Any individual capable of bearing children is a woman. A few of them might use artificial hormones to increase facial hair and appear more masculine, but they remain women

It's a fact that men can't get pregnant. Things like omegaverse are an invention of the gender identity ideology that not everyone subscribes to. They'd disagree that "trans men are men"

To the best of my knowledge, the original Yi Heon, who was bullied for his sexuality, had feelings for Se Kyung. After the incident, a new soul took over Yi Heon's body, and Se Kyung fell for this new, more mature version of Yi Heon

Ratings are misleading. The 8.6 MDL rating for this drama is inflated due to the presence of exaggerated 10/10 ratings. Most dramas have flaws or areas for improvement, and are unlikely to warrant a perfect 10/10 rating

I'm happy to have helped

The hate comments were present on this page well before the drama aired

If you don't want to be called homophobic, treat others with respect and refrain from using "twink" as an insult when referring to them: https://imgur.com/6T573ec

It's not pedophilia. And he's not "still 47." That was a measure of his past earthly life. Deuk Pal has passed on. His soul carries on and retains the memories of the past life, but isn't bound to time or space as we know it in the human realm

Your point about the futility of engaging in direct discussion with ff29 is valid, my intention was to present an alternative perspective for the benefit of anyone else who might be following the comments section

@ff29 is wrong. "Pedophilia" is attraction to pre-pubescent children, the relationship in the web novel involved a post-pubescent teenager. It wasn't pedophilia

Wait until you find out that the web novel didn't have pedophilia

Fake activism at its finest and you’re not even trying to hide that

Yet another homophobe whose lack of manners and education is exceeded by their ignorance of what pedophilia is

Why did you bring up their mom's basement? Did you lose something down there? Are you the basement-dwelling expert?

You're spreading misinformation. "Pedophilia" is attraction to pre-pubescent children, the relationship in question involved a post-pubescent teenager. We can discuss the potential moral issues of the relationship without resorting to misleading language

There's definitely a middle ground to be found here. I agree that progress doesn't happen overnight. Different cultures move at their own pace. At the same time, people should speak out and push for change. Every movement begins with individual voices, and small actions, like commenting on a low-budget drama, can contribute to social change over time

People can support a cause by keeping the conversation going and raising awareness. Not every passionate person has to be a billionaire philanthropist or a grassroots organizer to make a difference

I might take your advice and start handing out pamphlets door-to-door, though. I've been known to scribble my views on walls or bathroom stalls, this would be a step up from that. Who knows, I might throw in free t-shirts and stickers for good measure

The audience called the source material problematic (not that I agree). If the source material is problematic, as the audience believes, the company profiting from it without addressing the underlying problems is a morally questionable act

Also, the company stripped away the BL elements and reduced the relationship between the male characters to "just friendship." It's a homophobic bias on their part to pander to a wider, more homophobic audience that sees gay relationships themselves as "problematic." Their decision gives legitimacy to the prejudiced beliefs of their audience, and signals to other companies that pandering to homophobia is "okay, it's profitable"

We can't say for certain whether the producers/production team are/is homophobic, but we're certain that the decision to remove the BL elements was motivated by profit and not a genuine concern for the so-called "problematic" age gap: https://m.hankookilbo.com/News/Read/A2024022007010001273

"The BL genre faces limitations in terms of production costs, investment, and financial returns. So, we aimed to explore the concept of the project as a bromance"

"The team initially found the premise of the webtoon interesting and attempted to adapt it into a bromance. However, they ultimately changed course due to the ongoing challenge of ensuring commercial success"

If someone is denouncing or criticizing a source material as problematic, then turns around and profits from it, it's pretty two-faced
