Well, you did mention that this show is something of a breakthrough for closeted gay people, It is not my words, yours, The ones in the very beginning, i might add. What did it do for us though? Compels me. But you are hellbent on arguing with people without presenting any actual arguments, so this conversation was a dead end from the beginning.

And for those who crave the same but with women, i recommend "Pyramid Game", "Glitch" and "Friendly Rivalry". It has meaningfulness that Hessu tried to show with the one episode sapphic girl but failed. (This bullsh deeply offended me as a lesbian but whatever)

Reading this as a closeted lesbian is very humorous ngl. No, this show does not gaf about us. It is, though, being actively homophobic. Maybe you should listen to queer people, cause most of us do not complain about lack of kissing. We complain about lack of both emotional and physical (Any platonic touch) closeness between main leads, when the straight pair (any of them, really) have lots and lots of both. Maybe you should re-read carefully, without the bias against dissatisfied viewers getting in the way.

Thank you! It means a lot to me that people are not afraid to speak openly on things that are harmful to our community, instead of closing their eyes and pretending that everything is fine and implying that we should settle for less. We will not get anything better than this if we just sit with our mouths shut lol.

Seeing skinship as something dirty/not pure is something that baffles me the most. Not even talking about sex or kissing, although it is very normal too. Hand holding, hugging, hair ruffling, sitting tight to tight. All the ways you could show love as borderline platonic, without all the so called "soft porn". We've been shown straight pair doing all that THE WHOLE SEASON. Why is showing the same for the gay pair is dirty if it's not minimal? To show that "see, gay love is actually pure and divine"? Please, it's pure homophobia. And those people defend it.

Istg at first it was "they'll come around, just wait a bit, it's only the beginning", then it was "it's a slow burn! Wait even longer, it's peak!" now it's "well, at least this is realistic for gay people in Korea!". Naw, but you know what is, though? Love In the Big City. Where the topic of homophobia is one of the main topics. Here, it is BARELY touched, and yet people still use it to defend this show.

I know a thing or two about homophobia and many other societal issues, i live in mf Russia. And seeing people defend this show beacuse "it's realistic"? Please. We DO NOT confess to each other in dark rooms. We do not stay at respectful distance when we are completely alone, and even when we aren't, we still find ways to subtly express ourselves. Characters in LiTBC were way more touchy feely IN PUBLIC, and it's still one of the best portrayals of the homophobic society. And if we're talking about actual realism of the high schoolers, students in high school barely have time for dating, so.

Stop defending bad shows cause you feel spiritual closeness to them or something, it does not make them good.

Yeah, and maybe we deserve something better than that at least some of our shows, no?

If you people still push the narrative "it's good if you just skip *literally half of the show*", stop doing that. To be good, every minute of the show should make you want to chew on your hand in anticipation, make you lock in so hard, you forget to breathe sometimes. Not whatever that was.

Right? I saw some girl talking about how most Korean BLs are disappointing, and she would rather watch censored clearly queer stories than something like....that, cause at least the first ones have actual plot and character development. A lot of people jumped her, but honestly, i agree. I would rather watch a plot-heavy show that does not put romance in the centre with a hint of queerness than live through sometimes like HIC2 again.

People need to criticise stuff like this if we want to get something better, instead of closing our eyes and praising it for the bare minimum.

Yeah. It was disappointing, but i was prepared for that. Kind of regret now waiting for each episode every week and watching them right away, felt like a waste of time.

Yeah, realistic, sure. But it is adapted from a BL story. If it was an original work, sure, whatever. But why did you adapt a BL story just to make it "realistic"? Bro, if i wanted realism, i could've walked around my city fearing to hold a girl's hand cause they can put us both in jail for that.

Sometimes, you need realistic stories. But not the ones that are adapted from unrealistic ones.

I really "loved" that they sat at respectful distance from each other after bro-hugging the confession out. I'm way closer physically to my platonic friends than those supposed boyfriends, lol.

I knew it's gonna be a last minute confession. I knew they're gonna show 30 seconds at best of them dating. Still, is it not even slightly disappointing to you that the "side" pair got all of those moments together, starting from the very BEGINNING of the show, when Seungwon and Heesu became kind of friends only halfway through? Is it not disappointing that every misunderstanding easily could've been a confession? Episode 6, episode 8, episode 9? Is last minute resolution really that satisfying to you? Is it not tiring thinking, they're gonna get more emotional moments together maybe next week?

I know my answers. Be honest with yours. That's all.

The show is beautiful. Music, scenery is beautiful. Acting is amazing. It's just the story that tries to do too much and too little at the same time.

Naw, one more coming in like 9- 10 hours from now, sadly.

I only smoked out of peer pressure but now it makes me wanna smoke for real.

Every time Chan Yeong is on screen my eyelid twitches.

Same thing lol watched WHC2 with my darling and forgot this existed at all. Tells a lot, actually.

Disappointment is a national sport, and oh boy, i am a golden medalist now.

Every time you wish for something good in this show, it turns on you. "The sisters are great plot devices" we get unnecessary scenes with them now too. "Ho Sik and his LI are cuter than CY and JY" same thing. "I wish they fleshed out Chan Yeong and Heesu' friendship more" this a-hole admits that he never EVER paid any attention or asked any questions about Heesu, and turns the blame on Heesu for that. "Bet it's gonna be a last minute confession" Bingo! To the wrong person. "I wish they gave more character growth to Ji Yu and Chan Yeong" now they get hell of a lot meaningless scenes together and separate, eating up sparse main's time.

Man, Heesu and Seungwon must have scoliosis by now, considering how hard they're dragging this show on their backs. Cause there's isn't any point in watching this if not for them and them only. And by now, oh boy, it seems that even this is a very bad decision. One step forward, three steps back.

Watch this. Without any expectations. Not hoping for more. Maybe then, you will be happy. For other people though? This is pure, unfiltered disappointment.

Ok ty. But i still think that few people being aggressive while facing disrespect is understandable. Have a nice day.

Do you really think it is unreasonable? Because as I've seen, quite a few people on here tried to act as if "heterophobia" is a real issue, just like OP, and tried to spin the blame onto us for being "heterophobic" . It's straight up disrespectful when the majority of complaints about the quality of the show come from queer people.
