It's just honorifics, they don't mean a literal brother, just a term used to adress older people/friends, it has nothing to do with the nature of your relationship (family, romantic, etc). Different asian countries have different honorifics that depend on age, gender, closeness, seniority, etc,

This. I literally paused the episode and went to see if the staff or anyone told a story about Santa actually falling during that scene like that fall was a little too good 😂

He was just giving him a demonstration of what NOT to do 😔😭

THAT FALL!!?! FACEPLANTING IN FRONT OF A FULL AUDITORIUM??? I would've faked my death and left the country...

Highly doubt it, with the amount of promo and them getting a second show as leads so soon, it seems like GMM is going full canon with PerthSanta, they're definitely pushing them for a permanent partnership

I don't think people necessarily hate ArmArc story, I've actually seen a lot of people saying it's better than they thought, the criticism I saw was mainly people/fans wanting Forcebook to graduate from the University stories and cute romcoms, they want to see them in something darker and more mature, and in relation to that some ppl just didn't like how cute/hyper Arm was (they're saying the same for Gun), but overall I'd say ArcArm's story was generally well liked

It's a 'we are' case all over again, dragging the fuck out of a clearly finished storyline to a point it's getting boring and refusing to give more screentime to the story/couple that needs it and that everyone wants🤦‍♀️
Also, just saw some ppl saying that they did actually film more scenes for JohanNorth but they're getting cut out in the editing, is that true? If so that is the dumbest thing

So sad for yinghah and gwan yoo, I was so happy to see them debut after what happened to ixform, also sad the trio is separating, but I wish them the absolute best and most importantly hope they're healthy and happy, I'm rooting even harder for xingxing now.

On the other hand, glad Jijun and his company have some sense, he has a career that he seems to be doing well at and a big fandom so he should stick to that.

Exactly, which is crazy because he's been POPULAR since the beginning so idk why they're acting surprised now

That's going to be hard, from what I've seen the kfandom (and some ifans) is not happy about the decision and if he drops from this show only to join another one they're going to be even angrier, so kpop/Korea might not be an option anymore or might become harder with the public perception (and an mnet show is going to have more Koreans tuning in so the public perception is going to matter)

Jijun was in a group (not sure how popular they were) and was also an actor before the show, apparently he had a lot of projects so he has a pretty big and rich fandom 🤦‍♀️

They either have some kind of contract or he doesn't want to "quit" midway but he also doesn't want to debut and be bound to the company/by a contract

Shao Ziheng isn't even one of my top picks so maybe I don't have the full picture or maybe I'm in the wrong places but I've been seeing things and I need to vent, ppl are starting to move very weird towards this boy and it's starting to piss me off, because why are people acting like they don't know how kpop survival shows work all of a sudden?? Have we not established years ago that they're more of a popularity contest than a talent one, at least this is one of the cases where his popularity is backed up by some insane talent (and actually deserves to be in one of the top spots), like I'm seeing people complaining about a bunch of things that have been very regular and very common for survival shows and weren't an issue until it's about him. I might be overthinking it, but it's starting to look like people are about to switch up on him for no reason other than the fact that he's popular, I can just feel it bubbling. I really hope I'm wrong and I hope if it happens his fandom is big and strong enough to carry him

Yes to everything said in that tweet, basically what I wanted to say, thank you. The director definitely gave me more faith, the cast is also great and it's such an interesting plot, they really have a chance to make a great show so I'm really hopeful

It's what he deserve honestly, he's so talented, I'm hoping gmm would also start pushing him as a performer soon, he's incredible

They played this off as a more of a light somewhat comedy in the trailer and I know a lot of people want fluff for Perth Santa, but I'm really hoping this is going to be heartbreaker, I hope it's more about the struggle and learning how to navigate it, Perth and Santa are great actors they would do so well with some angst, also the topic is tricky so a bit more serious approach is needed.

Other than that, I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED!! I was hoping but I didn't know if they'd get another project and I definitely didn't think it was going to be so soon

You don't even know what my "standards" are?? There's nothing in my comment about why I think that, but sure...

This can turn out really good or really bad, no in between...pls don't disappoint me and pls don't be goofy 🙏

You pretty much answered yourself with the last paragraph, couples are just more profitable, plus there's the fact they'd probably rather have a pair that's already proven it's chemistry, is well liked and as a bonus has a fandom who will guarantee the show's success (at least numbers wise), basically "tested and proven", than risk a new random pair who can turn out terrible.

I don't think this would be an issue if the couples were given diverse roles and good scripts, a good example is OffGun in "Not me", it was like rediscovering them, I completely fell in love with them all over again, or AouBoom, they're on 4th series now and I wouldn't mind if they have a hundred more because each role/couple was completely different from the other. So I think the problem is typecasting, and overall recycling the same plot, which gmm does A LOT

It's not like he made cinematic masterpieces before, or that UWMA itself was a masterpiece, let's be honest, it was a good/fine show at best, that was mostly carried by the plot/story and acting (mainly Earth and Fluke)
