DISGUSTING IN EVERY WAY

TRIGGER WARNING!!!

This series is horribly repulsive. HiStory is known for making good compelling stories so this was shocking to say the least.

The younger brother rapes his older brother. It's sickening and psychopathic. There is nothing romantic about it. Not only does he plan the rape, he shows zero remorse and even recorded it. Claiming his older brother as his. Worse than all of this is the non-reaction. Ye Xing Si just accepts in and is forced to reconcile the relationship with his brother, when the brother feigns a suicide attempt. It's wholly gross and not in the least bit entertaining.

The second couple, aren't as toxic or disturbing but cheap and insulting. Li Cheng pretends to be gay and in love with his friend Muren to get the attention of a childhood crush. However, when Muren is drugged and he watches him masturbate he starts to have feelings for him??? What an earth is this show? From that moment on he has romantic feelings for his best friend and wants to be with him.

It's not as morally repugnant but it's equally as disappointing.

There isn't a single redeeming quality about this series. The acting and chemistry between the cast is even lack luster. It's weak and cringeworthy at parts. It's like 4 actors were hired by 4 different casting agents and thrown scripts at.

I wish I could give it a 0 and I'm shocked anyone is enjoying. Non-consensual skinship must be the only factor that has people rating it so high. It's a shame that's all it takes to make people think a BL is good.

HiStory 4 misses the mark by 100000000000000%. Awful.

It was definitely NOT worth the wait. I ONLY wish it were as daring as it claimed.

I must be in some parallel universe because this series is very flat, predictable and trying way to hard with their awkward sex scenes. They need an intimacy co-coordinator because it's all so forced. Speaking of forced....

It's hard to get through any scene with Force and Book. They can't emote. They are uncomfortably wooden. Nothing about their story is engaging or even makes sense.

Why does Top like Mew? Why does Top dress like an 86 year old man on his way to the golfing club? So many questions.

First, Khaotung and Neo's capabilities and range as actors only highlight how poor Force and Book are. It's a disjointed series in terms of acting ability.

First and Khaotung are working well with the stories they have been handed. However, it's quite tiresome to see the same pairings again and again, it just takes away from the beauty and mystery of acting. I already know Ray and Sand are going to fall for each other because they are a BL pairing. I personally don't have an interest in seeing them do the same thing with slightly different ingredients.

Only Friends was meant to be daring, messy and unpredictable but it's anything but. You can already tell where each story is going and what audience/fandom they are catering for. Nothing is spontaneous.

If only Force were a better actor. The dark horse pairing could have been Top and Boston. Two characters who are addicted to each other no matter how hard they try not to be but this is the predictable BL pairings world. So unfortunately, no such luck.
