I love the incorporation of the real life problems
Lovely Writer marks a milestone with mixing romance and real life problems of BL publishing industry. The humour is both fun and dark when thrust in front of the mirror.
Gene is a BL writer and writing is his bread and butter. Even though he wants to write more than BL, his publishing house forces him to write more BL with extreme explicit content often bordering NC (which I believe is the short form of non-con or non-consensual) because that is profitable.
One of Gene's story is picked up by a production house for drama series adaptation. And he is invited in the casting couch. There he meets Nubsib, one of the actors who is finally chosen as one of the main characters of his novels.
Nubsib takes an interest on Gene in the first meeting which Gene wants to thwart at first. But later his feelings grows and all hell breaks loose.
Lovely Writer shows a story from a writer's pov and I absolutely love all the side stories and aspects it brings along.
Gene's publishing agent, from a very humble background, dreams to become a writer as well but is not taken seriously. The shipping wars among fans and the hate to other characters. The homophobic parents. A young man is being called "Gay" because of his looks. A strong woman portrayal (which is good but could have been better) and the best part - one morally grey character called Aoey. Bruce Sirikorn ate up that role.
Lovely Writer talks and makes fun of all the shit and unnecessary drama regarding publishing industry, specifically BL, problems of shipping real people, problems of not realising that actors and the characters they play are different beings altogether, the forceful non-consensual themes in BL (I love when Nubsib protests the production crew that what they were suggesting was almost rape) , casting one gay artists for the sake of it because "representation makes the media profitable to fans" and toxic fan culture.
The only I did not like was the overbearing sound effects.
Overall, I enjoyed the drama. I would request more people to watch it. After all, it's freely available on youtube.
