2gether all over again... The issue is Chimon cause Perth has shown us several times he has chemistry with anyone, as long as his co-star makes an effort. Here, Chimon can't even fake interest. Why is he even acting in a BL?!
I am so happy but also stressed as I feel like it's the calm before the storm. Ray and Sand getting together in…
Sand's ex is the guy who went to Top's appartment tonight. The one wearing glasses. Yeah I don't think SandRay will have a happy ending. They way they talked about death tonight... I'm so stressed!
Unpopular opinion but I couldn't take the NickBoston scene seriously. The guy was doing better, finally acknowledging Boston's flaws and suddenly he's rewritting the script like they didn't spend 8 episodes showing us how bad Boston is ? I screamed when he said "You're not a bad guy, you don't have to change". Really? I know love makes some people stupid but viewers aren't fools. I would have loved a more nuanced monologue, like pointing Boston bad traits while also highlighting the good ones, wishing he'll find his worth someday, cause he could be a good person.... For me, this scene isn't about Nick's development cause he's doing exactly what he's been doing since the start (stalking Boston, listening to him having sex, and still wearing blinders). It serves as a quite forced transition to Boston's character development and possibly a BostonNick's reconciliation.
For all its flaws this series does something good: communication between the leads. Yes, the whole debacle happened cause they didn't communicate for years (bad plot). But since ep4, I find their discussions real and to the point. They bicker and tease each other but they say what they feel, Yi didn't shy away for expressing his love, Diao told what he felt these past years and said he wanted to be seen as an adult and take care of Yi. Cutie Pie could never!
I’m one of those people who really enjoyed this show and just wanted to add two cents on why that is. Mental…
Thank you! Take my award 🥇 To this day I still don't get the hype. It was good but certainly not a masterpiece. It was basic and manipulative in the directing. But of course people love the "trauma plot/saviour complex scenario" as you said. It works everytime.
maybe it’s kdrama coded because it’s… a… korean drama?
A kbl is obviously a korean drama 🙄. "Kdrama coded" means the plot relies heavily on kdrama tropes: candy character, rich ML, meddling parents, ex-bf/gf reappearance, love triangle, noble idiocy, miscommunication that cause a separation... You can write a kbl without using several kdrama tropes. See Semantic Error, Choco Milk Shake, Long Time No See, Our Dating Sim, Blueming and many more. While bls like ULS, Roommates of Poongduck 304 and Jun & Jun are "kdrama coded".
