I don't see how Korea standing with Israel invalidate anything i wrote

It being insensitive and it being part of the actual efforts made by Israel to justify the genocide taking place in Palestine is still not the same thing.

I think a lot of people are being really ethnocentric in their appreciation.
The situation in Palestine is front and center in western politics right now, it's not the same in asia. The mention of Palestine is present in the webtoon, because for a long time the middle east has been the go-to example used in fiction when talking about military conflict in far-off countries. It was surely adapted without a second thought, even though the situation has changed drastically in the years since it was first published.

Should they have modified it in regards to what's currently unfolding ? Yes, i think so. But accusing them of being part of the zionist propaganda machine is excessive imo.

I felt the same. "I love you when i don't have better things to do". He's basically saying he won't make any space for her in his life

Any news ?

This is a great suggestion ! So much complaining about ratings being too high or too low and not enough discussion about the actual dramas being aired.

Imagine if you were free to only watch these Netflix and Vikki K-dramas, and people who enjoy them were free to watch the Amazon and Disney plus drama that you find so dumb. How nice that would be.

Except it doesn't take place in 16th century France or 17th century Spain. The manhwa takes place in the West empire and the East kingdom, in a completely fictional world where magic is real and people turn into birds. Is the setting inspkred by Europe's pas ? Yes. But it's not as if she's playing Marie-Antoinette or something

For real ! Just started the 1st ep and the music is soooo dramatic

Special appearance ? Brief screen time ? He's one of the main characters in Legend of Kitchen Soldier, and appears in every episode so far

More comedic than Weak Hero, closer to Study group.

You're right, it's a netflix original

Don't know about a jdrama, but there was a kdrama called hospital ship

In your radiant season
Spring Fever
Legend of Kitchen soldier
The 3rd season of Yumi's cell
Royal Nemesis

I saw the show in a completely different light, but i want to thank you for the way you worded your comment. It's nice to see someone expressing their disapointment about something other than the lack of any kind of physical intimacy. I do feel that this is a gay story, and don't share your need for unambiguous dialogue, if only because ambiguity is often the starting point of queer stories, especially in countries like Japan or Korea where being queer is not as easy as in my own. But i see what you mean, and i like that the show afford us the occasion to have this kind of discussion.

There is a high level of emotional intimacy between these men. I see a lot of people in the comments obsessing over kiss/no kiss, as if that's all there is to a relationship between two men. It's lame, and a bit insulting as a gay guy.
I don't know if it can qualify as a "BL", but it's a well written, well acted story about love, longing and growth.
It might not satisfy typical BL fans, but we need more diverse queer stories

THANK YOU !

You're so mean 😭

Same ! I think I'm gonna try and wait for tomorrow to watch both eps

There's a difference between him changing his mind when he's been in love with her for years, and holding back because of all the reasons you rightly pointed to, and her suddenly deciding to marry him when she never considered it.
In his case it's mustering the courage to go after what he wants, in her case it would be a total 180. He proposed when she was in the hospital and she didn't even consider it, he should know that I An or not she wouldn't get with him

Was it announced somewhere ?
