Anyway, I also have to make a very firm disclaimer since someone kept on thinking (across several different series)…
I feel bad that you thought you should explain yourself and disclose personal details. I have never thought that you post excessively. And you're always polite and never bully anyone.
It's pretty funny that out of all the enthusiastic reactors on here you got picked out for the accusation that you're a shill for GMMTV.
I hope this won't make you hesitate to post in the future. I enjoy your contributions!
It would be a personal attack if I had said “Nobody cares what you think, you sad, attention-seeking fool.” But I don’t post comments like that. I prefer to debate the facts. ;)
A personal attack would be you asking someone what's "up their ass" after they told you nobody cares what you think. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As for you, there are no personal attacks against you here for me to ignore. You're being set off solely by the fact that people disagree with your opinion or criticize your behavior. Read for yourself.
LOL ... Extra points for being so insecure that you pepper everything with personal insults.
Although the thought might cause you existential panic, sometimes the people who think you're making a fool of yourself really do think you're making a fool of yourself.
You think you're the first MDLer to act out like this? Most of the ones I've seen tend to be newbies who are used to battling on sites where viciousness is part of the charm, like reddit. Those personal insults on here, though, will eventually get your comments reported, and after a few get deleted the powers that be will probably just mute your account.
Sadly, though, until that happens I doubt you'll be able to stop. If history holds true, instead of refusing to watch this terrible series anymore and move on, you'll return here each week to blow things up again, then write more raunchy personal attacks against the people who take the bait.
I just urge my fellow Bad Buddy fans to report any of this guy's personal attacks (on you or on anyone else) by using the "Report" link on the upper right of each comment. Trust me, it works.
In short, what the premise of the show set-up and eluded to from the get go is the truth. Jung Woo's character…
Wow. One of the best reaction/analysis comments I've ever read on here.
Unfortunately, every Kdrama I've watched featuring an evil character ends up redeeming that character at the end, come hell or high water. The effect is like the evil character has a personality transplant in the final episode while everyone else takes a forgetfulness pill that lets them trust the person who up until then has done everything to screw them over.
so Korean BLs are just getting high ratings by default because they're Korean, right? I mean, some of them are…
One of the worst setups for "enemies to lovers" that I've seen -- and I live for that trope so I've seen a lot of them.
Fall in love with the arrogant a-hole who is trying to steal your job? Riiiight.
I think part of this one's appeal is that people are fainting over how sexy Jang Eui Soo is -- proof if we ever needed any that BL first and foremost appeals to straight women.
I'm going to keep watching because I'm curious to see how they pull this disaster into the station -- the same reason I kept watching "2gether" lol.
I started rewatching this series after a long time away from it and I'm finding that I enjoy it more the second time around. Knowing the outcome doesn't feel like a spoiler -- instead it has made it possible for me to bond with more of the contestants and to see if the production staff seems to already be showing a preference toward any of the eventual winners (which I believe happened on Chuang 2021.)
In "YWY3" I don't detect any favoritism, which I think has increased my appreciation after Chuang 2021 and its insistence on shoving Mika in my face every 20 minutes.
I'm up to Episode 8, so the first elimination hasn't yet taken place, and at this point I don't notice any difference in the way the series has been edited post-scandal.
The only change I've seen so far is that they renamed the "Expression" stage to the "I Want" stage in the subtitles and on-screen translations.
A couple of questions!
Does anyone know the reason for Hussein leaving the show? He was gone after that first round of Position tryouts where he was part of the "Gravity" performance by members of Class N.
And is there anything to the way some of the guys (like Jeremy, Jacky, and Hussein) wear little stuffed animals pinned to their clothes during a performance? It's endearing as hell.
I tried but got to Episode 4 and just couldn't take it anymore. Utterly lacking in every way. It should be a crime to waste perfectly good actors on crapola like this.
It feels great to have expectations MET for a change.
The end credits are everything. If you're feeling blue waiting for next Friday just run those past you again.
It's the small details that matter. The moment of eye contact here -- the detail that so often is rendered in some stereotypical way -- was so well-integrated into the story that it didn't actually take you OUT of the story.
The thing is, it's still hard to trust Chef Choi's sincerity at just about every turn.
When he made that breakfast I would have liked the character more if he'd made something simple but tasty, rather than try to show off again by outdoing Chef Yoon with Yoon's own favorite post-hangover meal. And then Choi actually asked him to rate it. The guy should chill and be non-competitive for a few minutes.
Are we supposed to think that he followed Chef Yoon into the storage room and to the beach for any other reason than to get more info on what he's planning to make? It's a big contrast to Chef Yoon, who doesn't give a rat's ass about what Chef Choi is going to use in his dish.
The shivering in the storage room was done very well. They really looked like they were cold and uncomfortable. The only thing that gave it away was that you couldn't see their breath condensing as they exhaled. (What's the term for that, anyway? lol)
I'm enjoying the series but I wish I liked both main characters.
The restaurant owner is hopelessly unscrupulous. It looks like she could be the main thing that brings the guys together.
Also, I like how they preview the next episodes with photographs instead of video.

I expect nothing less from this sh*tshow.

Oh god I'm so happy with this I could cry.
