Most successful BL ever.
According to Wikipedia it is the most successful BL ever. It even topped big mainstream productions. Within 24h 10 Million views.
If you only like glossy stories, you might not be happy. But that's exactly what I like:
I like this drama because it also shows normal everyday life and not everything is so hygienically clean and bling bling, as in almost all productions. You also see a dirty backdrop sometimes. The bed doesn't look like something out of an expensive department store brochure and the shower looks more improvised than the shower of a luxury 5-star hotel.
Yes, we all dream of this luxury and I am still waiting today for my prince to seduce me in such a luxury bathroom.... looking at me with his languorous gaze and swearing eternal fidelity... trembling gives me a kiss... (I think I'm rambling ^^)
This drama has a very nice humor and the love story still gives me goosebumps today.
The paths of two down-to-earth guys who don't like each other cross constantly and a very deep relationship develops. Of course, everyday life goes on and problems get in the way. But they manage everything and... and then? And then suddenly this drama ends.
The series was so successful that the censors got scared.
Dear censorship people. A BL drama does NOT make anyone gay. Not even if a gay man gives you a kiss, none of you will become gay. It is not a contagious disease and no woman will suddenly drop dead while watching a BL drama, no car will out of the nowhere breaks down from a BL drama power and no voodoo of this world will harm your sexuality. The only thing that will happen is that you will make yourselves ridiculous.
Anyone who stops something like that deserves eternal boredom in a small office. Let's see what heaven has in store for you. People told me that censorship people will face an eternity with exactly what they have stopped in films.
This is true for ANY censorship in any country. Yes, even the western world considers censorship normal.
And before you misunderstand me. I am an advocate for youth protection! What always makes me think a lot is that a nipple leads to big censorship measures, but a knife in the belly (in the head for all I care) (with liters of blood) does not. It's a weird world. We are all conceived through sex and almost all of us practice sex (in one form or another). But violence is (hopefully) not at home with everyone.
Oh... I've drifted off again.
So... the censors stopped the filming and that's what I call fear. There were then final scenes shot so that the viewer wouldn't get the feeling of an abruppten end. Too bad. I would have liked to see the real end and it would have come with the popularity to a second season.
So. What you get is not only a very beautiful love story but it is also a document. But even without these circumstances the film would have gotten 15 out of 10 points ;)
Very well acted, very sensitive and not too striking.
Every BL fan must have seen the mother of all BL movies.
Have fun!
