And one more comment….it now makes total sense to me if the ML was gay, and actually makes the film that much…
I'm not sure why you're stuck on this one point so much that you keep posting the same thing over and over and over again, but it's fine. It's ok if you came to a different conclusion about the end of the movie than many of the rest of us, it's certainly allowed. But that needs to go both ways - you need to be ok with other people coming to a different conclusion than you. If you believe the characters ended up a certain way, then that's great. Most of us on here believe a different thing, and that's also ok. Just let it be ok that we're seeing the ending in different ways.
I honestly think there's also an English-language issue happening here with this conversation and that's, of course, ok, but it's making it hard to really understand what you're trying to say. You're accusing some of us of being "queer-phobic" because we said that a character was queer in the movie (this would mean that we would be afraid of queer people - phobic means afraid of something) but that just doesn't make sense. By thinking that a character is queer, and being ok openly with that character being queer, and celebrating that that character is queer and hopefully finding their joy out in life, that's the opposite of being "phobic" about them.
I'm not queer myself, but some of my most beloved friends in the world are, so I'm here as an ally and an advocate and I'm not festishizing them by watching queer dramas and movies. I'm celebrating the existence of my dear friends and celebrating seeing people who look and act like them on my screen.

What??! Do you even know what the word phobia means? I don't think you do if you're using it this way. You're the one who keeps spouting homophobic garbage all over this page, not me. I'm not queer-phobic because I'm not frightened of or somehow triggered by queer content....like you're coming off as.
I feel like something's getting lost in translation here.
If the drama is even remotely as cool as the trailer, I'm totally in (and I'm a bit of a hard sell when it comes to historical C-dramas/wuxias/xanxias/etc)
Kdrama pays more attention to female perspective more than male perspective.I saw a lot of kdrama Most of the…
Your chosen name here tells us all we need to know about your opinion on women and abuse. Andrew Tate is a misogynist loser incel who loves to hurt women and that’s who you want to emulate? Sorry, no K- drama advice is going to help with that affliction
In nearly all c drama, ‘ I like you’ actually means ‘I love you’. But there are occasions where‘I love…
I've seen this a lot in both K- and J-dramas as well. It's always made me wonder if "like" means something more than in English. Liking someone or something in English can range from "I like toast" to "I like you and want to date you"
So I FINALLY get what all the fuss is about with Yang Yang. I had either dropped or barely started many of his…
Exhibit A: the way SY says "You?!" to Jiang Yu when JY jokingly says that XQ is in love with JY. It's a taut, almost derisive answer but held back at the very last moment in order not to appear too much, but his inflection and body movements give it away.
Exhibit B: in Episode 24, (where XQ is sitting outside his surgery tent and remembering past moments of them together), the way he looks back at her around minute 4:46. There's some serious fire in those eyes.
So I FINALLY get what all the fuss is about with Yang Yang. I had either dropped or barely started many of his other dramas and just hadn't been able to connect with him as an actor....until now. Suffice it to say that I have totally and completely changed my mind about him with this drama and have been 100% absorbed in his character portrayal so far.
There's a difference between being stiff and being "held", with all of the emotions and the inner monologue/story just underneath the surface, which then get expressed through micro-expressions and slight body movements, which Yang Yang is pulling off brilliantly.

Consider me a brand new fan.
