The Chinese mainland isn’t favorable to homoerotic depictions, they mostly release censored versions of BL novels which are heavily neutered to meet the censorship needs. Despite that, the ensuing bromances always manage to depict a crisp, soft rendition of longing and yearning; the romantic tones though subtle are undeniable. In the recent years, most directors have been using unwarranted female leads as the third angle to pass censorship. Today, we are going to talk about some recently on-air Bromances which deliver a healthy side dose of mutual pinning!

Or is it because the Chinese government is afraid that BL dramas/movies might have negative impact on the young minds in their country.
