Even online, stupid jokes or dislike of a straight pair will never compare to the discrimination queer people face on daily basis. It's a drop in the ocean. It doesn't make a difference, cause "heterophobia" is nonexistent. No straight person faces actual backlash, online or offline.

I think being spiteful has its very valid reasons when you spent your whole life being bullied for being yourself to the point of wanting to commit, killed, or being casually oppressed otherwise. Especially in a homophobic country. So excuse us if not all gay people are sunshine and rainbows.

Honestly, get outside, and see how many straight people are being discriminated by queer people. This is a deeply chronically online argument. "Heterophobia" does not exist in real life, homophobia, however, does.

The part about everyone being gay in the class is funny af cause it can happen and it literally did, in the place that i studied at. There were like 20 girls and one boy, and majority of the girls were sapphic. Granted, it was an art major, and there IS a stereotype floating around about art majors in my country lol.

I dunno, at this point, like i said some time ago, it reeks of casual homophobia. They spin the blame onto the queer folks who are rightfully displeased at the blatant erasure of our stories.

Like sure, it could be worse. Gangster Who Became a Highschooler is an example of it. But why would we put up with that?

С тобой, кстати, не согласно большинство СНГшных зрителей, так что я не знаю зачем ты выпендривешься так, будто это мнение большинства.

Что ты тут забыл бро? Если тебе так хочется посмотреть на гетеро, иди и смотри другие бесконечные гетеро драмы. А про гетерофобию ной в мире, где гомофобии не существует. Ещё и пишет на русском, гений мысли, чтобы я так понимаю никто ответить не смог, да? :)

Oh there's plenty of story to adapt for season 2, but i doubt it's happening...ever. Considering that this season was only greenlit in 2025 when it was filmed in....what was it? 2022? I would guess it wasn't really profitable even back then. No popular queer streaming services wanted to buy it. And with the hot mess that this drama turned out to be, the chances of there being a season 2 are very slim.

I know lol, i just said that I'm not defending this choice. I'm just clarifying that it would be unsurprising that the kiss is not happening, considering everything. I'm the last person to be surprised that they intentionally or not removed a lot of queerness from the show.

The actor of Seung Won was of age tho. I don't know about anyone else, but as a 20+ something i would be kinda uncomfortable to kiss a 17-18 y.o.....not defending the drama here, just clarifying.

Yep, SR wasn't that great either, but i felt that their relationship progressed pretty naturally, given everything happening in the show.

But the thing between Seungwon and Heesu drags on literally for no reason, cause like you said, Seungwon could've confessed in episode 8. Now i fear confession is not coming until episode 10 🥀

The best example of it for me is Secret Relationship I'd say. The main pair didn't get together untill the end, but one of the MLs expressed that he likes the MC pretty early on, and acted on it. But it has less episodes, too. If you want to drag declaration of fondness that far, i fear you need more episodes, or give all the attention to the main pair.

Man you would think that people would stop throwing shade at each other and would mind their own business (AKA express their own thoughts without poking anyone else in the meantime) after the warning was added, but i guess not. If you write a positive review, why would you always mention people writing negative ones, and not simply focus on the positives?

Anyway. I'm hoping all the people who simply enjoy this show and want to express it, or people who do not and want to express it without being all close and personal a very pleasant day and a nice watch. Remember, everyone's opinions are valid as long as you're not being rude to others about it

"Get the negativity out of here" you know all kinds of reviews and discussions is THE point of sites like this, right? 🥀 Everyone's free to write their thoughts IF (Check the rules) they're not being rude to others about it.

It's totally going to be on spotify later, Business as Usual and Secret Relationship uploaded osts on spotify too. Just wait a lil bit 🙆‍♀️

I guess it will surprise you then that people can both criticise the show and still enjoy it.

As a lifelong slow burn fan, i just wanted to clarify that slow burn means not only slow development of relationship, but also always present tension from BOTH sides and lots and lots of scenes and attention to the pair in question. There were little to no attention to Heesu and Seungwon as friends, yet alone lovers, and it seems like Heesu developed his new crush pretty fast.

You can't call every slow developing relationship a slow burn. Just saying. Doesn't mean that it's bad relationship, it's just not it. Slow burning show though? For sure.

Well, i can present such examples as like Love For Love's sake and Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo too, they're not just as huge as LITBC, but they're still pricey with amazing cinematography and acting. Love's for Love sake could be easily said to be one of the best pure romance dramas out of all romances, not just BLs. And both of those stories are purely queer stories. And yeah, success doesn't mean acceptance, but it still doesn't mean that creators should bend under the press of societal expectations just to please the audience who are not only not gonna watch them, but most likely boycott them too.

And yeah, it was filmed before it, but another example of very huge success amongst BL dramas that are kinda older is Semantic Error.

The thing is, the story is good. But it's not without bad things. Like you said, cinematography and acting are amazing, but watering down a pure BL adaptation, after shows like Love in The Big City were a big success? This is kind of a low blow. And that's what most people trying to explain, i think.

I mean, it's obvious at this point that they're not giving Heesu and Seungwon enough moments, but I'm gulping down those crumbs like the most starved pigeon on Earth. But, yeah, that happened again.

I guess everyone hoped that confession is gonna happen at least in episode 8, and then dating era, and that otherwise they're not gonna get enough time being together, and guess what happened? Episode 9 is gonna be an unnecessary conflict based on a misunderstanding with a last minute resolution, and if we're lucky, episode 10 will have at least 15 mins of them together, while the second pair got 4 episodes to themselves. So, everyones fears came true. Fun. 😔
