Love the premise. Love a different take on BL. Perfect for social commentary, which was handled okay but could have been much better overall. Not sure they needed to be as violent and gory as they were. Grateful they let the boys wash the blood off themselves before they made love on the rooftop. The gratuitous sex scenes COULD have been okay, if they put them in the context of "the world is ending and we're going wild" - but it just seemed like they threw them in for titillation purposes. Liked the brother story and especially the Auntie they befriended. Wish she could have stayed around longer. Art was good, but Best was out of his league, I think. They needed a much stronger actor in that role. One who could actually cry when called upon - and he fake cries A LOT. It was a bit all over the place and the pacing was very slow. I didn't hate it but I wouldn't recommend it.
Since this particular plot point came so early in the show, I am guessing that the controversy of a workplace…
Does this story have problems, yes. Is it a fantasy? Of course. It's fiction. All fiction is fantasy. It's a rom com. Are they doing this to disparage Korean people? Absolutely not. No single fictional character is ever meant to represent an entire country's people. Would this have been better if they addressed the workplace issues and imbalance of power. Sure. But that would have been an entirely different show. One that was ABOUT power. Not a rom com.
But please let's not make it a cultural issue. "it's not USA that they could just get a supprt by their parents and have a lot of opportunities". Ummmm... not EVERY kid in the USA gets supported by their parents. (I didn't) And not every kid has a lot of opportunities. - People in US need their jobs too. 38 Million people live below the poverty level there, work multiple jobs to make ends meet.
Broad generalizations like this don't help your argument.
Of course I'll watch, but not a fan of these mash-ups and obvious fan-service series. That said, some of my favorite characters from series past, so I'll hope for the best.
Holy crap the amount of hate I’m seeing for this series on here is insane. It’s okay to have an opinion, but…
I don't HATE what Phuwin is doing here, but I would say it's one of his weaker performances (and I've been a fan since "Cause You're My Boy"). I think he needs stronger direction.
I think we're dealing with a production crew where everybody flattered everyone else into thinking this series…
I see this in BL all the time. People meet, then there's a time cut and they are all at dinner and eating (so obviously they've had time to serve the meal) and then finally someone says, "Oh by the way this is my invisible friend" It's absolutely ridiculous. Shows these BL writers are not in touch with reality at all.
Eesh. Ep 1 was hard to get through. They seem to forget the pandemic when they want to... so why introduce it at all? Also, Johnny randomly knows or doesn't know "modern" concepts inconsistently. Not liking the way the "angel" (whatever you call that guy who transported him through time and can inhabit others bodies randomly) shows up randomly and helps out like a fairy godmother. Second/office couple much more interesting than the leads. I am almost positive I will drop this, because I don't think I can sit through 20 eps, but I'll give it a few more before, in the hopes that the romance may be more interesting than the sci-fi elements. We shall see.
I really wish people would stop complaining about the length of the episodes in KBLs. They are short because there's…
I don't understand it either. The length of an individual episode doesn't matter, as long as they have enough time to tell the story over the course of the entire series. And we've all watched 90 minute movies that were perfect, so these KBL's all have the time to tell satisfying stories.
