Title: Irresistible Love.
Also Called: Uncontrolled Love
Novel Title: Force Majeure
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Directed By: Sun Cheng Zhi & Meng Rui
Written By: Lan Lin
Starring: Meng Rui as Xie Yan
Wang Bowen as Shu Nian
Release Dates: June 28, 2016 (First Movie)
August 20, 2016 (Sequel or Part 2)
Country: China
Language: Chinese
Shu Nian is a orphan and meets wealthy boy Xie Yan who "adopts" him. The two are inseparable friends with Shu Nian calling Xie Yan "Young Master"
Shu Nian is gay and in love with Xie Yan. Xie Yan is a self entitled asshole in many occasions but he can't deal with his feelings for Shu Nian often using force and dubious consent to touch Shu Nian.
As adults Xie Yan has a manipulator girlfriend who is jealous of the obvious closeness between the two.
Final Thoughts: I had a love hate thing with this movie. Honestly I never heard of it. I did like the actors. I felt so bad for Shu Nian. He reminds of MODC'S YU XI GU in that he had no parents and always seemed to get the short end of the stick. And I like Xie Yan almost as much I hated him. He was so entitled but when he was sweet he was a sweetheart. I'm not sorry I watched these two films. According to my research 2 Endings were made. One where you Shu Nian dies from injuries due to a car accident and Xie Yan learns of this and is devastated and isolated him self. (I didn't see this ending)
The ending I saw was Xie Yan went to a location hoping to see Shu Nian after a long time. Supposedly Shu Nian doesn't show. As Xie Yan prepares to leave he notices a man watering grass or plants wearing a mask and baseball hat. He immediately notices its Shu Nian. When the mask falls it is indeed Shu Nian who is limping and is slightly disfigured from the accident. Xie Yan professes his love. The two kiss...the end.
Asking some BL Fam if they've heard of this one. Of course @absolutebl having an impressive numbers of BL's watched. And @pose4photoml & @lutawolf
Or @wanderlust-in-my-soul have you heard or seen this?

Top 9 Movies
thequeenofsastiel tagged me to list my top nine movies, so here we go.
In keeping with the title of this blog you get BL and queer romcoms only.
I’m only choosing stuff that originally aired as movies so, sorry Korean short forms, you’re out. (Or they’d dominate the list.) Some of these are really nostalgic for me since they were some of the first queer anythings I saw with HEA, so I forgive them (much as I forgive BL now) for their sins against wokeness. They are what they are.
Tumblr media
Shelter ~ Street artist surfer falls in love with his best friend’s older brother (explains my weakness for this trope + stepbrothers). Angst + a heavy dose of familial responsibility and tortured coming out sequences. 
Tumblr media
Latter Days ~ LA party boy makes a bet that he can seduce one of the mormons who just moved in. Instead they fall in love. Great friendship group. SUPER romantic. Triggery ttriggers. 
Tumblr media
I Can’t Think Straight ~ Chronic party girl keeps trying to get married but can’t because she’s hella gay. Meets and falls in love with gentle writer, but family expectations are a bitch. Introvert/extrovert pairing + secret romance. 
Tumblr media
D.E.B.S ~ Sure it’s candy but it’s queer candy. Lesbian spy (dressed as a catholic schoolgirl) falls madly in love with evil super villainess. Straight boy is the sidekick. Musical montages abound. This one prepped me for the levels of ridiculous BL can reach. 
Tumblr media
Were the World Mine ~ has some consent/obsession issues (hellloooo BL) and fantastical elements, but sublimely fabulously gay af. 
Tumblr media
Maurice ~ what can I say? I have been and always will be a sucker for a costume drama. 
Will we ever get our gat kiss? ANSWER THE CALL, KOREA! 
Tumblr media
Restart After Come Back Home AKA Risutato wa tadaima no ato de ~ Atmospheric study in rural Japan meets complex family dynamics built on a romance framework of city boy meets country boy, grumpy/sunshine. It’s beautiful and icy sweet. Slow moving in places but ultimately worth the patience, low heat, low angst, very pretty. Full review here. 
This was the first thing that finally convinced me to give atmospheric BL a chance. Up until then I had watched it but kinda dismissed it in annoyance, what can you do  hen you’re raised on Takumi-kun? Restart broke through that for me. 
Tumblr media
His (Viki) ~ it took me a long time to warm up to this one. His is about being a grown adult and still struggling with coming out as gay. It addresses the consequences of life choices disingenuous to identity. Nagisa turns up on Shun’s doorstep with his precocious daughter in tow. This is a touch confusing to Shun since they were each others first love. Shun has retreated from society, rejecting the world before it can reject him, already brokenhearted because without Nagisa he never had a reason to fight. Nagisa went the opposite way, tried to pretend to be something he was not and ended up with a daughter he adores and a wife who hates him. This movie is beautiful and the setting is unique and interesting but I'm STILL not wild about the ending. 
Tumblr media
Silhouette of Your Voice AKA Hidamari ga Kikoeru AKA I Hear the Sunspot ~ it’s certainly not as good as any of us wanted given how wonderful the original manga is. Also it doesn’t really end happily, but it’s on this list for what it COULD have been. 
Tumblr media
Irresistible Love 2 AKA Uncontrolled Love ~ obsession whipping boy romance but with a kinda happy ending quite violent, lots of tiggers. Why is it here? Well I found it after Addicted and Advance Bravely I was just so happy to see any kind of even slightly good resolution out of China at this point. Sure it’s challenging, but that’s what early BL is about. Of course I have only the secodn movie up here because the first one ends on a cliff hanger. 
----
I do LOVE Big Eden but I also didn’t find it at the right time. Too late on this one to make it truly formative for me.

I know I shouldn't commit to you.
But you never love who, when and how you should. That's not the way love works.
Love just appears in front of you and brings down all the walls around you.

Ceres (1) is the capacity to nurture. The pain of ceres is felt deepest when the opportunity to nurture is denied and one is unsure of the state of that which needs nurturing. It’s a feeling a helplessness without the ability to change it. It’s about having that which you love and are the protector of ripped away from you and the worry, hate, regret, and hopelessness that results from it. To be overpowered and have the most vulnerable piece of you taken without the power to stop it. Men working against a woman to get what they want despite anything else involved. That’s why she’s a lesbian.
On another end of the spectrum and a less obvious Ceres issue is HAVING to become independent a little too early. That is having your nurturer taken from you and the adjustments and pain one goes through if that happened or happens.
These Asteroid Goddesses are the hurt aspects of Lilith. Not the glorified sexuality that is so mainstream and aired out that it’s almost boring. They’re the pieces that seem to never get acknowledged. The essential pieces that are necessary to understand the dark feminine before ever attempting to truly embody her.
Lilith being stuck and tormented with anger and all the hurt pieces that hurt so bad without the ability or knowledge of them is how the patriarchy oppresses the truth.

I was wondering if you have a list of pre-censor Chinese BL and where I might find them.
To me China is such an interesting case study in this. The country is authoritarian and dare I say, even homophobic. And while other conservative countries* don't even touch queer content with a ten foot pole. China was fine, at least for a while. I am guessing they are mostly dark BLs with a sad ending but it is more than none. And I've heard some were even good, story-wise.
Also they were only for making money but what 'woke' piece of media isn't even in today's day and age. I can kinda let that one slide.
*Different than authoritarian (China, Russia, etc) closer to other Asian countries (India, Pakistan, Korea(given they entered much later in the game. I could be wrong though))
Chinese BL pre Censorship
Because, ya know China, they are really hard to find, so that part isn't really available. Assume you have to go grey for everything.
I can give you everything I got for prior to Addicted and where I originally found it, if you like? There’s only a dozen I know of.
2014 Like Love 1 AKA I Love You As A Man: Part 1 YouTube - has an HEA, also explicit, yeah China once did that. Classic early yaoi style BL college romance for a rich popular jock type and a super nerd.
2015 Like Love 2 AKA Nobody Knows But Me YouTube
2015 Falling in Love with a Rival AKA Counterattack YouTube - very weird 
2015 Mr. X and I compilation YouTube - includes Us Against the World which is a decent little high school BL but the other 2 installments are sad 
2016 A Round Trip to Love YouTube (murder gay) often in 2 parts - obsession goes rotten in China’s favorite way: kidnapping, rape, and uke sacrifices himself into death for the sake of his abuser. Because how else could it possibly go?
2016 Lost Love YouTube (death)
2016 The Male Queen: Han Zi Gao (death) 
2016 Ghost Boyfriend 1 (Ghost Boyfriend series) GaGa (death)
2016 Queer Beauty AKA Oppressive Love movie YouTube (apart) 
2016 Fanatic Love GaGa - another weird one 
2016 Irresistible Love: Secret of the Valet YouTube - I not-so-secretly love this BL: Kidnapping, whipping boy, obsession, mutilation, very hard fought happy ending (in one version). Absolutely classic Chinese BL pre-censorship. It's a wild melodramatic ride.
2016 Irresistible Love 2 AKA Uncontrolled Love YouTube - Exists in 2 parts/movies, 2nd movie has two alternate endings: a kinda happy and a definitely NOT happy, usually found grey on YouTube.
