I think this is one of those series that’s enjoyable to watch but it’s easily forgettable. Like I’ve only just watched the last episode and I already know I’m not going to rewatch this or even think about it again. I have no complaints, it was a good series, but there was nothing incredible or memorable about it. No part of this series made it stand out, so while I’m glad I watched it I don’t think I’ll ever rewatch or recommend it to anyone again.

Sohee is horrible and I honestly hate her so much, so I’m hoping she won’t get any redemption for what she did and that her and Namgoong won’t get together, but unfortunately I’ve seen enough Korean dramas to know it’s very likely that on the last episode she and Namgoong will start dating and Daon will probably forgive her. No matter what happens though (if this doesn’t happen) then in my mind none of them forgave her for what she did, and TaekyungShinwoo & DaonNamgoong all started dating and lived happily ever after.

I was literally about to comment the same thing, like how amazing of a plot twist would that be! I would love it if Taekyung and Shinwoo can get together soon then Namgoong confesses to Daon to make 2 couples in the student council. That’s where I wish the series would go but honestly it’s looking more likely that Namgoong and Sohee will end up together though I really hope that won’t happen.

It’s something very difficult for a lot of people to understand. I can understand that some people want him to speak up because if Kaprao found the strength to do it, they think Bas can as well. Bas’ statement could change the whole outcome of these accusations so I understand why people feel so strongly about this. But we just watched the end of episode 3. It’s clear from that one scene alone Bas isn’t strong enough. If he speaks up every aspect of his life will be picked up and twisted, he will go through hell in the courtroom. People online will never let him forget what happened. That’s why I said he needs therapy and time to come to terms with what happened. I wish other people could understand these views.

Was that whole rant supposed to change my mind or something, because if so you wasted a lot of time there. I’m a lesbian living in a small, conservative town. I face discrimination daily. I’ve watched my best friend k*ll herself after being SA, I’ve watched people’s lives fall apart around me because of r*pe. I spent 2 years studying psychopathology and social influence so I could become a therapist and help people deal with trauma. While I may have changed my mind on that part later, it’s still a career I hold a lot of respect for and see my own therapist for trauma. Plus it’s not only MY opinion that this comment was offensive, people have been commenting a few comments the same as OP’s and I’ve seen a SA survivor even tell someone off in the comments because of what they said, and it wasn’t that far off what this comment said. So if other people have found it offensive, especially someone the comment pertains to, it must not be me being “hyper-sensitive”.

Also “you want other peoples freedom of speech and expression shut down” made me laugh quite a lot. Would it just be an opinion if OP were to call POC rude names like dirty monkey, or to call people of the LGBT community f*ggots? Where does a line cross between being an opinion and a statement of malicious intent? Calling someone who doesn’t want to report the assault they faced because their whole live could be ruined unclean, impure and cold hearted sounds pretty malicious.

Yes there are millions comments, statements etc that express horrible ideas. So you want to know what I do? I message them. I talk to them, helping them understand why this view is considered wrong and talk them through alternate ways of seeing things. I’ll take the time to educate them on a topic I’ve had a lot of experience in through both studies and firsthand experience. You have no idea who I am, you have no idea the horrific things I’ve had done to me and have had to watch happen. So yes, comments like OP’s are triggering. But sometimes people post there outrageous “opinions” on the internet without trying to understand anyone else’s perspective. I read through your entire comment trying to understand where you are coming from with that essay and if I can help make you understand my point, but it’s clear you are only reaching for outlandish points such as me trying to “silence” OP means I should move to China.

Look if you or even OP want to have a proper conversation about this keeping feelings aside and just discussing the facts I would love to do that. I’m in a debate society and love to help talk and educate others and even gain my own perspective on matters. If you have any insightful things to share I would love to know them and help learn more new things about these issues. However, if you want to take the time to write out whole paragraphs condemning me for not wanting any SA survivors to potentially have a PTSD flashback or dissociate (again, something I have watched happen firsthand with an SA survivor) then I’ll leave this comment here and probably won’t respond unless necessary. Have a nice day (or night depending where you are)!

“Daring to disagree” that’s a rather pleasant way to describe it but whatever floats your boat. I’m not sure if you’re just too sensitive but no one should have to read the kind of comments OP made, and I feel so sorry if any SA survivors have had to read this. Blocking doesn’t change the fact these comments are out there for anyone to see which could be very triggering to some people who have to read awful comments like “but they should be clean pure hearted souls by complaining and risking their career to save other boys” (changed slightly to make the English more understandable). OP just implied that if they don’t report their assaulters they are unclean, impure and cold hearted and you actually expect me to accept that it’s just my “tender feelings” that made me offended by this? It is offensive. It’s vile and it’s cruel.

Sometimes I wish I could just report people’s accounts for the comments they make so I don’t have to read this bullsh*t anymore.

I know, it’s awful. If you haven’t done already please help by reporting all those comments to get them taken down. I feel so bad for any other victims of SA reading these comments!

What the hell is wrong with every sick person in the comments condemning Bas for not wanting to reveal what happened to him?!! Even before we found out what Tee did to him we already saw several examples of abuse he and the others were facing in this industry. They had to drink disgusting chicken shakes instead of eating food to keep in shape. Bas had to constantly work out to fit the “ideal” view of strong top and weak, innocent looking bottom. They lost all of their privacy including limited access to social media, and their every weakness was picked apart every single day. Despite all of this people want to sit here and talk about how it’s ridiculous he doesn’t want to report Tee because his career will end after every he’s given up to get to this point!! He’s given up so much to the point he was sick and throwing up every day because he didn’t want to stop acting yet some of you are talking about how he shouldn’t just be thinking of himself and calling him selfish. If he was going to reveal this, it should be to get justice for himself. Please tell me what’s so bad about just thinking of yourself instead of others because I just can’t understand! I understand that it’s important to speak up on these matters because either now or in the future Tee can do this to even more people, and speaking up could prevent this, however it’s not about anyone else, this is about Bas. Kaprao was strong enough to stand against this but Bas is not, Bas needs therapy and time to come to terms with what happened. A persons career is really important to some people and with these allegations there’s a chance he could never be hired again because that’s the world we live in. I’m honestly disgusted with some of you in the comments, I hope you learn some compassion!

Honestly when I first saw the post I really wanted to send an entire rant at OP but decided against it and just reported it instead. I’m glad other people called them out on it though!

You’re not the only one who reported it, I did as soon as I saw it too, so hopefully the mods saw and deleted it. It was honestly such a sickening comment to read.

I read it on a website called tokyorevengersmanga.com that has the official translations to all 217 chapters that have been released so far. If you type the website name in all the chapters will come straight up and it’s really easy to click on and read.

…That’s enough internet for me today…

Edit- Thank god they changed this, originally the description said it was a 30 year old with a 15 year old.

I’ve already finished the manga and I’m loving the anime atm so I’m so excited to watch this soon!!

Although I wasn’t expecting that ending I’m happy for Chudjane and Mick. I really thought it would be between Ken and Sean, but even though I never expected Mick, I’m satisfied with the ending. Wishing luck to Chudjane and Mick!!

Same, I was really disappointed that Perfect was eliminated in the most recent episode but I do like Ken so I wasn’t too upset. After the end of episode 9 I really think he’ll choose Sean, so keeping my fingers crossed.

Honestly I’m glad this is over now because I’ve been watching all the episodes on 2x speed just because I wanted to try sticking with it as I hate dropping series unless I absolutely can’t stand it. Honestly the only couples I really liked were SunNeua, PuthKaeng, and ChokeSat. I really thought I would enjoy the TalayYoonPerth dynamic but I just found it creepy and weird. I absolutely get that it’s hard to move on from a loved one, but celebrating his birthday with your new boyfriend just feels a little weird to me. If you’ve got a new boyfriend then surely that’s the time you should be moving on. Hopefully I’m not the only one who found that whole scene in particular just really weird to watch. Honestly the whole outfit thing when going out with friends seemed quite childish but I don’t think it’s as toxic as I’ve seen people make it out to be, same with the asking permission (I think it’s fine to ask your partner permission to go out, but you shouldn’t have to “earn” it or dress a certain embarrassing way to do it). I feel like I could write several essays about how weird this series was over all, but to save everyone time I’ll end this with a final review. This series would have done so much better a few years ago, back when BL quality was pretty low. Now we have had so many high budget series that our expectations have risen much more, which I think is why this series really failed for me. I’ll definitely be coming back to this series to rewatch episodes 9 and 10, but other than that this series will be completely forgotten about to make room for the next great BL drama that will be released in the future instead.

I will actually cry if this gets cancelled I’ve been waiting so long for this and the trailer looked amazing and was really successful. Honestly they would be really stupid to drop this project so I’m hoping it will continue!

I’ve been so excited for this as soon as it was announced! Unfortunately the novels English fan translation was deleted on the website I read this on a while ago, so I can’t go back to reread it, but I do remember loving it so hopefully it stays true to the novel. Hopefully the number of episodes will be announced soon along with an official release date, and I’m looking forward to watching it!!

It stands for another GMMTV drama called A Tale Of Thousand Stars.
