Why bother with an actress when In Guk has the charm and charisma he needs right there within himself? Give the man a mirror and let the sparks fly. The only person who could possibly match his talent is himself
I don't even know what to say🤔 I definitely gonna watch this series but it has been so long seeing SEG in romantic…
Actors like Seo In Guk should stay far away from "romance." The genre is a poor match for their talents. They're better suited for roles that are more suspenseful, mysterious and intriguing
"... the "straight couple" added, aren't made up but existing characters/ friends of the BL couple just without…
I prefer to enjoy my BL or GL without "straight" interruptions. I'm more vocal about my complaints than you, that's my way of expressing my love for gay stories
Totally agree!Honestly, I would be disappointed as well if Heesu and Seung Won become side characters BUT I feel…
You and your buddies can go right ahead and enjoy this drama
I might or might not tune in, and you'll have to excuse me, I won't wave pom-poms or raise a glass to toast its commercial success. They inserted "straight" scenes into a gay story to keep the homophobes happy. I'm not having it. Gay stories are complete and worthy of being told on their own
At best, the "straight" scenes will be getting the fast forward treatment from me. At worst, they'll be facing the wrath of my keyboard in the comments section

Society won't do a flip-flop on gay content anytime soon. But that's no excuse for producers to butcher gay stories. They should've started from scratch, with a new story that blends the gay and "straight" elements they want. Instead, they lazily adapted a beloved gay story and spilled "straightness" over it like a drunk relative at a wedding spilling red wine (straightness) over the cake (gayness) and then trying to cover it up with toothpaste (excuses). The nerve, the gall, the impudence of it all!
Imagine the producers taking a "straight" story and giving two of its male characters a gay love story. The mainstream audience would cry about how "the sanctity of male friendships" was destroyed. They add "straightness" to a gay story and destroy the sanctity of male-female friendships, what, we're supposed to roll over and accept it? I won't let the homophobic majority have fun messing up our gay stories
I would have preferred a lesbian couple instead of a straight couple tbh. If 3/4 of the story is gay like the…
A lesbian second couple would've been the dream
It's time for Korea to stop playing coy with our favorite gay stories and make a choice. Either give us the gay goodness we crave, or take your half-hearted, straight-washed adaptations and put them back in the closet where they belong
I don't understand. What is going on and what are you trying to say?
"... the show is Sha good"
That's your opinion
This adaptation better not be as basic and homophobic as I suspect or I'll unleash my inner Internet villain in the comments section. You've been warned
People seriously love to complain lmao be happy this show is even seeing the light of day, it has taken FOREVER.
The real blessing would be if we didn't have to add in a "straight" storyline to get an okay from the homophobic powers that be. I'm not going to be happy or grateful for a half-gay, half-straight appetizer when I asked for a full-course, fully-gay meal

You couldn't be more right about these fans. They are experts at hating. They've questioned our intelligence, our sanity, even wished for our digital demise, and they call us "haters?"
I didn't insult them back, I'm letting their malicious behavior speak for itself
Pity many don’t understand our disappointment and want us to keep silent about while they keep praising unnecessary…
Some might be less than stellar, others unlock the secret to a thriving garden. Your plants will thank you with a beautiful dance of blossoms and greenery
Why are people appalled by sexuality ? it's erotic and it is art. Ya'll be watching different criminals play out…
"It does take talent to make an erotic scene"
The "talent" you need is the ability to breathe heavily and make exaggerated facial expressions. A plant could do that
"... in order to actually be credible"
The actors and actresses are too polished and well-rehearsed to depict the raw, spontaneous nature of "sex." Their performances feel artificial. They'd have to hire cameramen with shaky hands and set the lighting to "dungeon" to give it a realistic, credible feel
"The asian culture did cherish and treated sex as art"
I'm Asian, I don't treat "sex" as art
"... but i meant the crimes themseleves"
The real crime is how many actors and actresses endure the grueling task of faking pleasure so that viewers can get their jollies in the name of "art"
"People watch people immitate murder with no moral issues, what is the problem with immitating sex?"
"Murder" scenes are handled with care and sensitivity. They are depicted as being negative. Viewers aren't expected to approve of "murder" and the scenes make this position clear. Explicit "sex" scenes are depicted as being positive, without regard for their negative effects or implications. They're not given the same consideration and attention as "murder" scenes. Some viewers feel uncomfortable for that reason

Accusing me of using bots is the digital equivalent of accusing someone of having imaginary friends. Trust me, my friends are real, and they believe you're being ridiculous
Wait until you find out that the number 1 consumer of BL content is straight women. Guess straight men ain't getting…
BL is a genre that depicts romantic relationships between men. Unlike other forms of gay content that end tragically for the gay characters or couples involved, BL tends to focus on the fluffy, heartwarming parts of gay relationships
Basically, In Guk is too good for "romance"

People can react however they want to the adaptation. I'm standing firm on my "No Straight" policy
"I am ok with that"
I'm not okay with it, I'm counting my annoyances
We know the characters were present in the source material, it's their so-called "love line" that's made up and faker than a YouTuber's apology video

For most of history, people were having "sex" in smelly, lice-infested conditions. You consider it "art" because you have showers and deodorant
"Ya'll be watching different criminals"
Watching a "criminal" mastermind outsmart the incompetent police is more interesting than watching two people pretend to have "sex"
