This would make sense if the focus of the two episodes of the week was indeed on Heesu and not Chan Yeong's struggles…
The series. Not the movie. And yes, it does contain explicit scenes. And? Those are adult gay men, and the tv series are based on a real novel, which is in turn based on authors real life expiriences. And yet, i didn't meant that as "mature". I meant topics of homophobia, internalised and externalised, misogyny, AIDS, death of loved ones and etc.
You don't like explicit content? Your Name Engraved (Edit: My gf says that it does have it, but assures that it's still a touching story) on my Heart. Let Free The Curse of Taekwondo. No, those are not particularly happy. But our lives are not particularly happy either.
Can 18 y.os experience love? Yeah, for sure. I was a 14 y.o. freshly out of the closet girl once too. Do this show portray it gracefully? No. In fact, it doesn't portray it at all. So excuse me if i and other queer people are kind of pissed at it.
Will i continue watching it? Perhaps. If it gets better. So far, it didn't. And for what reason, a bunch of other lesbian, bi, gay and other folks already explained over and over again.
And i didn't insult you, at least didn't mean to. But no, i do not take into consideration straight people's opinion on queer shows.

I feel like you would benefit from watching something mature. Like love in the big city. (A true love story, just like you said, and not this stuff) Then you will understand what queer people want to see in their lgbt dramas. Not blatant queerbait at this point.
But, what did i expect from a straight person in the first place? Right, complete disregard to others taste and experience.
Edit: And since i have a feeling that you totally checked out my page, cause of the offhand mention of the squid game and action/thriller dramas(Which is...wow. Meow.), you could've also paid attention to the two bls i rated as 10 and 9 ✌️
Dunno who's in charge of the preview of the episodes, but truly love that they stubbornly continue to put Heesu and Seungwon on them, no matter how sparse their interactions were.
Well... that was disappointing. Why the heck am i seeing more of CY than HS. AND WHERE IS THE CHICKEN DATEEE????
I feel like we were all just collectively queer baited in a lgbt show lol. Cause tf you mean you talk about the potential date and then just....not....show it....?
to be blunt, I am a hetero person so it is interesting to see the bias of the lgbt+ and their insistence on watching…
This would make sense if the focus of the two episodes of the week was indeed on Heesu and not Chan Yeong's struggles lol. We don't see him from Heesu's perspective, we see him from either the "outsiders" (The third party: Us, the viewer) perspective, or his own.
Be patient...yeah, we hear it for two weeks now. But, we shall see. Maybe next week we have to be "just patient" too, yeah?
See, this is a problem i have too. Why do the second leads (are second leads in the first place?) get to be shown…
I would like to believe that thing about exploring relationship between the four is true, if not for the fact that the show is yet to explore relationship between Heesu and his best (!!!) friend in depth, we get one little scene of Ji Yu and Seungwon, and communication between any other combination other than main pairs is pretty much nonexistent.... No, let's be real, anything else that is not this stuff between Ji Yu and Chan Yeong.
If they're not gonna give all of the screen time of future episodes to Heesu and Seungwon, which is a pretty big IF, their relationship is gonna be 100% rushed.
soo because you want the other part, you’re here lying thru your teeth?? and how’s is this your comment going…
Y'know, i have nothing to say against Ji Yu, cause there's literally nothing to be critical of, but the guy is okay? Really? Really really? He's straight up a bad friend and a lukewarm person overall.
Mm, it seems I was far too quick to judge (or not judge rather) the inclusion of the CY + JI couple instead of…
See, this is a problem i have too. Why do the second leads (are second leads in the first place?) get to be shown off, why are their relationship is present and very prominent, but the MAIN leads feel very....not here? In the background? Why does all their stuff happen in the background?
I wanted to be positive. Very very bad. I did not watch the trailer, but as i can tell, people started to have their doubts back then. And now it just feels like all the doubts are being confirmed.
Everyone told us to wait and see. And so far, i do not like the things I'm seeing, and i have less and less hope with every positive thing i try to dug out.
Whilst I am enjoying Heesu in Class 2, I personally find it disheartening that, for a drama that has 10 episodes,…
I think this is the same problem that High School return of a Gangster suffered from. They wanted to make a re-make of a queer story so it would reach a broader audience. And honestly? What a shitty move.
Why, pray tell, do you insist on adapting a queer story, if you're not willing to go all the way? There's plenty of bromance and heterosexual webtoons, so i do not understand the issue. It kinda reeks of homophobia, but what do we expect from South Korea, right? Wrong. The can do good. They did! Love in the Big city was a hit in Korea. And they still do stuff like this?
At least Return of A Gangster didn't push pointless heterosexual romances to anyone and tried to insert subtle hints of tension. They tried. Here, i assume they were too afraid to even try to make the MAIN pair to be the MAIN focus.
Did the positives, here's the negative: Had to stop watching Friendly Rivalry with my gf for the new episode 🥀 never regretted watching an episode at the time of airing more than rn.
I would like to recommend to people who cannot bear the stuff happening right now to wait untill it's fully out. Kinda want to do that too. Cause this is honestly a little disappointing.
My favourite heterosexual romance with the side of BL, had do skip pretty weighty parts of the episode, but atp just business as usual.
Regardless, we are finally moving somewhere! At a turtle pace. Heesu is finally spending time with Seung Won without trying to wingman him. Really like how Seung Won is admitting freely and with confidence how yeah, he likes him, what about it? Just wish he was a bit more assertive, cause god knows Heesu has no interest in him otherwise, being in his own bubble.
Also, LOVE the sisters, how different and opinionated each of them are, and how they feel like real people. A rare sight to see in BLs.
But....those are only positives that came out of this week. They really did just gave two episodes to explore the second pair, huh? Neato.
