No, dear, I am not confused.

I haven't witnessed the bullying you're referring to, so I can't speak on it.

Regarding the "delusional shipper" accusation, yes, that was harsh, especially if it's legitimately not applicable to you; but, this is such a prevalent issue in the BL community that it's grown into a sickness that's eating the actors alive and will likely end up destroying the industry if it isn't brought under control. Outside of the Thai BL community, actors are encouraged to pair with multiple acting partners, as that's the best way to ensure their professional and personal growth. The way Thailand handles this is incredibly crippling to these young people and the fans who push for this continued practice are often emotionally unhealthy individuals who developed obsessive parasocial bonds with these pairings.

As for you claiming you haven't insulted anyone-- I suppose you're not able to discern that your manner of replying has crossed into the very type of discourse you're accusing KJTBOY of. Sometimes, I've fallen prey to this, myself. Whenever I begin to communicate in the same manner of those I dislike, that's when I know it's time for me to take a break from social media.

I agreed with most of what you wrote, except for "BossNoeul chemistry is not as strong as you described." They most definitely do have very strong chemistry, BUT if they're both good actors on their own, they can generate incredible chemistry with other actors, those who have the right intangibles traits that sync up well with them. Chemistry isn't something that is automatic. Two brilliant actors can have the chemistry of dry flour-- bland and awful to swallow. This is why chemistry screen tests are usually done as part of the final process to hiring actors for a projects. Each actor can do stellar auditions, but when paired together they're boring.

You're really going on tangents and insulting people, as though being nasty is in fashion. Are you alright?

My stubborn will to try and finish every book and series I begin led me to what was essentially self-induced torture. You were much better off tapping out at episode 5. 😅

Yes, superficial and intellectually lazy. Honestly, you can do better with your insults, can't you? Try again, child. I'm rooting for you.

I didn't respond merely to drop senseless words under your comment. My reply was in direct reference to what you wrote, offering a different perspective. Yes, it IS possible to get actors who look the part, but often those actors are rubbish at acting. Instead of focusing on superficial appearances, how about allowing the characters to be brought to life by the actors who are playing the parts?

Honestly, you're seemingly hyper-focused on humans matching cartoon appearances. Maybe nuance dialogs and perspectives don't interest you, which is fine.

Ciao.

Yes! Their drinking culture is absurd. I can't count how many series I've watched that depict the characters drinking until they can barely walk. It appears to be a national pastime to gorge on alcohol beyond the point of reason; yet, someone can lose their career for puffing on grass or treating depression with prescription drugs? What type of foolishness is that?

I have other things to do with my life and I assume he does, as well. For me, the purpose of my life is far greater than a singular loved one and that purpose drives me forward without hesitation and with intense joy. I know, now, that despite how my choice came about, I ended up making the best decision for my life and I hope he has, as well.

Adorable! And, when it comes to the pitfalls of corporate life in many industrial countries, very pertinent.

They are essentially the same thing. The "movie" is basically the series re-edited, with some scenes removed that were in the series and a few added in that were missing from the series.

People can look the part, yet are terrible at acting.

Actually, he also looks very similar to Xu Bin, who portrays Wu Bi in Stay with Me, Truth be told, he looks more like Xu Bin than Xu Kai.

Glad to learn that the "some people [who] claim that Wanda is like Jaemin{ are in a meager minority.

Maybe! 🙂

🙃 Trauma can block our ability to be emotionally honest, as we hide away our delicate hearts to prevent them from being smashed again; therefore, a person's outward behavior sometimes doesn't reveal their emotional truth. Between the two of them, one's an actor with no emotional shields-- he loves like a star in the sky, shining his light without reservations, while the other is a chef hiding behind walls of strictly controlled behaviors and emotional distance. As for the chef's real feelings? Keep watching.

I thought the very same thing. The similarities in their appearance-- even their walks-- were eerie. Iwase Yuji is more muscular, but I kept seeing Xu Kai's face, especially when Yoji smiled. I can't believe they're not related.

So the man isn't, at all, being blamed for his own self-destructive and violent behavior? How typical.

This drama left me feeling warm and safe-- the type of feelings that the character Dong Uk required to feel safe enough to sleep peacefully.

So many miscommunications or lost opportunities in romantic relationships are caused by fear of rejection or inability to recognize or accept one's own deep need for a safe and loving connection. Love doesn't need to be the type of raging and chaotic storms that are prevalent in dramas-- those that toss us to and fro and leave us shaken. Love can be as gentle as a summer breeze and, often, it is this type of gentle love that heals us, as we are left feeling safe enough to unfurl and fully open our hearts, just as the petals of a flower do in the warming rays of the sun.

A Breeze of Love represented this emotional truth very well.

I agree that it's the type of drama that left me with a warm and safe feeling-- the type of feelings that Dong Uk required to feel safe enough to sleep peacefully.

That is what this entire series represented to me.

Interestingly. the actor who portrays Yun always looks like that-- he looks exactly the same in his profile picture and in the series Checkered Shirt. He's just one of those people who appears to be wearing makeup, but naturally has shadowed skin around his eyes.
