A catalogue to illustrate all the wrong reasons for having BL just for the sake of it?

Okay, 1st episode introduces a trio of main guys, who then walk in front of the camera in slow motion. And I don't like any of the 3? This never happened to me before while watching HIStory!:)

I didn't like 'Make Our Days Count', but it was GREAT in compare to this. This is really bad... There are two guys who should be friends, there's no real spark between them, only a lots of stupid "humour", then we have two guys who should be family, one of them acts super meek though he should be the confident type as shown in his work life, one of them acts like a psycho stalker. There's stupid fujoshi girl who's all giddy to see boy on boy couples forming, not caring if they're clowns & creeps.

At episode 6, it gets even depressing... I felt so sorry for one of the guys. He was such a good big brother and he had to find out that in that respect, he was nursing a viper. The kid step-brother makes a move on him when he is drunk, just because his attraction to him is "love" in his warped mind, not caring that he actually broke his heart. Had he really loved him, he would not do that to him. I will not argue here whether brotherly love is more than lovers love, apparently to please the BL audience the lovers love took priority so that we could watch that bedscene.

Looks like this show was made with the purpose to serve as a catalogue to illustrate all the wrong reasons for having BL just for the sake of it.

If this is the way HIStory has progressed, then perhaps it would be better if it ended. Oh, wait. Next time (HIStory5), it's Sci-Fi, even? Great. That won't get Dropped by me. That's straight to Not Interested.
