I feel like people wanted a romance and this is a coming of age story. Maybe the manhwa was different - but as…
The manhwa is so different that they might as well write a new story instead of using the same title and character names
They chose to front load this adaptation with a straight couple that wasn't there to begin with and erased a 2nd gay couple
Very regressive to release this kind of adaptation of a popular BL manhwa in the big year of 2025
Idk if I'd excuse it for being filmed before Semantic Error tbh. When you shelve a project for that long, you have to accept responsibility for the changed market. People arent going to judge it based on when it was filmed, it’s judged based on when it’s released.
Go watch Boys in Love, it's a much, MUCH better youthful gay romance(s) than this poor excuse of a waterdowned adaptation made to appease to the heteros
Sending hate from my country to everyone who thought about this bs of a show 🥰.Actual drama name: Jiyu & Chan…
God forbid Thai BL shows queer intimacy certain homophobic weirdos are so afraid of seeing
Like gays kissing is soft porn now? Gimme a break
I understand the criticism of using NC scenes in exchange of storytelling but the way they're always jumping the gun at them existing at all as an inherently bad thing is really questionable
and the way â…” of the BLs getting released aren't even explicit
Bunch of homophobic prudes, go watch something they can handle and shut the fuck up.
Well, I'm a gay man and I liked the show. Are you implying that, I, as a gay person am uncomfortable with gayness…
"so what?"
Then read the manhwa and you'll understand
"It was subtle, it wasn't very 'gay' and since apparently that's not your jam, maybe you should just watch something else"
I'm sorry I'm expecting something that's not THAT when it shares the exact same title as the manhwa but ok
I have zero problem with subtle gay storytelling but the manhwa was not THAT
If they wanted to change everything, rename the show and change the character names. Or else it's just disingenuous to bait existing fans into watching a waterdowned version that acts like they're embarrassed of the source material
Defending this shit is way weirder
If they wanna do this subtle shit, why adapt it at all instead of writing their own story
Drama-only viewers ignoring the core problem as always just cause they 'enjoy" it
I'm also a gay man and seeing a manhwa that's so loud and proud of its queerness being Frankenstein into this mess to appease the heteros and even fellow members of the community are defending is doubly weird
I really don't understand why are some ppl so adamant in defending this show when the source material exists
don't give me the "oh I haven't read it" excuse, then do it? You're purposely being ignorant why ppl have a problem with this adaptation when we have made it extremely clear why.
We should have moved past this kind of shit in 2025 but noooo we're going backwards and you are supporting it
This was such a cute show. I don't know why many people are hating on this. The rating is absolute BS coz this…
It's based on a very popular manhwa of the same name and they changed everything including front loading it with a straight couple that wasn't there in the source material that's why
This was filmed B4 KBL drama landscape changed massively with Semantic Error
Not sure why it took 3 years to release when they could have just scrapped it and reshoot everything to make it about the two gay couples instead of changing to 1 gay and 1 het where the latter is overshadowing the former
The way some ppl defending this show prefer very waterdowned version of gay romances with straightness front and center, cause that's what you're comfortable with and it shows
a lot to unpack there ..
Go read the manhwa and rewire your brain cause this ain't it
not them making me miss oishi green tea, at least that would make sense

Cause you're really missing the point but ok
meanwhile you're berating ME for calling out on this bullshit
