Love Online: Extra (2017)

I watched this movie primarily for the supposed BL, but I stayed for the story, and the eye candy didn't hurt either.

Story: I liked the banter between the two leads, it feels like a typical rom-com where the couple started off hating each other and later their relationship blossoms into romance. I feel that I'm watching those type of movies but instead of a girl and a guy, it's a guy and a guy. I found the movie also to be quite funny, from their bickering to them eventually bunking together in the same house. I find it also adorable how they tried to fend off prying eyes, how their story turned into tabloid fodder.

Cast: They were pleasant to look at, really pleasant. The cast must have done a good job to have me in stitches while watching the movie.

Music: Pleasant enough.

Re-watch: I would re-watch just to catch more of the nuance between their actions.

I couldn't get enough of this movie, my mind went into over-drive just watching this. Yes, there is no BL skinship or any mouth-to-mouth action to speak of, but that doesn't mean they do not care or love each other less. The two men were practically attached to the hip till the very end, and even ditched other girls/commitments for more "couple" time.

Deeper than a Bromance, Less than a BL

I started watching because I recognized Nick from Crossing The Line and i'm glad I watched it. I enjoyed the chemistry between the main leads and the story kept me entertained. I got Mr. And Mrs. Smith vibes, once you watch it you'll understand what I mean if you ever watched Mr. And Mrs. Smith. The acting was great, as I've said before I know Nick from Crossing The Line and I enjoyed his work there as well. Huang You Qi wasn't bad as well.
Though not BL entirely because of censorship, I still felt the intended feelings being portrayed through looks and certain actions of the characters. In the end I loved it and would watch it again.
