There’s a difference between organic diversity and forced "straight" relationships that exist to make things…
it’s not as black-and-white as you’re making it. Yeah, some western shows only include side gay characters for “diversity points,” but not all of them. There are side characters in tons of shows—gay, straight, whatever—that still have real stories and depth. Just because they’re not the main couple doesn’t mean they’re just there for decoration.
Also, saying BL is the only space that doesn’t treat gay love as a side dish kind of ignores the fact that a lot of BLs are made for straight audiences, and usually by straight women. And a lot of them—let’s be real—romanticize stuff like forced love, toxic relationship.
And honestly, if side gay couples in straight shows are just “background decoration,” then why is it suddenly a problem when a queer show has side straight couples as decoration? I have yet to see you make a comment regarding the main gay pair storyline or the lesbian one? Have u even watched the episodes ? Whatever i am done with you! Write to me as much as you want you wont get a reply bye !
I am liking this series so far but to be fair i haven't seen any hate comments herehate comments would be hating…
You must hate us bisexual people huh… because ever thought gay shows are not only consumed by straight and gay and lesbian people but we bisexual people also exists… well its a lifetime issue of people not even thinking about we bisexual people exist and we enjoy b/g pairing. Ignorant!

You do know that thailand produced 200+ bls last year? Korean has 30+ bl shows planner and two of them are coming out in April. Taiwan and japan continuously releasing bls when one is over and another one take that slot almost immediately! Girl/boy do you live under a rock? Do you need a list from 2016 to 2025 now there are nearly 1000+ lgbtq shows asian based? And please no matter which western straight show I start there are side gay couples! Really do your research first

She accused me of being straight person who is fetishing gay people. But sure I am a person of lgbtq community is bad person. What a joke you are! Thank you being an ally. The behaviour you are showcasing is what i already wrote about “ What’s even more frustrating is that I’ve seen this behavior repeatedly on platforms like mdl. Some straight women immerse themselves in queer content, but when real queer voices speak up, they’re either ignored or condescended to.” You proved my point! 🤣

It’s honestly ironic how she tried to use her straight identity to talk down to me—especially considering I’m actually part of the community she claims to support. But then again I dont use my sexuality as a weapon and to play victim card.
What’s even more frustrating is that I’ve seen this behavior repeatedly on platforms like mdl. Some straight women immerse themselves in queer content, but when real queer voices speak up, they’re either ignored or condescended to.
It feels like they’ve built a narrative around what they think the lgbtq experience is, and when someone challenges that, they get defensivelike they’re the authority. That kind of entitlement isn’t allyship.
They act like they’re the main character in a story that was never about them in the first place. Dumb behaviour if you ask me. 🥱

I better see you on the streets in front of the company that produced this series and protest the injustice rather than commenting in a useless place like mdl… all of you are saying the same things over and over again so I am going to say the same thing over and over again Thailand last year produced 200 bls koreas, japan taiwan and philipine and vietnam are producing constant amount of bls… and in west literally majority of show has queer side couples or as main… go do your research before writing things up because you clearly live under a rock. If straight shows can have bl or gl side couple so can queer shows.
The amount of likes certain comments are getting here is clear showcase how people will bomb this series no matter how good the series. The comments that are praising the series 0 to 2 likes where else all the hate comments are getting 8 to 10 likes 🤣🤣🤣
We do know what we want: a faithful adaptation that doesn’t mess with the heart of the original story or slap…
5 mins spent on the straight cp ruined the 85mins of gayness… i guesa straight people are are right to complain when straight show includes gay side couple. Thank you for teaching me a lesson from now on I will not find fault when the situation is reversed. Also your hate is so forced and fake its showing 😜

No adaptation is page to page similar. Secret Relationship also did their own thing but people loved it....all the "unnecessary"' scene showed us more about Hesse and Seung Won you know the main GAY COUPLE? Just say your issue is with the straight couple who got 5mins screentime hahahahaaa
Have you read the manga?? Because in the manga Hessu helping Seungwon to get jiyu is how he develops his feeling…
1. Why do we need the straight couple in the first place? Hee Su in class 2 is all about our gay boys, catching feelings for Seung Won. We don't need the storyline of the other cp. There are so many drama's with straight couples, they are already found in almost every genre. So, why should BL be the one to make space for them?
Ans: It’s literally 2025. Thailand alone produced over 200 BLs just *last* year. Korea, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam—every single year, they’re consistently putting out BL content, and the demand just keeps growing. Even Western media, which used to sideline queer characters, now regularly includes gay or lesbian side couples, and often in major roles.
So if your issue is that one storyline in *one* BL drama happens to feature a straight couple as a side plot, maybe ask yourself why that’s such a threat. Straight couples are *everywhere*—in every genre, every country, every channel. BL is one of the *few* spaces that centers queer love, and it's doing that just fine. One side couple doesn’t erase the central relationship. If anything, it reflects the fact that queer people exist in a broader world, not some isolated, queer-only vacuum.
If this is your biggest complaint, then respectfully… you might be living under a rock. Or just missing the entire point of representation and storytelling. 2. " The main focus in the Manga is Hessue and Seungwon and its the same in the series" You said it yourself bruh. They are our main storyline, so why can I feel Ji Yu and Chan Young overshadowing them?
Ans: So you are saying out of 90 minutes, the 5minsutes that's was given to straight CP is annoying you and spoiling your mood? I guess heterosexuls do have a right to complain when in a straight focused series gives 5 minutes of its attention to the side queer couple. Well this answers to your other issues as well. I am not going to talk to someone who can't form their own opinion. You have a nice day too!
Yet they are not talking about the main leads queer plotline not a single comment about them all about 2nd straight…
And according to some comments here in queer series there should be no straight couple...from now on if we see straignt people watchig a straight series where side couple is queer and they are complaining I guess we shouldn't view it homophobic and and support their disappointed because according to mdl peoeple in straight series the whole focus should be straight couples and in a queer series the whole focus should be queer couple....*facepalm* apparently heterosexuals and lgbtq relationship can't co-exists
Have you read the manga?? Because in the manga Hessu helping Seungwon to get jiyu is how he develops his feeling…
then why do you care if they changed side character from being just friends in the manga to a cp?just because they are straight? The main focus in the Manga is Hessue and Seungwon and its the same in the series... Have you ever thought about that. Are you that bored in life that you let others cloud your own thought process? If you have read the original source material and then complained it would have made sense but clearly you can't think for yourself.
I’m sure it’s those who don’t want a second straight couple downvoting this drama.yall will be fine
Yet they are not talking about the main leads queer plotline not a single comment about them all about 2nd straight couple who in total of 2 episodes has screentime of 5mins out 90mins 😂😂
The nitpicking some people are doing are so stupid!!! Following the manga you guys are mad… not following the manga you are still mad! I don’t think you guys don’t know yourself what you want
Mhm. I don't know, but this feels weird. Look, I wasn't okay with the addition of the straight couple at first,…
Have you read the manga?? Because in the manga Hessu helping Seungwon to get jiyu is how he develops his feeling for Seungwon. The series is literally following the original material lmao…
