BLove
BL philosophy:
- BL is a guilty pleasure.
- Know your kink. People who kink-shame can go hang.
- BL rankings are obviously measured on a different scale
- There are not many second seasons on the list, I am a foreplay sort of person ;)
BL facts:
- Lipgloss in Thailand is no joke
- Fashion in Taiwanese BLs is questionable
- All lists must have 3 points XD
BL rant in defense
- Stop campaigning against the portrayal of predatory/imbalanced relationships. They are part of the genre. And btw it's not like it's limited to BL. Hetero romances have their fair share of it.
- You don't want to be in an imbalanced relationship? Well, nobody wants to be in the zombie apocalypse either... Think of the loss of entertainment we'd all suffer if they stopped making those movies.
- You want to protect teenagers from getting the wrong ideas? That's what age ratings and everybody's own judgement are for.
- You think it negatively effects the perception of gay relationships? I am not even sure what you are trying to express with that arguement, but, people who watch BL already have a pretty open mind about relationships of all kinds, what could possibly make them change their mind about liking it? Who ever watched a BL and thought 'there! I knew it - gays are the worst'?
- It's fine if YOU don't like it. But some of us do. I don't want to read a moral breakdown of consent issues every time I watch a drama. Argue about it if you will (that's good) or don't watch it (also perfetcly fine) but don't censor it, we have enough of that in the world

104. 2gether: A Série
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Reviews foreshadow a big disappointement. I should have believed them.
Reasons this didn't work for me: too many too count. Reason I still gave 4 stars: Toptap and Mike -
105. Desejo A Você: Sua Melodia Do Meu Coração
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
30 min into the movie and nothing has happened yet. ... booooring
-
106. Niti Man Society and Lover
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
dnf. nil character depth, no recogniseable storyarch, and sooo old-fashioned for a 2021 BL.

Korean Movie - 2008
-
108. Até nos Encontrarmos Novamente: A Série
Thai Drama - 2019, 17 episodes
with a little bit of effort this might have been better off as a psychological thriller. so bad. so much crying and long stares and dragging
-
109. Seja Amado em Casa: Eu Aceito
Taiwanese Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
It's cheap, and cringey. The story is ridiculous and the acting very stiff. Watch this if you want to be cheered up and smile at how bad this is.

110. Docinho
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
dnf.
Should have been been Saint x Zee. Unfortunately script like a fanfic of a 12-year old, if you can't find a better cliffhanger than Zee looking at you like he will eat you right up, you really really really have nothing to say.
