Tagging game. Top Five M/M drama series and five honorable mentions that you recommend.

tagged by @negrowhat (and this will be very similar)

1. Tharntype

This show is a roller coaster. Yet it proves itself along the way. The whole ride through not without it’s really rough patches and not without it’s really amazingly, sexy, sweet moments...I feel like it’s best described as that meme “not gonna lie they had us in the first half there...”

2. Dark Blue Kiss

Long live the coffeehouse AU. Uh, wait...There’s more. I should take it seriously because Kao’s coming out is very important. This show did handle those kinds of things nicely. Even Mork’s iconic line that gets me every time, “I like guys but that doesn’t mean I want to date your brother...” Well, about that.

3. History 3: Trapped

My biggest takeaway with this show blows my mind any time I rewatch it. There were no hang ups about any of the characters liking men. Also, Tang Yi the bi gangsta trying to go legit...I fell for this show because of the very reason there wasn’t some drawn out plot about someone trying to still identify as straight but oh hey I like only you. The only hang up is one of them is a police officer and the other a known gangster who is the head of a “gang” that has killed and trafficked drugs. That’s it. They’ve been in love and it’s basically your perfect enemies to friends to lovers.

4. The Untamed

This will sound shitty but I have no knowledge of the novel [Mo Dao Zu Shi] save for a few smut chapters. And my ears have been assailed by audio readings...I say in a good way but don’t watch the live action and then listen to the audio. In fact, full stop right now. Read the novel first if you want original versions of these characters. If you want your own version with that tantalizing censorship go watch the live action. The gif explains the love story. Like no joke, what else can I say? He looks at me. I look at him. He looks at me...crack videos of this show are to die for but don’t watch those first. First, get through 50 episodes of this good shite.

5. Theory of Love

Theory of Love filled my heart with such joy because I too think of film scenarios often or live in fantasy worlds like the budding filmmaker Third. However, there is one thing about this show like many other BL series...the female characters are not treated so fairly. It’s just...give it a try if you want because there is sweet and legit character development for one of the mains.

Honorable Mentions:

1. SOTUS. I only put that show here now because while it’s how I started digging this rabbit hole, the show does nothing for me anymore but it still does a lot for others so I recognize it.

2. Together with me. Korn and Knock. Max and Tul. The first half is the best. And if I have to watch TharnType go through what KornKnock went through I’m going to riot...we don’t need a cheating storyline *oops*

3. Until We Meet Again. I’ll be honest. Not sure I fully watched this show, but I do have to say soulmate stories are just usually heartbreaking, amazing, uplifting and the actors were on point in the series. Also, a canon bisexual is in this show, but I do wish that just once a bisexual character could maybe explain themselves explicitly? Just one scene where they say, “Yes, I like girls. I like guys, but right now I like you.”

4. Off the beaten path to mention a little show called Merlin. Want some agonizingly obvious romance like the Untamed censorship? I mean tell me that by season 4 it’s not the Kingdom of Camelot ruled by the bi-King Arthur who yes, married a Queen, but don’t you also know he has a boyfriend?

5. Lastly, I’ll add in a current one...the Why RU series. It’s crack on fire, but it’s still driving a story. So baffling but I love the juxtaposition of two different couples. SaifahZon coming in number one with the disaster fluff in this year of 2020 and then there’s Fighter and Tutor who might steal Tharntype’s thunder...hehe

Tagging: @dollopheadsandclotpoles (simply because I mentioned Merlin...I revisited it recently) @trixietricoter @yeollbae @this-solaris-life @lostinbl

Don’t we all just hate the tagging bit, but enjoy the other part of the game? Feel free to play. Maybe there’s a show or two I haven’t sunk my teeth into. :}
