Sigh

If you have to keep screaming "it's BL/gay!" from the rooftops, chances are it's not BL or gay

"Definitely will continue"

Why does your decision to keep watching invalidate others’ concerns?

What kind of BL? Right now, it’s men coexisting with the emotional depth of a corporate handshake

The manhwa doesn't depict "straight" or non-platonic interactions between Chan Young and Ji Yu, or are you referring to something else?

They looked at the source material and thought, "what if the story and the characters were unrecognizable and lost everything that made them special?" They removed the messy hair, the gay self-discovery, the gay parents, the second gay couple, the brightness

This isn't an adaptation, it's a slow, painful character assassination

You have the right to care and call out audience manipulation and cash grabs

Episode 1 wasn’t airing anywhere at that time

"Who the hell cares"

You cared enough to comment and complain about others complaining, so the real question is: who the hell are you trying to convince, us or yourself?

"It’s all fiction"

Apply that to your comment. It's fictional levels of missing the point

First impressions aren't everything

15 minutes* left on the clock for episode 1, and people are already pledging their eternal devotion and saying they "loved it"

The love’s forced and fabricated, it’s not just the hate that’s "forced"

*Countdown: https://imgur.com/tyfBG0F

You felt the need to list your BL credentials to defend this. Speaks volumes about the lack of quality

Quality "low budget shows" exist, but don't pretend this will be joining their ranks

Loved what? Episode 1 is an hour away

Kim Soo Hyun's side "backed their claims with factual proof?"

You mean that thing they talk about and can't show us?

Their "factual proof" was a sinister mix of "trust me, bro, we have evidence" and an assertion that Kim Soo Hyun had been lurking in the shadows and counting down the days the minor got close to reaching legal age to pounce on her

Nobody’s saying a comment equals a legal verdict

I'm saying people waste their time speculating on who a celebrity's next girlfriend/boyfriend will be. They sure as hell can discuss serious allegations

Abuse cases come down to one person's word against another

And it is everyone's business. Public figures profit from their reputation. That reputation is in question here, and people have the right to reassess their support for Kim Soo Hyun

Has it been revealed that Kim Sae Ron's family didn't dissuade her from continuing the "relationship?"

I was the kind of reserved teenager who followed the advice of my family. But that's not common. I've seen teenagers doing the opposite of what they're told and ignoring the voices of reason and experience. They'd threaten to run away or cut ties with their families if anyone intervened

Kim Sae Ron's family might've not known about the "relationship," or might've been uncertain about how to handle their teenagers' behavior until it was too late

What if Kim Soo Hyun monitored Kim Sae Ron's phone calls, emails, or visits to make sure she didn't say anything about the "relationship?" Or what if Kim Sae Ron was isolated from her family?

There are details that haven't been made public yet. The more people remain informed about this case, the more likely it is that a neutral party will feel obligated to investigate it and search for the truth

Exactly, families take every precaution they can think of to protect their loved ones and despite everyone's best efforts, tragedy occurs

Instead of dwelling on "why didn't the family speak up sooner?" or "where were they when this happened?," it's more productive to direct our energy towards finding the truth and supporting those affected by the situation

I've seen better production value in a middle school play. Or maybe it's me and I'm not the most positive person in the room
