Episodes 3 & 4:Oh wow, so Lee Won is psycho...that explains why I've found him so hot to this point.Lee Dong…
Oh yeah, I always have the hots for psycho man candy as well! 😍 Maybe I'm in urgent need of therapy, but somehow I don't think I want to cure this particular mental glitch as long as it only applies for fictional red/black flags!🤣
For me the interesting scenario is that each boy has a 30yo inside him who, after time-traveling, is falling in…
Maybe the morality police didn't caught up with this series yet! Thankfully there are so many BLs out there that this one managed to escape their attention so far! Let's enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts!
Hm... it's a criminal offense that only 2 episodes left! We've just got a new, extremely hot and deliciously unhinged baddie to play with and you are telling me that things will conclude in less than 50 minutes? Or this is only season 1 and we'll be gifted with season 2 in a very near future? I bloody hope so!
I think there’s a rather important distinction being made here between understanding flawed characters and excusing…
I truly appreciate that you took your time to express your point of view!
Let me start with a few questions, because I'm curious about how did you arrive to certain conclusions! What made you think that Yujin is to quote your words "controlling, manipulative, disrespectful or coercive"? Their relationship haven't even really started yet, they barely know each other beyond the student/teacher dynamic! What you are accusing her of takes time and considerable effort, careful planning and cold, calculated malice to execute!
On the other hand, Minjae's little lab rats are constantly being dismissive, disrespectful and taking advantage of his gentle nature! Even his female "best friend" conveniently ignored the fact for many years that Minjae still had tender feelings for her! So, she kept her best buddy at hand to call up for entertainment when she wasn't dating someone, knowing perfectly well that he won't be able to move on! Talking about being selfish and manipulative!
Meanwhile, our little firecracker even when she was six sheets to the wind drunk, still asked for consent to kiss him in that alley! This is the same woman who stopped a s*xual assault, who's been betrayed and lied to both by her supposed mentor and her friend. On top of that Yujin was carelessly dismissed/doubted by Minjae when she said that she would be interested in robotics! He literally didn't know anything about her at that point, but he started to lecture her instead of being genuinely helpful/informative or encouraging her to take a look and see if she has a solid foundation to successfully change her major! In other words Minjae drew first blood!
Talking about Minjae, here comes my second question! Why do you assume that he is some kind of poor victim who fell into a trap of a Korean Mata Hari? He is a highly intelligent grown man who managed to beat cancer, learned to handle his physical limitations and the cruel environment of being a disabled person in a society that is insanely obsessed with perfection above all else! He learned to expect being pitied and treated as damaged goods who might be more of a burden than a reliable, strong future son-in-law! Minjae is not some clueless, meek and weak minded adolescent! He is clearly aware of Yujin's shortcomings and he is perfectly capable to decide his own fate/future! He is missing a part of his leg, NOT part of his brain! Minjae already expressed how hurt and heartbroken he was by Yujin's first reaction/behavior regarding his disability, so he isn't blind to her bad/inappropriate impulses and unpredictable temper! After careful consideration to keep his emotional equilibrium, he even rejected her romantic advances repeatedly! There's no coercion, manipulation or any other negative factors that made/forced him to take a leap of fate! He simply came to terms with the fact that despite her peculiar personality and fiery temper he has fallen for her, because she could make him feel cherished and desirable! She made him feel like a real man, not some poor boy with a disadvantage!
So here is my third question. Why do you think that their relationship is unhealthy in any way? Both of them started with a mistake, albeit Yujin's was considerably more hurtful, but they openly discussed it and moved forward! They are well aware of all the obstacles that is coming their way including family matters, societally prejudices, discrimination and possible rejection/opposition from others, not to mention facing a long distance relationship in the near future! Their relationship will be an uphill battle from the get go, but as Minjae put it "if I swallow the Sun, there's no spitting it out! There's no turning back! Are you sure that you still want this? ", This is a clear understanding between two consenting adults with all their faculties intact! This is as healthy as a newly established relationship can get!
On a final note let me address two more issues that you brought up! First about me being unfair/unjust or presumptuous about "younger netizens". We all know that age is just a number and having a higher count doesn't automatically equal wisdom! However, there are certain disadvantages of becoming an adult in the age of social media where things get distorted and manipulated to promote or advance any agenda, trend, social ques and moral/ethical norms! This is the age of buzzwords, safe spaces, tribal bubbles and cancel culture that could actually drive people to s*icide! Everything gets analyzed and criticized, looking for some negative aspects to the point where common sense no longer apply and people just getting offended and outraged by imaginary offenses that they read into a neutral/harmless issue! Being on the North side of 40, I grew up in a different world, where people actually talked to each other, when facts were agreed on, when finding a human connection didn't require swiping left after a quick glance and didn't needed an influencer to tell me what to eat, what to like or who to love!
Of course, it doesn't make me wiser or smarter than someone younger than me, but it gives me the humility, the compassion and the higher degree of tolerance and the understanding that we must keep learning about human nature and not to judge so quickly! I spent over 20 years as a nurse and a teacher and I can tell you with absolute confidence that the definition of love and normalcy is broader and more inclusive than what most people are capable to understand! Here comes the second issue that you raised, namely "accepting or defending or tolerating" bad/inappropriate behavior!
What is acceptable/tolerable/forgivable is very subjective to each individual! It all depends on upbringing, educational level, social and ethnic affiliation and standing, religious teachings, maturity and the list goes on! I don't promote/advocate/accept/tolerate ANY behavior that is detrimental to one's well being, but I am aware of the fact that things that I might find unacceptable or problematic might be tolerable or even welcome to others! Some people like bossy, demanding and possessive/jealous girls, others would see that type of behavior as a red flag! So, is it a bad behavior or it's a question of preference? Some people can forgive a mistake in a relatively short time while others might take moths or years to get over the same mistake or might never able to forgive! Is holding a grudge or being unable to forgive is a flaw or just a difference in coping mechanism ? Who decides which option is the "right" one?
We are all different, but at the same time we are all want/need the same things! Love, kindness, understanding, compassion, caring, shelter and protection! These are the fundamental blocks that we all build our lives upon!
Oh man this BL is an absolute masterpiece and I just cried my heart out! This is one of those cinematic gems that will stay with me for a lifetime! This BL worth every single teardrop and then some! Just WOW!
Hm, I was thinking that I should just let some comments go and keep my fingertips to myself, but as you can see I've failed to do so!
I don't know what kind of world people are living in these days, because lately I feel that maybe I'm from some other dimension or something! This love story is unique, authentic and so deeply human! The main characters are flawed, quirky, emotionally exhausting and unapologetically walking their own path regardless what's "the norm" by society's standards!
This series is NOT some kind of cutesy, fluffy modern day fairy tale! This is the messy side of human relationships, full of uncertainty, emotional turmoil, personality issues, jealousy, lack of self control and anxiety! This is NOT a green flag parade nor a purity contest!
Life is complicated, mostly unfair and many of us would never fit the mold that is commercialized and pushed down on our throats by romance movies, novels and soppy songs! The real world is full of people with unconventional personalities, behavioral oddities, impulsive/compulsive issues, impaired coping mechanism, self image/identity hurdles and the list goes on! Guess what? Those people fall in love too! They might go through life like an elephant charging through a china-shop, but their feelings, emotions, vulnerability and love is just as strong, just as deep and real as everyone else's!
So, please, spare me all the self righteous judgment, the moral superiority complex, the unrealistic green flag obsession and all that whining about how wrong/crazy/obsessed/pushy/unlikable a character is in your world view! Even though this is a fictional story, it is more realistic than all that over romanticized, lame ass copycat romance series that portrays unrealistic and/or unattainable relationships in the real world!
For those of you who are blessed with a life that is full of impeccable morals, flawless people, mental clarity and physical perfection, congratulations! You won the lottery of human existence! Your life is nearly perfect in every way, so do me a favor and check your ego at the door before entering our messy dimension, because none of us could ever measure up to your superiority!
One more thing! I think most of those whining or judgmental post are coming from young netizens who are yet to experience the complexity of human existence! Life is full of adjustments, compromises, failures, disappointments, cruelty, physical and mental pain, loss and unexpected obstacles! Of course, if we are lucky there are so many beautiful things that we get to experience along the way, but as we are getting older that's when we gain some clarity, tolerance and acceptance of all the imperfections that comes with being human! I'm sure my post will ruffle some feathers and that's alright with me! I'm a flawed person too like most of us in this world and I won't pretend otherwise!
Personally I think this series is one of the best K-dramas I 've seen for a while! It's thought provoking, emotionally charged, nuanced and unpredictable! The writers keep throwing a curveball and dare to challenge our perception of what a love story should be! I cherish every outlandish/clumsy/over the top and questionable decisions/reactions that Yujin makes, because while she is wrestling with her emotional imbalance she keeps putting herself out there regardless how much it might hurt! She admits when she is wrong, she declares her feelings openly and honestly! She can be brash, being too naive, overly jealous and insecure, bossy and demanding, but under all that she is deeply vulnerable and sensitive! Moreover, she is brave! She knows what kind of storm is brewing and all the negative and painful things that will be brought in with it when she will stand by Minjae's side come what may! Honestly, her personality is the perfect counterbalance of Minjae's calm, subdued and gentle character and her fierceness is the ultimate tool to fight for their love!
So, I think the Japanese version is not bad, but it is very hard not to compare to the original masterpiece! The leading actress copied lots specific gestures and facial expressions from Park Eun Bin's sensational portrayal of a person with autism spectrum disorder and I found that a bit unfortunate, because I hoped to see the actress' own interpretation of the character. From the rest of the cast I like Minato (Junho) and the grumpy attorney Takuma (attorney Kwon) the best so far.
The only character that feels completely miscast is the team leader, attorney Miyaji (attorney Jung)! I think he is too old, lacks comical timing, lacks the "hot nerd" charm that was so captivating in the original series! It's NOT the actor's fault, it's a casting blunder and the writers didn't do any favors for this important character either! After the first episode I'm truly on the fence about watching the rest of the series, because I cannot be completely objective and how much I'm disappointed about the miscast of one of my beloved characters!
Maybe I'll watch one more episode to see if I can somehow overlook/tolerate the team leader's bland/boring appearance and lack of character and charm to still enjoy the show! Of course this is only IMHO as always and I'll see you next week!
So, for the netizens who pointed out the lack of prep in the final scene I would like to remind you that 99.5% of the BL series skip that part for 3 reasons!
First and foremost making it truly realistic would add to the scene a minimum 15-20 minutes for the experienced couples of the show and almost a double amount of that time to others for enacting someone's first time! These are NOT adult films, so the actors would be emotionally, mentally and physically overwhelmed trying to keep it real and stay emotionally engaged!
Second reason is the cost of shooting that much extra footage that would have require many takes to finish! Finding a sponsor and keep things within budget is no small task for even the most loaded and famous companies, so inevitably some things will have to be left out!
Third, the writers assume that in this day and age, people who follow this genre/fandom are well aware of and knowledgeable enough about what needs to be done to protect and care for the well being of one's partner! Even if the viewer him/herself have never experienced it yet, both common sense and the internet provides plenty of information on this particular subject!
Personally, the only BL that comes to mind where a few minutes of prep was shown was in 'My Stubborn' in the special episode right on the kitchen countertop! If you've seen it, you know exactly what I am referring to! For everyone else, you just have to take my word for it until you see it with your own eyes!
On a final note, the last 15 minutes of episode 8 was absolutely sensational! It felt real, it felt genuine and it was moving! Before watching this episode my favorite first time BL scene was the one between Payu and Rain in LITA! Their lovemaking wasn't as tender as this one, but it completely fit their character and personalities and it felt just as real and moving as it did in this BL! Of course this is only IMHO as always and I'll see you next week!
As far as I understand it, Tian is not alive. It's his spirit that they were talking to.Changyang even says, "He's…
Well, he wasn't on the mountain when Qing Lang tricked him faking an injury! Tian came running and when Qing Lang embraced him I completely lost it! So, technically in that particular timeline he is alive! Back in the current timeline in the mountain scene it's only his spirit that they are seeing/communicating with! At least that's my understanding of how the magic tea works. I mean the 21yrs old Qing Lang somehow slipped through to our timeline and had to be sent back, right?! That's why I was begging for stealing him from that timeline and don't let him go back!
God I haven't cried this hard since ep 13 aired! Can we steal Tian from that timeline? Since the special episodes went for a supernatural route as it is, can we just stay in this fairy tale and give him the chance for a happy, long life? Pretty please with a cherry on top?!
Your angsty heavy hitters - name them please! I love me some angst!
Oh, welcome to the fandom! I love to see more and more people discovering BL! If you are looking for a specific trope or want to watch the legendary ones that you haven't seen from the last 15+ years I'll be happy to recommend some titles to add to your "Plan to Watch" list!
'Mr. Fanboy' is very special to me because of James' spectacular execution of the role of Nine! My boy was dragged through the mud for the last 2 years for his decision of leaving a beloved pairing of NetJames and his catastrophically failed attempt to become a singer! (If you interested) It felt so horrible to watch him struggle and being mocked, ridiculed and even hated so much! (If you are curious about what went down, let me know!) Now he is back in the spotlight, praised for his talent as an actor and I hope his heart is somewhat healed by all the love that he's receiving now!
'Boy, With Caution' is a bona fide masterpiece as far as I'm concerned even if (Heaven forbid!) they manage to mess up the landing next week! This BL will stay with me for a very long time!
