100% agreed 🙌🏼 It's not how real life works anyway🙄 I have NEVER met a guy irl behaving remotely like this LMAO, regardless of whether he was a bottom or verse...

But ok, it's a trope like you said. And if you want to use it - fine, but be CONSISTENT with your message! Make sure that any character that behaves this way is a shy virgin. Then at least it's believable, to some extent. Next just see to it that the show is PG13 all the way through, and you're golden.
If, on the other hand, you decide to make an 18+ series, awesome, but make sure you're also consistent. If somebody hooks up, they're past the smooching phase LOL

One would think it's all very obvious. Apparently not 🙄

Sometimes I feel like Thai BL creators just can't decide whether they want to create PG13 (in order to appeal to the younger, by definition "more innocent", audience) or 18+ (in order to appeal to the mature audience) content 🙄. Which is a shame really, because you can only tell a really good story if you have a certain conviction and know exactly what you want to say. If something is meant for everybody, in reality it's meant for nobody. MAKE A DECISION, and don't waste our time dear directors and producers.

At this point I'm way over characters who are ok with having casual sex multiple times, yet freak out over a smooch (in public or not). That makes absolutely no freaking sense.

Word. I'm not sure about Prem tho. Was he really better? I feel like he isn't ready to play a full-blown BL character.

WinTeam have undeniable chemistry (when they put in the effort), but the cringe level was HIGH 🙄 Especially the last couple episodes. Watching this was a challenge 😒

I've never read the novel and I don't intend to, but damn...I'd so prefer the WinTeam you just described to what we got 🙄 The pain in watching them was real.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like the show, but ep 11 was excruciatingly painful to watch. Who can stand 15 minutes of constant crying lmao....🙄🙄

Girl...I'm doing you a favor by not commenting directly on what you wrote, so I'd keep it sweet if I were you instead of attacking others. It's hilarious to see that you have to come in with full Indonesian in order to take a dig at me. Go on if this is what makes you happy, but I have no time for petty chat. I'm out.

Yo ok, it's clear English is not your first language and you misinterpret things cuz of that, or your understanding of them is too literal, so let's leave it at that. Peace 😁

I'm not saying there was or there wasn't a kiss there. It's not even the subject of my post. I don't care, honestly:) I'm just saying in Korea they would censor a kiss on most dating shows.

It's Korea. Of course they would cut it. In Korea it really depends on what channel the show is produced for, but 98% of them would cut it. If you think they wouldn't you're kidding yourself. That's not how Korean tv works. It's very different from Western tv.

Regardless of whether this show is scripted or not, it at least pretends to represent real emotions of the participants. We will never truly know if whatever comes out of their mouths on this show is real, acting or in-between, so we can only take it at face value, and look at the types of behavior it's promoting.
So rather than saying that specifically Seung Yeon truly liked specifically Soo Ro, I'm saying the way she went about whatever she felt towards whomever was wrong, and this way of bothering someone is not cool.
It's about behaviors, not specific people.
That's why.

So you're basically saying that from the start you weren't saying anything meaningful, yet I'm the one that's weird . Cool. Whatever you say 😏

Honestly, that's creepy...
You're a girl, right? Imagine a guy who wants to date you, and you're like "respectfully no", but he keeps interrupting whatever you have currently going on with somebody else, and butting in whenever he has a chance. It starts creating trouble for your own relationship and the person you are yourself interested in feels bad and uncertain. Wouldn't you be annoyed af? Most girls I know would call him a creep LOL.

IMO the panelists are doing that because in Korea as a rule you don't diss your own shows' contestants on tv. Instead, you try to create excuses for them, because no Korean show wants to be seen as promoting bad/toxic behavior - it would immediately likely be canceled, both figuratively and in production, if it did. The panel is simply covering for the show and protecting its good name, by trying to empathize with a contestant whose behavior is questionable at best.

IDK...maybe have some dignity, show empathy and respect his "no"? Don't you girls keep saying that "no means no"? So if a guy says no, it suddenly doesn't? Double standards if you ask me.

I agree 100%. It's like you tell a person "I'm taken" and they're like..."yo maybe let's just hook up once". So you're like "need I spell it out for you, I already am in a happy relationship" and they're like "I'm good at breaking up relationships" (that's technically what she's saying) 🤦🏻 So you're like omfg I said no once...do I really have to repeat myself and be called a douche and a jerk cuz I'm rude towards them? So you politely keep avoiding them, but they keep going at it even if you refuse. Freaking annoying. Not to mention, the person you are really interested in might take it the wrong way, especially in Korea.

LMAO exactly

Seung Yeon...sigh. I didn't know it was possible to have even less respect for you than after the last episode, but here I am at -100 lol 🙄. Now you "just" want to expres your feelings to the guy you like, who btw can't escape from it, and keeps telling you to back off to no avail. Cuz believe me, he would not answer the phone on the outside if you called. But in a few years you will do the same shit to an actual couple. You just do what you want, disregarding people's feelings, and - as per your own words - don't expect anything from it. I don't want to be passing judgement, but it sounds to me like you really want to become a home wrecker in the future, and are trying to play it off as "being in love".

On the contrary, I believe he was plenty direct. Please see my comment above 👆🏼 Dude, what was he supposed to do, humiliate her on tv?
