This wasn't about "pregnant" women

This was about adoption; how adoptive caregivers and the children they care for will always have a stronger bond than blood ties. The school teacher was more of a "mother" than the woman who gave birth to the girl

"She should have contacted the police"

As if the more conservative asian legal system and culture wouldn't turn down the single women (or men) who want to adopt

Da Mi would look better with a girl, or on her own

Workshops would break the ice and solve the problem, as you said

Korean BL actors should rehearse their kissing scenes so that the kisses feel organic

That she established an emotional connection with the mentally unstable man was one warning sign of grooming. He would have isolated the girl from family and friends, claiming that "noone else understands you" to break down her defenses and cross her boundaries

Daigo put a stop to it before it was too late

Cherry Blossoms After Winter and Semantic Error were financed through YG and Dongyo investors. The higher production value told cohesive and entertaining stories

Did The Director Who Buys Me Dinner have that opportunity?

Park Jeong Woo wasn't a professional actor, for example. And his character was a virgin with no relationship experience

Anything more than "dead fish" kisses would have been difficult to believe

Absolutely!

Korean and Japanese BLs symbolize slow meltdowns of the glaciers of gay under-representation

They have the potential to challenge conventions, shape public perceptions and serve as stepping-stones for better representation

One day, Korean BL actors will be motivated to step up their make-out games. We will have to be patient till then

Thank you for your thoughtful and generous recommendations

I have nothing against "dead fish" kisses, please don't get me wrong

Every "dead" or "undead" display of affection designates a necessary property of healthy emotional relationships

In mature relationships, physical passion might be replaced by companionate passion, an emotional investment marked by attachment, nurturance and "dead fish" kisses

It's that physical passion and intimate kisses between two men or two women hold their own special places in my heart

Mashiro threw caution to the wind to meet with the creepy adult stalker who almost assaulted her

Too much "kindness" should be a personality disorder

"Don't hit criminals, it hurts when you hit them"

You would have been kidnapped and groomed if he didn't hit and scare the daylights out of your creepy adult stalker

Sit the fuck down, girlie

"... so these guys should stick to hetero scripts"

"Do it right or don't do it at all" would be a self-defeating and unhealthy thought pattern

Korean BL actors may fail to get into their characters for now, but it's worse never to have let them try to succeed. Failure has always been a part of learning that brings to the surface potential for growth. They should fail to learn to do (or kiss) better; fall down today to stand up tomorrow

It is their courage to continue to play gay roles in an overtly conservative country that counts

I'd rather watch intimate kisses with full tongue contact and saliva exchange between two men or two women

In spite of that, "dead fish" kisses are better than nothing

Or they will egg your houses and do a Picasso on your sleeping faces with permanent markers

Alcohol didn't affect their memory or cognitive functioning. The subordinate who was kissed had no problem with what happened when sober

Hearing that it was a "mistake" to his supervisor left him broken-hearted. The kiss meant a lot to him. And he wanted his supervisor to feel the same way

Why would I have a problem with it?

I didn't attack your character

You were allowed to share your opinion and disagree with us. The calculated avoidance of disagreement would have been less sincere than outright disagreement

Please don't delete your comments next time! :)

Their calling the drama or Korean BLs as a whole "utter crap/garbage" that they gave up on would backfire and wreak a little havoc

Engaging in healthy conflict with someone who spoils the cheerful mood of the audience would require patience, which people do not have

Their cheeks would flush, their heartbeats would race and their patience would run thin, and understandably so

Although the drama lacked the profundity and significance of the manhwa, the male leads were highly talented. And the producers did what they could with the low budget

The humor, visuals and isolated important points more than compensate for any diminution in quantity and quality

Don't be too hard on Korean BLs, okay? Who knows? The other episodes might change your mind!

Working people spend more time with supervisors, subordinates and coworkers than family members. It's not unusual for workplace romances to blossom

The two men fell in love at first sight. What do you want them to do? Resign or switch off their feelings? Because you're offended by a cheek kiss Ji Yong daydreamt about? That'd be unkind of you

Someone else did her "dirty" work for her

I can agree with you then

Due to the prevalence of school bullying, the more serious and graphic depictions of bullying instances could raise the social awareness needed to tackle the problem
