I came here to see if I was alone thinking this! Thank you! I enjoyed a lot watching the first 7-8 episodes! However,…
Hey thanks for writing.
I totally hate it when BLs add a girl character so we can have someone to hate. A lot of these BL dramas think its ok to portray girls as the villains in a budding same sex boy love and make them totally b*tchy so viewers will be ok and support the guy liking another guy.
And yes i totally hated that who-to-choose arc in the middle of the finale, like, do we need to add more drama its already the last episode, they could have done that earlier so it doesnt feel like an after thought.
I totally agree with you 👍 that kind of breakup didn't make any sense.... I m very disappointed with that ending....breakup…
Moon Lovers gave me a totally different vibe, for me it was a fairy tale with terrifically tragic ending. We knew from the beginning she wasnt meant to be in the past or that she was living somebody else's life. But since it was a fantasy series i can rest wishing that they will meet in the present time.
2521 however made a melodrama that has too many drama just for the sake of making the viewers cry. I would have been happy if they ended the past on the bus stop act - for me that was already beautiful. But then they have to add that notebook and tunnel scenes (which was way too long by the way) with the past and pressnt HeeDo because they needed to extend the drama, but for me that lessened the impact of the bus stop scene, and made things confusing cause it felt like the present HeeDo is someone who hasnt and cannot move on from the past.
In my opinion, after the bus scene, they could have shown the continuation of HeeDo's story with her friends and husband (or at least show us that he died or they were seprated) so at least we know why she is still pining for YiJin.
Hi! Thanks for reading.Yes, you got all of the. Right :)
Infairness to the show, its not without its merits. The first episode totally wowed me so i thought ts gonna be a worthy watch. I also gave it a lot of benefit of the doubt since they based it from a popular source material so maybe the choices are rather limited if they want it to be true to that. Also, most of the times i watch korean dramas if i like the actors in it and i really liked Jo Yi Hyun in School 2021 so shes part of the reason why i continued watching. Plus Solomon is just really easy on the eye.
I did get a few people telling me i didnt understand the show thats why i gave it a low rating. I think quite a few people thought i was nitpicking.
I disagree with your point where you said it was portraying their relationship as if it was in a utopian society.…
Hi, thanks for writing.
I wont totally discount your view of the series cause it may be the case and a part of me agrees with it. However a bigger part of me feels like it was intentionally made to look like in their world, homosexuality is as normal as hetero-relationships. I think its a wise choice to appeal to a wider audience. Watching this series with my straight brother and sister certainly was easier (with a lot less reaction, violent or otherwise) compared to when we watch say for example Cutie Pie.
While i agree with most of what you said, i had to comment on your remarks about this mini series ignoring same…
Hi! Thanks for reading and commenting, i think your points are all valid, too.
I think what i am forgetting is that most of the BL webtoons, comics and dramas are marketed for young adult girls and most of them really doesnt care about the struggles of same sex relationship. My only concern is that these shows are normalizing that kind of love way too much, and i fear that sometimes, young guys who are going to experience that same love will find it a lot different in real life, and thats where trauma starts. For me, im just hoping these kind of shows and contents will not only show same sex love as a normal kind of love, but in a way, help other people dealing with the same issues, whether its the the person in the relationship or the parents or the people around them.
Took the words right out of my mouth. Said everything I wanted to say. I think I'll just ask people to read this…
Thanks for reading ;). I really really want to love the show but they made it hard. They assembled some of the cutest guys and they made the viewers hate the characters.
I actually agree with you regarding the whole BL series making it a utopian world where everyone is just accepting…
Yessss i agree with you too, and like you i dont want them to make too much drama about being gay (and yes im also tired of LGBT being portrayed as victim) just a little bit of admitting their sexuality or at least acknowledging that they are
