Are you dancer?

The director has two BLs - Light on Me and Best Mistake. Is anyone familiar with the webtoon? This smells like a shounen ai bromance... As long as it's not a reverse harem, I'm in.

"However a recurrent theme is that a man's feelings about male on male sex can be changed by force."

What? Are u misunderstanding something here? Kim is gay. Kamol is gay. 2 gay men agreed to have a one night stand where they played with a sadomasochistic kink. If u think consensual BDSM is same as rape or abuse, u need to educate yourself at least on the surface level.

Apart from Kom/Baiboon which is a bit skeevy since Baiboon is a minor (but they have a doting uncle/nephew rapport more than lovers), absolutely none of the couples are forced.

I am not going to argue about u not liking some web drama, but rape? Abuse? Did we watch the same show? This is a pure sadomasochistic relationship. Though Kamol, the mafia guy, shows some signs of being a stalker, at no point was the uke, Kim, forced or raped. He was fully sane and consensual. The violence in their relationship pertains only to the specific sexual kink they BOTH have - one likes to hit, one likes to be hit, and it was a kink that was agreed beforehand. At no point, did seme just randomly pick a whip or belt and just start whacking without rhyme or reason. Even with his previous lovers, it was discussed beforehand, it's that those people always underestimated him or thought they could handle the pain. There is a line in the first ep "they always say they can handle it, but they back off at the last minute"

The story is simply, a heartbroken guy moves on with his rebound one-night stand.

That apart, u do u 🤷‍♀🤷‍♀

Did u watch the whole show or is this based on only the first ep? If u havent, I suggest u watch the first 3 eps at least. If u have watched the whole show, but are giving it a one star based on just one scene from the beginning of first ep, well....

Yeah, it is a shounen ai/censored bromance. Idk what the Korean title is.

There ANOTHER webtoon called My Heart is Beating by author Ha Il-Kwon which about a teenage high school girl. That's the only one that's showing up.

I really hope someone remembers the title, coz I feel like a re-read

I feel like I have read this one but under a different name on some scantalation site. And it most definitely is a BL. I feel like this drama will be a clean/ censored version, like Untamed or WoH.

I am trying to see if I can find the webtoon, but there is another coming of age webtoon with the same name and the mangaka having an extremely similar name, so it's a slow going.

That's exactly what I intend to do 🙄

Maybe he isnt famousbenough to matter? Because I'm definitely sure (as most here are) that we have aeen him somewhere... His aegyo sounds very very familiar to me. I watch a lot of kpop variety, so I think I may have seen it there

Yep... I have been thinking baout since Day 1, so curiosity finally got to me. He looks too familiar but this is only role? He isnt an ex-kpop idol, is he? Or looks EXACTLY like one. It feels like that when he is doing his aegyo voice.

They also changed Yeonwoo's CEO to a woman. Well....

Why???? Why do they keep foecing romance in places where it isn't needed. Also, why change manager hyung to a woman. The dynamic between Yeonwoo and the manager hyung and Gamjae, manager's assistant, is the best part of the webtoon.

I was excited. Not anymore.

Rembrary is from the past. So there is no need for two different people, even though one is European and the other is Korean

Popular doesnt mean good. Most these are popular among the younger or newer bl fans. I have been into gay romcoms scene since the early 2000s, so for me, they bring nothing new to the table. Also, I HATE stories where couples cant communicate like adults and create unnecessary misunderstandings.

But, well, if u enjoyed them that's fine isnt it?

Spoilers for the end please? I am still on the fence whether to watch or not. Does she die...?? Or at least successfully get her revenge?

Wow!! NVM our tastes are completely different. I hated every single Thai BL u mentioned😂😂.

Anyways, thanks for the recs 😊

So what kind of shows DO you like? Judging by your replies we have a similar taste so I was wondering if u have any recs?

I did warn you though 😂

Also, Cherry the vamp is hilarious.
"If u didn't love you, you would have let the car hit me". Like bitch, are u gonna make him regret that forever? Even God forgives the first mistake. The guy wont stop the car next time, okay?

.

As long as u dont mind the dead fish lipsmacking and frankly hilarious sex scenes, it's a good watch. For a show centered around bdsm, the sexual chemistry is pretty nonexistent. I quite like the uke, Kim, as a reluctant mob-wife but I'm not sold on Yoon (Kamol) as the badass mafia boss. He is good enough for your typical uni bl seme, but he really sucks at any other facial expressions. They could have cast a better actor as Kamol.

As usual, my fav are the bodyguard side characters and 4 eps in Kamol is a much much better boss than Kinn would even wish to be.

Also, Kamol IS a stalker... But it's more along the line of following Kim around and saying "Date me... Move in with me" type of persistent annoyance than anything dangerous.

And all sex scenes are completely consensual though the scene in the latest ep was slightly dub-cony, but not enough to raise a flag. Kim comes off as a tsundere more than someone with a Stockholm syndrome.

Thanks for this... This is one of the most honest reviews I have seen of this show so far. I actually commend you for finishing the whole series. I folded in ep. 3. All those points you raised, I had same issues.

I was told by show watchers and even novel readers that it would improve a lot, but then Kinn r-ped Porsche and well, nope. I can forgive a lot of things but r-pe without consequences and falling in love with your r-pist isnt one of them. As someone who is been into BL since early-2000s, r-pe to love stories have no place in 2022.

On a different note, have you checked out Unforgetten Night yet? It's also a mafia-civilian love story with actually consensual BDSM (like whaaaaa--), I think u might enjoy it more.
