I will watch cdramas with this plots when they have the balls to make the bio-father of the kids and the ML TWO different people. Till then I'll stick to the novels.
my poor comfy bl got raid ratting for dvmb ppl who must having a kiss scene on every bl when they watched it :/
I am a fan of OmegaX but I hate the original webtoon with passion. I tried to watch for my babies but that plot is still garbage and wanting to hi-fi Taehyun in the face with a chair was doing me no favours, esp when he shares that face with uri macknae Yechan. I just listen to OST on repeat coz it's so damn good.
it didn't have hard bullying tho. A drama contains character development too. If you want hot bl dramas you really…
Seriously. Cutie Pie has such a grooming vibe. Honestly, I would have preferred it the uke had retained his badass drummer personality, and the seme had loved that personality instead of turning into a n obedient doll for "love". The other couple (who have a series coming up) were worse.
The too short runtime ruined this one. I have had it with these badwagoners jumping on the bl-train and ruining webtoons that could have been adapted by someone who actually cared.
Taking this drama completely on face-value, I don't like either of them or their relationship. SHJ is too forward, he is ready to break his friendship over it. YJY is a clingy narcissit who loves constant worship and hates that his friend (even before he knew SHJ had a crush on him) has other relationships with him.
both fans and producers hate open endings for some reason
If they wanted to close that ending, they should have told the actors to suck up and show that were a couple. Touch or cuddle. I dont except a kiss, but I do expect signs to indicate they are a longterm couple like actually sleeping in the bed or touching each other.
They’re friends from one kpop group (what most important, the eldest and the youngest from group - and in Korea…
Honestly, I have never really seen romantic chemistry between them, more siblings. They should have chosen a bl (IF wanted to enter that market) where they are brothers but have two different lovers. Or maybe brothers in a love triangle to play off their IRL chemistry.
But maybe they chose to play against each other BECAUSE they were only comfortable with each other and not others. If I remember correctly, this BL was announced when they were still with SPIRE, but they only started filming afterwards. So, maybe the casting/choosing this drama wasnt entirely their choice.
Genuine question, why do they not kiss even once? Like it doesn't bother me but its 2023 and most -BL's nowadays…
Webtoon is pretty dry as well. I wasnt expecting a kiss but physical affection aka cuddling while napping/watching movie etc, esp in the last ep, or hell even waking up in the same bed or "should we shower together" type scene where u KNOW they are couple.
I hate bullying-related plots in general. The first episode already reached my tolerance limit. Can somebody convince…
No. I am a fan of the group but I hated the webtoon and I hate the drama. I tried watching but it grated on my nerves as much as the book so I dropped it. I tried to watch the last epilogue as a standalone but apart from a few comedic scenes at the beginning where Dayeol was expecting a honeymoon and Taehyun just wented to wear matching socks and pyjamas, it was bland.
Why have a heart to heart about each others likes and dislikes on a honeymoon TWO YEARS after you started dating? And not even a cuddle? They sat on the bed, 5 ft apart and "cuddled" aka placed heads on each other's shoulders with the same love and affection as accidentally falling asleep on a stranger in a bus. Hell, you are a lot physically closer to that random passenger than these loverboys were on there honeymoo.
With this episode perth easily climbs to my favourite actor list in gmmtv he is leading it for now . Versatility…
Seriously. Chopper was such green flag, I actually rooting for him to cut off everyone from his trashy dad to his stuckup cousin, Neung, who kept blaming him for his dad's actions (as if he had ANY control over his dad). He really deserved someone better than that selfish coward Ben.
Care to share what your say...top three fave BLs are?
Also, I am in the tongue or bust category. I'd rather have them stare meaningfully at each other and hug/hi-fi than the weirdass dead-fish-lip-touching while the camera basically shoves in their faces from 4. DIFFERENT. ANGLES. Showing them slomo lip-touching over and over from different angles doesnt make it romantic, it makes it disturbing.
Some of the best examples of on-screen kissing were in ULS, ODS and Happy Merry Ending. A soft peck to ask for consent, then separate for a breath and jump right in. The others were too dead-fish or forgettable.

Ah.... I was halfway through writing the comment when someone called so I closed the page and forgot about it. Idk how it even got posted.
Anyways, I was writing the exact opposite of what u wrote. I prefer shows where they have meaningful and in-depth/affectionate relationship with each other regardless of what they call it. Kissing, etc is a bonus but not needed. Maybe it is a psychological shadow from being a slash-shipper for almost 20yrs, but as long as there is no female love interest "to counter-balance the bromance" idc. In fact, I rather prefer shounen Ai (bromance) to outright yaoi.
My absolute favourite BL to date is Winter Begonia. The love they have for each other, even though one is already married and has a child, transcends everything. I am not really a fan of the novel, but not showing the physical relationship makes their "soulmate" relationship in the drama much more meaningful; because in the novel, ML is basically a cheating scum and MC is an "opera singer" (i.e. prostitute, because most opera singers ran a side business), whereas in the drama he connects with the MC on a much deeper level than just physical or monetary. The subject is way too heavy for casual recommendation, but if u have time just give it a watch.
I feel like the Eighth Sense set the bar too high and now it's tough to fully enjoy other KBLs...
Eighth Sense is way too much like old western coming out/coming of age dramas for my taste. It's probably good for the new kids, but I prefer the ones where they are adults and settled in their sexuality
consicely written plot to fit the 17x8 time frame.
