Synchonicity

I think Liz knows more about it than I do, but apparently there were big behind-the-scenes problems between Ae's manager (who also manages Can, Kengkla and Techno -- I'm using character names here) Pete's manager, and the director. As a result, the director was very upset, does not want to work with them anymore and does not want to direct a Season 2.

Yes, the teacher! Lol.

I started watching this earlier in the week and am now all caught up. It's different, but I like it! P'Dream confuses me but it will probably all make sense in the end.

+kittyflumpin I agree with you completely. It seems that the fans that stand by rating LBC a 10 are the ones who didn't like TinCan as a couple, so they don't really care about their ending. Still, based on the last episode, the other couples (besides AePete) and a few plot holes earlier in the season, LBC was not as well written as it could have been.

That's so great! Let's hope the rest of the world catches up soon.

Thank you! :)

I've never been all that invested in Korn and Knock as a couple, for many of the reasons you've stated. I watched Bad Romance after TWM and, for me, it was kind of... a trainwreck. (I realize it was produced before TWM, so maybe that had something to do with it.)

But I also accept that there can be a lot of personal growth when one is in his/her twenties. Maybe Knock is growing up. Of course, it's all in the interpretation.

I'll say one thing for this series: for better or worse, it's got us thinking about the subject matter.

Agreed.

I don't agree with you regarding the poor writing and directing, but if I came across as condescending, then I apologize.

I think it's a very well written drama... it just happens to include a lot of cheating this time around. Lots of series bring infidelity into the plot, it's nothing new. Sure, people have a right to their opinions and if fans choose to stop watching this season, that's their preference. I'm intrigued to see where the story goes from here.

And... you know very well that my beef with LBC and TinCan is that we were left hanging with the ending (especially not knowing what happened with Tin), while we got some sort of closure with the other couples.

True. And then he kept his relationship going with his girlfriend, while still sleeping with Korn. Bottom line: Knock has been a cheater, too. He hasn't been innocent himself.

You are awesome, thank you!

I love it.

Knock cheated on Korn before, and Korn stood by him.

I totally see what you mean. But there's something you may not be considering...

Knock loves Korn. How do we know that just walking away from Korn won't destroy Knock, in the long run? When you're really in love with "the one," it's not that easy to just walk away and say "okay, see ya."

I mean, it just happened one night ago. It would be more clear cut if Korn was some player who went around cheating anytime he got horny, with no remorse, but that was not the case here. Korn made a huge mistake, yes. He knew it right away, you could see how torn up he was over it. Even after he heard Cho's advice, telling him to keep it a secret, Korn was just about to confess to Knock... when WanWan interrupted and beat him to the punch. And then, when Korn's father shows up right at that time, Korn confesses to his dad about his relationship with Knock. Did you see his dad's reaction? He almost had a heart attack. This was powerful stuff, and it all happened in a matter of minutes.

Should Knock have just instantly forgiven Korn? Hell, no. I totally understood Knock when he told Korn, "All I see is pictures of you with Pete." I've been there myself, I'll bet a lot of us have (it's a horrible feeling). Knock needs time to sort out this whole thing... any of us would.

We also need to remember that Knock was the cheater before and the one begging Korn not to leave him. Korn stood by him.

Because this is a fictional drama, Korn and Knock probably will get together in the end. But let's pretend for a minute that this was real life... Korn is so remorseful that I think we can be pretty sure it was a one-time occurrence. There's no reason to think he's going to start whoring around any time there's a problem. Knock is understandably devastated and needs time to sort out his own feelings about Korn. It's just not that clear cut.

Why is everyone getting so upset with the writers? It's a fictional drama. The actors are pouring their hearts into their work. Can't we just appreciate that?

This is not a cute little rom-com, it's a drama. People act like they've never seen one before.

I mean... seriously.

Lol I like you!

My Korean friend has not gone back to Korea, thank you for asking. (He and I dated for a few years, and now we're still good friends.)

I am friends with another gay couple in New York (I lived there for a long time), they are legally and happily married. One is Japanese and his family doesn't know (he hasn't even come out to them). When his parents visit from Japan every three years or so, his husband stays with friends for the two/three weeks the parents are in town. To me that's crazy, but some gay people will go to extremes to stay in the closet to their family. I hope someday that will be a thing of the past.

I'm just curious: a lot of fans are upset with the writers for making Korn a cheater. Is this story based on a novel, like a lot of BLs are? (If so, that could explain the story.)

Thank you!

Does anyone know which day of the week the series is aired?
