It was 12 years reunion of Kang Ha Neul and Yim Si Wan, since they worked in Miseang...gosh how time flies...more than a decade has passed since Miseang came...
One of the best-written, adapted, and acted stories ever. The warmth, love, sadness, fulfillment, and joy it brought to viewers were simply remarkable. It’s truly one of the best BLs in the history of mankind—okay, maybe that sounds exaggerated, but it’s genuinely how I feel. Life on Line, Love in the Big City, and now this have solidified their places in my top 5 BLs of all time. It’s literally the best adaptation I’ve ever seen.
Even South Korea couldn’t have done a better job, largely due to their conservative approach to BL adaptations and their cultural mindset. While Japan also has a conservative society, their approach to such stories is significantly more progressive. They have greater freedom to adapt source material authentically, without compromising the essence of the narrative—a freedom many others lack.
It’s absolutely a 10/10. Love in the Big City had its flaws, but the essence and warmth it delivered made me give it a perfect score, and the same goes for this series. It’s just that good—literally gave me butterflies in my stomach!
She is literally sick, has been hospitalized for a while and just got released. She didn't join any promotion…
hmmm....her previous drama reflection of you was also same...even though one couldn't see, as this and that role were both in misery so one could overlook given the circumstances of the characters, but clearly her face is pale and out of place.
did Paul Kim sang one of the OST??? his typical yet unique voice is easily recognizable.
ps. again with the foreign country, poor country, gun fight, rebel and all…it was going good but the stunt they pulled was vomit worthy…there were thousand ways to disappear in your fucking country…
it’s good to see finally HJM not playing a poor, miserable and always troubled character and LJh not a jerk, grey, betrayer, nosy and somewhat villainous character.
I dropped this mess after 2 episodes and returned for the JoNorth storyline, but even then had to ff a lot because…
It’s saddening to say, but it’s true—when he was paired with Santa, my heart sank. Santa was an amazing actor, and I’m glad he moved to GMMTV and got paired with someone equally talented. That said, 12% was a good series for me.
This is not to undermine Earth, but perhaps he is better suited for another type of TV or film medium—acting might not be his strongest suit.
Bas comes from a long lineage of actors, so he has somewhat inherited the profession. However, he, too, isn’t a particularly strong actor.
Pond, on the other hand, is an incredibly talented actor—professional and highly skilled. It’s disappointing to see someone of his caliber paired with Earth, as it feels like a mismatch.
Rotten Tomatoes giving this series an 82% rating is yet another example of how out of touch these so-called critics are when it comes to evaluating foreign content. Time and again, these Western reviewers inflate ratings for foreign series simply because they lack the cultural context or genuine understanding of the material. It’s as if they’re afraid to critique it honestly for fear of being labeled ignorant or intolerant.
SG2 was a pale shadow of its predecessor, offering nothing of substance or innovation to warrant such a high rating. This blind obsession with fake diversity and forced inclusion has turned Hollywood into a hypocritical echo chamber. Instead of genuinely embracing different cultures and stories, they slap a high rating on subpar or outright bad content from foreign countries to check a box and deflect accusations of racism or exclusion.
It's not genuine appreciation; it's performative at best and patronizing at worst. Hollywood's virtue signaling is doing more harm than good, reducing meaningful cultural exchange to token gestures and empty accolades. If they truly cared about diversity, they’d hold foreign content to the same standards as their own rather than giving undeserved praise in the name of political correctness.
I’m quite certain now that Earth is only suited for vlogs, live shows, and other forms of entertainment. His acting skills, unfortunately, seem quite limited—they can only take him so far, but not much further. His range is restricted, and it’s unlikely he’ll surpass that in this lifetime.
I hope he knows what he’s doing because, personally, I find his acting and over-the-top expressions unappealing. Acting is about embodying a character, not simply showcasing your true self. If you bring too much of yourself into a role, it defeats the purpose of acting, which is to breathe life into the characters you portray.
