I just watched the episode, white ghost face where? plus the acting is better then 90% of thai bls. To make them…
i appreciate thai bls for the lighthearted entertainment they provide. what i don't appreciate is the increasing trend of glorifying plastic surgery. many celebrities undergo procedures that don't enhance their appearances. they end up looking worse than before
the drama isn't flawless, with mediocre acting and a storyline that could use polish, but it doesn't deserve the level of negativity it's receiving. the charm of the two male leads' romance shines through and compensates for the shortcomings
Right? The toxic culture of milking the bl industry In Thailand is making its way to Korea
they are buzzwords. the uproar over bl being "milked" is a distraction from the issue of money's corrupting influence on society. money is the puppet master, pulling the strings of everything else that exists to be abused for profit. it's not true that only bl is milked. all genres of media are milked to bring in viewers, whether it be romance, smut, drama, documentary, fantasy, horror, action, etc
Right? The toxic culture of milking the bl industry In Thailand is making its way to Korea
bl culture is no more "toxic" than the "straight" agenda that's been milked and crammed into every nook and cranny of the entertainment industry. bl is doing what "straight" media has been doing: capitalizing on romance and sex
are you boycotting "straight" media for fetishizing women, men, and the "straight" lifestyle? are you canceling every country for milking "straight" media? you can't pick and choose which instances of commercialization to criticize
your interpretation of the thumbnail could make for a cute bl/gay drama. the story could follow the eye-opening…
i watched "perfect propose," and the storyline of the japanese bl is one that korea would do well to emulate in their own bl dramas
the thumbnail featuring yeon seok and kyung ho hints at a promising gay couple, it's a shame this chemistry and potential won't be explored in the drama
Thumbnail on the main page looks like a gay couple waiting in line. One guy is being cute and clingy, the other…
your interpretation of the thumbnail could make for a cute bl/gay drama. the story could follow the eye-opening journey of a workaholic who learns that a meaningful life is found not in the pursuit of money and success, but in the company of the man he loves most
No romance in this pleaseee.. I'd love them all being just jolly good without thinking of each other as potential…
no "romance" please
men and women don't need to become more than friends to give each other a helping hand in difficult times. the brother-sister dynamic the characters share is an integral part of their connection. adding "romance" would compromise this innocence and complicate everything
Okay so .. from writers POV for S1 Jae won sees Han yu rim 's daughter as adorable younger sibling. More than…
"... as per original,he will like Jang mi"
another case of "we ran out of ideas, let’s force a so-called romance." hard pass on season 2. part of what made the story special was the brother-sister, found-family dynamic between the cast/characters. i'd rather they leave it at season 1 and not ruin that dynamic
"“Perfectly healthy people can get severe complications from influenza,” says Dr. Englund. “But if you have any underlying health issues, the risk becomes much greater"
In severe cases, the flu can lead to:
1. Pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia, which can lead to respiratory failure and ventilator use. Dr. Englund calls pneumonia “the No. 1 complication” seen from the flu 2. A heart attack or cardiac issues such as myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) 3. Stroke"
"Every flu season, we hear the same myth circulating: “Flu isn’t that serious.” You might hear people call it “just” the flu, saying they won’t get vaccinated because the flu isn’t a threat, or dismissing concerns about spreading the virus because they don’t think it could hurt them or their loved ones
Even if you’re young and healthy, there’s no guarantee you’ll escape flu’s grip unscathed. Healthy individuals can and do develop serious complications. In fact, some of the most severe flu cases can occur in otherwise healthy people who have not been vaccinated. What’s more, you can spread the virus before you even show symptoms, unknowingly putting others at risk"
Have u watched his short drama called Love your enemy? Where he plays a chaebol with a high school sweetheart…
"... the world itself is kind of a wreck right now"
the world isn’t "kind of a wreck right now," it’s been a wreck since the dawn of civilization. the only thing that changes is the flavor of the disaster
humanity insists on being a disaster movie, so i try to take both the escapism (happy stories) and the social critiques (dark stories), depending on the mood
bl resides in the domain of gay media. its defining characteristic is its thematic exploration of romantic and/or sexual relationships between men. the statistical composition of its consumer base, gay, bi, or "straight" identifying, doesn't change that
my reference to "fans of straight media" pertains to the fans engaging with media that features man-woman relationships, not to fans who identify as "straight"
are you going to ignore the actors and actresses of "straight" media suffocated by invasive fans? hollywood/western celebrities chased down alleyways? teenage heartthrobs from every entertainment industry have endured the exact hysteria for decades
the actor's fans have knowledge of his residential address. it's not inconceivable that the intrusion into his personal life could escalate beyond stalking and result in a physical altercation (stabbing, getting shot, etc). that's the reason guns were mentioned
society shames what women enjoy, fanfiction, kpop, boy bands, etc, branding them as frivolous, embarrassing, or pathological. bl, a genre consumed and enjoyed by women, suffers the same fate. the ridicule aimed at bl fans is an extension of the misogynistic inclination to shame feminine desires, creative spaces, and media preferences, with non-straight media preferences shouldering a heavier burden of it
bl actors step into "queerness," however briefly, embodying lives that disrupt society's illusion of normalcy. they give non-straight relationships shape, voice, and visibility. the prejudice against them isn't against their supposed "straightness" off-screen, it's against their gayness on-screen, or their courage to bring non-straight relationships out of the shadows and onto the screen, where they can't be hidden
an actor’s job is transformation. no one questions actors playing doctors, judges, detectives, soldiers, or kings, something they aren't off-screen, yet the moment they play gay roles, their legitimacy is questioned. this is homophobia
there's most probably going to be romance between skj and jkj's characters
i understand what you mean. for a brief moment, i considered watching the drama—until my eyes landed on the dreaded, ominous "romance" tag and my enthusiasm dissipated
i can't bring myself to watch it. few things ruin what could've been a good story faster than "romance"
Bro looks like AI how can he look so handsome? this better have some great action
"Bro looks like AI"
ai/bot-generated images and models don't convincingly capture the beautiful intricacies of human appearance. they resemble a fever-dream, a nightmarish mashup of photoshop filters gone wild. if "you look like ai" is meant as praise, humanity needs to rethink its beauty standards
