I was even wondering if Pi-O was the one who orchestrated the kidnapping because he is schizophrenic!

She is the ONLY emotional support? A character who appears in less than 40 minutes in the 6 episodes and has such insignificant character development? When they can’t even have her acting like a mature adult, professional manager after a 9-year time skip? When the producers are making it so clear that Pi-O’s true emotional support is Jeong Yo?

Ignore idiots like her. She’s assuming all the commenters are women and fans of BL, without considering her own very narrow viewpoint on the development of the FL in a series where she appears for less than 40 minutes in the entirety of the first six episodes. She’s probably gushing about the pathetic kiss scene the producers shoehorned in for the sake of making the drama appear straight.

It’s so pathetic that the supposed supporters of the traditional heterosexual romances cannot understand that we are voicing our comments about the FL because of the very poor way the character is shoehorned into the life of the ML with very little character development and depth. Like the idiot Emil whatever above who is calling out the comments about the FL and insisting that whatever rationale we are basing our comments on will not change her view. If their perceptions cannot change despite our very rational arguments, then they will never comprehend what a good drama is beside their own pathetic views on fluffy cringey melodramatic nonsense they crave and wish for from yucky romantic shows.

You seem fixed in your opinion about the comments made here. That’s fine. We are also fixed on our opinions about the very poor way the FL is written.

And guess what? THAT is totally fine as well.

Get a freaking life.

That’s the best you can come up with? Your analysis is a joke, as is the FL.

LOL the irony in your comment.

Right? The FL is a terribly written character, and that whiney voice of hers is grating my nerves.

At this point, halfway into the series, we cannot believe she is playing a main role anymore. Her screentime and character development are absolutely laughable.

Barely 7 minutes into the latest episode, and the FL is getting irritating already. Gosh, her lines are so cringe worthy. The time skip has done her character absolutely no favours. And making her dress up in that skimpy outfit while ML is wrapped up in his long coat out in the cold weather makes her look even more desperate for superficial attention (oh wow, so pretty, such long legs…) than ever.

Heck, as much as I despise the mother, her character development is so much more interesting. The teacher’s very short screentime this episode also portrayed significant vulnerability. Even the detective helping Pi-O search for Jeong Yeo’s whereabouts is more believable than the terribly written paper-thin caricature that FL is turning out to be.

Did the FL even appear a single second in episode 5? I know she will be around next episode but heck, her screen time in this series is so pathetic. The other supporting characters are getting more exposure than her, so this role is really very unnecessary and very shoehorned in. It’s been almost half the series and she hasn’t played any significant role at all.

Come on, the FL role is a joke. It’s been four episodes and her total screen time hardly makes up fifteen to twenty minutes in total. In this episode, she appears less than the Eden agency head even. It’s so patronising for the producers to give her the FL label when she is clearly just a supporting role in the grand scheme of things. Heck, even the promotional materials that feature her are shoehorned in, with very minimal impact anyway.

On whether it’s a BL or not, it really doesn’t matter to me. It’s a good story, the MLs are both killing it, and the supporting characters add sufficient tension and momentum (except for the FL for now). I’m on a BL fatigue break since there are just too many to consume at the moment, but this drama is really … chef’s kiss.

Why are you replying every single comment that just wants to state that at this moment of the drama, the bromance is extremely suggestive? Why are you acting as the gatekeeper of other viewers’ opinions of what they are watching? The two MLs are being directed to give each other smothering looks with faces just centimetres apart. If the producers and directors are deliberately using two good looking men acting as teenagers and employing the typical BL tropes, what’s the harm of viewers just stating their opinions?

Their faces are literally mere centimetres from each other in many scenes. 🙄

Yeah I don’t get your comment either. What’s your main purpose for watching this bromance coded drama? The two boys are literally holding hands and sleeping on each other’s shoulders. Why would anyone make edits of a FL who appears in less than 10% to 20% of each episode, and with very mundane dialogue or connection with the two MLs? If people are saying the BL stans should take a chill pill and calling them out for wanting this very suggestive show to be a BL, then sorry, the straight shipping stans should also wake the hell up at this stage of the drama.

Yes, she’s easily my most hated character right now. She is the typical vapid toxic MESS of a self-loathing, pathetic loser.

Totally agree. Their chemistry is INSANE, and the whole drama is so BL-coded, no matter how naysayers are denying it.

There is something extremely problematic about the social fabric in SK. Yes, they’re enjoying an extremely popular, privileged position as a leading country in the entertainment industry, with millions around the world totally enamoured with their celebrities. I dare say they are more popular than many Hollywood stars these days. However, their society remains backward in the way they treat women and the way the public seem to believe that they control the celebrities’ lives. Worse, the levels of bullying, domestic violence and suicide remain deep-rooted issues due to the way they treat one another. They may be appear to be bowing and greeting one another, but the way they abuse one another verbally, physically and psychologically is so scary. The highly competitive nature of their school and workplace environments is another complex problem that seems to permeate the lives of Korean citizens.

Meh. Started strong, but once the BL elements got reduced and FL started crushing on the ML, the storyline became unbearable. Worse was how little we learnt about the other characters, and the last scene with Jenny’s farewell was a joke. This character literally didn’t need to exist AT ALL.

I CANNOT STOP LAUGHING.

THIS IS SO GOOD!
