You summed up my feelings perfectly

Well that was tragic AF. That really got to me. Internalized homophobia is so cruel and destructive.

Oh man, promiscuous ukes falling in love are my jam. Came in with no expectations and ended up loving episode 1.

I have never seen a bad performance from her. She's beautiful and a wonderful actress.

If you name it Boston you better get it neutered quick or else it's going to try to sleep with everyone and everything 😂

I know the misunderstandings are silly and they would annoy me on other shows but dang it they really work for me here for some reason. I find them charming and hilarious.

sorry I only know so many 🤣

The biggest is My Beautiful Man/Utsukushi Kare. The Novelist (or Pornographer) series also has some elements of this. For movies there's Double Mints and The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese.

Thanks!

In episode 19 why the heck did the FL trust anonymous and open that box after she had just handed her over to be tortured recently. Did she not know the box was from her? Even so why did they have such a friendly conversation? ...please no spoilers from later episodes

Maybe I'm crazy but I don't see the ending as a definitive sad ending. It actually feels pretty hopeful to me. I think it wouldn't have fit with the tone of the film to have a happy reunion as the last scene. It would tie things up too neatly in a bow for a couple that's very tumultuous. But I absolutely believe Imagase returns sometime after the film is over (not because of the manga but because of what we've seen in the movie).

It was added to Viki today!

It's on Viki now! Added today. I'm so excited excited.

I think it's funny that the director of the Japanese project is depicted as pervy for staring at the actors during the kiss scenes, and yet the director of this actual drama is depicting a couple 99% made of semi-explicit sex scenes. You can't have it both ways lol.

😂 May we survive the wait for part two!

I'm definitely keeping the country's context in mind. S Korea is early in it's LGBT representation journey on television, and could still be in the realm "of any representation is good representation". But even within the few examples in mainstream dramas I have felt spoiled though, like Life is Beautiful or Prison Playbook. I feel like they are entering the stage where we should be able to hope for more and better. I agree about holding my judgement until the whole drama is over though, but his glare at the FL at the end didn't feel promising.

I really liked that it was the FL who decided not to go with him. I was afraid it would be a dumb misunderstanding or her fiance would lock her up or something, so I was really relieved it was an intentional character choice.

I really could have done without the conniving gay character in love with the ML. It just feels very early 2000s gay stereotypes. It's realistic that a gay man back then would have a one sided love but I think for a modern show his story didn't add value and played into harmful cliches. Curious if anyone has a vastly different opinion to mine.

I love her so much. She is so over the top compared to everyone else but she just makes it work. She is very much needed comedic relief in this dark series.

People said how randomly placed the sex scene was but I was not prepared for just how random it was 🤣.
