I wanted to watch it, but after all that mess with BothNewyear and the producer, I'm not sure if I should.…
The reason I would believe it is because I can see how a producer could do that. I don't think it's right - but I suppose producing a BL drama doesn't really mean you have to support LGBT, as weird as it sounds. A producer would probably see a difference between a character and "the real deal". Still a bit weird and discriminatory as heck. Poor Both, tbh ;;;;______:
Q for those who expressed dissatisfaction with the male lead looking too young and consider droping it or not…
I think "looking young" matters for acting, though, Of course looking younger in real life scenarios doesn't change your age - but if you're casting the lead role for a tv series and the character you're casting for is a child, you generally don't want to actually be working with a child actor but you still want the actor to look young. So looking, or looking old, matters for actors because their job literally IS to change the way they act.
In regards to appearance being less important than the story, that is true but at the same time appearance is actually a large factor (and in my opinion should be). It's like saying the plot is more important than the costumes, so in a period drama you just have everyone wear modern clothes; it doesn't work. Certain characters are supposed to look certain ways, whether it's young or old, cute or more mature, tough or gentle. And being realistic, if the actors are more attractive it tends to draw in more viewers (you can call it shallow, I suppose it is, but it's pretty natural and expected).
"# The Cellmates (Defendant)"
lmaooooooo yes. the whole drama is great overall, too.
i actually had no idea about Chief Kim at all which is so weird because i really, really like Goong Min, so thank you for including it! i'm totally gonna go check it out. looking forward to seeing the sociopath and the psycho~ ahahhaha
I'm going to be upset forever that Seongkyu died tho. I ended up liking Seok in the end. Jeongwoo's wink... lmaooooo. Looks like they left the ending open so they have the possibility of a season two !!!!!~
In the first episode when he was trying to hold her up so she didn't get hit by the car, she was about to cross the road and it said "2 minutes until accident", so if he had've let her go then it would've been fine too ahahahhaa I'm sure she wouldn't take 2 minutes to cross the road
LMAO DID ANYONE NOTICE THE EXID UP AND DOWN PARODY? In the jail cell, episode 5 around 12 minutes in, when the prisoners were arguing whether it was the prisoner's "stomach" or "bowels" that were rotten it sounded like "위아래"/ "Up and Down" ahahah
