"Toxic." lol Spoken like a true SJW.

ITSAY and IPYTM came from Thailand. :) What's been freaking me out are people saying BB is as good or better than those shows. One commenter said BB is THE best series of ANY kind they have ever seen. OK, given, they're probably seven years old, but still, haven't they seen "Batman?"

Thank you for taking the time to think through and write all this out. I appreciate it. As you might guess, I disagree with nearly everything you wrote about the show. Without rehashing all the ways I've trashed it here before, I'd sum it up as having an amateur/high school play quality about it in almost every respect. It blows my mind that people who love ITSAY and IPYTM could also like this. I am not even going to try to understand that. To me, the first two are the BEST and this is one of the WORST. I didn't care for TOATS myself. That had much more the feel of BB to me.

Anyway, whatever. Thanks again for sharing your perspective.

Take my negativity and shove it, douche. Naturally, you ignored all my questions and instead added yet another demonstration of how someone who knows something they're fawning over is crap: They keep whining about those 2 comments out of a hundred that don't agree with them. I guess you are too stupid to work the "block" process here so ask the mods. But before you go, maybe share with the class how some comments on a board can "ruin" a good show? lol You're right, I'm so old I'm sitting in a dirty diaper in front of my computer hooked up to a defibrillator, an oxygen tank and a dialysis maching while pissing out my catheter tube. And I STILL have more brain cells in the turds in my diaper than you have in your head.

Far from perfect, but I laughed my ass off, then cried it back on. I don't think the end was freaking dumb. Care to share what about you think IS?

On edit: I take it back, a day later: I've thought about this movie quite a bit since I watched it yesterday and I have to agree that pretty much the entire bridge sequence was dumb and full of plot holes and improbabilities. Why didn't he just lift the bag over his head up for a second so the prez-to-be could see it was him? Why would that one high-up assistant to the head bad guy be driving a huge dump truck to do the deed? Wouldn't that be kind of hard to explain? Why use a truck at all? Stupid, inefficient method. Quite a few other things, not really plot holes, but just bad writing as you said.

Still, I found the acting of the leads really good and the sequence with the daughter/car/hospital/parents was gut-wrenching. I bawled my eyes out.

More than anything, the wild change in tone from comedy to tragic drama/thriller was bizarre.

100% YES.

I can't be the first person to finish watching this who thought "wow, what a wildly uneven ride!" I pulled this up online because I'be bawled my eyes out over so many Korean movies of late that I wanted a Korean laugh and this looked like just the trick. And yes, there were some pretty funny moments early on...and then for a bit it got boring...and then wtf, omg, what am I watching and then I'm bawling my eyes out all over again.

Comedy.
Tragedy.
Drama.
Political thriller.
Tearjerker.

Not too many movies can do all that and not be a complete mess. There are a few messes along the way in this flick that didn't get cleaned up but I don't really care. It wasn't going for an Oscar but it made a lot of salient points that need to never stop being made, it made me laugh and then roll my eyes (but not for long) and then it made me cry...again. Jesus, me and my crying during Korean flicks.

8/10

I waded into Asian cinema by way of Thai BLs, then Japanese, Taiwanese, Filipino and a very few Korean gay flicks, then Japanese, Taiwanese, Filipino, Chinese and Korean movies of all genres. For a while I was often put off by elements of Korean cinema/culture/language and never expected much to come of it. Now the largest share of my favorite movies, gay or straight, are Korean. They keep me hopping.

I'm also a firm Jong Woo fan now. I know I've seen him in at least one other thing and I'll hunt that down, but wow the man is funnier than hell and a killer dramatic actor too. And incredibly sexy and charismatic without being drop-dead, unapproachable runway model-handsome, which is the best kind of sexy.

I'm curious, Gee. At what point did you drop it? I remember thinking the same thing at some point but stuck with it and I'm glad I did. WILDLY UNEVEN RIDE but I came out glad I went in.

Gosh, you're hysterically funny.

I focus on the stupid shit they're saying quite a bit actually. Maybe try reading more than one of my comments?

Hey, bitch, I'm here because I want and choose to be. Other than that, don't owe you squat in the way of an explanation. Isn't it kind of weird that out of over 35,000 comments here you're blowing pubes out of your follicles over the 20 or so that are mine? How are my comments "ruining it" for everyone? Ignore me, twat-breath. Block me. You're so touchy and psycho-defensive about your BB show because there's a part of you that knows it's shit. Oh...sorry. Am I ruining things for you again? Hope so.

Wow, you're kind of touchy about this LDR topic, eh? Did I demand an explanation? Did I say your chosen arrangement isn't "real life?" Did I say your relationship isn't "real?" No I did not. Why is discussing LDR is 2022 a "new low?" You're awfully defensive.

Weird is fun. Weird is good. Blessed be the weird.

lol. There is a comical interpretation to it that makes sense. Perhaps you're not American? That would explain it.

Everything is by choice. Maybe both of you sense it wouldn't work if you were geographically close, I don't know, but unless there's a gun to your head, don't tell me it's not by choice.

People who say they love each other like Pran and Pat do, and who choose to live together in the same location...that's "real life" too.

Actually, viewed in some lights, perhaps there IS a Satanism angle at work here...

Having been spun into gut-sobbing fits of ugly-crying (like the commenter below) by five or six Korean films I've watched in the last few weeks, I got about 3/4 of the way through this one and even when things turned tragic, thought "maybe I'll get thru this one without the snot-flinging break-down tonight..." And then the roses arrived...

The two lead actors in this were already among my favorite male Korean actors, and this will seal the deal. For SHK I kept thinking "where have I seen this guy before...?" I think the surgical scar was enough to throw me off. As for WB, not only does he have the sexiest upper lip in all of Asia, he too is a fine actor. And the mom...just exceptional.

How the surviving brother will live with the knowledge of his role in how his brother's death came about, I have no idea. Nor do I know why, if you took the same story and presented it in a Western country with Caucasian actors, it would move me much less deeply. I just know that Asian films make me feel everything times ten.

8.5/10

btw...I found you in my underwear the other night. Time for a trip to the drug store.

Oh, I don't consider it a waste at all. I wa.ss kind of interested to know how many hours are in a week, then 12 weeks, etc. Hadn't thought about it in a long time. If you think that's a waste, OK, don't do it.

I have yet to call anyone here "juvenile." Try reading for accuracy sometime. If you made the assumption that they are juvenile, that's on you. Are the people here commenting on how great BB is "taking time out of their life" to antagonzie ME, who clearly dislikes this show?

lol, You are full of "made-up," nonsensical statements.

Could you explain what makes you think I'm "mad?"

Don't worry about impressing anyone...you're not.
