oh, I'm glad that Dear Hongrang will be released soon 🤗

This is what I remember about the anime...

My response to you is “is insulting, rude, and offensive”? Really, after the way you go off here in the comment section, you're accusing me of that?

Common Dude, really. Of course it affects how you communicate... You can't expect the other person to be nice and realize any mistakes if you go at them aggressively and hatefully....

Incidentally, I also see how Sae Ron was and is bullied. And that's exactly why I address KSH fans who are just dripping with double standards by the hate they spread about the woman but want to protect celebrities....

“people like you try to flip the script and play victim.” - People like me don't even feel addressed by your rants and hate speech. Because I don't speak in such a way. Besides apart from discussing the current status, I haven't done anything here. I just wanted to show you that there's more than black and white, that you're not treated more unfairly than others, but I'm not going to dwell on it either...

I also don't really care that you believe everything a man with money, power and connection throws at you without batting an eye, without knowing the real facts and that when he has changed his statement on relationship status several times. Do. I couldn't care less. Everyone is free to form their own opinion. In any case, you don't know the truth any more than anyone else.


However, I am not indifferent to the impact that certain statements here have on commentators that they announce s*icide here. I really don't want anyone to take these drastic steps, regardless of their status.

But yeah too bad, I used to know you differently, but if that makes you happy to deal with people like that....

That's all I have to say. Ciao ✌️

I can understand that. I also don't like it when rape is romanticized. My example would be History 4, I can't understand why the second couple is hyped. I find everything about it repulsive and wrong. Likewise a couple in Love by chance. I've also noticed that this fantasy is widespread in the BL genre. That's why I'm glad they kept the essence of the story in TopForm, but Jin is different than in the manga (which is from 2013). Fortunately, yes, there has been some development in recent years...
I didn't watch My Stand In precisely because I wrongly expected romanticized (psychological and physical) violence. But the same applies to me for Boys over Flower, for example. I tried to see all the versions (I saw Meteorgarden and liked it), but I realized that I found the story itself so problematic (the excessive violence as an expression of love) that I had to abandon everything except Meteorgarden.
But I have no problem with the subject matter being addressed for what it is, namely violence, and not glamorized... I think it's important to name it.

"Screenwriters have to stop adapting these novels, manga and manhwa that feature scenes of rape, harassment and obsession in the middle of 2025."

"Why doesn't Holiwood have the same brilliant idea?"
‐------------------

I couldn't tell from your statements that you're only interested in dark romance. It sounded like a general statement to me.

That's why I listed some examples that came to mind spontaneously, in which r*pe (Game of Thrones), harassment (and psychological violence) (50 Shades of Grey), as well as harassment and obsession (365 Days ) occur.

You asked why Hollywood didn't come up with the idea of making such films. All the films mentioned contain such scenes. In 365 Days she even marries her kidnapper, if I'm right. (Never saw the movie)... I.e. you can find several examples in which these things appear. And these things happen in real life. You shouldn't romanticize them. One should classify such scenes, but why not show them? It happens enough and it's better to draw attention to the danger than to sweep it under the carpet.

If they stick to the manga, your interpretation is not correct.

Where in the series is r*pe romanticized?

But speaking of Hollywood, examples that have enjoyed great popularity: 365 Days, 50 Shades of Grey, Game of Thrones...

And at the moment you are only interpreting that rape has taken place...

365 Days, 50 Shades of Grey, Game of Thrones...

You know I respect you, that's why I haven't responded to any of your comments here yet.

The mods are moderating away comments on both sides, which in my eyes is justified as it can have a negative impact on everyone.

What I don't like is that you're blanket labeling all critics of the actor as knetz and haters and putting the actor on par with deceased people who were bullied by extreme fans, including Sae Ron, who is still being bullied by KSH fans after her death. The people criticizing here (which is not always well worded) are not the ones who bullied Sae Ron...

Your phrase all critics are wrong and all supporters are right is simply not correct. Because the fact is that KSH lied multiple times about the relationship. We will never know the actual truth of the matter. However, it is everyone's right to express an opinion and also criticism. The right to speak out does not only lie with his supporters.

However, anyone who takes the moral high ground and warns others not to write aggressively about him, but then takes a hateful, aggressive tone against critics and Sae Ron + family, is no better than the people you detest... If you're against bullying, you shouldn't be bullying yourself.


Since someone here on the site has already expressed s*icidal intentions due to the situation and the comments here and has not been online since, I think it is overdue for the moderators to intervene. This person has argued purely factually and does not correspond to the clientele into which you want to put every critic. However, the reactions of some people to this announcement have been deeply revealing. These people don't have to tell me that they want to prevent a s*icide...

Despite all the discussion, if you're really interested in defusing it, you don't take a “justifiably aggressive” approach to your counterpart...
I have also criticized KSH here without being abusive or insulting and have been called all sorts of things here... Is that exactly how I reacted to the insults? No.
The discussion is highly emotional for several reasons and if I want to change something, I should set a good example. Even if you can't understand the other person's opinion. (However, I don't always succeed, especially when I perceive double standards.)

He was not r*ped... They didn't have sex. The scene only suggests that and Akin had a blackout and doesn't know what happened.

I don't know whether these are high standards per se. In principle, that's not a bad thing, as BL continues to develop as a result.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that dramas starring well-known and popular BL couples with a large fan base are generally rated better no matter what the content looks like... That's why I don't really rely on the MDL rating anymore, but read ratings in the comments and for very popular BL couples, I value critical and factual ratings...

Everything here is solid and decently realized, even if the plot is cliche and simple. But I enjoy it as a relaxed series for in-between. You know what you're getting and that's good for the soul :)

For all those who are considering watching the series: Do it. The current rating of 7.3 does not reflect the quality of the drama.

The plot is solid, even if you already know in episode 1 that the lack of communication is the real obstacle. The execution and acting is good. The episodes are quite short. I think the drama would do better if 2 episodes a week were aired. The series is probably better suited for binge-watching.

But the show is solid and good and should be at least an 8.0.

It will be different than it seems after this episode... Even if it's still sexually assaultive. The scene itself is not too graphic but leaves enormous room for interpretation.

Well, the anime is even more blatant in that respect... And TopForm sticks to the story, albeit much toned down... However, it will also be different here than it seems... So have a little patience 😉

Rest in peace 😢🕊🤍

Yes, thank you! 🫶 I'm still worried about the person and I hope that she will get in touch one day. I won't forget the incident and what caused it. But the distance and the encounters with lovely people have helped me a lot.

And I've realized for myself that I'm once again glad I was never part of such a toxic fan culture. Since then, I've occasionally looked at some of the comments here to smile and have discovered the block function for myself 😄

Aah, I love how they're bringing out the essence of the show while finally rationalizing away the critical scenes.... Love the series.

Next, I'd love to see Heaven Offical's Blessing from the director and screenwriters, starring Boom and Smart.

Thank you, I have formed my own opinion... However, I do not allow myself to be blinded by power and money in order to form an informed opinion, nor do attempts at intimidation affect my opinion-forming. I do, however, like to point out your double standards from time to time, which you frequently display here. Like just now...

But that's all I'm going to talk to you about. I realize every time that you are inferior to me in terms of argumentation and I don't want to embarrass you any further.

According to an earlier essay of hers that “analyzed” the commentators on this site and drew crude conclusions from it, she is actually nothing more than a bot.
