"... mostly westernized people"
Being gay isn’t a recent innovation exported from the West. Gay people have been present throughout history and across non-Western cultures. My experience confirms it. I felt same-sex attraction before Western content was introduced to me
Affectionate gestures between members of the same sex, hand-holding, hugging, and kissing, can signify platonic or unacknowledged romantic feelings. Shippers explore and expand on the romantic ones
Imaginative explorations pose no harm to your or other people's personal connections. Those who let our words or comments (e.g., "you'd be a cute couple") disrupt their "friendships" have themselves to blame. They give more power to our words than the value they place on their "friendships"

"Most of the ASIANs will definitely give up everything to live in US"
I wouldn't, not everyone is lining up to live in a place where inequality runs rampant and healthcare costs an arm and a leg. Then again, every country has its own version of these problems

"3 HOT guys!!! hahahah Hui Su - CUTE, Seung Won - HANDSOME HOT and Chang Yeong - HOT HOT HOOOOOOTTTT!!!! Oh my…
"Go home and suck your dad's tiny dirty dick and finger your bitch mother!"
"Let others share their opinions," you say, while spewing incestuous vulgarity at us for sharing our opinions. You might want to unpack that, in private
Seriously, the director knew what they were doing with the marketing. Kpop has been queerbaiting for ages.They…
The director knew his audience and marketed accordingly
Straight media fans go bonkers over a mere two seconds of eye contact between a man and a woman. Have you pointed out to them that their obsession is deranged? Or are you singling out BL fans?
"3 HOT guys!!! hahahah Hui Su - CUTE, Seung Won - HANDSOME HOT and Chang Yeong - HOT HOT HOOOOOOTTTT!!!! Oh my god!!!"
Are you watching a drama or a modeling competition? Look past the eye candy and you’ll find the reason for the poor ratings
"I rather watch a slow romantic build up than watching a BL that is all sex sex sex, kiss kiss kiss and the dialogues and story is trash!"
You’d rather watch a bunch of hot faces stare at each other than, you know, feel something? Eye candy can’t carry the plot. This drama's straight trash and drags out the gay romance for an entire season
Apparently the actor playing Heesu was a minor(at the time of filming) so he could not kiss.
The source material didn’t shy away from same-sex intimacy (e.g., kisses). Producers should've hired an adult who doesn’t need parental supervision on set
Yeah expect that most focus is on straight pairs & their hobbies.
"I am truly sorry that you did not get the story you wanted in this series. Frequently when something we love is adapted in a way that is different than what we envisioned it can be upsetting"
I appreciate the increased understanding shown in this response towards those who found the adaptation lacking
The inclusion of a straight story in the adaptation not only disrupted the cohesiveness of the overarching gay story but also, independent of any deviations from the source material, prevented me from engaging with or deriving enjoyment from it
Your preferences lean toward the parts of the drama that made it enjoyable for you
Every time a gay romance doesn’t involve a marathon of misery or endless straight distractions, people like…
“At no point am I criticizing the BL bubble, just saying that not all queer media has to live there, and that some stories can’t be told from within the BL bubble"
That's fair
In my previous interactions with homophobes, I've seen them use the word "bubble" to imply we're disconnected from reality, delusional, or ignorant. Fearing that you might be using the term in the same disparaging manner to attack happy gay stories, I responded defensively, and for that, I apologize
I believe the "BL bubble" is a safe space, nurturing gay relationships away from the suffocating influence of heteronormativity. We know all too well the trials and tribulations that await us beyond the confines of this safe space. It's not imperative for our entertainment to subject us to those trials

BL didn’t ruin anything. Your system just crashes at the sight of romance between men. Might want to update your software

I’m returning the favor. Straight media doesn’t make room for gay stories, and I don’t make room for straight ones in BLs and GLs
"My Love mix up has also a straight couple, i cant remember such a complaining"
I didn't watch it, or I'd have complained about it
"Your arguments are weak"
Their arguments are "weak?" Yours are on life support and whispering their final words!
A gay person shouldn't have to watch his crush in a straight relationship to move on. That’s poor storytelling
