sounds like something that can happen in real life with the current white house
exactly, so then you would know that it is plausible. my question is what part is propaganda and insulting to you. truth is stranger than fiction.
also, if you had actual substantial knowledge of the past in a global context, it seems as if you do not, you would not make such a vague statement with no tenue. hopefully with the things i have mentioned, you gain some.
#2 i asked you what part [of the show] was insulting. but your answers are above.
this isn't what i'm asking you. i do not have to answer this question because it's a digression but i will.
if i have a working understanding of history, esp the US and imperialism, in context then i am not taking propaganda at face value. propaganda in media would be having NK actually be the perpetrators and reinforcing that red scare. no country gets out unscathed here.
i digress, that's not my point, but history tells the truth. the show gives you plenty of literal historical facts, they mention what happened after 9/11, mention battles/fights with NK while we were allied to ROK, DEFCON levels (which i personally googled because I did not understand.) so this tells me that you do not have this knowledge, and should probably google.
there's also mediafactcheck which can tell you what pubs are not based in fact but propaganda (which can mean the stretching of history, manipulation...in terms of media/visual cues it is trying to persuade our minds to find the enemy of the tv show. this is not what the show is positing besides the fact that it's clearly anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist--in which case is fine because this is not a journalistic output but they are still retaining responsibility on their storytelling via the context of the world.)
currently rewatching this drama to pick up extra clues.
if you are not familiar with the subject matter and doubt its plausibility or are concerned with just how poorly it paints the military, US, SK, and the US-ROK relations i suggest googling.
so PLEASE do some research before you judge and make up your mind. having this background information before watching the show is very helpful, but they are writing this for a reason
So it turns out the reason for the bombing of the National Assembly was to build a new US naval base in South…
it's not propaganda at all. it is exactly the fault of imperialism. what part of insulting is this show to you? it seems that if you do not understand what this means, you really do not know about the history of imperialism in the US and our influence in ROK and the powers of every country fighting against the best interests of the population...
um this is actually great. you can tell they put a lot of time into it. i'm not totally paying attention but for a bl this is one of the few where i'm pretty engaged. surprising find!
i'm a harsh-ass critic and prefer boring hoity toity stuff for an intense story, and i don't think it's very possible to find in bl specifically marketed for this genre. this is one of the few (few few so i'm saying like 1 out of 4) where i can stomach it and can say wow if you want something fun and light with decent visuals and text definitely. i didn't love season 1 at all. shocked
i might watch the original the big draw of kdramas is the short format. america has diff standards of progressivism,…
i know what u mean! for tv i pretty much exclusively watch kdramas because of length and the feel of them (i am a film person, not a tv person) as opposed to longer form tv from th west. idk what it is aboout them but they really have helped me acualyl WATCH tv lmao
for people that are reticent because it's "bromance"....it isn't. they're homosexuals. or, they like men. they are in a relationship with each other. both men.
the scenes are really sensual and intimate, they're gorgeous together, and have beautiful chemistry. honestly i't s a lot of fun and the opposites attract is real. maybe i'll make a post about it cos it's so cheesy and corny but i look back on it fondly
also we know they literally cut out scenes before they were about to kiss or like get closer. thsi is as literal "we're like DROPPING HINTS we're IN A RELATIONSHIP" nothing about it was anything other tha trust and love
Conflicted here: if I'd gone off the reviews alone, I wouldn't have watched this, and now that I have, it was…
yea i'm actually pretty surprised, this is more intimate than a lot of bl shows and it's clear they're together and in love. the way they look at each other is insane. it's actually pretty interesting considering i don't find BL to be an amazing feat in media but this show had a lot of energy and they have crazy chemistry. you see the minute they fall in love.
I loved this drama. I did a video review on my channel i anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLJCBqMlmk8
hopefully you got this message, i will finish the video but you're so cute and i agree. you seemed to have fun in talking about it and i think that's why this show is so great
this drama is absolutely bonkers and i'm really sad that it's at an 8 because i feel like instead of leaning into the absurdity people felt awful about it. i'm gonna rewatch it soon
thank god the drama is fun as hell!
