Look at all the jabronis here thinking they are the gold standard of morality by standing up for the BL community.…
Since you call it a "fetish" I assume you aren't part of the so called BL community. But even if it's BL, people whine they have to pay 3 bucks for a special episode or a monthly subscription. No joke, they are saying they are too broke, followed by 10 crying emojis. Most likely they enjoyed their coffee at Starbucks in the morning ...
Leads became famous internationally because of this drama, not the other way round. Eventhough they were talented,…
Just stop. Hyun Bin is and was always one of the biggest stars. He even did international films. I swear ten years ago, if you asked me about top 3 Korean stars, I would have named him. This is ridiculous. Everyone felt in love with him back then when he starred in Secret Garden with Haji Won. Next you will tell me, nobody knows Haji Won. And he also starred in Lovely San Soon with Kim Sun Ah, biggest female Kdrama star ever. The guy was HUUUUGE. You're obviously from a younger generation and talk like you know it all.
well... it's good and interesting from episode 1, so Idk what you're talking about, but okay
You think that was a good beginning? We see people fighting, don't even know who is a cop and who not. Action-packed scenes with no explanation, unknown faces everywhere, then suddenly our MC gets promoted. Then the friend appears, everything they talk about is cryptic and makes no sense. The whole scene with the female reporter was thrown at us. Who is she? No idea. The connection to the MC, no idea. Then the drugs. Again, everything is thrown at us. The friend dies? No real reaction to that. MC is busy dealing with withdrawal symptoms. Should we care about what happened? Is it important? What is the plot? Pace is too fast. Nope, sorry, that's not how you do it.
For the people who start watching this, and are bored to death (like me), don't give up. Around ep 3 it gets interesting, and now I'm hooked. Love Ji Sung btw. Such a great actor. It's always enjoyable seeing him on screen.
See, this was my question too. The way people are raging over it makes it seems as if the original story is a…
What is your end goal? That Korea becomes like Netflix? I stopped watching American series, because I'm so damn annoyed, that in the first 10 minutes I have to witness a blow job between two gay people. Just happened recently. Some fantasy series, I wasn't thinking much about it, BAMM! I'm 40 years old, yes, I'm old, and I still remember how I was searching for gay content, back then when BL as a genre didn't even exist. We only got some depressing gay movies from Hong Kong where both guys died at the end. Now there is so so so much BL content out there, that I can't keep up with it. Which doesn't matter, because most of it isn't that great anyway. Back to the series: How much did they even censor it? When Choi Se Kyung told Yi Heon what they did together (sleeping together, he came over, he treated his parents like his own, which was a lie apparently), I came here to look up if this is gay romance, lol. Because I immediately thought "Are those two gay?" They didn't explicitly state it, but they at least hinted towards it. He was also the only one who recognized Yi Heon with the different hair, he recognized the body etc., which made me immediately think: Oh, those two have seen each other closely. So no need to reply to me, because I know what you think. People like you are everywhere. Only happy when gay content is 100% accepted, which will never happen. The only thing that will happen is, that people get annoyed by it, because it gets forced upon them. And then the pendulum bounces back, and the hate against gay people starts again, because the great majority will be fed up from all the gay content pushed down their throat. And then everyone will be surprised, and we have more homophobes to hate. Great. A never ending circle.
Why are people complaining about the censored BL? Who am I supposed to ship here? The two young boys who had some kind of mystery relationship? What does it matter when the chemistry is between the young boy and the older guy (age difference 30 years!!!!). That's the whole problem with those body swap stories, that the writers build chemistry between characters, who won't end up together. I can't ship a 47 years old gangster with a high schooler. So censoring this series was a good choice, unless the two high schoolers had a sexual relationship and that got censored. But does their relationship really matter, when the main characters are the gangster and the high schooler?
On Episode 18 and 19, omgosh that mother of Dong-Seok, and all the people who are trying to make Dong Seok out…
This is not about right or wrong. It's about societal hierarchy, it's about courage. The mother lacked courage, she was beaten down her whole life. Some people are just weak, it's annoying and infuriating, but it is, what it is. She married that guy, because she thought it would be best for her son. It wasn't. She lacked the courage to leave. She just lived her life like a slave. I'm not gonna lie, my mother is a bit similar. She lived a life of servitude, and only recently she sees it's not the only way of living. But what do you do, she once said to me. She had no opportunities, no education, no money. This is not only an Asian thing, I'm European, and supposedly I live in one of the richer countries. Her not apologizing was the last pride she had left. She knew she did wrong. He knew it too. She was not a bad person, the village people liked her. She was a weak woman who couldn't get out of her misery, and was unable to provide for her son. The son, a younger generation and different character, kept going by being angry. It was the fuel in his life. No reason to took that away from him. I'm just confused at this point that he felt in love with a similar woman like his mother: a very weak woman.
Brilliant. The last episode was a bit lacking. Too much fighting, and how everything played out and came to an end wasn't that smart. But everything else was pure art.
Make the same series with other leads, and we are all bored to death. Those two are carrying this show on their very, very strong backs. Chemistry is through the roof, visuals are mind-blowing, charisma is out of this world, acting is very natural. I'm still looking for the plot. I will comment on it, when I find it.
I really hate when they put in the show that one of the leads don't like to kiss. That's really in poor taste…
It's not that he doesn't like it. They do this, because kissing is something so intimate or whatever, and since they are only friends with benefits, they won't kiss. That's the plot. In reality, it's ridiculous and stupid, but mostly it's done to keep the audience entertained and longing for more. I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait for that kiss for the next five episodes or something.
Only at ep 2, but I'm already wishing for them starring in a better series. Insane chemistry, both insane looks, individually and as a couple, acting is top-notch. Those guys deserve an Oscar, because how else can they keep the audience's interest with that weak a** script and cringy dialogues? I honestly imagined watching weaker actors doing those scenes, and I already know I would have rolled my eyes and dropped the series. I can say I will only watch this because of the actors, who are GORGEOUS! I like the Doc's character, though. He really looks like the kind of guy who is easy to manipulate, a bit naive. But he isn't. I like his fighting spirit and he is a bit cheeky. Last but not least: Who has sex without kissing? Insane hassle. You must be a hopeless romantic to have such "rules". Don't tell me that's a thing. I know that. It's still stupid.
This will be a shallow representation of an ace character, and people will eat it up like candy. I really have nothing else to say about it. The Taiwanese BL series Unknown gave us recently a great character with a complex relationship towards sex, but at the end they completely brushed over it. There was a chance to show a demisexual character, but nope. Clown show.
They have such a character because people are demanding it. GMMTV being preachy again trying to appeal to SJW. Most asexuals are also aromantic, so having a cool single character living his life to the fullest with a "I just don't care about relationships, I'm perfectly fine alone" attitude would be nice. But nope. They make this bigger than it should be, and so unintentionally they put the focus on sex again. But I'm sure social media will go crazy about the cool ace character who represent all aces in this world!
I don't think this is that deep or surprising. He just looks and behaves too vanilla. Even when he tries to be…
Honestly, this is just about having the bad boy look (and behavior) or not. Inn doesn't have it. He has a baby face. He is too nice. Great has that look, or actors like First, who plays the bad boy with ease. I also have that kind of look and behavior, and people think I'm plain and boring. Who cares?
Doctors smoke, take drugs. Indeed, they are the biggest cocaine users. They suffer from more addiction than normal…
Well, depends on the country. I live in Italy, where it's not unusual. But when a therapist from France invited her friend, she was shocked that she had to be fully naked. I thought it was tasteless, because it was only done to show others their body. It was erotic in a way, and was done to brag.
I see two possible reasons why Ter said that Dee is too vanilla. 1. Dee insisted on Ter’s answer “why you…
I don't think this is that deep or surprising. He just looks and behaves too vanilla. Even when he tries to be "wild" it's pretty embarrassing and not convincing at all. But lets ask a dictionary: A "vanilla personality" is a term used to describe someone who is very plain and unexciting. This person may lack unique or interesting qualities, and may not stand out from others in a significant way. People use this term to describe people who are not particularly memorable or noteworthy in any significant way. Or this one: What is the urban meaning of vanilla? unexciting, normal, conventional, boring
Fits pretty well. He comes across rather boring, and you wouldn't assume he is a wild animal in bed, either.
Love Ji Sung.
