its really not for us to decide if they should or should not be upset with blatant tax evasion by their top 1%.
Its their country, and they pay tax there
I mean how would you feel if you paid more tax because he didnt.

will the Koreans forgive him and forget

From previous articles it sounded like he disagreed with the NTS decision that it was tax evasion. So now he has admitted liability and paid up.
I think its this is the best way for him to deal with it - admit fault, take responsibility, and move on.

The question is will the Koreans forgive him???

love his music

"i honestly wonder if boston ever loved Nick "

Its a good question. I dont know if that type of character can actually love.

When I watched season 1, i felt like he did have feelings and he came close, but love is not enough for him. He is selfish and more interested in new challenges/things and this part of his nature would always come first. Boston knew that about himself.

I mean you can love and be selfish, and manipulative and cheat and hurt the ones you love. I mean its not "love", but from the character point of view he still experiences feelings for his object of desire. Maybe he loved Nick enough to let him go.

I am not entirely disagreeing with your points re couples .

The writer of Only Friends wrote from his experience, and because of that, there was sincerity. I dont know if you will agree but season one has a different feel to the current version and its because of the writer.
The couples also dealt with more serious issues. Thus, there was also more development and growth of the characters even if 2 couples did end up with each other.

This current version feels more light weight. Im not sure what kind of growth the characters will have in this version but the issues they are dealing with are not traumatic enough.

its the GMM formula which plays it safe, makes money and pleases fans - but in most cases it sacrifices quality.

bl dramas being produced feel more like they are indulging fans (service ) and wrapping it in a tv show. The couples starring in a drama are not acting the script, but rather "performing" for their fans (or maybe its just bad acting).

It controversial but If I was not a bl fan, then most bl dramas are really not that good or interesting on their own - like being objectively good irrespective of the bl tag. Dont get me wrong there are some great bls, but the majority are now into pleasing fans first.

I disagree. I think the name "Dream on" is extremely suitable.
The fans can only "Dream on" that it will get more interesting and messy.

this GMM kindergarten playground has secured fencing for the actors, and monitors behavior to prevent these minors from doing anything unruly outside of the carefully defined boundaries.

Needless to say, script, dialogue, plot have been toned down for the safety of everyone concerned - fans and actors.

this is "Only Friends" the children's version, toned down for fans of the fixed ships

yes - the fans of the cp do not want cross ship kissing. So they are catering to them instead of focusing on telling a good story,

It may be called "Only Friends" but its just dreaming on. Its a poor imitation.
I see some people are waking up to the reality that its lacking and underwhelming.

They have appeased the cp fans and sacrificed the story, and character development. The dialogue and plot is shallow and immature.

How did they find a way to make Boston boring? Even the actor playing the role seems bored.

I like AouBoom and would like to see them play messy roles in future.

That is despair at your circumstances. I think that circumstances can push a lot, actually most of us over the edge. His maybe temporary, and created by external factors. I dont know enough to make judgment and we are not trained medical experts to do so. Thus its not fair to label him.

There are some people who have a chemical imbalance, and/ or other issues and their mental health does not change with circumstances.

I hate that its being compared to the original /Season 1 because they are in different leagues. GMM took the original, and used its "successful" bl formula to water it down and achieve a safe return on its investment.

I really wanted to like it, but the writing, the character development, and the plot do not have depth. It feels performative. Only Friends had a story to tell. Only Friends Dream on is couple driven project, to increase GMM shareholder value.

I also think the budget and production seems cheaper (maybe somebody with technical expertise could give more information).

Sure its popular but so is mcdonalds - but it doesn't make it quality.

did you join mdl on 29 march 26 just to hate on this show?

Can you explain why this one is better and improved, by doing an analysis or the two and substantiating.
Back it up by using your intelligence - or are you just hot air?

" this one kicks first's seasons butt in every regard"

Can you explain WHY by doing a proper analysis.

Why?

Exactly.

thank you. The intonation (i think thats the word) stands out to us who don't speak the language.
