Boys Love Series
-
@Rotron I tend to binge watch a series after watching one or two episodes to see if I want to watch the full series. I am very keen to watch Between Us but I do agree the trailers look boring. I like the quality of korean dramas, better thought through and executed plots and, of course, the inevitable twists. However the episodes are long (1- 1/2 hours) and 16 or so is pushing it.
-
@nix54 Yes, there is always high expectations for Korean dramas. To fail will be quite a shame. There has also been some titles that locals from Korea will reject and boycott if they do not like or go against the norm in a drama show. These titles then are either scrapped or not shown locally. Koreans are critical of their history so shows that are historical must not deviate from what really happened.
I am not much a fan of Korean historical shows but I've watched some. One thing that I did like is The King: Eternal Monarch which is a science fiction / historical thing because two Koreas exist (one from the past and one from the present) and the Korea of today is a Korea where the Korean War did not happen. So there is no North Korea and the monarchy thrived or survived. You might want to watch it. It stars one of the most popular Korean actors.

For us international viewers, we really don't care about this and I personally think that this will only limit creativity. As evident on Japanese anime, they really have no problems like this and this is why the Japanese are able to churn out unlimited stories that uses history or characters from history in their stories.
-
@Rotron Oh Yes, I very much liked The King:Eternal Monarch although the ending was a little odd. it was one of the first Korean series I ever watched - the K2 being the first. Descendants of the Sun made me a committed fan of Song Joong Ki and his wry smiles. It does appear a very odd and harsh society to my european eyes. Many years of watching US shows and extensive periods living in the US have led me to believe that a society's TV is a pretty accurate reflection of that society.
-
@nix54 Oh I liked K2 also. I just started on Descendants of the Sun. You are so right on the last part. This is why I watch a lot more international titles that interest me. It's the culture that one must get to absorb. The West is great but the society definitely is not. There's just so much hatred in it that you don't see in other parts of the world to that extent. People from the West who don't get to travel is very much a part of that society and this is why a lot of them retire in Asian countries. It may not be perfect nor it may not provide you with benefits that you get from their government but here it gives you the simple and peaceful living that one may desire without working oneself to death.
When an Asian goes to the United States, there's a good percentage that they may experience racism, an act of hatred or sheer disrespect. But when an American or any Westerner goes to Asia, it's quite the opposite. You are venerably respected, honoured, celebrated and welcomed. Depending on which country of course but in mine, you definitely will feel the warmness of the people.
Don't include China in what I said though. Majority of mainlanders are rude and boastful especially the ones with money. Japanese people have greatly changed their perspective of tourists in the past years because of Chinese mainlanders who irrespectively desecrate important and sacred places. They don't give shit about other people's culture or way of living. It's the same for any other country here in Asia. We don't like them but they bring the money.
Gosh! I've been talkative again. Ehe.

There's a particular manga site I am sure you are aware of that I first went to for some yaoi content and discovered that they had a large collection of live action BL content that I didn't even know existed, as well as both shorts and long form live action English language content, and manga/anime (even clips of erotic anime/manga art), etc. I'm sure you are aware of it for helping to add to content here, but if not, feel free to send me a PM.
It would probably be helpful if we had a thread where people could talk about the content to help people decide what they might want to download and check out - it really surprises me that so few people - even though many download some of the porn clips - bother to vote that they like it (the star rating system) or bother to leave a comment as a form of review. There's so much BL and anime and manga that - other than maybe you like a photo, there's no real way to decide if something is worth downloading (or more importantly, spending the time) to check it out.

@FDS2000 Thank you for the info. I will PM you instead.

@Rotron I'm really glad you enjoyed Prison Playbook! I completely agree about Looney, that was my one huge (and swallowed) complaint about the story. With the story being FULL of redemption arcs, it bothered me quite a bit that the two "out" gay characters had zero redemption. Even if we follow through with Looney getting busted and sent back, at least he could have had a redemptive moment with his mother visiting him in prison or something and us getting "closure" on their rocky relationship. I just wanted something other than trashing him at the last second. The other gay character (the abuser) also was one of the only ones left unredeemed, though I understand some characters aren't redeemable. Still something about it doesn't sit well. But at least the show itself was so great and all of the characters are amazing. Plus had the adorable lead from D.P. in it mmm

@Rotron I look forward to the #MyDay follow-up! Though I noticed they're minus Sir Ace hmmmmm
-
@nix54 Is Reborn Rich available on here? I was just looking for that and can't find it uploaded, even under dead torrents. I was recommended that
-
@spence8585 I'm going to follow up with Hospital Playlist, which is made by the same people and features the actor who plays the baseball player's best friend/prison guard in the show
-
@spence8585 Yah. I really wish all those were done for character closures. It just gives you that wondering feeling at the end as to what happened to them. Thanks for reminding me about D.P. Let me put that on my watchlist now. Hospita; Playlist has been on my list for far too long and I have yet to continue Descendants of the Sun. I just don't have enough time.
Reborn Rich is very very recommendable. It follows through with real historical events like Korea's financial downfall wherein they have to borrow a large sum from the IMF, the 911 disaster and several others. The best thing of all is that the main lead got killed and got reborn in the past. I'm not gonna say more but there are editorials going around that this movie is very similar to the events that follow the family who owned Samsung Corporation and all their scandals.
It stars Song Joong Ki https://mydramalist.com/people/431-song-joong-ki who also is the main lead for the series "Vincenzo" where there are a few bromance scenes too.
As for Ace (Aki Torres) He recently had a picture with some of the crew for My Story but it was taken out so I guess nothing went to progress there if ever he'll be back at Oxin films - the production company that made My Day and Rainbow Prince. He endorses a lot of products and is a great event host. He could have been a great actor but his BLs after My Day weren't really that good. They were titled "My Toxic Lover" and "Worth The Wait". He's going to star in a new BL titled "Forever Yours". Aki had a big falling out with the director for My Day wherein he bawled out crying that he was hoarding all the earnings for the series. He streamed it live on his YouTube channel.
Aki Torres
The guy who replaced him in My Story is Teejay Marquez, one of the main leads on Ben x Jim and BXJ Forever. Which I would say may have been chosen because he has a somewhat similar look to Aki but we all know Aki is a great kisser eh. LOL

Official Trailer: The Promise
Finally, after two Shorts as prequels we now get the official trailer. Sadly we do not see Seagames Teerapat Angkanit (Mister International Thailand 2nd Runner-up 2022) anymore in the newer scenes in the trailer but you'll still see him in the first part, the one wearing a white sport jacket. He's the third guy in the prequel and for me is the most handsome. There is a new guy though.
The Prequels are available here. Search for Phupha | Nanfah
