Umm guys this is not a drill, but official post. Wild considering both pairs had relatively well doing shows even during this year. o_O But for the artist I hope this will give everyone to chance to pursue new opportunities and directions for their career if they still want to continue in acting.

(poll on p. 3211)

It's a bit of a heart (nostalgia, especially for my first Joong/Dunk experience "Star In My Mind", which totally captivated me at the time) vs. head (respect for actors) thing, but after consideration, I voted for "not affected at all".

In addition to my guiding principle of respectfully treating actors the way I'd want to be treated if I were in their position, it's also because of my faith in "creative destruction", i.e. the natural process of the old making way for the new, which could potentially be even better.

And as an enthusiastic re-watcher, I can always re-watch (re-re-re-watch?) "Star In My Mind".

Just finished today's final episode 11 of the charming and delightful "Popular Serizawa Acts Weird Around Me", which I've totally loved since episode 1. Now I have to make a tough decision: Is this my favourite JBL of all time? I'm thinking about it.

This one definitely goes on my future re-watch list.

Last night, I was crying while watching edits of AouBoom and JoongDunk when suddenly, a TikTok that had nothing to do with them (it was like a motivational video to start the morning) popped up. The sentence that stayed with me was : "Some things fall apart so better things can come together." 💜

I am gone from here for some days. I unsubscribed but in some days or anytime when I am a little better I will certainly return. It won't be that long I just notice that if I am confronted with the topic over and over again I don't think I can move on that way. Mqybe I will write again tomorrow but I have to see how I am feeling.

Take the time you need 💜

I love all four of them, but I'm especially sab about Aou and Boom. I love their chemistry so much and I was super excited for their new series 😭

LueurArcane:

Im one of those who want bl actors to mix when acting, depending on the show

I totally agree. That’s why I like it when BOC says their actors are compatible for shipping with one another. In my opinion, that stance really takes a lot of the pressure off from fans, especially the ones who mix up fiction and reality. Plus, it opens up opportunities for their artists to grow individually.

Still, I have to admit I get sad when announcements like this pop up, because it usually means we won’t get to see those actors working together again. I was especially rooting for Aou and Boom. I’ve always loved their acting and was so excited for their new series.

Indie Art Girl:

I see lots of possible and very valid reasons for splits to happen.

I'm with you on all of that. The only thing I'd add is the pressure and expectations from the agency/company.
