apathy

yea i was not expecting that.

i actually really like that the drama is just different enough from the webtoon to be unpredictable but not so different it doesn’t have the semantic error feel, you know?

i think ppl are calling it bisexual bcs earth’s character likes mix’s character before the body swap (so while he was a guy), likes him after the body swap (in the body of a girl), and continues to like him when he’s back in his body (so a guy). we will have to see how it plays out before we can say it’s feeding into harmful tropes or not imho

i mean three things 1) as you said it being advertised as gay is not confirmed 2) mix’s character could be gay? and 3) in my country at least gay is an umbrella term much like queer

so i feel like this outrage, at most, is premature

apart from MDL tagging it as gay ive seen nothing. it’s advertised as BL as far i’m aware, which just means mlm, which includes bi men.

😩 welp here’s to hoping someone subs and posts to dramacool. i usually like watching on official sites but i ain’t waiting 3 months

haha, op is definitely entitled to their opinion. i was just shook. i thought earthmix was one of the few pairings all bl fans agreed on

i’m so taken aback by this comment because it’s the exact opposite of my view lol. earthmix is pretty much the only gmmtv pairing that’s blown me away chemistry wise. in fact, i think they have some of the best chemistry among bl pairings in general lol. i do think mix is a stronger actor, but i don’t think earth is bad by any means.

i’m pretty excited for this! i don’t really like explicit manhwas bcs im like mentally scarred from all the cheating, sexual assault, and promiscuity (no offense), but cherry blossoms is one of the few i’ve come across without all of that. not only that but the story is romantic and fluffy. i think the plot will translate well into a drama.

i also didn’t like light on me, which is pretty rare seeing as everyone was obsessed with it, but i do like semantic error, so maybe you can trust my word a little more and give it a chance lol

really? i didn’t see that

i was pleasantly surprised by this! i think the plot is pretty innovative, minus the obligatory engineering student part lol. the arranged marriage doesn’t seem *too* unrealistic to me, or at least why hia lian agreed to it. it’s pretty evident that he’s feeling a sense of familial obligation. yes, no one is outright guilting him into it, but i think he feels indebted to kuea’s family/grandfather regardless. i’m still not sure whether he knows kuea is kirin, but i think that will become more clear next episode. my only contention so far, as mentioned in earlier comments, is the casual colourist comments, but unfortunately i’m quite used to that. it’s not by any means acceptable, but it’s not unique to this drama. i did like that hia lian’s character shuts down some homophobia/transphobia tho, so we have some progress on that front.

i have to say this is the most i’ve been attracted to zee. something about being a rich stern business man suits him lol.

viki is only at 84% and the dramacool subs that i found are delayed 😩

are there any good complete subs yet?

i’m a firm believer in ppl expressing their opinions, hesitations, or concerns, especially on a platform like this that is meant for discussions, but i have to admit the non stop negativity, not just on this page, but what seems like every 2022 BL page, is getting annoying. i get that a lot of BLs have been quite problematic; in fact, i took a break because of it, but i don’t think it’s necessarily fair to hold that past against every upcoming and airing bl. it’s also not fair to hold these stories to standards that other genres are not expected to meet.

i guess what i’m saying is give these shows a chance before holding them to the fire for being problematic or at least give room for any other discussion to take place bcs i’m so over scrolling through these battles and arguments.

the best korean bl of 2021 was to my star. semantic error is shaping up to be the best kbl of 2022 methinks

viki needs to step up their sub game. maybe they need to start paying their subbers or something like other platforms do bcs a lot of shows are subbed pretty slowly so ppl end up pirating instead

she’s super cute in the manhwa. i don’t dislike her character in the drama but i do find she’s a bit more upfront? like more intense about pursuing him romantically lol

for his age? isn’t he like 26 lol

maybe a love square since ha yeon’s sister has the same appearance as yeon seok’s first love
