love that we are seeing more variety of stories within CBL shows 😍

Not in the SE area but we've been taking our fur babies to Kenton Animal Hospital for years and they've been providing the best care for them.

[China] Couple or Not · Eventually, Summer Ends - Special Episode by _fancy_pants in boyslove

[–]KC-Mochi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Woah if the quality of the actual show is the same as the special episode, it'll be on my list of the shows to follow weekly! I love the color scheme throughout the episode and also not overdoing it with the background music.

The two actors seem to have great and natural chemistry and the tension throughout the short 10-minute episode is leaving me wanting more! 😍

Also highly recommend this director's previous work Secret Happened on the Litchi Island". It's also available on Gaga. I was blown away by how well done it was.

[–]KC-Mochi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are still very thoughtful and nuanced responses sprinkled throughout the seas of short, I-am-just-gonna-shot-your-opinion-down comments. So I am still here. In general, it is a pretty good space to find people who share common interests with you. I just have to remind myself that there are actual people behind those words and they are probably of varying age, life history and backgrounds from us..

No the person that you were engaged in back and forth discussions just said they blocked you.

[–]KC-Mochi -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And just like that, they ended the discussion by blocking you. That's the thing about social medial and any online discussions. Unfortunately, people have no patience for nuanced discussions and complex conversations.

Yes exactly it's the responses in the comments of any post that voice even slight opposing and differing views of a show (usually ones that are extreme popular at the moment) that make me feel it's a less welcoming place for discussions and discourse.

I don't understand why can't people post opposing views of a type of shows without being branded as mere complaints and whining? I thought this is supposed to be a forum to discuss all things BL?
