It was interesting to watch #Dopamine just after @farnes.bsky.social and I were talking about the male gaze of Flying Penguin mini-series ( #SexualLessons and now this) vs the female gaze K-BL productions like #Summertime. Similar levels of explicitness but totally different levels of eroticism.

That could be so. I think I’d agree that #SexualLessons is more “male gazey” - whatever that means in cinematographic terms. 😁😆 It’s definitely very much about the physical act and not in any way about emotional intimacy or relationships. It is interesting and enjoyable, but quite different. Not BL.

I do agree. #SexualLessons may be equally explicit - although it’s much, much shorter and basically just has one sex scene per series - but #Summertime is far (far!) more erotic. It’s gloriously horny and revels in it. Multiple times. And multiple ways. Dohyeon is just hot hot hot for Eunho always.

(I mean, I’m not counting niche mini-series like #SexualLessons, which probably equals #Summertime for explicitness.)
