oh man, I'm watching The Other Half of Me and You and let me tell you, I don't know if I like this. Because they completely reverse everything... which should be fine? But as one commenter said on ep 5 on YT, "it's hard to see a boy as a girl". That is, if we completely reverse the societal roles, it's apparent how misogynistic our world really is. This series makes me sad, rather than happy for the couple. /sighs

hi Arclei, wanted to ask you if you already submitted the entry page for this mini-drama?

I still can't find it anywhere on MDL. :(

I'm watching Love and Leashes right now... omg what

This one is very informative. I learned a lot watching this movie. I loved it too : MDL pinned it on my top rated movies for 2024. The actors are great and  the one playing ML is one of the best kissers out there. All his kisses are believable in every drama that I have watched. Enjoy.

I find it interresting to see a different version of the regular tropes. I did not watch it but I take my ticket.

The last drama with that RR positioning was "Her Phoenix Majesty" for me, but the script was not good enought in my views. "Little miss sunshine" ML and Cold Warrior FL.

It's definitely something. I knew about bdsm before... let's just say that the feminists don't think it's a good idea. I could say more on this but I'd rather not.

You see, I think costume drama would work better than modern for this type of drama. Although I guess I just don't like the actor in The Other Half of Me and You because he's not that good looking.

Since I'm bi, I tend to evaluate whether I like both actress and actor and it's fun, but not necessarily when I deem the actor to be lacking or either one of them is not my type. 

But I understand because I'm not much of a beauty myself lmao

So, I don't really like the ML from this drama... although he's funny, I'll give him that. The FL is stunning.

Before that one, my only reference was "50 shades of grey" ( which I did not watch ). So basically I was an ignorant on that matter. 

No wonder feminist don't like it. It seems dangerous. I cannot count the number of corpse scenes I saw in serial killer/ thrillers  shows  featuring BDSM victims. I believe there was one in "seven" with Brad Pitt.

I am sure a lot of us viewers prefer handsome/ beautiul lead actors. For instance I watched the first 2 episode of "Dynamite Kiss" (rich man/poor woman). I was mezmerised by the beauty of the actor and the actress. Oh My... such a threal to watch. So I totally get what you say.

Yeah it's Very Bad. I didn't know there were safe ways to do bdsm... and also I've never seen 50 Shades of Grey and don't plan to either. I don't like male doms as much as female doms. But even if femdom, it would still be Bad if things got out of control. Even if I've seen this movie and liked it, I am still on the fence about it all.

That being said, I just finished it and gave it a 9. It could fit the "questionable themes" list of movies I am developing. And I did like that it's RR. If it wasn't RR, I might not have seen or enjoyed it as much. It helps that they're both hot and go well together, great chemistry.

Surprisingly I like K-movies and K-dramas if they're BL/GL/RR, so I guess I only have a problem with traditional het series. Those are quite boring for me and I think that's a thing for all MDL countries, not only South Korea.

hmm interesting. Took one look at the poster and based on that alone, I don't really like him. She's real pretty though.

I don't know why, but most men in general leave me unimpressed (even if they're conventionally pretty). As for women, same thing usually but without the general fear and disgust that men provoke in me. I may be indifferent most times. It is what it is.

But give me Xiao Zhan all day everyday and I'll be happy. He's good looking and has the ingredient that makes me personally want him. I'll know at a glance if I like someone... idk why. But then again, this might not be a crush. Just limerence? I hate that term but all my crushes have been unrequited. It's quite a pain, so I went "let me just watch people fall in love on screen and never try that myself again". This works until I find someone again, be it irl or celeb. Matters not, but it's a quite exhausting state to be in.

Uhm, idk where I wanted to drive this convo at but it fell off a cliff for sure. Ignore this lol

Same here.I remember in "seven" the guy was hanging upside down in the dark. At first it had the form of a beehive and then we undersdood that it was someone and not bees but flys. How creepy

Totally agree. I am tired of dumb FL and bad script, generally speaking. I tend to watch shows with RR or RR elements. Or else it is boring. 

This photo's title is "Begin Again". Is that an RR drama? Just curious because the photo's super nice

Dear friend ROMCOM IS COMING BACK with this show. I watched the first 2 episodes 3 times, because it iis so hilarious, sassy , visually beautiful ( budget wise) and the leads have firery chemistry ( also because of directing).  

I also did not like the poster but when i read in the sumary that FL pretends to be a mother to keep her job meanwhile she has the attraction going on with ML her superior. I wanted to know how that would unfold. And for the cast. 

I remember a MDL user bio where it as written : "I watch romance drama because I don't have romance in my life".  The sentence was very acurate because it feels  good watch those  great romances.

haha yeah, that's true. I don't have romance in my life. At this point, I got used to it. In my early 30s and never had a proper relationship, nor dated around, no hook-ups nada. Watching people fall in love on screen is my favorite pass-time though. ^^

Alright, I'll check out that drama, maybe it's good for me, too.
