You call the writing of the show "lazy" and your mocking "creative", but nonsensical mocking that can be disputed easily is what most people would call lazy" itself. :/ People might agree with your points more if they were not just "creative" but ALSO made more sense. I appreciate creative and smart ways of pointing out flaws of a show, I also love doing it myself, but like I said, if one of these is missing, then people will mostly just shake their heads at what you're saying. Moreover, you do not mention one rational argument against any of the rationalizations that Youtoon made in answer to your arguments. Instead of insulting others ("your own low standards"), you would be more convincing if you actually addressed what they said rationally.
He stayed there 2 days under the sun without food, water (he drank a bit the filthy fountain water) and stayed…
Now, let's address your other questions (which to some extent seem just as ridiculous and thoughtless to me than the scene in the drama itself). While I agree that this scene was unnecessarily dramatic and very drawn-out, I also get that it was used as a vehicle to showcase how much Suyu cares for Wubi and what he would endure for him. Which of course also could've been shown differently.
Now, to your questions: Why didn't he stand or lay down on the grass in the shade? --> I give you that one. I believe at the beginning (the first few hours at least) he still believed the uncle would be with him shortly, but as it became obvious that that was not the case, he could've tried (who knows whether the guards would not have reprimanded him for being on the grass) waiting in the shade instead.
Why didn't he strip down and take a swim in the circular water feature to cool off? --> I'm sure you are also aware that for one that fountain is not deep enough "to take a swim" and for another the guard already pushed him into the fountain for just taking a sip of water from it... do you seriously believe they would have accepted him "stripping down" and swimming in their precious boss' fountain? The same goes for the more toned down version of your question. I bet the guards would not have let him use water from the fountain to cool off.
Either way I feel that the sun had the least negative effect on him during these two days... it merely might've worsened the symptoms he got from the other things.
Why didn't he order a pizza with some beverages to be delivered? --> Is that a serious question? 1) Because he doesn't have a lot of money, so he cannot afford western food like pizza. 2) I've never seen him getting delivery before. Why would he have the number of some place that delivers saved in his phone? They usually buy groceries and cook or get food from a snack stall or cheap restaurant. As it is 2007, he couldn't have used the internet to find one. 3) At the beginning of the first night, his phone died so he couldn't have used it for anything after that anyway. 4) Most importantly: How would he get the food? He is not allowed to leave the grounds and the delivery person would not be allowed to enter them... There is not even a zone inbetween where the exchange could take place, because the entrance is blocked by five or six guards.
Why didn't he call his dad to bring him some food, drinks and an umbrella? --> Are you watching the same show as the rest of us? Suyu obviously does not want to worry his family (which is also why he lied to Mrs. Zhou and one reason why he lied to Wubi on the phone). Not to mention the fact that the uncle most definitely would not have let his father enter his grounds if he did not even allow Suyu to leave and come back... You mentioned before that he lied to Wubi for "no reason"... well 1) Like I said before: he did not want to worry Wubi. He knows how much Wubi cares for him and how overprotective he gets. 2) He probably didn't want to tell Wubi about the investigation before he actually got some results (And not any kind of result but a result which would mend Wubi's and his father's relationship in some way and give Wubi some peace of mind). Him suddenly revealing where he was and how he was being treated would have been very much out of character and would not have aligned with his actions beforehand. He even made sure that Dou Dou would not be staying with them and he actively send Wubi away so he wouldn't notice him leaving. Wubi only spend some time with his friends because Suyu gave him the idea...
I feel that ridiculing a show or scenes works better if you are not being more ridiculous than the show itself and actually think of logical scenarios that would've actually worked instead....
He stayed there 2 days under the sun without food, water (he drank a bit the filthy fountain water) and stayed…
For one, he wasn't even in a coma. Mrs. Zhou said to Wubi that Suyu "just fell asleep", meaning he was in a bad state but in no way unconscious. He might've fainted momentarily (we don't know) and he most definitely had a fever due to lack of sleep, getting wet and staying wet in the cold at night, lack of food and mostly lack of water (as well as a lot of stress because of Wubi's reaction and Suyu's believe that all he did had been for nothing), which is why they brought him to the hospital. Furthermore, he probably suffered from a mild case of food poisoning or something similar which he got from drinking the water from the fountain out of desperation. If you'd watched carefully, you would've noticed him throwing up food he ate more than once. In China you shouldn't even drink tap water because it might be contaminated, not to mention dirty water from a fountain. I noticed that in most Asian dramas I've watched, people usually go to the hospital instead of to a general physician if someone has a fever or something similar so that might just be the norm or more convenient in these countries, who knows. (Or it might just be a feature to make it seem more dramatic. In any case, this is not specific to BLs but to many dramas in general) The fact that he was not in fact "in a coma" or had something severe, would mean that him staying at the hospital for more than a night or day, would've made less sense than him just staying there to be observed for a night and probably getting an infusion/a drip to get some nourishment... You accuse the drama of being nonsensical or too dramatic regarding this point but you yourself embellish some parts of what happened and downplay other things to your liking.
I'm on episode 6 and I'm really frustrated because Kim Ga On keeps suspecting the judge just based on not even really his own but other people's assumptions (1. the nanny's assumption that he MIGHT've have been responsible for his brother's death 2. the niece's assumption 3. Soo Hyun's assumption). And suspecting someone is fine, of course. In the case of the judge it's even understandable. But he always readily believes everyone immediately - even that vile woman who is obviously the actual head of the foundation and who he has no ties with and no reason to trust - without even a smidge of proof and then attacks Yo Han because of it... I keep yelling at the screen for him to be more rational and actually think things over and maybe investigate matters or even just think logically...For example: the attack on Soo Hyun was much too sloppy and nonsensical. Why would Yo Han hit her over the head and then just leave right after without even making sure she's dead? (Apart from the fact that killing in cold blood has not been his style as of now) What would be the point? Why would that stop her from revealing everything? Yo Han is smart enough to know that that would not deter her. It would even make her more determined. Ga On should be aware that Yo Han is smarter than that and his methods much more refined... I haven't watched till the end of the episode yet but for me there is only one logical explanation. The only person or rather people with a motive would be the woman from the foundation and the minister of justice. They want to take Yo Han down and what better way to do it than by dividing him and Ga On first. It's frustrating but at the same time I'm aware that Ga On knows less than us viewers but I still think that even with his limited point of view he should be aware by now that there are obviously people who are trying to take Yo Han down. I'm even more frustrated because at times he seems to understand Yo Han's motives and question people's accusations but then suddenly he seems to forget all of that again... After all of this rambling it feels hypocritical to say but I don't know whether I wouldn't be acting just like Ga On in this situation, though... it's really difficult to know who to believe and trust...especially since Yo Han has already done some cruel, extremely manipulative (and borderline crazy) things, which Ga On has witnessed...everything else he has to trust Yo Han's and other people's words on...
I like the way the main characters' relationship is growing step by step - it feels realistic and mature. I also…
I'd like to apologize in advance for the following rant about Inami - I also like that they show Inami-san as a human being and not simply a villain. However, I believe that calling what he did making a mistake out of love is taking it much too lightly. He said that he didn't care what would happen to him which makes it sound like he was sacrificing himself for love but that is only one half of the truth. While he of course was taking a risk and (possibly) putting his career on the line, he was mainly sacrificing innocent girls/women! If he was being honest with himself/Onoe, he should have said "I didn't care what happened to THEM." He does not even show an ounce of remorse, neither when talking to the actress (His cold statement "It's the path you chose" shows his callousness... if he was doing it out of desperation but at least felt sorry for what he's doing, he would/could have handled that situation differently) nor when talking to Onoe or Kaburagi. What he takes from the situation is that you should tell the person you love that you love them - which of course is a very valuable lesson - but he seems to not even spare a thought for all of the people who were r*ped because of him. Yes, showing his backstory/motivation makes him seem human, but it still makes him seem like a shitty, inherently very selfish one. But of course, this show is not about him and therefore only shows us a glimpse of his personality and his life, so there might be more to the story and more feelings (of remorse) that he hasn't revealed in front of Onoe. [end rant]
I am very confused by your comment and wondering whether we watched the same episode 5 or not. :D I just watched…
Aah, now it all makes sense! For a moment there I had the teeny tiny hope that viki might have pre-released an episode again on accident and I could already watch episode 6. But yes, I loved that last scene!! The way Kaburagi was so relieved when it turned out Onoe doesn't like Inami but likes him after all!
Coming back from episode 5, honestly I can't see how the acting is that terrible because those two are finally…
I am very confused by your comment and wondering whether we watched the same episode 5 or not. :D I just watched it and I neither saw Inami Kei threatening Kaburagi nor a kiss scene between the main couple. For me the episode ended with their hug. Or are you referring to the preview of episode 6?
They do show her wondering about him being able to play/being great at basketball and being able to run etc. but…
Oh, that sounds interesting! :D I definitely agree with all of your points. And someone like Lin Xi, at least the way she is usually portrayed, would be expected to have informed herself about anything to do with the heart transplant, so it does seem like a bit of an oversight of the writers to not at least have her wonder about it.
I'm four or five episodes in, and I like the cast quite a lot. Struggling a bit with the story/plot, though. If…
They do show her wondering about him being able to play/being great at basketball and being able to run etc. but you have to consider her situation: she is euphoric at having found the recipient of her brother's heart so I think even if she did notice some inconsistencies, she probably doesn't even want to consider that it might not be true after all. And strong emotions do cloud people's judgements, even if they are supposed to be smart. And regarding the bathroom incident: For one, she only opened the bathroom door for a split second before realizing that he was in there, half naked, then she immediately turned her head away and closed the door again. For another, he immediately tried to cover up his chest with a towel, so I think she might not have seen anything (clearly) + she was probably too embarrassed to remember any details
I'm kinda disappointed with the ending :/Also, what's with this bullshit:Chanmi : Leave Jaebeom body.-Mmm, yeah…
Jaebom or rather his alter ego who comes out whenever Jaebom needs to be protected killed Wonseok because after he fell off the roof and had amnesia, Gisung kept telling the alter ego that it was Wonseok who pushed Jaebom off the building. So he gaslit him until the alter ego (I can't remember his name) believed him and got so angry and aggressive that he pushed Wonseok as revenge for him pushing Jaebom.
In any case, this - and the changes in Kinn's character and actions - lead to him accepting Kinn's actions (e.g.…
I have a lot more to say about the way Porsche reacted and feels but it's quite late and no one is probably going to read this rant anyway, so I'll just stop here. :D Just had to get this off my chest! This show is giving me so many feels! <3
In any case, this - and the changes in Kinn's character and actions - lead to him accepting Kinn's actions (e.g.…
Now, I do believe that the show implied that Kinn felt some regret/felt sorry because of what he did... I have to applaud the producers/script writers and Mile's and Apo's acting for the morning after scene. I thought it was extremely well done! For one, Kinn neither simply left Porsche there nor was he still laying beside him in the bed. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, with his back to Porsche, not touching him. This, coupled with his expression and the way he paused before answering Porsche's question, leads me to believe that he knew that he made a mistake and felt some regret. But due to his upbringing and his position as well as his personality and conflicting emotions I already described, it was difficult for him to say so and act accordingly. (The only thing I didn't like about this scene was him saying "I stopped them before they could do anything to you.") The same goes for the scene where he tells Porsche (not for the first time...) that he basically owns him and can do whatever he wants with him. It is his way of putting his defenses back up and denying any kind of feelings he has. I don't think the Kinn in the show would do anything like that, though... or at least I would like to believe so. I also believe that he would not have actually gone through with sleeping with Porsche if the latter had shown some sign of not wanting it or being in pain like the Porsche in the novel did (again: not excusing the lack of consent due to the drugs!). But I guess we'll never know...
In any case, this - and the changes in Kinn's character and actions - lead to him accepting Kinn's actions (e.g.…
I've also been seeing comments which said that Kinn did not feel sorry about what he has done and that he shouldn't have punished Porsche afterwards. I agree with the latter but I understand his actions, but I disagree with the former.
I feel like this Kinn is more insecure, cautious but also empathic than the one in the novel. This can be seen in scenes like the one during the auction where Tae tells him to smile at Porsche and he does so awkwardly or the scene in the sauna where he seems to psyche himself up before asking Porsche "casually" whether he has a girlfriend. He is also quite scared of getting hurt again. Since the first novel ended before I could get to the backstory, I do not exactly know what happened before, but from what the show is implying, he was probably stabbed in the back by his last actual boyfriend whom he probably loved so much that his judgement was clouded. This would be a traumatic experience for anyone but it is especially grave for someone in his position. Therefore, he seems to have closed himself off not only to protect his own heart but also his life and the lives of the people close to him. It is also necessary to retain his position. It must be extremely difficult and conflicting for him to let down his defenses around Porsche and to allow himself to develop feelings for him. But he does have them and is also empathetic towards Porsche after that night, otherwise he would not have told him to take 1-2 days off and spent the whole day with him instead of doing his work. If it was only up to him Porsche would not have been punished at all. He even told his father that it was not Porsche's fault, in fact he even implied that he himself was at fault for recruiting Porsche and subjecting him to this lifestyle. But as his father said, as a mafia boss you cannot only act according to your feelings. Kinn has repeatedly been giving Porsche special treatment (even if Porsche does not realize that) which is quite problematic and it even put Porsche himself in danger. His harsh punishment and also the way he always acts so hot and cold towards Porsche (which of course confuses him) is a direct result of these conflicting feelings.
So, I have a lot of thoughts about the sx/sa scene, everything that lead up to it and how the characters dealt…
In any case, this - and the changes in Kinn's character and actions - lead to him accepting Kinn's actions (e.g. cleaning his wound) more amicably. Moreover, he even already shows that he as well cares more for Kinn than he at this point wants to. This can be seen, e.g., when he asks Kinn whether he would have even taken him back as a bodyguard had Thankun not decided (as Kinn wants him to believe) that he didn't want him anymore. It shows that he is hurt by Kinn's apparent indifference.
3) Kinn and Porsche have been having actual conversations with each other - not about the weather or anything trivial - but about their families and things that shaped them as a person. They have actually been opening up to each other! During one of these conversations Kinn - like a teenager with a crush - even asked Porsche in a roundabout way whether he was taken. If this was just sexual attraction, I don't believe he would have cared.
4) Porsche is not homophobic in the show, according to Apo he is not even straight but either bi or pan (he does not care about gender). This changes their whole dynamic and also the way Porsche reacts to Kinn's advances (if you can even call them that at this time). While he was also intoxicated when Kinn kissed him for the first time (He seriously needs to stop doing that...), Porsche was well aware of it at that moment and even parted his lips before Kinn started kissing him. When he remembered it was Kinn who had kissed him, he did not feel disgusted or even really conflicted about it, he was more concerned with the question of what the kiss meant (for Kinn?).
All of this leads me to believe that when the sx/sa scene happened, it wasn't just a result of mere sexual attraction but of actual feelings and also their previous denial of those feelings.
So, I have a lot of thoughts about the sx/sa scene, everything that lead up to it and how the characters dealt with it. I read the first novel (official English translation) yesterday and I've got to say I am so glad about the changes they made regarding Kinn and Porsche's characters as well as their relationship.
First of all, let me say that I do believe that Kinn should not have slept with Porsche while he was drugged and that it could not have been entirely consensual. I am not trying to excuse his actions.
Now, let me try to structure my chaotic thoughts: I have read some comments saying that Kinn (and Porsche) only feel sexual attraction towards each other as of right now. I do believe this to be the case at this point in the novel, but due to all the scenes that were added in the show as well as the character's actions and facial expressions, I don't think this holds true in the world of the series. In the novel Kinn and Porsche's encounters and their relationship up to this point have mainly been characterized by animosity. Both of them have been behaving like a...holes towards the other, so any actual attempt at a conversation between them has been impossible. Porsche still seems to hate Kinn when the first kiss and shortly afterwards the sa scene happen. The fact that Porsche does seem to be slightly homophobic in the novel (he claims otherwise but his thoughts and actions imply that he is) and that Kinn enjoys flirting with him in a very hands on manner are not helping the matter.
In the show, however, I believe both Kinn (and Porsche) have are already started developing feelings for each other. (Mind you, both are trying to deny their feelings for different reasons, but I'll get back to that later.)
1) Kinn, maybe because he is older and therefore a little more mature, is a little less impulsive in the show and we as viewers already realize that he cares for Porsche more than he should early on. This leads to him saving Porsche after he was being stupid (even though his act of saving was quite brutal), sending him outside when he realized that Porsche could not deal with seeing Mes being tortured, pushing him out of the way when he was about to be shot - even actively putting himself in harm's way by doing so - and gently taking care of Porsche's wound after he was shot, among other things. While he also tries to take care of his wound in the novel, the scene itself is much less romantic because - as I said before - Porsche hates Kinn too much to be civil towards him and Kinn is too impulsive to deal with it. Showing Kinn sending away his boy toy before anything could happen because he was too worried about Porsche was another nice touch by the script writers.
2) Porsche on the other hand is a little less selfish in the show and there is more backstory to his character. This makes him more likable in my opinion and I feel like Kinn thinks so too. There is also less animosity. I think Porsche is a little harder to read than Kinn so I cannot quite pinpoint when he starts to lose his animosity towards Kinn and maybe even starts liking (?) him in a away. Maybe it starts when Pete tells him that Kinn saved him from being killed by Macau's father/the minor family.
Moreover, you do not mention one rational argument against any of the rationalizations that Youtoon made in answer to your arguments. Instead of insulting others ("your own low standards"), you would be more convincing if you actually addressed what they said rationally.
Now, to your questions:
Why didn't he stand or lay down on the grass in the shade? --> I give you that one. I believe at the beginning (the first few hours at least) he still believed the uncle would be with him shortly, but as it became obvious that that was not the case, he could've tried (who knows whether the guards would not have reprimanded him for being on the grass) waiting in the shade instead.

The same goes for the more toned down version of your question. I bet the guards would not have let him use water from the fountain to cool off.
Either way I feel that the sun had the least negative effect on him during these two days... it merely might've worsened the symptoms he got from the other things.
Why didn't he order a pizza with some beverages to be delivered? --> Is that a serious question? 1) Because he doesn't have a lot of money, so he cannot afford western food like pizza. 2) I've never seen him getting delivery before. Why would he have the number of some place that delivers saved in his phone? They usually buy groceries and cook or get food from a snack stall or cheap restaurant. As it is 2007, he couldn't have used the internet to find one. 3) At the beginning of the first night, his phone died so he couldn't have used it for anything after that anyway. 4) Most importantly: How would he get the food?

There is not even a zone inbetween where the exchange could take place, because the entrance is blocked by five or six guards.
Why didn't he call his dad to bring him some food, drinks and an umbrella? --> Are you watching the same show as the rest of us? Suyu obviously does not want to worry his family (which is also why he lied to Mrs. Zhou and one reason why he lied to Wubi on the phone). Not to mention the fact that the uncle most definitely would not have let his father enter his grounds if he did not even allow Suyu to leave and come back...
You mentioned before that he lied to Wubi for "no reason"... well
1) Like I said before: he did not want to worry Wubi. He knows how much Wubi cares for him and how overprotective he gets.
2) He probably didn't want to tell Wubi about the investigation before he actually got some results (And not any kind of result but a result which would mend Wubi's and his father's relationship in some way and give Wubi some peace of mind).
Him suddenly revealing where he was and how he was being treated would have been very much out of character and would not have aligned with his actions beforehand. He even made sure that Dou Dou would not be staying with them and he actively send Wubi away so he wouldn't notice him leaving. Wubi only spend some time with his friends because Suyu gave him the idea...

This leads to him saving Porsche after he was being stupid (even though his act of saving was quite brutal), sending him outside when he realized that Porsche could not deal with seeing Mes being tortured, pushing him out of the way when he was about to be shot - even actively putting himself in harm's way by doing so - and gently taking care of Porsche's wound after he was shot, among other things. While he also tries to take care of his wound in the novel, the scene itself is much less romantic because - as I said before - Porsche hates Kinn too much to be civil towards him and Kinn is too impulsive to deal with it. Showing Kinn sending away his boy toy before anything could happen because he was too worried about Porsche was another nice touch by the script writers.
2) Porsche on the other hand is a little less selfish in the show and there is more backstory to his character. This makes him more likable in my opinion and I feel like Kinn thinks so too. There is also less animosity. I think Porsche is a little harder to read than Kinn so I cannot quite pinpoint when he starts to lose his animosity towards Kinn and maybe even starts liking (?) him in a away. Maybe it starts when Pete tells him that Kinn saved him from being killed by Macau's father/the minor family.
