@aru_j_sol man im sorry also to break it to u but you sound so male-centered im crying 😭 there are so many dynamics on how romantic relationships are built. if your idea is ‘you fuck first then bond after,’ that’s on you, I could care less
English
sorry to break to you but in real life in most cases gays would've fucked first then started figuring out their relationship later lol

weird take because queer relationships in films and even in real life, don’t have to follow the stereotype that everything should revolve around sex just to be considered “real” or valid. this scene specifically was intimate in a way that felt quiet and very human.

and critique the film all u want in terms of pacing, writing choices, or even how the conflict was handled, that’s valid but questioning whether it is BL at all just bc it didn’t follow a preferred ending or include explicit intimacy misses how the story is actually constructed
English
Soulmate was nicely written, that’s for sure. it may have its flaws, but saying it “isn’t BL” just because it didn’t give the exact ending or physical intimacy some ppl expected reduces queer love into a checklist instead of seeing it for the emotional connection it actually gave

now that i have finished soulmate this was definitely not a bl. of course why not give the queer coded characters a random sickness they will eventually die from because why would we give them a happy ending this drama just extremely pissed me off completely with this

@ddiwa_ even if BL is a theme/genre debate, it still sits under romance, jus like u said it 😭 and romance doesn’t need a “happy ending + physical intimacy” it’s still romance if the emotional connection is the focus. not everything has to follow the “typical BL formula” to count.
English
@httpnat11 we both know that there's a very thin line that separates bl works from queer stories that depict reality. bl is not a genre, it's a theme. the genre of bl is romance.
English
@httpnat11 but they heavily promoted it as BL. they could've just said it's a realistic queer story, why lie
English
@momomaw101 so basically, just because it wasn’t the ending or the “typical” BL formula some of y’all wanted, suddenly it’s not queer anymore? 😭 yeah okay… i’m seeing a pattern

@httpnat11 Nobody is saying anything about sex stop being a weirdo.

@httpnat11 YUPP it’s just the way that Johan has to suffered from illness kind of disappoint me…otherwise the show pretty much queer though, eversince episode 1.
