rating and reviewing BLs i have watched so far (unupdated as of april ‘23)

hi this is just a post that i wanted to include in my page but it was getting too long lmao. this is just like a list of all that i’ve watched so far, in order. i won’t be including their plots here, but there might be spoilers. these are just my opinions in case someone new wants to bond over shows and wants to know what i thought 🤌🏽

we best love (both seasons) - 10/10. first BL that i watched, lowkey changed my life. absolutely obsessed with it, comfort series that i keep rewatching. absolutely amazing acting by everyone involved.

history3: trapped - 8.5/10. tang yi. no words. beautiful acting and cinematography, the plot was handled pretty well and i was pretty much broken by the last episode. jack and zhao lian are my children. i’m still obsessed with the OST, i listen to it multiple times a week. just goes to show how much a good soundtrack can still keep a show in your mind even if you watched it months ago.

bad buddy - 1073392729/10. HOE MY GOD. where do i start. all i’ll say is i’ll never be the same, this series is IT for me. THE show for me. nothing will ever come close. one day i’m gonna meet p’aof and cry on my knees. i will never be able to put into words just how much this series means to me, or just how important it is to me, or just how influential this has been for my life. i’ll never be able to get over it.

2gether the series - 6/10. didn’t watch the second season because s1 was so disappointing even if i finished most of it in one night. brightwin are cute and all but they were giving brothers i’m sorry 💀 their chemistry just sizzled out halfway. and they both need acting lessons i’m sorry

love in the air - 9/10. fort thitipong simp forever. first show that i watched while it was ongoing. came for payurain, stayed for prapaisky. although it’s lowkey rapey (which is to be expected from mame) i loved how well they handled the characters

tharntype - 6/10. started because i had heard so much about it, but abandoned it halfway. aside from the dubious consent (again, mame, people can’t consent when they’re asleep), the internalised homophobia got too toxic

star in my mind - 7.5/10. joongdunk are adorable, but they could’ve done a little more with the plot. the Feels™️ were lacking a little bit. cute show overall though. and i’m one of the five people who will die on the hill that seanmaitee are canon and deserved an official kiss

semantic error - 8.5/10. first KBL that i watched, finished it in one day. very beautifully done, all the colour symbolism etc was interesting as hell. pretty cute, although i do wish we could’ve gotten more fluff

love mechanics - 8/10. saw a short on yt and was convinced about the angst. boyyyy was i wrong, it was so much more angsty than i thought. highkey toxic and unhealthy too, but i’ll let it go. forever simping over p’bar. the parents angle was annoying but eh. i will say though, i had to take a lot more breaks while watching than usual, it became too much at points. we did get a little fluff at least though so

my tooth your love - 9/10. yes i hate the title. very very nicely done, the perfect representation of how trauma affects you even when you’re older and just how much it holds you back. convos about mental health, therapy, not letting your lover treat you like shit, AAAAA 🤌🏽🤌🏽 finished this in one day too. they didn’t magically have a moment where they forgave each other and kissed after confessing. they both worked to prove they were in this for the long run, and xun’an didn’t hesitate to hold bai lang accountable for being a jerk. really breaking all the BL barriers sjdhsjh 😭😭 the only part that annoyed me was his dad beating him up like hello?? he’s 30?? 💀💀 fucking vile. but bai qing is an icon and i love her and i would die for her. simp for alex speaking in english randomly. him and rj deserved more scenes and they need to be canon now!!!!!

roommates of poongduck 304 - 7.5/10. i had heard SO much about this so i had high expectations but i was kind of let down, i mean we really only got them together in ep 7. the chemistry, acting and side characters were great but tbh i feel like i’d have loved this a lottttt more if it had been a little spaced out, more episodes, had better conflict resolution and just better overall detailing. still a cute watch though

currently watching:

never let me go - this series is going to break me, i already know. phenomenal acting, symbolism and cinematography. every wednesday you can find me crying because it is just so excellent, the brainrot is real. can’t wait for more episodes

my school president - OBSESSED with them for real. they’re the toned down version of bad buddy, which i have proven in a post. can’t wait for them to be their high school’s power couple. very very wholesome

those are all for now! i’ll keep updating this post as i watch more. my to-watch list is already overflowing but i’d love your recommendations too!! and i’m always willing to scream about any given show so feel free to join me. :) x

Fix-it fic

CN: Minor spoilers for a few BL series, including one from last year

Someday I will do the math on how much of my fic is fix-it fic, specifically divided by fandom/series/genre. Like...I'm pretty sure my BL fic is like 30% fix-it by volume, because a lot of BL series are, um, not great on things like consent and such.

And even the ones that are generally good on consent seem to think that if someone has been assaulted they must, by golly, just move on with no emotional repercussions. Because they're manly men, I guess?

For example, HIStory3: Trapped. Love that show and it's practically perfect in every way...except for the way everyone just ignores Tang Yi having been sexually assaulted. Have I written a fix-it for this? Yuuuup.

I just posted one for Love in the Air, because one of the two main relationships starts in a super non-consensual way and nobody ever says anything, FFS.

I feel like I also wrote some fix-its for various toku series, although probably not as many. I think there's a Zenkaiger one? Oooh, I'm pretty sure I wrote at least two for Boukenger. And one for Build? Maybe one for Wizard, depending on your definition of fix-it fic.

Now I'm going to wander off and try to figure out how I define fix-it fic before I do any counting :D

Ok, ok, ok, but listen: YXG sitting on HT's lap and HT bitting him and YXG ignoring it because he's so used to that dork by now is the pEaK of domestic behavior.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

Hao Ting...bought this boy a phone, and I’m probably correct in assuming he dipped in the Switch fund to do it. I’m not okay, y’all.

[saycute-chibi]

I'm in love with ShaoFei's confidence right there. He's got no problem undressing himself in front of TangYi at all. And to think that he was all shy a few episodes ago in that 'last button' scene. My babies have come a long way! 😭🥰

P.S. ShaoFei, I saw that hip lift right there. Waah... Go get your man, bae. ❤️

Forever eighteen.

I just finished HIStory3: Make our days count. And I'm absolutely broken, to say that I cried an ocean is an euphemism, i'm still crying while typing this. What broke my heart the most is that I felt like Xi gu didn't have the life that he deserved, his life had so much suffering and he struggle so much to go trough it. All he wanted to do was go to college, live with Hao Ting and make his parents proud, but he never got to college. His life stopped at the age of eighteen, he didn't get to fufill his dreams, he never went to Himalaia with Hao Ting, they never got married. He did make his days with Hao ting count, but what about the thousand of other days he lost? The graduation day, the wedding's day, the day they created a family together. Those days are gone, those are the days that he will never have. His time stopped at the age of eighteen. But what comforts me is that he has Hao Ting with him at the age of eighteen, he is living forever in that time when they were together. He is not alone.

HIStories were supposed to be a safe place. They were supposed to be the one place where we'll get a happy ending for sure.

And now this?

Why?

Has there not been enough death in all the LGBTQ+ films? Has there not been enough sad endings in all the LGBTQ+ series?

Why would they take away our one safe haven?

For storytelling purposes? To show that sometimes life doesn't go like we want it to?

Fuck that.

Just... fuck that.

I don't get it. I really don't.

Guess we should've been on our toes with this one as well huh.

zhao zi: my grandma said one day i would find my soulmate, that special someone who will always feed me and take care of me. oh, what’s this? you brought me breakfast? that seems totally unrelated to the thing i just said! what a great friend you are!

jack, already taking off his clothes: god zhao zi you’re so fucking stupid

[hellothelovelyrose]

This show has broken me

I haven’t stopped crying after watching the final episode of MODC. I thought they’d have a happy ending but this was just pure heartbreak. Did they kill of Xi Gu to give Hao Ting direction and purpose? To make him take school and life seriously? If so, I feel there are countless other ways they could have done that without breaking my heart. They could have had their happy ending just like Bo Xiang and Zhi Gang.

The most upsetting thing was that freaking doppelgänger. The phuck was that about. It made no phucking sense. Also, who the heck is Phoebe? This whole episode has me upset and was outta pocket. I demand a redo of this episode.

[colisa-azul]

[soymatty]

Possibly an unpopular opinion but I’m really glad that Hao Ting pulled Xi Gu out of the club.

I really don’t like the way handsome car guy was tucking in Xi Gu’s shirt - no matter how innocent it was he’s an underage person who is also working for him, he shouldn’t be that close.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Love Confession by Tang Yi!!!

[secretlyintrovert]

I said it for Trapped and I say it for Modc:

If it doesn't have an happy ending I'll ignore the last episode and pretend this one was the last
