I wonder why the three are able to see the supernatural stuff...
Their names are connected. In ep 4, CGY explains that Yan in his name means "inkstone" while Ying in cop's name means "Paper". Inkstone, inkstick, paper and brush are "Four Treasures of Study" (wiki)
By that logic, Yong is either brush or inkstick. I think it's brush, coz he has his grandfather's brush and he is the holder... but hopefully a chinese speaker can clarify and the old lady ghost (that haunted grandpa) is probably the inkstick.
Also, the corpse wasnt exactly a secret. I mean he was practically a viral phenomenon when he finally came to Yiyong, so the cop could easily see him, same as everyone else. Yiyong wasnt exactly special in that regard.
For the tree girl, she probably latched onto Yiyong's essence through his menu, which is why CGY could only see a couple of leaves and not the whole girl until Yiyong drew her. The cop could only see her AFTER she saw the picture herself.
It is illegal in Hollywood to harm or kill animals so no, everything on Game of Thrones is special effects and…
If the deer was real, which I HIGHLY doubt, the it was killed with permission. Some places allow people to hunt because deer are considered pests. In my village peacocks are a farm pest, but it is illegal to kill unless there is a forest official present and only if there is no other choice. We cant exactly relocate the birds since we are living inTHEIR land,but sometimes it's a necessity.
I don’t get all the talk about animal abuse, honestly it’s sad to see an animal die but it’s only getting…
Uh no. In most countries, if u are using animal actors atleast in past 20 or so years, there is a trained professional team to handle that animal as well as animal activist to make sure there is NO harm or abuse to the animal (my mom is an activist, one of her friends is a coordinator to Bollywood). All the scenes with animals being slaughterd, murdered etc etc are fake. Hell, even fishing scenes are filmed at designated spots and unless it's a food/cooling show with permission to actually hunt, they practice catch and release method for camera, then use the supermarket fish to cook.
The difference is that in China there are literally laws against showing homosexual stuff on tv at the risk of…
Okay, so u are just troll who is shitting on cbls? Well, I got more foinf on to waste my time on trolls. We can agree to disagree about it and move on.
But i don't get one thing .... when watching those cdramas(with popular actors) which are censored because of…
The difference is that in China there are literally laws against showing homosexual stuff on tv at the risk of heavy fines or even jail. For eg, the bl Addicted was so hugely popular that the actors (Johnny Huang and Timny Xu) were literally warned against appearing in public together at the risk of being blacklisted from the industry. They are now 2 of the most famous cdrama stars. Same is the case with Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo of Untamed, though not as serious. Even then, the actors and the production team takes the risk to adapt a bl novel and try their best to remain faithful to the source material is a DADT ambiguous way.
That is not the case with SK. They dont have laws against this type of things and for specifically this drama, they initially marketed it as a mainstream bl (the cast is mainstream actors). The actors were fully aware this was a bl when they signed on and the production house has one bl currently airing. It wasnt until the fans of the actors started a backlash that they announced that they were changing the story to remove the gay/bl aspect which is ironic since the story is literally about a highschool kid committing suicide because he was bullied for being gay.
Removing gay aspect from this drama is like making a movie about MLK but removing the "black aspect" and changing his death cause to a heart attack or something because u dont wanna piss off the "majority" audience. If that's the case, just dont adapt a gay novel. There are many other novels about high school violence without the gay aspect.
If the actor is the problem they should cast different ones. Not surprised though, the other guy is Golcha Jaehyun,…
I agree. I dont care why the actor took a role, bl is an untapped genre and there is a LOT of potential for growth, but respect the character. There are lot of other actors/idol who would have been fine with that role without being ashamed of the original material, so they didn't need to cater to cater to someone who isnt even the target audience. I just hate these idols/producers treat us bl fans as easy and cheap/stunt publicity. easy
She's confused because she's suddenly a man, the powerful Emperor, and has to deal with boring court and incendiary…
No. The harem kinda stops after the Emperor switches to a woman and she becomes an the man because she doesn't like his other wives so she ignores them and they all hate "her" so they insult and abuse the king in her body.
She isnt really relevant to plot but the amoint of tags about "female lead" are scaring me.
I am more worried that they will change this to a straight romance between Chanyoung and Jiyu (who are NOT a couple in the manga) and push Heesu/Seungwon as the best friend secondary couple
i’m just curious, if they’re turning an original webtoon into a drama & are taking out a key part (BL) wouldn’t…
Depends on what rights the author gave away. Some author's reserve a veto rightwhile some give away blanket permission to change. It depends on the IP laws of that country. For eg, in China, unless the author has some industry clout, it's as good as gone from their hands. Which is why u get news about authors distancing themselves from the adaptations.
By that logic, Yong is either brush or inkstick. I think it's brush, coz he has his grandfather's brush and he is the holder... but hopefully a chinese speaker can clarify and the old lady ghost (that haunted grandpa) is probably the inkstick.
