Is Min Hyuk a bad person? Why what did he do? And how does his story end? What about the mysterious heiress (…
Well, Minhyuk wasn't "bad" but his insecurities, inferiority complex and unsolved past conflicts of low self-esteem made him make some bad decisions. He had a crush on SY but it wasn't until he noticed that KangWoo was in love with her that he "followed" his feelings. He forced himself into the picture many times with FL, even when she was clear about no having the same kind of feelings for him. He even told KW's mother about their relationship knowing that she will make a fuss about it and in the flashbacks they showed that, when they were kids, even so the entire family tried to compensate the neglect of his parents, MH was jelous of KW because he always had his parents by his side; to the point of been happy when people diss KW because of his weight. So, his jelousy was out of control at some point. In these las episodes (15 and 16), however, he put his head on his shoulders and go back to the good path. For me, the writter pass so much innecesary time trying to justify MH's actions and his change of heart, when he already lost the charisma he had in the first half of the show, at least for me. So many scenes for him, even showing the events that lead him to runaway from being practicizing in a real hospital. For JM (the stalker girl) she was one of the daughter of a rich man with one of his misstress. JM maintains both (her and her mother) with the money she recieves from her father, that's why her mother make her go to dates in ex change of money with rich old men (aka prostitution). That's why she feels sad and lonely: her father and sibblings seeing her as a leech and as a competitor respectively; and her mother as a bank account. Accidentaly she met with SY and she is the only one who showed some love and caring, so she made everything to get closer to her and helped with her life. In the end she seems to fullfill his goals and go on by helping others, not before confronting her abusive mother and stop it from the core. Neverthless, she continued seen and visiting Joo family as they remaind friends
Well, it finally ends. My rating was a 9/10. Yes I saw this just for the supporting characters I love them. The four co protagonic couples were awesome, and they deserved more screentime. The rest of supporting characters (psychitrist, gay model/actor, gay mean student, envious trainee, stalking girl, elders and the personal of the school and HS Ent) were perfect, always on point. Their acting was excellent. Now, the leads, their acting was very good (I liked very much both SY and KW and hate MH), I think they fit exactly for their roles, BUT, the writting was the problem for me. The lead story was so cliché, dense, so bad driven, so awufully developed that sometimes it made me lose my mind. Boring and uninteresting! So many innecesary scenes of MH when that space could have been filled with the story of the others couples. That's why I discount one point, the bad writting with the story of the leads, except episodes 15 and 16; and the good writting but lack of depth with the stories of the rest of the characters. Not how they were written, because you could see each characters' particularities (that's a good writting with the description of the characters and excellent representation and interpretation from the actors), but the flaws were present in how the writter developed their stories, the pacing. Just for that, it is a 9.
So the three half brothers are gay, sons of a rich family and the story is about how they deal wih the conflict between their filial dutties and their personal aspirations and love desire... that's what I get from your traduction!! Well, it seems interesting. Until now it doesn't look like a typical BL.
Can somebody tell me if this is bromance o bl or subtle bl hidden in bromance? I don't care if there is kisses or more, I'm asking if they hinted at you that there is a romance or not...
First of all as I see to episode 10 (19-20), I love Won Jae and Kang Hee; Won Seok and Ho dol, Joo Hee and Seo Jun; and Mi Kyung and Hyun Soo romances!! Love them, and I wanna see more of them in screentime!! Really, I'm watching this just because of them. In particular, Won Seok and Ho Dol, oh my God, that other student was really evil, mischevious, and traitor. How can a gay man do something like that to other gay man out of jelousy, helping homophobes to bully someone, knowing the society they are in? That was really low, but, good luck, second brother will do some justice as we see in the advance of next episodes. WS looks really cold and indifferent on the outside, but deep inside he is warm and cozy, a lovely human being, and I think Ho Dol with his pureness, sillyness and innocence will melt that "steel" outside and reveal that wonderful person. Then, there is First Brother and First Sister, I just love them, they are so opposite, she's so direct, confidence and independent; he's cunning but in a good way, good talker, warm, strong, I just love them!!! The minors, Joo Hee is WAAAAY TOO MATURE than Seo Jun, she has to, she's practically alone in this world, her sister is just so much and she doesn't have her parents anymore, so in her case, life made her grow up really fast. Seo Jun is still a child, but I think when the time comes, he will be the human being he needs to be to face life and love. And the comedy couple, I JUST LOVE THEM!!! Specially Mi Kiyung!!!. Now, the leads for me, I repeat, FOR ME, they act really good, for me, they have chemestry, for me, they did a good job with their characters, the problem is the writing. The wirter is not doing a good job with their story, because is not interesting, they are good and I love them, but the writter didn't developed their story really well, She did a waaaaay more good job with side couples!! Also, they have some social topics that are more interesting in their stories (homosexuality and discrimination, female empowerment and love, hate comments and psycological traumas, coming to age, or simply comedy). The leads, is just one more in dramaland, almost with the same formula but without a good developement!! In the last place, Minhyuk, for me he was a charming place at first, but now, it's just a pitty guy who needs to resolve his childhood insecurities first. It was destroyed. If he mainteined that personality of the first half of the show, he would have been a good candidate for girl stalker (a lovely character with the most dark story of all of them, really well made it). But now, I don't know. Let's see what happens this week. Minhyuk is like the real antagonist so far until this part of the show. I don't like him. Something at the begining told me "mmm he is rare, too good to be true" more when he "accused" the FL with the plant issue, it was like "Is he serious???!!" But now, I see my intuition was right. I loce this show, maybe it needs some adjustements with the lead couple to make them more credible, but for me, they are good, they have something! P.D: I saw chemestry between FL and Second Brother just as what it is. A brother and sister's bound. I'm gonna say, for me, this is on porpuse, because as a gay man he's more in contact with her feelings, also, he's older and has to mature fast because of the death of their parents, plus, the fact he's gay in a society like Korean's. He needs to be really stronger, building up a confidence and trust in himself to face any problem. That's why he seems so cool and indifferent on the outside, he has to be like that in that society. Say that, he is overprotective of his sister for what happened with their parents, to prevent of what will happen when she find out about that night. Those are my thoughs on why their relationship is more close and have more chemestry. I think they have it correctly, it doesn't look more than what it should be.
The message is not that if you end up working hard you will end up dead. Because after Yu Xi Gu died Xiang Hao…
Yes , he succeded, but ended up with a astronomic depression. He can't go on. He even mentionated that he will go to The Himalayas to reunite with him like, dude, are yoy talking about suicide? And the posibly girlfriend?? The parents push for it? What a insesitive enviroment for him!! She failed to do it because she wrote awfully the last 2 episodes, if she would have written it in a different way maybe it could be better. Still sad, but better and well-driven!! But no, she just fucked it up. And now there is this plagiarism accusation. The only good thing here were the actors. Everyone was perfect in their roles, excellent, they brought to life awesomelly to this characters and made magic!!
I want more scenes between FL second brother Won Seok and Ho Dol (university student and private tutor). Yes I know what happened to the actor, but I really expect that they would have filmed almost everything of their story!! I'm dying for them to be a couple!! I want to see more of first brother Won Jae and Kang Hee their relationship will be awesome!! And kuddos for the stalker girl, God, what a sad life, she has a monster as a mother, how can you do that to your daughter??? Treating her like a prostitute, beating her because she didn't sleep with that disgusting old man?? It's so low!!! Poor girl, she needs happiness, she needs to be loved!! Looking forward to all these stories. The worst character in the storyline is Hyun Soo, he's funny, but in the story is kinda annoying!! I really love the other 2 male leads and the 2 female leads!! At first Min Hyuk for me, was the most "meh" character, but now he is like a charming prince, and I feel he will be perfect for the girl stalker, he is the kind of man who can give the love, tenderness, sweetness and respect she needs in her life. This week was awesome!!
I am really confused now because of the rating. Should i start watching or not?
I think is a good comedy!! I think the way they treat the characters is unique, because in fact they give supporting characters the necessary space and developement. The plotline is somehow common but interesting and is a direct satire of the prejudices and beauty standards in korean society, it's a critic of themselves!! The message behind all the drama and comedy it's beautiful and for me, it speaks really good about some social issues and taboos in their country!! My recomendation is "give it a try". Moreover, I love all episodes as for now, for me, the writting is very well done!!
First of all..this drama so far is freaking funny. Also, I kinda hope the tutor for the younger brother will be…
Yes I hope so too!! I was a little sad for the way second brother treated him but I understand it. Neverthless, I was infuariated in the scene that shows how his college partners treated him. Just beacuse is "not beautiful enough". It's like, c'mon!! He's not a flower boy but it's fine. I know this supposed to be a critic of korean society and their beauty standards. So I wait for a good love story for them. To the college student to be worhty and second brother to be able to love someone for his feelings and his flaws and inside battles of him for what he loves!! It will be really cool to have a gay couple and moreover, this couple which have so anatgonist components!!
Sadly, A few moments ago, it was annunced he was discovered death in his house. RIP, in this last proyect he was portaying a gay character with prominent role, the drama I think is already filmed, but it's up to the production if they will still show it!! His story was the most interesting!!
Sun Bo is surprisingly mature, a side of him that he really only show to his beloved Zhi Gang. Plus he can make…
I don't think so, he's very mature to his best friend, he was always there supporting him and giving him some good advices!! I think it's like we all human beings. We are joyfully, the we are serious, we make fun, cry, love, hace fears or have courage. That's why this series it's so wonderful. Their characters act like real people, with so many dimensions, and colours!! It's wonderful. P.D it's just an opinion!! Not tryna to fight with you
One of the things I love the most about this show is the parallel between Hao Tings parents and his relationship…
Yes!! I saw that too! Hao Ting is the same as his dad. And Shi Gu is the same as Hao Ting's mother. They say men look for a partner who's the same as their mothers and women do the same as their fathers. But I didn't think it could apply to same sex couples jajajaja I luuuv it!!
I'm just gonna say: I luuuuuv it!!! The five lead roles are perfect!! For me they are so good in comedy!! The 2 main female leads are phenomenal!! So funny and natural for me!! The 3 main male leads are good enough!! AJH and his secretary and friend have some good facial expressions and they are very funny in their scenes!! I didn't see or feel AJH stiff at all, I saw him really natural. Ironically, Goo Won for me is the more weak of the three, not because he is bad acting, but it's his character, maybe we will see more of him in the next episodes, but he is good in that character, it's just for me is the least funny for me. The brothers, oh my God, they are awesome as the playboy, the cool and distant gay bartender and the impulsive and fearess idol trainee. The three are awesome!! And yes they are funny too. Kang Woo's parents and grandmother are superb, funny and cleaver, especially mom and grandmom, they are so good and intelligent jajaja!! And the others, the Dr, the homeless, the student, Kang woo's older sister, they are really good in their characters. It's interesting, there's a big cast, so much characters, but we got to know the most important characteristics of each of them. The possibly gay love storyline, ended up making me definitely fall for this show. It's funny, have a good pace and for me is very very VERY WELL acted!! Kudos for all the people working on the show!! I will keep on watching this!! Lately, its more common to see gay storylines in the dramas, more developed, and more accepted!! That's a good step forward!! I think in a couple of years we will have our first gay leading couple in a korean drama!! Well, we already had one in Life Is Beautiful in 2010, and it was so precious!! But since then we have little to nothing about it!! Now, we have another wave of that, (Love alarm, Moment at 18, Be melodramatic, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, etc etc)
Yes!! I already saw the 2 episodes (I mean 4 episodes) and yes there is a potential gay love story there!! Yes, the middle brother is obviously gay, I think he runs the gay bar, not just a bartender but I dunno. We will see what they do aboutit. On the other hand, I really like it in gral., this drama is so freaking funny. The female lead is awesome in comedy, and AJH is really good. He has some good facials expressions, and he is funny in some moments too jajaja I love the drama!! That and the fact there will be some gay characters and with a love story, with so much importance in the drama, make me fall for real for this!!!
P.D: I saw chemestry between FL and Second Brother just as what it is. A brother and sister's bound.
