that's why i say bl is most enjoyed in the book format, but i'll support any adaptions of the novels i like as long as they maintain their integrity as a bl work, bc i know what a struggle it is to even do that it's just that the more action-packed something is, the more investment it will need and the more likely the characters will be turned straight in order to reach a larger audience (/sideeyes revive superstar). but there are definitely some plotty works out there. like su youbing writes pg-13 fluff so i wasn't expecting amazing twists and turns or anything, and lan lin writes melodrama so expect angst etc etc. Well i'd imagine a genre called "boys love" will be largely romance focused, but there are a lot variations within it depending on the author. Where do these BL authors usually publish? jjwxc? I need plot & action to like something and most BL so far are simply two characters interacting. I did love Men With Sword, though it's barely BL. I wasn't too fond of Love is More than a Word - it felt like an elaborate Nirvana in Fire-inspired cosplay, but I watched through it. I did not notice it back in 2014 - I'd always thought only Japan did BL ("yaoi"). I prefer historical settings, but I am pretty fond of all the tension/misunderstanding and everything. I definitely need to find the original novel, then. if you ask me what else is there, i'd imagine there are quite a lot.the only upcoming ones i'm keeping track of are nan zhi's love is in a blaze and chai jidan's advance bravery (in terms of producing bl i only trust chen peng or chai jidan lol)Īctually, there are other famous bl authors like feng nong and er ya have sold the rights of their work to big production companies since 2014, but i'm always cautious of them getting the "straightwashing" treatment. although i'm sad the format they chose for uncontrolled love and a round trip to love is so short, i'm still glad lan lin gave them to companies that still kept the bl I think this bl adaptation trend has been going on since 2014, with like love being the pioneer, but yeah it really blew up this year. uncontrolled love is definitely one of the less well written one but i think the movie did well with the plot its dealing with i'm usually not a big fan of melodrama but it left such big impression on me i was willing to swallow the angst of the other novels lol. a round trip to love is of course her representative work and my favorite. a round trip to love is published 2005-2006 so we're talking a pretty big body of work with varying degrees of sadness, but i can guarantee that they're all sad lol. Lan lin writes melodrama. there's abuse, rape, incest, amnesia etc. many but not all her novels are interconnected in the same fictional universe, with a round trip to love as the starting point. I saw Love is More than A Word, I'm iffy about watching Uncontrolled Love.What else is there? What other BL authors are getting screen adaptations? I actually never really heard about BL screen adaptations until very, very recently and then it's like BAM, too many to keep track of. I've heard about Lan Lin writing characters that are all related to one another and that she writes a lot of abusive relationships? I did hear that she's a really good writer, though - which is why I'm curious about her original works. she's probably the only author whose novels arent getting overshadowed by the movies and actors, but its the movies that's living in the novels' shadow i'm also guessing :)))Įvery avid chinese bl reader has heard of the name lan lin at some point in their lives. compared to the bl authors getting screen adaptations the past few years, she's probably a hundred times more famous (well, except the author of love is more than a word, su youbing, who is also getting a 2nd screen adaptation pretty soon). Oh, you're talking about that "2 3" without any units.so does that mean the movie have 2 parts or 3 parts? or is there only part 2 and 3 and no part 1? or are there 23 parts? you'll have to tell me what it means lolĪre you asking me bc i said i don't think they are making sequels? that's just my intepretation of why they changed the ending and how they compressed the timeline of the original story by more than a decade. Although I haven't seen any official news so that's just my guess, but I'm fairly sure that the story hasn't finished if it ends with just movie 2? Unless they planned to remove the real ending (or I've just been reading the wrong story.) In the case of a movie, sometimes it will state run time / number of parts like for 不可抗力之男仆的秘密 with 75分钟. The little numbers in blue under the ending state the number of episodes/parts that a movie/drama has on each description page.
