What happened to Plan lately? I know him rather moody, reserved, not happy to do fan service, but loving and sweet towards Mean, even though it's hardly noticeable. In some recent clips of interviews/fan meets he looks completely smitten by Mean (!!), super motivated and happy. A ball of sunshine, really. He never struck me as the happy type.
Watching the preview for next episodes it seems Can thinks he is not good enough for Tin (not good looking enough, not a girl, whatever). I must say I don't dislike this conflict. It's reasonable and now I finally understand why they tried so hard to make Can look ugly LOL (which honestly is an achievement by itself, Plan has a super pretty face). Jokes aside, I would be more concerned about my family not being rich enough, not having a good "background", but it's different in every culture, I guess. The whole "Am I good enough for him" is nice, though. It's better as those cheesy jealousy games that are played in so many other BL stories. We had jealousy in the last episode too, but it wasn't that dramatic. Reminds me of 2gether where I would have preferred a similar conflict. Tine wondering if he is good enough for Sarawat, if they have enough in common or if someone else is a better match for him. Instead we got random girls who suddenly where important and lots of stupid jealousy everywhere and countless head pats. I don't know where the Tin&Can story is going, but well, I don't hate it. How can you hate those two? LOL It seems impossible.
I wonder if they will be able to pull off the love scene in the next episode. My honest guess: No. But I don't even care. I will have my popcorn ready and giggle like a little girl.
Okay ... I finally finished it. The story was a bit messy, the marathon-theme wasn't doing it for me, those bleeding nipples traumatized me for life, and this horrible loan shark cliché you find in so many Korean dramas should finally die out - but the rest was very, very nice. There were a lot of scenes between those two men that felt fresh and original like I haven't seen them before in other BLs. The kisses and the skinship were also great. Their interactions felt very natural (!!) and funny. Good acting from both leads. Lately I'm bothered by actors who feel uncomfortable doing kissing scenes or acting "gay" in general. So I'm always glad if that's not the case. I'm paying extra attention. No awkwardness in this series.
After watching this episode I feel like the retelling of the Tin&Can story makes ZERO sense. I like their retold story a little better, because it's softer and less forceful, but the difference is TINY. It's more a feeling than anything else. They could have started season 2 with episode 7 easily. With the "break-up-scene" and then they could have showed us all flashbacks scenes from s1, so we remember again what happened between those two. They could have dragged it out a bit and make two episodes until Tin&Can reconcile. But no. They decided to waste 7 episodes for the retelling. I wouldn't know what scene they showed us that was so important to make the decision to start from the beginning. Whatever comes now - I fell like it makes no difference if you have seen their scenes in s1 or the retold story in s2, because at the end of the day it really is the same. I wonder what they were thinking. As if there isn't enough material for this couple to be the leads in a 13-episode-series. Maybe that's the reason. The author run out of ideas.
How is BrightWin a thing? How is SingtoKrist a thing? Who will ever know?
I wouldn't say Tul feels uncomfortable, but he just looked glad the scene is over. And yeah, I was very surprised. Talking about My Engineer: I forgot Ram&King, nice couple, very nice kiss! Again: very natural, no big deal. Lay acts in the YYY series too, so he is paired up with two different guys and isn't stuck in one couple role, which I think is a smart idea. I was not a fan of UWMA. Too childisch. Win&Team have a lot of charm, but I don't expect any natural kissing scenes from them in their new series. I feel like I'm too old for this stuff. I enjoy mature stories with natural acting and believable kissing. It doesn't have to be explicit at all. 2gether and Still 2gether was such a kindergarten and everyone is going crazy about those two guys. It's so strange. Can's redeeming quality is his pure heart. There is not a single evil thought in his mind. I don't hate the character, but he is just too naiv and slow. But we will see. I wonder what the next episodes will bring us. There is a lot of room for good character development, but I don't expect much.
How is BrightWin a thing? How is SingtoKrist a thing? Who will ever know?
I enjoy couples like Forth&Beam. Very natural kisses, no hesitation, good acting, and in real life no drama. Vee&Mark are also such a couple. Not much kissing, but they went for it, no big deal, cute and honest in real life. Or Zach&Fandy from Boundary Crossing. Great kiss, again no drama, no big deal. Max&Tul are in a league of their own. I remember watching some BTS scenes and Tul was soooo relieved when the kiss scene ended. I was very surprised, because I had never guessed he hates it so much. That's what I call good acting. Just go for it. Do it. That's your job. Be convincing. About first kisses: you can do that scenes more times, can't you? Mean&Plan kissed for two minutes on that couch (because they didn't hear the "Cut") and Plan still looks stiff. Couples like Zee&Saint, Mew&Gulf and Max&Tul bring it to another level, but that's not even necessary. Just don't look like someone is holding a gun to your head when doing those scenes. Bright&Win are really the biggest jokes. I feel very uncomfortable watching them. Talking about Tin/Can or Mean/Plan: what I dislike the most that Can behaves like a child, this creeps me out a bit. No real person at his age behaves like that.

Lately I'm impressed if actors look comfortable during intimate scenes. Sotus was a nice series, but Krist looked very tense in those kissing scenes. The same with Bright&Win, Mean&Plan, New&Tay. All those couples have a big following though.
This week's episodes feels like filler/draggier than last week's but Choi Jin Hyuk's scenes and the humor is the…
I don't really like this kind of humor. I have no issues with the main character, the zombie, I didn't skip a single scene. It really is funny. But those two detectives for example are unbearable to watch. The villains are clowns too. How the zombie could take over easily the identity of a guy who looks completely different is also pretty lame. Not to mention this "card deck fight" (I'm still shaking my head). This is 100% comedy. With that kind of premise I had liked it more with some suspense, some danger, some emotions. I don't hate it, it's just that I feel there is a lot of missed potential, but maybe such a series sells better if it's made like this? It's a mix of Vampire Prosecutor and Warm Bodies. I guess with the light-hearted humor it's reaching a broader audience.
Something cool happens in episode 4! Don't give up if you haven't seen episode 4 & 5 now :D.
The scene at the end of ep 4 was great! Not only because I didn't think they would get there so fast, but also because the scene was so unexpected, had me shooked for a second and was really well made. I like it better now.
This would be better with less humor. Since the very beginning I'm waiting for something cool to happen. Still waiting at ep 3. Got only sillyness, nothing else.
My perception is 100% different. The retold Tin&Can story is much softer and less forceful. I sometimes wonder…
I'm not enjoying it more than their story in s1. I don't like the author. On my list of the most terrible and overrated BLs ever made, LBC is on second place, TharnType on first. I have LOTS of issues with this author and her stories. Every couple creeps me out. Tin&Can in s1 is the only couple she ever wrote that I could somehow enjoy. The author is well aware of her problematic content and I thought she is trying to fix some of her errors. The thing that irritated me was always the whole "buy you for money". Their was a scene in the last episode where Can offered that Tin can kiss him as payment and Tin refused only to talk later about interest (which he did in s1 too). This is all messed up. I didn't feel for a second in s1 that Can is in love with Tin. I feel like in s2 he is more interested and more open for a romantic relationship. But it's true that he appeared stronger in s1. The same for Tin. He changed even more. The arrogance is gone. At the moment I cannot say which story I enjoy more, because since the last episode (and maybe earlier) they are dragging it out, it's repetitive. Again the whole "I can't buy you with money" - Tin said that 3 times now in s2 alone! It seems to me like the author is running out of ideas as if there isn't much story about this couple. I wasn't expecting anything because like I said second place! But yeah, it's a mess. Lots of missed potential. In s1 I felt like watching a child being forced in a relationship with an adult. In s2 they tried to show us that Can can provide some emotional support which I think wasn't a bad idea. So he can be strong in this relationship too. Still his naive nature makes me a bit uncomfortable. The writing (the dialogues, some scenes like the jealousy scene) is so childish, I feel I'm too old to watch this stuff LOL So to sum it up: The scenes in s1 had more impact, were better filmed. They do some stuff better in s2, but a lot of stuff worse. I really have no strong opinion about this at the moment. I only know if it's not getting any more interesting I will drop it. Writing such a long comment even feels like a waste of time LOL. I was writing such comments when 2gether became a mess too. We are giving too much credit to those stupid BL series. They have a passionate fan base and just cannot do a proper job. I really don't get it. Like no series is perfect and everyone has a different opinion, but LBC2 is just sooo bad. Even on YT everyone is hating it. It will be the biggest disappointment in BL history if they don't step up their game.
Finally, are we finally going into furthering the plot from last season? This is what I've been holding on for,…
My perception is 100% different. The retold Tin&Can story is much softer and less forceful. I sometimes wonder if people watched a different series. Tin&Can was very toxic in s1 to the point where I was confused that nobody complained about it.
I will support Korean BL until the end of times, but this series wasn't for me. I cannot bring myself to watch the last 3 episodes. it's just so ... meh. But I wonder what they bring us next.
Mosaicmind, I think they made it different from season 1 in order for them to show Can's reluctance and hesitation…
I watched a lot of stuff with Mean&Plan (ReminderS, 2Wish, MVs, BTS scenes, Cathy Doll) and I get a strong feeling that Plan doesn't like doing intimate scenes. He always seems so stiff and unnatural, even if it's only a hug or less. He could get away with it in LBC, because the character Can was written like that. I still hope they will prove us wrong, though.
Max&Tul are in a league of their own. I remember watching some BTS scenes and Tul was soooo relieved when the kiss scene ended. I was very surprised, because I had never guessed he hates it so much. That's what I call good acting. Just go for it. Do it. That's your job. Be convincing. About first kisses: you can do that scenes more times, can't you? Mean&Plan kissed for two minutes on that couch (because they didn't hear the "Cut") and Plan still looks stiff. Couples like Zee&Saint, Mew&Gulf and Max&Tul bring it to another level, but that's not even necessary. Just don't look like someone is holding a gun to your head when doing those scenes. Bright&Win are really the biggest jokes. I feel very uncomfortable watching them.
