#Lost romance

[absolutebl]

Hey, ABL, here's one for you: What do you think of the prospect of a BL parody ?

Has someone done this already ? Maybe l should ask first, has there been a parody of any Asian rom-com, from any source ? Or is it , as they say, too soon ?

I can picture what a BL parody might contain, as l'm sure can you: pour on the tropes ! Anything taken as seriously as we--and the makers--do our BL must be crying out (ahem) for comic relief ... unless we're not in the mood to be made fun of--just yet ?

There sure has it's called:

A Man Who Defies The World of BL

AKA Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko

AKA Absolute BL

And I love it so much I changed the name to this blog to Absolute BL because of it. (I used to be You_Had_Me_at-BL)

It comes from, as it very well SHOULD, Japan in 2021. And I lost my tiny mind over it.

It's on Viki as is the sequel.

It could be argued that Thailand's Secret Crush On You (which I was VERY torn over) has lots of parody elements too. But Thailand just doesn't have the style to be as ironic as Japan can be about these things. Thai cinema has a kind of klutzy earnestness to it that defies true parody.

Portal Fiction as Parody

Taiwan has a glorious het romance that I highly recommend which is called Lost Romance about an editor of romance novels who falls into one and discovers that she is the bad-girl character and has to manipulate the tropes to survive and become the heroine.

This kind of "portal to the fictional world" (portal fiction as opposed to portal fantasy) is something Asian screen writers love but is comparatively rare in the western world, but it is a way to parody a genre (see Kdramas Extraordinary You or W) without being blatant about it.

I would LOVE to see one of these done in BL.

I am thinking I would pass it off to Taiwan (or even Korea, except it needs a longer length to be done properly, it's such a complex story) not Thailand or Japan.

The Name That was Lost

You were always the subject to my musings. The muse to my poetries. My hands are relentless, incessantly writing about what seems to be your name in a long-ass paragraphs and stanzas. But now, I’ve been looking for that drive. I lost the you that’s always been on my scribbles. It slipped in the middle of my pages; I don’t know if you’ve lost your way or you’ve grown tired hearing your name written in kitsch poetries, woven by tireless hands. The “you” that’s always been in my pages has become nameless.

Skin Hunger (POEM)

  It’s so long since I felt your touch. How do we sleep in the same bed and not even graze each other? You pushed me away, With self-deprecating statements. You tell me you are sorry. As I suffer from your exile. Till death we said. How did we die? Laying in this bed.

Watching Lost Romance for a lighthearted romcom but it pisses me off so much. How is He Mingli supposed to be the antagonist?? Idk that she kills people, with the way this family treats her, it's more than justified. I love her so much and support all her wrongs.
