Softening up to the person you're dating and getting comfortable to express your feelings to them doesn't have anything to do with femininity tbh. And my point is that YJ was never really unhappy with being what's traditionally considered "masculine".

TBOY was also directed by the same person and I didn't see sth like this in there. I understand that he put the actors under pressure to act like this as a stylistic choice to capture the dark atmosphere of this drama but I don't really like the outcome.

All the toxic yaoi bait had me thinking of an svsss twist for this story...A viewer who finds this drama an absolute doo doo pile transmigrates into the fl's brother's body (the scumbag villain) and is slowly hit with the awful reality that the crazy obsessive alpha man of a ml is actually falling in love with him (who abused and tortured him btw) instead of the girl 😭

what did I just read...she didn't have a problem with her gender expression. That's just who she is and it's totally fine lol

may god have already put a delicate and androgynous pretty boy who isn't in war with himself about stupid gender roles somewhere in the universe, waiting for me to find him 🙌

This easily eats so many full length detective idol dramas up and it's queer as hell

bc cdrama peoducers hate women and whd is a child who will start throwing tantrums if he's billed 2nd to a woman

well people can have different opinions maki✌🏻

I'm so seated the theatre employees had to drag me out of there btw

TBOY is still the best tbh. Like yeah this is fancier and darker and edgier but the budget kind of replaced the heart and the acting is very awkward 😭 litterally every single actor in this show stands super stiffly in front of the camera and recites their dialogues like a robot and I feel like the director just told them to do that so that they'd look their hottest in douyin edits. It started bothering me so much after a couple of episodes bc it looks like every actor is in PAIN trying not to move their face and body at all.
And btw where did the insane chemistry between pxr and zsa come from?? Like I genuinely lost my mind watching their 5 minutes of screentime tgt 🗣

Glad cdrama fans are finally starting to clock the fact that whd has too much fragile male ego and his fanbase consists of a LOT of unhinged woman haters. You'd get grounded by his fans if you said this like 5 months ago. I hope we get to openly call out the many other male liuliangs in the industry who are exactly like him 👋🏻

And abt this drama, the styling and costume design is just boring 😭 I agree that the queen's wardrobe probably has the only good pieces of clothing in this show but everything else is so tired it drives me crazy.
HJ is such an ostentatious and attention loving character and litterally everything she wears is the most common "quiet luxury" trending outfits in sk right now. It's kind of shocking as well to see color analysis obsessed korea make such poor color choices for iu who looks the best in vibrant colors and dress her in dead pastel colors and nudes and beiges that wash her out 90% of the time!! Like even her supposedly "big" princess gown was nude💀 They kept presenting her outfits as if they were shockingly over the top and gorgeous but she was wearing like a boring red suit or whatever lmao. I've seen so many ppl say IU looks too cute for this kind of a char and that she can't pull it off but I firmly believe it's an styling issue! We all know iu CAN pull off a diva and she has done it in a way that can't be ourdone when her hair and clothes are styled accordingly and actually distinguish her from the real life IU!! (yes I'm talking about hotel de luna)
And about the hanbok inspired
modern clothing?? Just dissapointing. They tried with the palace uniforms and the prince's outfits but despite the many possibilities and all the room for creativity, it just didn't land and ended up being the boring minimalist train wreck that has plagued global fashion right now. And tbh I really believe fashion would have taken a very different route in sk if monarchy existed and if the royal family made as much influence on popular culture as this show indicates! So I wouldn't really imagine the fashion trends in the extension of joseon dynasty to look exactly like what we see in sk right now! To make it short, the lack of creativity is dissapointing.
As I said you can look up the art in goongs' manhwa or even the princess hours drama and see how creative one can be if they take traditional elements and combine them with modern fashion to make stellar pieces. With their budget, they could even rent a miss sohee gown and have one of the characters wear it in the ball since she also designs breathtaking couture inspired by hanbok and traditional korean art but they just lost the opportunity...

Here you go! Foud it under a pile of dust lol

Maybe they shouldn't bc I'm gonna take those crumbs and become greedy for them to get paired up in another drama and that is just unlikely to happen 🗣

I was really happy abt this reunion since I was obsessed with this couple when I was a teenager but I'm really gonna sit in a corner and cry rn like wdym he r4pes her in the show...like I do love a good thriller but did it really have to be THEM to portray this dynamic out of all ppl?? I knew it wasn't gonna be romantic and I was okay with it but this is genuinely hurting my feelings 😭 It's also quite shocking bc it's an mbc drama lol

Hate the lost potential of a costume design in this drama so much I can write paragraphs about it. And funnily enough, I realized this is the same director who worked on AOS, for which I also wrote paragraphs complaining about the awful costuming and hairstyling lol.
I just keep looking at princess hours' manhwa panels on pinterest and yearn for what we could have had....

yeah ofc user lizzy blocked me...talking about "pushing the feminism propaganda" bc FINALLY a director decided to actually respect women and stay loyal to originally female centric novels he adapted while the industry is butchering these novels left and right by watering down the female characters in favour of male chars.
Thank you dir zqj for believing in the ability of actresses and women's stories to carry dramas and engage the audience. You successfully proved every single producer who ruined woman centric novels bc of their misogynistic prejudices WRONG ^_^

I hope this director keeps pushing the feminism "propaganda" to piss y'all off. Amen 🙏🏻

I hope this director keeps pushing the feminism and girlboss "propaganda". Amen 🙏🏻

xyl's acting is so soooo bad I genuinely feel guilty about any mediocre idol drama actor I've trash talked 😭 like he somehow can't even SMILE without looking creepily ai generated??? omfggg how can someone who actually made their way into the ent industry not have a scrape of skill or talent to be on camera??? When do these men learn that good looks are just not enough???
