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

12 eps of 45' would have given them A LOT of room to tell a story. They choose not to. Actually, NOTHING much happens. Watch it with your brains switched off. It's pretty enough and the uncut version might actually be worth it for the steamy scenes as they carry a lot of the story.

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 -

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.

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.

dnf. this is definitely not a bingeable show.
High production but so far It's sadly going to lengthen my already overly long list of mediocre BLs which seems to be a specialty in Thaïland. Not great, not fun, but watchable when you have some time to waste.The shy virgin trope with the vanilla plot is just too much.

![Love Sea]()
125. Love Sea
Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
Too immature. Although Fort is all flirty smoothness that fits the laid-back, no-worries character, who ever came up with the character for Peat? Pouty, over-acted, childish & rejecting Mahsamut for no discernible reason; I'd sooner believe he was a cat than an adult. His attempts at seduction seem completely out-of-nowhere.
