Kinda peeped it was going to be bad when the author said the drama has its own ‘charm.’ It’s like a polite way of saying, “It’s not what I wrote, but support it anyway.”
Honestly, it feels good to see all the hate this show is getting, since I’ve been a certified hater ever since episode 1 dropped. I just wanted it to be the same as the manhwa😔.
There's a huge difference between giving a negative review, and giving a false misleading review. Most of us don't…
“….than a random gay couple who are just friends with the leads and has nothing to do with the story, just there for random cute scenes…” You basically just described the token straight couple
And why are you so pressed over other people’s opinions? If you wanna watch the show, watch it. If a random comment almost made you not watch it… that’s kinda on you, not them. No one’s holding you hostage, babe.
I really liked this episode — honestly, the best one yet. We got real growth in Seongwon and Heesu’s relationship. Seongwon used to quietly sit back and listen to Heesu and his sisters bicker, and now he finally has a seat at the table. I also loved that they started diving deeper into Seongwon’s character, and the reveal of his two lesbian moms had me so happy I could cry. (Not gonna lie, I was ready to downvote and drag the shit out of the show if they skipped over them after all that straight couple nonsense. I still want to see his moms together on screen, but this was a good start.)
And of course, the trio — Jiyu, Heesu, and Seongwon — are just so cute and chaotic.
Ji Yu is acting like a proper supporting character/ally and pushing Seung Won/Hee Su together. Meanwhile, Chanyoung is out here like, ‘Let me be boring and take up screen time.’ Sir, pick a struggle: bland tennis or bland romance—not both, jebal
“Do people get mad because i'm different? or does the thought of being different make them uncomfortable? or is it simply that... i'm the problem being myself?" Such a raw, honest look into what so many queer people quietly struggle with. The representation, the realness… Protect heesu at all cost.
The amount of people arguing in the comments about whether there should be a straight couple in a KBL or not is…
I get that people have different preferences, but the issue here isn’t just about having a straight couple in a BL. It’s about replacing an existing gay couple from the original story with a straight one. That kind of change feels like erasure, especially when BL is one of the few genres that gives LGBTQ+ relationships proper focus. People have every right to be upset about that.
I hope you gay and lesbian and straight people know that bisexuals exists and we enjoy both! Stop invalidating…
No one is invalidating bisexuality. The issue here is that a same-sex couple was changed to a straight couple, which follows a pattern of LGBTQ+ erasure in media. If the adaptation had kept them as a same-sex couple while acknowledging bisexuality, that would be great. But replacing a gay couple with a straight one isn’t ‘bi representation’—it’s just removing queerness altogether.
Also, Being an ally means standing up for all LGBTQ+ representation, including bisexual people. But defending the erasure of a same-sex couple by calling it ‘bisexuality’ isn’t representation—it’s just reinforcing heteronormativity. True allyship means recognizing when queer relationships are being sidelined, not making excuses for it.

Protect heesu at all cost.
Honestly, I don’t think the straight couple should even have equal screen time—that’s not what we’re here for.
The so called “heterophobic” comments are so hilarious.
