Unleashed

This Taiwanese BL series was adapted from a book which is banned in China. Pfft... China banning everything about homosexuality, what else is new? I'm so glad to see the book was being adapted into a beautiful series. This story is thick with family drama, which can easily be boring, but not in this case. The main lead of this series is a big brother who adopted a little orphan who was abandoned on the streets. His life was polluted with crime when the main lead got involved with a gang in order to provide for his little sister and adopted brother. His struggle and love for his family is the main focus for the whole series. For those who are worried about the ending, I'm telling you not to fret. Because the ending is very satisfying. Remember, it's a Taiwanese BL series, not Chinese. It doesn't end with death or separation. Or both, like how the Chinese government have always forced their film makers to do in order to get past their myopic censorship abuse. Is it any wonder that people are more supportive of Taiwan being freed from the monstrous clutch of China?

The best interpretation of love
planetjiangnan12 April 2024
The film not only tells the story of love, but also explains the affection, friendship, responsibility and so on. I don't think he can only be classified as a romantic film, but more about the relationship between responsibility and emotion. It is very suitable for watching when you don't know what love is, even if you are not a Girls who like to watch men fall in love with men, so that you can learn something about love and confirm your mind. Completely divorced from the definition of bl drama, it will be more profound, profound and unconventional. "Unknown" is really a good drama, with a good plot and well-performed actors. It is a film suitable for anyone to watch.

Best BL of 2024 so far
WilaFox20 April 2024
Wow. So this was something amazing. A while ago I sent a friend this message: "It's amazing, amazing amazing amazing perfect great wonderful and I've run out of synonyms for the word amazing." And I stand by my words. The interesting thing is that the series is filmed in Taiwan, but according to a Chinese book by a very famous author called Priest, One Chinese series based on a book by this author has already been banned in China, so I'm glad that Taiwan took the initiative to create such a wonderful work. It will be very difficult for me to say goodbye to this couple. I think this is the first time I'm sorry that it's not common outside of Thailand for couples to stay together and star in multiple series because Chris and Kurt are the stars. They played the roles of Qian and Yuan perfectly and put their best into both characters. Chemistry begets chemistry, tension builds, and sparks fly exactly when they're supposed to. AWESOME.

Great actors! Great acting!

I don't see it as just a BL drama, but a drama that teaches you what is love. I am amused by how the younger brother, Xiao Yuan, realised, hide and show his feelings for the older brother, Wei Qian. The acting by the actors is really good, got very touched by it.

Just can't imagine what if anything happens and the two brothers can't be together. Fortunately, both of them managed to be together in the end. Qian can finally live his life for himself for once, and have someone to depend on.

Brilliant actors who put in their best effort into analysing the original novel, and really putting all their real emotions into acting, making the characters come to life.

This series is really worth watching
alfinanurrahman20 April 2024

This series focuses on brothers who have a lot of drama. The meeting, which was initially just a form of concern, made Yuan, his younger brother, fall in love with his older brother. Xian, the older sibling, who initially didn't know, slowly felt lonely when his younger sibling wasn't by his side. Then when he almost lost his younger brother because of that "strange game". The climax was when he first endured his younger brother's departure and began to accept his younger brother's love.

This series really gives me both happiness and sadness. I can even feel it on both sides. Thanks to the good acting from the two actors, I managed to watch this series until the end. Thank you for presenting a very good series. Amazing.

A subtle story of two people growing into eo home
pristae5 May 2024
BEST BL of 2024 No cap. It had a subtle storyline and gripping acting by brilliant casting . What I really liked is the character development of Wei Quan and Yuan throughout the story. Both of them successfully portrayed the true dilemma of their characters and how they grew better as individuals in the story. I liked how Yuan with his sheer determination finally won over the apprehensions of Qian , How when he came back from US he was more matured and bold , how Qian slowly realised what matters in the end are those who stood with you till the end. Be it the kindness of the Sang Pang or innocence of Lilli , The bits of humour through out the drama made it more better .Yuan in his all sassy attitude teasing Qian was fun to watch. While in most of the other bls , those intimate scenes (which I dont like usually ) are mostly out for pleasure , I liked how in this one it was not purely for that purpose, it was also a bold statement by Yuan asserting how he wanted to change the relationship dynamics between the two and wanted to prove that he could be the one standing with him till the end and that he could take the whole responsibility of family off Qian's shoulders and that he could prove to be his real life partner .This one was surely the one i would never regret watching .

One of the Best Taiwanese BL
Jkhin0722 April 2024
This is my 1st time to leave a feedback since 2019 that I started my BL series journey.. Really, really worth watching.. I love the characters, the plot, the scenes and all.. 😍 I thought it was just the same lame stories of BL, I am thinking, I guess I won't be able to complete it or wait for the next episode. However, it really change my mind after I started watching it and I can't wait to watch the next episode. I am always eager to check if the next episode is already available and so I can continue watching it. I forget to watch some of the on going BL's because my focus is clearly on this Series. It is really UNKNOWN until you watch it. Great job to all people up front and behind this series. I HOPE TO WATCH MORE OF THIS.

a really good love story
ts-lina28 April 2024
I really love it, it's one of my two favorite stories (for those who want to know the other is the Thai drama - I said sunset for you/I promised you the moon). And I think this is because it is realistic and gives vibes without pretentious tension, the story is very good and not fast in telling but with good character development. First the two main actors and others also have perfect chemistry and the emotions are not forced but genuine and I feel like it's a story that could have happened somewhere near us. Not because it's bl, but because it's really worth watching, I definitely recommended it.

A great TV play.The actor played a great role.

"About the Unknown Us" Qiu Yuchen plays Wei Qian, Huang Hongxuan plays Wei Zhiyuan, Wei Qian is a child who has no father and mother and nothing. He only has a sister who is waiting to be fed, but picks up Wei Zhiyuan, who is as poor as him. In the first half of his life, he only "raising his younger brother and sister and lives", a child who is not yet an adult. It's really difficult for Zi to raise two children, not to mention that he has no money, but he is very strong! Resilience! And smart! To make a living around, he made himself a smooth world, and finally raised his younger brother and sister. When everything slowly got on the right track, his younger brother took the narrow road of "liking men". He began to reflect on whether he did not teach him well, and began to persuade his younger brother. He found that his younger brother's love was so painful and began to love his younger brother again. My brother was drunk and confessed that he liked himself, and he blamed himself more. He didn't see him, and let him go abroad and didn't see him. After going abroad, there was only himself left at home. He didn't take the children with him, and the empty house was only lonely. In it, Xiaoyuan performed a good performance of secret love, took care of it carefully, and told my brother to remember to eat, especially the eye scene where my brother taught Xiaoyuan to box. I like it very much! And the birthday time! I can't put it down the wallet my brother gave me. Take it when you take a photo with your brother! The inner monologue after the fishing fantasy in the fifth and sixth episode! Some of what you want is like a daydream, out of reach, and you only dare to secretly fantasize about it. If you can, do you want to do it simply, it's a hundred!" It's really sad to see the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" drinking at the banquet! When it came to the drunken showdown behind, my brother kept avoiding and couldn't go home. Xiaoyuan was really painful and helpless. Wei Qian, played by Qiu Yuchen, was also super great! It is especially suitable for people!

It's a toughness! Take care of the people who take care of their families!

He performed that his younger brother and sister were the first parents in his heart, but he was a dull and felt that he didn't deserve love... Strongly recommended!

Outstanding BL drama ... on of the best shows of the year
joncronin14 May 2024
Simply, one of the best shows you'll see this year. Begins with heartbreaking scenes of a single parent family suffering from the ravages of drug addiction, but then able to rebuild a family using compassion, caring, responsibility and love. When the now orphaned son and younger daughter decide to help, and take in, a young boy living on the streets, the drama takes on this wonderfully empowering story. It then develops into a truly heartwarming (and heart wrenching!) BL drama when the young boy come to realize his overwhelming love for his 'older brother'. How it develops to its conclusion is a remarkable feat of storytelling, acting, humor and sincerity. All handed with great taste, believable turns and twists and great satisfaction.

The actors are all wonderful, in their restraint, their pathos and completely honesty. Just a wonderful show.
