I see your point.
But the chain of power is the same that the American show Hero with people more powerful than others because of what they can do. Calling them Alpha, Omega, or whatever you want is easy to do. But can we still call it Omegaverse? I mean, it has its rules, and the way the Omegaverse works. Like Sub/Domverse is inspired by it, PitBabe can also be an inspiration from the Omegaverse, but it is not like the original creation.
Is "Scary Movie" a comedy or an horror movie? Well, its inspired by horror, yet it's an other genre. I would call it a SuperAlphaVerse to me. Don't you agree?

First, if you wanna see it that way, it's free for your own imagination. After all, fanfictions exist for PitBabe too, So maybe you can write yours.

Second, a quick definition on Omegaverse :
"These manga are classified as Omegaverse, a genre that takes place in an alternate universe where there are six genders. In addition to being a man or a woman, you are also an alpha, a beta, or an omega: classifications based on precise physical and behavioral characteristics. This classification is often a hierarchical social status where alphas are considered superior, betas are ruled by alphas, and omegas are treated as inferior by all. Common Omegaverse tropes include omegas going into heat, attracting mates with pheromones, Fated Lovers, and male pregnancy"

Now on sub/dom:
"Dom/Sub-verse (Dom/Subユニバース) is a genre inspired by Omegaverse where instead of alphas, beta and omegas, there are BDSM-related Doms, Subs, and Switches alongside normal people who lack these traits. For those that possess them, these kinks are a part of human biology, with Doms needing to dominate their partners, Subs needing to submit to and obey them, and Switches having the urge to do both. Also known as Dom/Sub Universe."

Now, I said its Sub/Dom in the sense of 'alphas are considered superior, betas are ruled by alphas, and omegas are treated as inferior by all" that inspired the sub/dom universe. Dom are Alphas and Sub are everyone else. But, as I said, we don't see it in season 1. I think you only took the sex part of the sub/dom. lol

For the series, it is exactly what I have been saying, we will not miss the Omegaverse in the second season as it wasn't present. Apart from few points that can be explained by something else than Sub/Dom (now that you understand what I said), it will not be something we'll care for in season 2.

Hope I was clear this time!!!

Well, you may have missed a few points:
- The author's second book is not a sequel of Pit Babe 1, so the author took it off as it didn't fit. Because of it, he argued that the Omagaverse should also be removed from the drama. Babe can "smell" people with power. It''s part of his power. Plus, they wanted a baby but it wasnt really explicit on how.
And yes, Omegaverse is Sub/Dom, that's the whole point (but not in the show as it is not really an Omegaverse, as I said before). But maybe unfamiliar with it, so I suggest to read some mangas or books from Omegaverse. Be careful, some can be a little explicit!!!

"...we had an agreement with the organizer (I think they meant producers) that omegaverse must be cut out (...) Only the special power part remains. Which is really like that. There is no secondary gender system (I think this means omegas and mpregs).
But the word "alpha" is used as a name for a person with magical powers. (...) We tried to ask the organizers to change the names to prevent misunderstandings. But the organizers still chose to use this name. ...confirming that the content does not contain the secondary gender system of Omkwa at all."

"there were Alphas in the drama in the first season. There is also very obvious references to scent/pheromones right from the beginning. The novel itself does include Alphas and Omegas"
The Author of the novel said that Pit Babe 2 is not Omegaverse. I said, it doesn't matter as the first season wasn't really an Omegaverse world anyway. Yes, they talk about Apha's, etc... but it wasn't the thing that made the story. It was all about their abilities. Omegaverse is only about sub/dom. That's not the case in season 1 and will apparently not be the case in season2 either. So, what I mean is that people shouldn't focus on this and should only focus on the story because, to me, it never felt like an Omegaverse anyway. It is a fantasy story.

I think many of you are not really familiar with Omegaverse. You only know a bit, and only turned into the sexual aspect. But Omegaverse is a reference to wolves and the hierarchy among them. It has absolutely NO RELATION to the fact that a man can get pregnant. But yes, many Omegaverse use it often because of the sub/dom aspect, but not always. For Exemple BIG DRAGON was suppose to have male pregnancy (it's in the book yet not in the drama) but it's not an omegaverse. Other books or manga like "Boku no Kawaii Ninpu-sama", "Blood Link" and "Ayakashi Tsukai no Yome Sagashi" who is about DNA or interspecies relationships.
So yes, there was no Alpha or Omega in the drama in the first season, just the possibility of men becoming pregnant. Nobody release hormones that influence Alphas, or have heat, etc...
So please, learn a bit before saying that I'm wrong that we didn't see Omegaverse. We saw only one trait that can be adjusted as we want (superpower and abilities for example).

Well, apparently they will too!!! lol

It's funny they say "it's not omegaverse". I didn't see much of it in the first season if they didn't say it in the first episode. So it won't change anything anyway...

I am very disappointed. In the webtoon, the best friend disappear very quickly from the story to focus on the BL story. Here, we are on episode 7 and still, they are just learning about the straight couple. Yes the main character is BL, but the focus on his best friend's love story makes it like he's a side character of the story. It's like watching a love story on the side line without being included. In the webtoon, the love story of the best friends are not pushed so far, for the reader to see the connection between the two mains. Yet, here, I don't see it. One is a lier who instead of finding another excuse to free his best friend to her own love life, he keeps everyone think he loves her. On the other hand, the other one is so focus on pushing them together that he is completely oblivious that his best friend is a full straight guy who will never see him as anything than a brother. He just started now to realize that his feelings are fading?
I understand that some people may like it, but for me I'm like watching a car crash. In fact, I found Twinkling Watermelon more exiting in unrequited love story. It may not be BL, but the love stories were much more intense!
We can't blame the cast. They are acting perfectly and have years of acting already. But the director Park Kyung Min seem like he's not confortable with a BL story.
Unfortunately, with Korea getting closer to America, BL stories will be pushed aside more and more. Companies are just doing it to promote their young artists but don't really care about the story as long as it can be thought as BL. Just write a line to suggest it, and BANG... it's BL...
Of course, it will have a kiss or two, but you know... not the passionate kiss of lovers, but like a kiss for a dare when drunk.
Well, it's Korean BL so I never expect much since it's FilmK and Park Kyung Min first BL.
So I will see. is the ending gonna be as bad as I think?

First episode.... Nothing like the webtoon at all!!!

Loved this old manga. So funny. Hope the BL will be as good!!!

If you have watched the first part, you quickly realize that many issues have not been resolved. The second season is confirmed, but it was already talked about while finishing the first part. So, for those who "don't understand why", its because sometimes, to have the full story, you need more than one season. Not only by respect for the fans, but also by respect o the original story. Now, the hope is that they don't screw up!!!

Well, from what I saw on the trailer for the next episodes, it will get steamy...
However, the novel is very "expensive lifestyle" kind of novel. THEY, look like regular guys. So you call this "down to earth" but they are supposed to be flowing with money. After all, its a gang.
But they are very cute. The car scene that relace the toilet scene was funny. It could have been sexy, but they made it funny instead.

Ho, I believe you. I never said I didn't. Its just not like a full love kiss. When I kiss my boyfriend it's passionate. this was just... "oups, I kissed you!"

Queerbaiting refers to the practice of implying non-heterosexual relationships or attraction (in a TV show, for example) to engage or attract an LGBTQ audience or generate interest without ever actually depicting such relationships or sexual interactions.

Unfortunately, it's not the case here. Even if there is no physical contact, it is a love story. The focus is on those two characters relationship and no other element seems to intervene in their relationship appart from their own choices. 911 is more queebaiting than this movie. They don't push us to believe they are in love by making them acting like "bro", but they have a bond you only create with someone you love.

It's a bit of both I guess. They will show behind the scenes videos, and a short "conclusion" of the show. But it's mostly something done for the fan meeting. We'll certainly see this on YouTube soon after!

That's a peck, not a kiss!

What I like is that they are more "straight looking". In the Thai version, who would think Rain was attracted to girls ???
Japan will make a "cute" version I think. Certainly less sex, and the budget may not be the same either (it looks much cheaper than the Thai version). So I hope the cast will do an amazing job. I mean, I LOVE Japanese BL because it's always about emotions more than anything else.

And if you are human you shut the fuck up, because you have NO RIGHTS to speak for him. Not unless you are trans yourself. If he wants to, he will. But as long as he's happy, anyone who tries to hurt him by saying bullshit like this is dead to me and deserve nothing but the worse.
You have no love in your heart but hatred. You speak things by watching stupid people who made mistakes and blame others. They have psychological problems and will never have any sympathy from me.
To me, they are like children blaming others for the decision they made. And you, you condamne innocent people just because you hate trans. The only thing you have proven is how transphobic, person you are and I don't wanna hear anything more from you as you have nothing intelligente to show me. Trans exist for decades and nobody complained then. But now, we have this new trend? To me it's just pathetic. And YOU are nothing but a biggot to listen to lies. So, like many of those stupid Americans who voted for Trump, you are not intelligent enaugh to even continue a conversation with me!

Queerbaiting is linked to sex. Otherwise, it's just being a gigolo. Straight men undressing in front of gay men for money exist since the 1970s. Now it's on the internet and people starts seing it as Queerbaiting. But to me that not it. A straight guy pretending to be gay on dating app to beat them up, that's queerbaiting. It's a trap (from "bait"). This movie wasn't a trap. It's a love story between two men. "Queerbaiting to earn pink money"? Are you that superficial?
What I need to know id how YOU think this was a trap for gays? I mean, it's not an action movie, or even a fantasy movie. It's not a comedy, or, as I say in the big way, porn!!! So in what category would you think that is? Bromance? Can't be. Nobody write a book about their best friend and the experience they shared. But a straight man, or women, would for the person they love in regular movie. So why if it's in a BL it's not gay? I mean look at the society we live in, and the one in the movie. Do you think a straight man would write about another man openly?
To resume, yes it's a BL movie. I may have gone far with porn, but it was to make my point. Use word carefully. This is far from queerbaiting. You expected physical contact or maybe few kisses, but it's a movie that will be sold internationally. Many countries would ban it if is has any physical contact. They are not selling the movie as gay, but as a love story.

It's not porn, but the ligne isn't clear. Sometimes you don't need any contact show you to love someone. Some feel like it's not normal to want it with someone of the same sex. Yet, love is not something you can control. Of course, the movie doesn't show other things people like them could have done. After all, it's a movie shown in cinemas. So don't judge because you feel disappointed of the absence of physical contact. If it was a man and a woman, you wouldn't even think it was anything but love. Why not for them?
