Episodes 1 & 2 I was thinking what the actual fuck!? I have a dislike of hard core slapstick. However, I adore Japanese storytelling, which sometimes comes with said slapstick, so there are times when I simply need to suck it up. This is such a time.
I'm now invested in this here series from EP 3. You had me at cleaning the turtle. The narrative changed from that point. Everything from that moment said to me, beautiful storytelling. The background lighting, hews of deep cream and orange. The honest, lay it out bare feelings from our man captivated me - I believed his sincerity. I felt his delivery... and I loved the part where he went to join him by the window. He bravely put himself out there.
And then, we're left with that final second twitch of possibly in the mind of our oh so lovely cop. Maybe. Possibly. Potentially... Is his brain thinking? "He's kind of fucking sexy, but a man. He makes my cock twitch. I'm finding myself curious, but am I brave enough to take a step forward?!"
I am desperately trying to find out the name of this song also. I was going to post the question and then saw…
Aw, a fellow music lover of beautiful tunes. Hello👋🏽 Of course I will. Consider it done. It is now at 705 views, which sadly tells me it hasn't been released yet.
Damn, I absolutely love this drama. When it comes to BL's, Chinese writers seem to get off on obsessive, dominating, jealous love. Have to say, It does indeed make for captivating viewing.
The opening tune in Ep5 at around 3 minutes, 33 seconds, where Lu Feng is standing outside smoking, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand to attention - it really is that beautiful. I've posted on my Instagram the whole clip asking if anyone can tell me the artist and song. It's had 616 views currently, but alas no one, as yet, has come forth to tell me the artist. Do any of you know? Would make my day.
It's beyond barmy hot here in the UK and tomorrow, I'm planning a picnic in a meadow under a tree with my boyfriend. I sent him the clip and said. "MY Captain (he lives on a boat), we are so fucking in the meadow on our picnic to this tune! Although he's never watched a BL in his life - he absolutely agreed. The song is that beautiful.
Your post actually made me laugh out loud. Funny as fuck. Did you just regurgitate your thoughts onto this here forum? How do you say I’m not high maintenance, without being high maintenance?! I do actually agree with you by the way!
OMG! What absolutely beautiful viewing. Such a surprise and delight. Each episode had me captivated and truly touched my heart. Those men, damn, those men and their hearts - their parents must feel seriously proud about the boys they raised. Such warmth and genuine empathy for the villagers.
I loved Park Bo Gum's journey, from feeling so insecure leading up to his first cut, to the point where he called upon the production team to practice in the early hours, prior to opening. The fact that he took hairdressing classes during his insane filming schedules, says a lot about his commitment to the cause. Finally, that man could cut, dye and style hair beautifully.
I adored Lee Sang Yi's interactions with the children. Damn, how those three children touched my heart. Sharp as fuck. Clever. Funny. Thoughtful. Kind. Again, their parents on watching this series must feel so proud that they raised such beautiful humans. I was touched by the ends Lee Sang Yi went to, to find the lost bracelet - he was so obviously upset.
...And to our chef, Kwak Dong Yeon. His journey was oh so subtle, but hugely impactful. That man cooked from the heart. Him saying that he struggles to let people into his life, but did with the villagers really touched me, Boy did good. Boy did very good indeed.
My favourite lady was Miss Ra. What a woman. What a woman indeed. I loved her. Learning my fellow tongue, English, at 92 years old had me tearing up. She made for delightful viewing.
So... and this hasn't happened since 2022. I'm giving The Village Barber a 10/10. Love it so much.
Hilarious. Pursuit of Jade must be utter shite, for you to feel the need to post this same comment on the page…
Firstly, learn to articulate yourself. Your words don’t make sense, only your ignorance. I’ve got no time to play with unintelligent children… and especially as the latest episode of “Siren’s Kiss” has just dropped! Whoop! Whoop! Beyond excited 😝 😆🤣 Ciao for now 👋🏾

Oh please. Can you hear yourself? Grow up. Are you bored? Do you crave attention? Every country in the world has its issues. Take your narrative to an audience / forum where you can be seriously heard and potentially make a difference. As I said, this just isn’t it. The smart ones amongst us will literally block you. Your message lost in a void of, just piss off! #JustSayin’

… and your point is? This is a forum to discuss this particular drama. What it isn’t, is a forum to discuss South Korean culture, its politics or issues. I’d recommend finding a suitable forum where you can unleash your pent up anger. They exist. This isn’t it.
It wasn't bad. However, it really didn't make for captivating viewing. I find myself astounded how so many Korean reality TV dramas showcase people so very, very introverted, to the point where they are literally crippled by the thought of conversing with a human being. It honestly blows my mind. The question always comes to mind. "Why did you sign up for this?"
Irrespective of whether you're introvert or extravert, honestly, how do you get to your 20s and 30s and not have any basic knowledge of how to converse with another human being? I've seen it with Korean reality TV on both heterosexual and gay dramas. It spanks of all being about how pretty you are - the physical perspective, which naturally grows beyond tiresome as a viewer, once you see there is no depth of personality, character or charisma.
I ask myself, do their parents, life, schooling, interactions throughout life especially in a work environment, not teach them how to interact with other humans? It is all so incredibly vacuous, solely based on looks and zero personality. Honestly, I don't base this rant on all the contestants, because some like Kim Su Min, Oh Min Sung, Eum Hyeok Jin and Taichi to a point, could converse, had personality and hold a conversation.
I just heard myself asking, "How the fuck have you got to this age in life and still have no basic concept of having, or indeed holding a conversation." It's just cringe viewing for me. Don't even get me started on the long, cringeworthy silences. I do get it, a lot we don't see due to editing and they were only together for just a week, but I have to say, all this reality TV shite is beyond, beyond vacuous as we all know.
What I did really love about this series is the friendships made. The final episode with them all in the pool made me smile a lot.
