 This is the first BL series from Jupiter Entertainment, a fledgling Hong Kong company who have been operating for little over a year. It's actually the first installment of their 'Love Spread' project and was originally titled 'The People Downstairs', a name it seems to have retained domestically and across some other Asian territories. It stars Jeremy Ho and Louis Lam as the unintentionally thrown-together couple Damien and Hayden, and Chun Hin To and Bosco Tse as Kelvin and Archie, previous high school sweethearts who now meet again under very different circumstances.     Synopsis: "Hayden, who has just moved to a new place, coincidentally helps Damien's grandmother and meets Damien in the process. The two individuals, who had no connection before, find themselves drawn to each other and start a complicated relationship after an unexpected kiss. Meanwhile, Archie reunites with his high school boyfriend, Kelvin, who is now married. However, the pair of them disregard their current circumstances and decide to rekindle their love affair again."Here's the MyDramaList page Teaser: Trailer: The series consists of six episodes and is set to premiere on Tuesday 18th July on YouTube. |

HK is not covered by the censorship from China, right? As far as I know it still has autonomy from mainland China until 2047, which was part of the agreement when it stopped being a British Dependant Territory in 1997. The Chinese have already reneged on parts of that agreement but I think all the media freedoms are still intact (apart from news outlets no longer being allowed to report on any dissent against the CCP). |

The individual stories are fine, but there is so little overlap between the two pairs. Felt like they could have just done two separate series instead.

Great they are pushing forward. Hopefully that this is just the start of HK BLs as they been pretty quiet while BL exploded around them in other Asian countries. I think Ossan's Love remake was the only recent HK BL.
I am glad they also identified the lack of interaction between the two couples as an issue. Hopefully that will be fixed in the full series
