"... he insists on pursuing Yul even though Yul clearly told him that he doesn't see him as more than a younger…
He never said he can't love him back. He didn't set a firm boundary that he doesn't want to be involved with him. You're putting words in his mouth
"He'll just move on like all the people with unrequited love"
Noone wants to be rejected. The people who "move on" wish they didn't have to
Rejection is a part of reality. In fiction, it doesn't have to be. We get to transfer our consciousness from the unwritten, unpleasant world of rejection into the written, pleasant world of acceptance where love always wins
I usually prefer binge watching Korean BL shows as they are short and easy to watch. But for this one, the ending…
"... he insists on pursuing Yul even though Yul clearly told him that he doesn't see him as more than a younger brother"
It's not right to give up on someone. Love is fierce. Once it has entered the heart, it is in vain to resist. The greatest love stories were written for the hearts that did not resist or recover from such devotion. They pursued their objects of desire until their sentiments were shared
There is nothing so mortifying as to fall in love with someone whose love lies elsewhere. Did you want Do Jin (Ye Chan) to stay mortified? To break into a thousand pieces? Did you not want him to be happy?
Do Jin (Ye Chan) wore a place for himself in some corner of Do Won (Seon Yul)'s heart. Do Won (Seon Yul) almost convinced himself of the lie that Do Jin (Ye Chan) was "just a little brother." But the hands that held him, the feet that chased after him, awakened his smoldering desires. He was happy that he gave Do Jin (Ye Chan) a chance; that he did not regard it as improper and an offence against himself to be pursued
"It's really a shame because Head Villager Ma's advice about him having to let go if Yul had a boyfriend was a really good advice"
Do Won (Seon Yul) wanted to cut ties with the boyfriend who cheated on him
"Let's break up. We were over a long time ago. We just didn't want to admit it" (episode 6, 5:14)
He wasn't taken. His ex was an obstacle to overcome
"Him always entering Yul's house without being invited"
Do Won (Seon Yul)'s grandfather gave his keys to Do Jin (Ye Chan). He's allowed to come and go as he pleases
It would be a perfect BL, but since its not.. i hope it wont be wasted on a useless hetero love. Pls dont force…
Don't let the commenters get to you
A mind free of impediment is capable of grasping the issues with "straight" stories. The so-called "romance" would be tacked onto this work with little relation to the overall story, for example
I never thought I would see ´ useless hetero love ´in the same sentence.
Said the weird "straight" fetishizers
"Straight" stories fetishize women and the "straight" lifestyle, do you treat them with the same disdain? They represent the ideological meaning that the word "woman" has for men. Reinstating and displacing femininity in the form of a fetish or hyper-polished object, they do not represent women outside the phallic form. A woman is seen as a spectacle, structure, code or convention. In relation to herself, she means nothing
Narcissistic visual pleasure is derived from self-identification with the "straight" images, characters or actors. The "straight" lifestyle is elevated to unrealistic, magical heights, distorting public perceptions
"Straight" stories cannot be exempted from the charge of fetishization

Most people have no problem saying that a gay story is "forced" or "useless." Likewise, you should have no problem with someone saying that a "straight" story is "forced" or "useless"
The slow-burn romance might give off that vibe. That's part of its charm
The couple started out as "brothers." With a quick lip and a fierce tongue, with words of praise, awkward silences and desperate worships, Do Jin (Ye Chan) helped Do Won (Seon Yul) open his heart and realize that they were more; that true love has always been right in front of them
The love between Do Won (Seon Yul) and Do Jin (Ye Chan) transcends the idea of beauty
In music, its impermanence became a gathering of permanent intensity. So powerful and instinctive an emotion, like a flower, was nourished by the rain (Seon Yul) that drenched it with a soaking joy. On dry days, this love nourished itself from the ground (Ye Chan). It stayed strong and tended to its roots until the rain came back. And it did. Do Won (Seon Yul) came back, because he knows there is nowhere else he could go that would be home
The two men are one. Throughout possible separations, and despite the blind interference of external forces, they are indissoluble
Ji Hoon (Lee Chang) and Sung Gyu (Young Shin) should have made love outdoors. Their masculine bodies would have been intertwined and dripping with dew; their love for each other seen and heard
She’s so good at creating natural chemistry between her characters that people crave for romance in her dramas.
People would want so-called "romance" with or without so-called "chemistry"
Producers and actors rely heavily on their income to sustain themselves. They have no choice but to try so-called "romance," the most profitable, insipid genre, or they will have to say goodbye to stardom and their steady careers
As if that weren't horrifying enough, people put the same pressure on Kim Eun Hee who doesn't believe in their nonsense. Revenant, Jirisan, Kingdom and Signal are perfect the way they are. Leave them alone
"Nobody starts as a somebody. He's an ugly duckling that will grow into a beautiful swan. He will become a somebody" "Right now, he's just ugly ..." "You still like him. Teach him well" (episode 2, 54:11)
Jin Hyuk (Seung Jo) was cold, distant, and unable to form close, interpersonal relationships. But not for long. He found himself carefully studying Myung Soo (Ho Woo). He saw the world from the other's point of view, and it looked unbearably lonely. He hated that Myung Soo (Ho Woo)'s dignity was assaulted, vandalized and mocked by those who ignored him or called him a pushover. His feelings were marked by a kind of particularity and concern for Myung Soo (Ho Woo)'s well-being. That is to say, Myung Soo (Ho Woo) was regarded as important and non-substitutable for him at first sight
Jin Hyuk (Seung Jo) identifies with the other's interests. He is invested in the flourishing of the first man who challenged him, as circumstances make it possible and appropriate for him to be
They are never not thinking of each other. More trust will (and should) materialize between them
"I want to meet someone, get married and have two children"
Or you could adopt as a single parent? You want hearing-impaired children who will be at a higher risk of social isolation and depression than their normally hearing peers? You experienced anger and frustration at the effort it takes to communicate, and wanted more people to experience that. Hearing-impaired orphans will do the trick
What's that? You can't afford adoption? Then you can't cover the cost of food and clothing, as well as medical, dental and counseling services for your hypothetical birth children. That's a reason not to have children. Set more achievable goals, please
