BL DRAMA'S - ADDICTED, LOVE SICK, MAKE IT RIGHT, OBSESSED, SOTUS, COUNTERATTACK
So I don't know how but I tried my first BL Drama. If you don't know BL stands for Boy Love drama. I don't know why but I was just curious and thought let's try this out and see what happens. And my goodness I have no words to describe how addicted I was with this drama. I have been on a massive binge watching of BL drama's.
I need someone to scientifically explain why a girl like me is so entertained, fascinated in watching two guys fall in love...I will wait for your answer.
Right now I will go through the BL drama's I have watched and my thoughts on them.
Addicted
Watch on Viki, shows the uncut version.
This was my gateway bl drama and my goodness did I pick a good one. I would have to say this is probably the most popular bl drama to date and it is justified.
Things I liked about the drama is it had two very handsome guys, tall, fit, beautiful and I think that's half of the appeal if I'm honest. The storyline was interesting, it was from a novel. (One thing I have noticed is that most Chinese drama's are from novels)
One thing I liked was the dialogue, it was very naughty and I was honestly hiding in my blankets at some of their scenes but then I would repeat it a few times as if I hadn't heard anything,lol.
I also think the reason why it become very popular is the fact that they both fit so perfectly, they complimented each other in every way and their both very talented actors.
Another thing is their kissing scenes, im gasping for air, it was so hot and I was so shocked at their kissing scenes. It was riveting and so real.
Cons- Sadly the drama became so popular that it got banned in China. And the crazy thing is they left it at a cliffhanger so I'm just like really....
But this is a music video they did and I will just say this is my ending.
Love Sick
I watched this second and it is a Taiwanese drama (look at me jumping from language to language). They are both school based but their quite different. What I loved about love sick was the storyline, it was cute and different. Also, love sick isn't just about the main couple but it also focuses on other BL couples which is cute.
I loved season 1 and I thought it was a nice spin on how a relationship blossomed. I also liked the main couple I thought they were cute in their own way. They both had a different charm which made them perfect for the roles.
Cons - I do have to say season 1 was amazing and I loved it a lot but season 2 I felt like they went backwards. Okay, let me start by saying the first thing that really annoyed me about this as someone who went from watching Addicted which had realistic kissing. Season 1 there is 1 real kiss that they showed but then theres another kiss but it's cut and theres only a poor quality version of it.
Season 2 there was no kisses shown, I only found a cut kiss after watching the show. But that's not the worst part the thing is they will build it up and then cut the kiss out or move the camera so you can't see sh*t. After a while I just stopped getting my hopes up because I knew nothing was going to happen.
Another thing I would like to say is in season 2 with the main couple you could see that they didn't want to do what they were doing, like they would be hugging and have their necks craned back. Like really, it's a hug. It ruined the illusion of it all and it didn't seem as realistic as in season 1.
Also, there's a lot of unnecessary girl drama which adds nothing to the story, luckily someone edited those out on youtube.
Make it right
Oh, my days, just watch this....
The thing is this is produced by the same people who did love sick so the school is the same and their uniforms are the same. But it's a better version. I.E hotter guys.
Make it right is more explicit, they talk about sex a lot more and the first episode alone will leave you with your mouth on the floor, I honestly couldn't believe what I had just seen. It was beautiful.
The guys are beautiful, at first I loved Tee because he looks a bit like BTS Jimin. He is beautiful. But Fuse the other guy (oh, these names,lol) He is perfection, I could just stare at him all day. He is like the cutest thing ever. And their acting is a lot better than in love sick. It's realistic and you feel the love. That's all we want really.
And also we do have a kiss quite early on in the episodes which I thought was sooo cute. But I loved one episode when they were in bed and they were confessing their feelings and it just felt so emotional. I was choking up. I swear. It was beautiful.
Also, the side couple, Frame and Book. They are hot especially in season 2 when Frame came back looking all types of extra goodness. I am just mouth dropping like wow. Season 2 Episode 1 came back with fire. It just went to places I didn't expect it to go.
Cons- Can't think of any.
Obsessed
This is only four episodes which are about an average of 20 minutes so you will finish this pretty quickly. It is very much a lot of kissing, very intimate. I actually quite liked the story. Basically, it's of two guys who are together for 9 years or something then one guy decides to marry a girl and leave him, the other guy runs away, gets hit by a car and is given a second chance, wakes up in his body 9 years ago on the day they meet, he avoids him because he doesn't want to get his heart broken and things happen....Kind of like the butterfly effect.
It's a Chinese drama and the guys are handsome and I really loved the one that time traveled.
Cons - It's just short really, wanted more but I can see myself watching it again.
Sotus
The way people recommended this show, I was so excited and ready to watch it. I watched this after Make it right and the difference was crazy. It's based in a university and there is ALOOOT about Sotus which like a sorority or something and I was bored. It's kind of like they hate each other at the beginning and then they fall in love but the thing is unlike ADDICTED where they hated each other at the beginning and they would do pranks, it was funny, hot and cute this was a lot of speeches and I was just bored.
Another thing was the guys were not as good looking. (I did say that point counts for like 50% of the enjoyment) You need at least one eye candy. I kind of skipped a lot and the romance starts at around episode 9 and then the kisses were on episode 13/14...the kisses were meh.
Cons - I have said a lot of cons already. Let me do Pros - I can see why people like it, I think it's good to try it maybe you will like it.
Update 13/12/2017
So I have watched Sotus again when I heard that there was going to be a second season. This time around I have seen literally all the good, average and bad bl drama's drama so I had nothing left bl wise to watch. I was not expecting them to be as intense as in Addicted. So my view point at this time is that this will be a slow burn and to just enjoy the little moments. I can say watching the show for the second time, it was actually quite good. The whole, push and pull. It's more about their conversations, their words, the little moments. The pinkmilk, all of that stuff.
Counterattack
I basically saw the photoshoot of the main couple first before I watched the show.
I think if this had been the first BL drama I had seen I would have enjoyed it more but because I had seen other shows that are better in terms of the storyline and stuff it doesn't really rate that well.
Cons - I didn't like how forceful the bigger guy was, it was too much and not cute at all. I'm not even sure if this was most a book or not. Maybe that's why. It lacked something.
The sad thing is I enjoyed their video at the photoshoot more than the show. Because that video it is 20 minutes long, that's one episode and their kisses were so real and effortless. The big guy was a gentle giant and their kisses..ahh...watch it below:
Thats it....yay, Make it right season 2 is currently releasing episodes so I might do recaps of that since I am so in love with the series.
