The SML needs to go to jail, he always intends to kill his brother but disguises his hate for wanting to protect him. I always avoid dramas the FML acts in because I simply don’t like her acting, I deadass started watching this drama because of jaejoong was on the cover. I didn’t even realize she was in it until I watched the first episode. She always manages to play characters I hate, this time is no different. Like every character just lacks any sense and even the male lead rn at his most confident lacks any self respect.
Do you know how much I have to hate how this show is and its characters to log into this account and rant? FuCK almost every single character minus the male lead and Si on. I hate the fl and the 2ml sooo much. I don't ever see how Gun could ever like, forgive and be with her ? She's extremely selfish and unprofessional, she is using him as a lab rat and is basically in cahoots with his brother. His brother is incredibly selfish and an overall piece of shit. Do I a give a fuck if he has OCD? No, I have it too but that will never excuse his actions. I just know that the writer is not going to give Gun a much better ending of his brother and the fl facing the consequences of their actions. Don’t get me started on the parents. They all deserve shit thrown at their face. The ml deserves a better life without any of them. The 2ml and fl don’t even deserve to be together I just hope they suffer. I cannot imagine how the writer is going to make all this better. I’m so close to dropping this out of anger
As the show is coming to an end I wanted to share an interview Jun did with Teen Vogue!
““I am quite open-minded about [the topic of] LGBTQ+ [people] and respect everyone’s values and decisions,” Jun says. “I definitely don’t think it’s something that is wrong because we are all born differently. I’ve always thought quite simply about this topic — what is, is.” It’s refreshing to witness a BL actor who understands his own impact in a queer space, and who genuinely cares about normalizing thoughtful stories about LGBTQ+ characters, especially since he isn’t part of that community…
“We have a lot of LGBTQ+ fans,” Jun says. “I remember receiving a lot of support and love from them when they heard that I would be playing this role. They thanked me for expressing these values as an artist. I was proud that I could tell a part of their story, and be another voice for them through this role.”“ https://t.co/RprUfXupBw
I love this period drama. The Joseon style clothing and architecture are really beautiful and so different from…
The major reason why they don’t is because Korean bls have a smaller budget. There isn’t enough sponsorships which is the biggest reasons why majority bls in other countries are longer and higher quality. Thai bls are known for product placement, and that’s because it helps keep the show going. Thai bls are also known for releasing a teaser a year before the show’s release, and that’s usually to attract potential sponsorships for the show. Yes homophobia is another reason, but I think most people forget that SK has been producing a lot of LGBTQ+ movies for decades. Most Korean bls are basically a movie cut up into a few segments, and they’re often released as a movie after airing. If funding was bigger the dramas would be too. I’m sure when more companies take notice on how profitable and in demand bls are, Korean bls will become longer.
I love how the romance in this drama wasn’t rushed or sudden. You can tell by like the 2nd-3rd episode that Eunho and Heon always felt an attraction towards each other. They really built it up nicely and it just feels natural 😭 does anyone else notice how they didn’t have any moments of questioning their feelings
By the way, I want to write a script for a drama whose episodes will be an hour long each. Mature BL with the…
Wish you luck on that! <33 Keep in mind getting as much sponsorships as possible, especially if you want a budget high enough to produce a drama with each episode being an hour long😭
Yo, why the f are historical south korean BLs (or SK BLs in general) always harder and lower rated than any other…
Definitely agree. Most of the people are just upset at the length of the show, which is understandable. But what they also need to understand is that budgeting is the reason why most Korean bls are not long. Unlike in Thai and even Taiwanese bls, there isn’t much funding. Thai bls run mostly off of sponsorships, which is why it’s known for always having product placement. Whether it be cars, food, drinks, cosmetics, and games. They have the money to produce 8-12 episodes that are an hour each. Korean bls are in its early stages. There are barely any sponsors so obviously budgeting is way smaller. If one wants longer k bls there needs to be a demand established. The first two episodes are probably around 26 minutes altogether and people were already complaining on how “bland” and “slow paced” it is. Huh??? The first two episodes are important because it establishes and introduces the characters. Of course you aren’t gonna get straight into the romance and drama. The 3rd and 4th episodes are the stepping stones for that. It’s introduced to it. If it were fast paced then there will be complaints on that. Altogether it’s just gonna be like a movie cut into 8 segments. And for that it’s doing great. The actors did an amazing job for what they were given, especially Jun because he has experience. There were somethings I found were a missed opportunity on the productions part. This drama is really good for what it was given.
I think this is such a cute start! I just wait until Saturday when both episodes are up and subbed so I can watch…
This!! It’s free on Viki, the most you’ll wait is a day or two. If you want longer Korean bls it’s really important to actually show that there is an audience for it so production companies know to make it and potential sponsorships will actually invest in it. Watching it on it’s actual site= More views= High demand=sponsorships= longer dramas
