I'm at episode 09 and considering dropping cause I read some ppl say there's homophobia in a few episodes ahead. Honestly, it's 2024, I can "understand" Chinese censorship, but blatant homophobia? No thanks.
First off I'm sorry that this show is so triggering to you. Recently watched one that triggered me because they…
Thanks for your kind message! I usually don't keep much track of the shows I watch here on MDL, but yes, Thai BLs are getting better in depicting LGBT issues. Even Korean BLs are getting better in this sense too. I was frustrated cause I think JH and AJ weren't thinking about DH at all, because "love" while DH can't even have the same thing as a closeted gay person.
JH is a terrible brother. I'm sorry, but as a LGBT person I cannot sympathize with him at all. Some people have already said that what they (JH and AJ) are doing to DH was really underhanded as JH didn't know the marriage was fake. But AFTER learning about it he feels butthurt cause they didn't tell him? WTF the marriage was something to protect DH's secret in the first place, of course AJ wouldn't tell him, if she did she'd be a terrible friend. AJ was not forced as JH implies to DH, she agreed to all that. There was a f*cking contract for god's sake. I hate JH character so much cause he's NOTHING but unsupportive of his gay brother. And he wonders why DH hasn't told him about his sexuality. Yet JH makes it looks like DH is selfish cause he is FORCED to be in the closet?? Hello, conservative Korean society? Do people think its cool to be on the closet? Do STRAIGHT people have ANY idea of how stressful and terrible it is to have to hide your loved ones from anyone? Let's not talk about same-sex-marriage, but even introducing your partner to your friends/family. It restricts your FREEDOM. You can only love in secrecy. This aspect is never mentioned in this show. On top of all that there's the stalker ex making DH extremely anxious of being outed, and I'll not even start on the villainous stepbrothers. I'm really upset because I started to watch this show to see how they'd develop a gay character as a main character in a major K-drama, but it is outright homophobic.
