Never said it wasn't. I just said he is a vampire from 1626 who pretends to be 26.

It's ephebophilia**, not pedophilia.... and the only people who care about that distinction are pedophiles.

Actually yeah, they are a major part of costuming and styling. A bad styling will ruin a character more than a bad plot. A good styling will keep the character immortal even the plot/acting is garbage.

Damn, they aint playing around. Also, thanks for the English names to whoever updates the cast list. Now, please cast Pentagon Wooseok as Gerard with green hair. Thank you.

I would settle for locking him in a firewood shee or outhouse or something

He is definitely the SML. I was actually wondering if he would end up with Sa Wol, but Sa Wol and Hong Secretary seem like a match

Webtoon is korean, drama is Thai

It is time travel/reincarnation plus fated/starcrossed lovers type plot. Her original husband died on their wedding night and she was thrown into a well the next night.

She time travelled to 2023, and the modern ML is most probably a reincarnation of her dead husband (though it hasnt been revealed, yet).

It's engaging enough but I'd rather u wait to binge... Personally, I regret not waiting (I always wait, but my bls weren't bl-ing and I was impatient for something). Now I have wait till Friday for the cliffhanger. Thankfully, we get 2 eps per week (fri and sat) so I dont need to go crazy with waiting. But it's still hard

Well... now you can 🤷🤷

So glad he is making a comeback to the screen. I have been following him since TOO days and he really got the short end of the stick. Well, no matter, I'm so glas we finally get to see him on screen.

If u watch old timey chinese bls like Like Love, or Uncontrollable Romance, or Counterattack upto the original Addicted, you can see them kiss or have sex etc, but keep in mind that they are rape to love, and extremely toxic relationships. If they dont have any such problems and everything seems fine, one or both will die at the end.

U wont find a consensual happy ending bl from China (at least not that I know of)

HE?

They did the same with Wei Wuxian in Untamed. In the novel, he gets reborn in a new body, whereas in the drama he had the same body and used a mask to hide himself.

Great idea but just dont change the story and destroy it, like they did with My Gangster Oppa

Many times, the reason women want the power for their son's is because they want to succeed by association. Here, the mom is more than capable of taking care of herself and her son as well

It's a language/translation thing. Idk how it is in Korea, but here in India (and in most cdramas atleast) there is no such thing as step and half-siblings. That's a weatern concept. Here, Step-brother and half-brother are used interchangeably because he is "stepmother's son" and not "my father's son by a different woman". A son from stepmom's prior relationship would be referred to as such, not to mention he wouldn't have the mother's husband's surname. He would have his mother's surname or his bio-dad's.

Also, in 95% cases, at least in dramas, no rich asian man would marry a woman who had a child from a previous relationship unless that's specifically the plot of the show (and even then in most cases, the "previous relationship" is just a one night stand she had with the ML but they both forgot or something).

I can understand that. I have been disappointed by a lot of adapted bls. I didn't really think was going to be an exception, but knowing that they changed the manga plot has me wondering if I should even bother lmao

Because he is an affair baby. It's a very very common trope in all asian dramas/novels. Grandfathers usually hate the non-legitimate grandkids because his existence is black mark on the family history. He can't say anything to the stepmom because she is now his daughter in law by legal right, but he can take his anger/frustration etc on the innocent affair baby. This is why they always get a redemption arc in the dramas. Because they "finally learn their place" as grandpa put it so nicely.

I think there is much more to the coloured-eye woman (the matchmaker) story. I think the Past Tae Ha and modern Yeon Woo both had tragic ends (even before the stories started) so for whatever reason, decided to unite past Yeon Woo with modern Tae Ha. Or maybe there is a third time line we havent seen yet.

Time travel dramas sometimes have a third timeline - Orange J-drama (manga and drama both have different endings), another C-drama called Shining For One Thing has a third timeline trope. Even I feel you linger in the air (bl) has a third timeline (which will hopefully be explored in s2)
