This show is playing so hard. Tuesday cliffhangers are bad but the Thursaday episodes have the worst cliffhangers. I spend five whole days agonizing over the next episode—my relationship with this drama is so healthy but i indulge in it anyway XD

The ending of episode 8 nearly gave me a heart attack, brain tumor and kidney stones with all the FEELINGS

People truly do immerse themselves too much in judging others. That time could be better spent watching a drama. Both sides have a point i suppose

I'll stray from this topic now because i really do want to watch this but i am short on time and i'm curious as to why you dropped it. Do you plan to pick it up later?

'Horny for a drama'—?
I'm not sure whether the last part of your comment was directed at me (or what you meant by being horny for a drama) but i said these same things in a really -really- long comment under a thread below too. I feel bad for how the lbc cast get thrashed
I won't write off Mean as homophobic (the only thing about him that i am interested in is his acting and now his direction)
I have not seen such an interview where he says that it is a joke and if he did so, isn't it rather funny that he wrote it off it is a joke? This may be considered in compliance with my statement that anyone working in entertainment have to smooth over any such alienating comments. Actors and actresses often make comments which they later apologize for or shelve as a 'joke', even though it has hurt the sentiments of people these 'jokes' were targeted against

I'm not calling hom a homophobe, just that i know homophobic cast do work on lgbt productions (it is inevitable and it is difficult to judge the true natures of people). I hope their homophobic ideas do not show through in their productions—that is all i ask–and lastly, the way i want to interpret something is up to me, each to their own i say.

Oh my—c*nts? Might i interest you in using a slang which does not give offense to an entire creed of people of various genders (not just cisgender women), who have vaginas?
Just to be clear, i appreciate the sentiment of your comment and using slurs isn't what is triggering me. It is the use of the word 'c*unts'. I would never call someone a 'dick' either because these are not just slangs but put down so many people

It's not just 'nothing' really. Unlike other people, i am hardly bothered with what happens behind the scenes—but when Mean made that comment that he might consider doing bl when he is 'old or needs money', it struck me as rather odd. Many actors have left the 'bl industry' (or so it is called) and have expanded roles. Sometimes if they've interested me enough, i even go search them up (i didn't like an eye for an eye much so i dropped that but i am devoted to the Thai actress Mild and i loved seeing the offmild pairing)

I don't even bother about pair changings, they are just actors after all. If the drama interests me, i would watch it—but his comment made it sound like he valued straight roles or non romantic roles and viewed them as something above homosexual roles

These are not just 'wild conclusions' as you dub my and others' statement. Not prioritising bl roles is one thing and making such a comment (referring, again, to when he said he would only return if he was old or moneyless) is quite another. Many like Perth and Plan have made their 'departure' too (as hurt bl fans coin it XD) but i am rather excited to see the lbc cast in the 7 project. So no, there is a certain fact based idea on which some people consider him homophobic.

Actors are trained not to alienate fans (sometimes this also stretches so far as to cut off their real life relationships with girlfriends or boyfriends, which is just plain sad for the actor). But sometimes these comments slip through and one can't help wonder why Mean had to phrase it that way. Nannon for example has said that he values all roles and would play anything if it contributed to increasing his acting skills.

That's the way of the internet i'm afraid. But as i mentioned, scroll through the comments for a bit and you will find some links (i cannot be bothered to search up the links where i saw Mean making such comments though ;)
And no, if you are under some delusion that it is necessary for me to back this up and earn your good graces or something, then let me tell you that the first requisite is basic politeness and not working yourself up and lashing out at others. Maybe-just maybe-the other person is right

Oh my, this is really going to push offgun to be the best of themselves
I know they'll pull it off and maybe win an oscar on the way too XD

I was in this stage before
Trust me, it wears off after a while, but the pain is still real :/

I liked this one. I loved the original. 8.5/10

Wtaf XD

I want to hug Sohee and tell her that she's inordinately pretty and downright gorgeous and she'll find a boyfriend who truly cares for her (and if she ever inclines the other way then i'd readily be up for it :)

I want to hug Shiwoon because i don't ever want him to lose his sense of humor

I want to hug Taekyung and tell him that it's okay, i understand that he's been a loner and things can get too bewildering sometimes and he's slowly getting there :)

I want to hug Daon; his kindness shines as radiantly as a hallow, despite the fact that he has been treated with so much indifference

And i want to hug Shinwoo; it's not easy to home a crush in oneself, especially not when the person of your affection is right there to nurture it everyday. It's going to be okay, i know you'll get that happy ending :)

I want to hug all of them so much

A helpful synopsis of episode 7:
She likes him. But he sort of likes him. He likes him too. But he likes him. And he sort of likes her.
Thank me later ;)

Japanese aren't outdated in technology XD all major camera brands like Nikon, Canon, Sony, Panasonic, fujifilm—you name it—are all japanese
As to why Japanese dramas feel so old-ish or outdated is probably because their budgets are much lower (and this is not just for lgbt+ series). That is why anime emerged in the first place. It used to be cheaper (operative word being used). The anime industry is much larger now but the production cost is still lower than any hollywood mainstream movie

I'd say the camerawork here was good. It's nothing spectacular—there's no room to be spectacular, there are no difficult scenes to shoot here. Emphasis is thus on the direction and even though it's just one episode in, i like it

Japan puts lots of emphasis on traditional beliefs imo. Even idols who perform there are not allowed to lip sync. They have a different style which doesn't appeal to everybody and they don't try to either ;)

The first episode feels like a crossover of the anime and pornographer and i'm loving it.
I love Uenoyama and Haruki's casting choices. I felt that Mafuyu and Kaji's castings didn't fill the mod well but its going good :)

You are welcome to your thoughts :)

I dropped tharntype pretty fast but I understand the first part of your comment so well ;)

I was just reminded by someone below that there was a 2016 version too. I've watched it but somehow I just... Anyway, yeah the original Ossan's Love short released in 2016 had the same vibe as the 2018 one. They changed Maki's actor in both so if you want to check that out then try both 2016 and 2018 but if you're in the mood for just one then try the 2018

Fml I've even watched it 🤦🏽 thanks though

I don't think HK will stray from the original ending, this is like their first main bl series and they really haven't deferred from the og script much except for dialogues and some scenes here and there

I personally don't like KK here since he uses business to get closer to Tin (the boss was better and sort of cuter and more effeminate in the Japanese series :) and I'm all for Siu Muk but I understand how it can be a disappointment for KK and Tin shippers :[
