So he was one of the orphans or children in distress the mom took over - he must've been old enough to remember…
OMG, so young?! All my actual childhood is hazy, I have no real memory of myself until about 6 years of age and no structured remembrance of my primary school years... I thought everybody was about the same. 3 seems way too young to form lasting memories. Am I the one of the outliers, LOL? :D
He said he's going to have a "real" family himself, I wonder if he went to someone who adopted him and then left him behind or something...
I don't know how it's in Korea, but in my country if someone gets married the traditional way following all the…
In my country the only recognised marriage is the one legalised in the City Hall. You can choose to have or not have a religious ceremony after, but never before, and no traditions make it official without the civil act. Sometimes people wait to have a wedding party for years after they get actually married, LOL.
We have lots of common law situations, but they're not recognised by law because we also have lots of idiots who are ~afraid~ making them official would let in same-sex marriages.
On the other hand, you can divorce very easily if nothing's contested and there are no kids - just go to any legal notary and declare you're divorced and you're done (they give you a certificate of divorce and that's that).
The cheater's wife and the wedding salon employee were manifesting HARD for his presence, LOL. They had such a…
So he was one of the orphans or children in distress the mom took over - he must've been old enough to remember his foster mom, why doesn't HaeYoung recognize him? Or the other two foster sisters?
And who's the one in Canada that's making him want to run as fast and as far away as he can?! And more important, why?!
The cheater's wife and the wedding salon employee were manifesting HARD for his presence, LOL. They had such a strong sismance, hahaha~
OMG poor Bokyu's eyes!!!! They were burning!!! Great King Sejong reborn wouldn't have been able to restore the innocence of his mind even if he de-invented hangul!! How on Earth is mom addicted to that kind of stories while the son is dragged in hell by them LOL.
Please tell me this is not another remake of Addicted. Please tell me it is Addicted minus all the blood and gangster…
AH is based on the AH novel. The On1y One is based on A Certain Someone by Mu Su Li. Given the only thing they have in common is the school setting, why do you think this would be a remake of AH?!
night flight has one of the weakest conclusions on its own plot they built let's that sink in, just because it…
WIYL Director's Cut is pretty good actually. They changed a lot of shots and a few scenes, added lines they had previously cut, removed a bit of the pretty dark takes, the music comes through well. IMHO the DC is worth a watch.
I haven't watched most of those. I haven't been to interested. I started Where Your Eyes Linger and dropped it…
Where Your Eyes Linger wasn't a hit with me either with the drama, they played it too cruel and dark. But the Director's Cut of the movie is very good, you might give it a try again and see if your perception changes, as mine did.
The Eight Sense is also pretty good, though more muted, as KBL usually is.
Cherry Magic is a whole different beast, there's no way to compare - it's funny and perfect match made in heaven and all that, but definitely a pretty (VERY pretty) manga adaptation.
... Now if anyone ever had the courage to do a GOOD adaptation of Haru Wo Daiteita - that would be a great drama to watch!
Why I always browse and watch so many spoilers like I didn't even remember that scene in the past episodes, and…
Many people in here have already read the book or are in the process of reading it, so the spoilers might be from the novel itself and not the drama. The novel is great, try it if you want to see how they can write a sensitive coming of age danmei love story :)
Yea, all of those people, including his mother, never visited him in jail and when he returned I just wanted to…
She is most definitely not his friend and if you read the novel you know why.
RE why is everybody so ugly mean with him - well, he never DID say publicly until now he didn't do it - he accepted he COULD have done it, because he couldn't go through with the time in jail otherwise. Only now he's back and finding clues he's starting to realise he might not have killed at least one of them, maybe neither. But he wasn't sure before - and he still doesn't remember.
The regular people who only gossiped about it only know him as a killer. Those involved in the cover up got selective amnesia and fixed hard on him being the killer, despite rationally knowing it couldn't be him. But it MIGHT have been him so instead of serving up their own kids, they chose to believe it WAS him.
People's minds can do wonderful tricks of justification when they want to.
humm. Not that I have any data on this subject, or do I encourage "playing the field" but objectively speaking,…
You're going by the wrong assumption that people who go on dating sites are actually going there for MARRIAGE (or at least long-term relationships) opportunities. I hate to break this to you but most dating sites are actually used for hookups and not much more beyond that (exceptions happen.) And when it's a hookup, they go for people who at least look attractive to them and not just anybody (same thing goes for men or women).
In other words, people want to have sex if they can, with whoever they can and maybe not even become attached.
Another problem is that for women sex is usually much more rational than instinctive, as seems to be for men. We don't easily go into a random sexual relationship (though it happens, I'm not presuming we're talking in absolutes here) when we want a REAL relationship. A lot of becoming familiar with each other, some tenderness, some romancing, are involved for us to consider actual partners. Men seem to expect things to progress very fast with casual dates, though and if it's not happening they move on. Don't put this on women - building a relationship takes time and involvment on both sides.
A good personality will shine through no matter how it's presented in the physical body. And if the woman that man is interested in isn't responding to that, maybe the man should change their intended interest.
Which is to say, "average young men of today who can't date", get the f out of social media and worshipping photoshopped virginal idols and instagrammers that don't even exist in real life, and try to look around you. If you're that good, there's a person right next to you you can actually talk to.
The issue with incels isn't that they're "unattractive", it's that they're men who think they're owed sex, gratification…
Women were freaking NOT more happy in older times. Very few women were independently wealthy and even IF they had wealth they had no status unless they were noble. The rest of them were just as unhappy, if not more, than any other time. I think THESE times are when we get to actually find our happiness as we can - and a lot of us, and in growing numbers, chose not to find it in a relationship. I am who I am and not a "half" of anything, better or worse.
Are you just assuming that women were happier because they were married to (average) men who made their lives better?! But WHY? Women had NO other way to make a living, unless they prostituted themselves one way or the other - they had no education, they couldn't even speak out in church, since that idiot Paul's voice is the one most ringing in men's ears about how women should be meek and obedient, until the WWs they couldn't even dream of getting much of an actual job for themselves that wasn't home-related - HOW could they do anything else but marry? It's like having to choose the preferred poison - you still get poisoned in the end.
As for the incels in this forum - just read through their comments. If you were a woman, you'd stay away too. Who would want to even spend a minute in the company of people who call women whores for having had a boyfriend, and men (drama leads) "eunuchs" for not having facial hair? If you initially reply to them in good faith trying to see their POV, it all eventually devolves into insults and body shaming and slut shaming and what not because they can't handle not being immediately approved and praised for their idiotic stances! Just do this - read through some of their comments. Then come and tell the women in here how they're just the average male frustrated with not being picked because women prefer better looking men.
TBH, this is a faceless topic. You can only judge people by their words, not their looks. And these people come through as extremely ugly on the inside. Nobody would ever care if s*it comes packed into glamourous paper - it still smells like s*it.
this is the first time I’ve experienced seeing one of my faves from censored Chinese BL transfer to an actual…
Priest's Da Ge got made into an uncensored Taiwan drama - Unknown. Granted, it's Priest, so you know she doesn't really write too many sex scenes anyway LOL (I think she's one of the very few danmei authors who realize they're not good at writing xxx hahaha~ though obviously there are some who are VERY good at it, too - like Tiang Jiu Qing... Just those scenes in Qiang Jin Jiu - wow!).
Shui Qiang Cheng's Professional Body Double got made into a (so much) uncensored Thai drama - My Stand-In, and also her Blooming Flowers Silent Sorrow got made into an uncensored Thai-Taiwan coproduction - Meet You at the Blossom. (My Stand-In is very good and so well-made, despite the extreme ML).
Those wouldn't probably be many people's absolute favourites (I like MuSuLi, not usually SQC, LOL), but they're a huge jump ahead when China doesn't allow even bromance-pretending very censored danmei adaptation to be released.
There's a remake of AH made by Thailand that will most definitely not be censored, so there's that, for anyone who likes AH.
There are rumours of other Taiwan-made danmei novel based dramas, so here's hoping they keep them coming.

Also, to my non-Chinese speaking person's ear, his Mandarin accent sounds better than his English. Never expected Reese to be the shou, LOL.
This drama needs way more new songs. Can they have Sea write new songs for the both of them to sing together?
TBH, the adaptation is pretty good so far, except for some little hiccups in 3-4. Now there's a certain pace, it's going really well.
I'd say that Ha Seol is the breath of fresh air and she's straight out of skandi-noir too LOL.

TOO had mainland leads until the new rules and the production team moved to Taiwan and changed most of the cast...
