The 'getting Together' Lift Versus The 'reconciled And Even More In Love' Lift.

The 'getting together' lift versus the 'reconciled and even more in love' lift.

Realizing I have a thing for dramas with certain elements:

supernatural themes;

theoretically, a comedy;

layers upon layers of grief every episode;

found family/strong friend groups;

(UN)questionably a BL (enemies to lovers at that).

Please send help in the form of recommendations.

Or don't. It's probably best not to encourage my masochistic tendencies. 🤦🏾‍♀️

ChenAi at work... (no audio available)

i received a lot of things i wanted for Meet You At The Blossom so for the two extra episodes that we should see in ~november i'm gonna try and manifest just 2

1. confirming with words that they got married and are husbands now

2. Xiaobao calling Huaien baobei-er like he does in the novel. so that i can explode and die from feelings immediately

*wouldn't say no to the very final scene of the novel but if they filmed even an allude to a bj i know Lele and Kaikai would already have screamed in embarrassment about it at least 18 times so gotta be realistic here

What are some JBLs you recommend that have good kisses AND a good romance plot

LOL I can hear the pain behind this question, anon. It’s true that a lot of JBLs with a good romance story fail to deliver on the physical intimacy side of things, though that is becoming less and less the norm. I do have some that I think do both reasonably well. I don’t know exactly what “good romance” means to you, but I’m going to assume we’re talking about well-executed romance plots, regardless of the show’s overall genre and focus, where the characters and relationship arc make sense and don’t randomly derail somewhere along the way. Here’s what I got:

I Cannot Reach You

This is a high school friends to lovers (the cream of the crop for that trope, IMO). This is a story about realizing feelings and building the courage to change your most important relationship, so you’ll have to wait a bit to get those kisses but once you do, I think you’ll be pleased.

His

The second chance romance for me. This is a bl film about two men who come back together after a bad breakup and figure out how to make it work. I love them and this story so much.

Old Fashion Cupcake

There’s only one kiss in this short and sweet show, but it’s a real doozy. A super tight workplace age gap romance that knows exactly what it’s doing.

At 25:00 in Akasaka

Two actors who went to college together meet again when they are cast opposite each other in a bl drama, and get tangled up in the blurred lines between their professional and personal relationships. Angst, baby!

The Pornographer

This series features some of the best kissing and sex scenes you will see anywhere in the bl genre, but warning that it’s a twisted and wild ride. There are five installments and you gotta watch them all to see the full picture of the character and romance arcs. It’s so rewarding if you do.

The End of the World With You

From the same mind of the previous entry and similarly hot and wild and weird. This show has more going on than the second chance romance at its core, but it themes come together beautifully.

Tokyo In April Is…

Another second chance romance, this one features a lot of sex but also deals with heavy subject matter, so mind the CWs. It’s one of my favorites of last year and the love story in this one has really stuck with me; it’s beautiful and so hard won.

Love is Better the Second Time Around

This one comes with a disclaimer that it goes off the rails in the final two episodes, but you asked for good kissing so it would feel wrong not to include it. Yet another second chance romance (are you picking up on a theme here?), this one gets two former high school lovers back together as adults to sort out their misunderstandings, lingering feelings, and buckets of sexual tension. It was so good—until it wasn’t.
