🇰🇷 My appetite has increased!🧑🏻💻 You know, ever since Korea entered the BL game in 2020 I just…
"I might have to carefully pick my next Korean dish"
There is no love sincerer than the love of gay meals. All sorrows are less with them. When the preferable (the gay) is not available, the available (the gay-ish, straight-as-a-circle) becomes preferable
In reality, zombies don't exist to be "contained." In fiction, zombies are everywhere. They are shambling hordes…
Humans and zombies alike are contaminated by hunger, which the zombies carry to its conclusion. That's the message zombie stories send us, intentionally or unintentionally
Deserted metropolitan streets have the power to shock a population jaded to traditional zombies. Are you the opposite?
May I recommend Kingdom and Rampant? They take place in a medieval-inspired Korea
another one of these? why can't they try something original. zombie apocalypse in modern settings with civilian…
In reality, zombies don't exist to be "contained." In fiction, zombies are everywhere. They are shambling hordes moving in the pace of the post-industrial society. Zombie stories spread like a transmittable synecdoche; a pandemic of epic proportions. No police or military can contain the corpses endowed by sorcery with a mechanical semblance of human hunger
Their roots come from the recognition of the human in the monster and the monster in the human. The humans wonder which way the outbreak travels, from the ground up or the other way around? And who infects whom? The implication is that the "sins" of humanity, their greed, gluttony and envy, have driven them and their corpses to an eternal unrest
"People in their right mind, no matter how much they suffered, wouldn't blame other people"
You only blame the "criminals." Are you in your right mind, Ms. Officer?
Childhood maltreatment is strongly associated with mental health disorders, delinquency and "criminal" behaviors. You would be out of your mind not to blame their toxic families for how they turned out
"[X] and [Y] didn't turn out that way"
Not everyone responds to maltreatment the same way, Mr. Officer
Imagine Ji Chang Wook coupling up with Shin Hyun Soo, Park Seo Joon, Kim Seok Woo (Rowoon), Ok Taecyeon, Woo Do Hwan, Joo Ji Hoon, Kim Sung Gyu, Kim Dong Wook, Kim Jae Wook or Go Soo in a thriller

"Literature"
Bingo! As an English literature and translation major, I've read so many masterly pieces of philosophical disputations and literary works that I developed comprehensive written and spoken communication skills
I couldn't possibly be better than an English professor, though!
In regard to the kiss scenes (or lack thereof) in this drama, I want to defend the actors about it. In an interview,…
"... it feels more like a k-drama than a bl"
What's the difference? Nudity? BLs are more a sensibility than a genre. Marked by a stylistic, tonal element that articulates the experiences of gay couples, their sexual themes are justifiable on aesthetic grounds
Korean BL dramas, the collision of old (Korean dramas) and new (BLs), are hybridized products distinct, but familiar to Korean audiences. They achieve more visibility when palatable and conducive to the logics of the chaste Asian culture
A Korean BL drama infused with chastity and long-running episodic seasons would be a BL adapted to fit local circumstances, satisfying audiences in its conformity to Asian expectations and subversion of anti-gay ideologies
I regard, therefore, as inconsistent and misleading the line drawn between "Korean drama" and "BL," don't you agree?
after episode 3 i am kind of on the side of aliens 🙂
People: send us home! Commander: your loved ones won't be home. A nationwide evacuation order has been issued- People: send us home!! Commander: the area is crawling with aliens, how do you expect to go home- People: send us home!!!
I'm rooting for the aliens. Send people to hell- I mean home, pretty please 😇
There's a difference between no kissing and ruining the development of the story line with no kissing, because…
"I take issue with humanity's inability, in general, to deal with a natural part of our existence"
Naturalistic fallacy
It's not legitimate to draw a moral conclusion of a prescriptive nature from factual premises only, insofar as these statements are of a different nature
The careless passing from "is" (it's natural or unnatural) to "ought" (it ought to be done) gnaws at me. Though sexuality is natural, it's not "moral" or "immoral" to be a prude shocked by matters relating to sexuality or nudity. Even if it were, wouldn't it be more immoral for you to be inconsiderate of the feelings of the prudish people uncomfortable with NSFW content?
"... sexuality and physical intimacy no matter the orientation"
NSFW "straight" content is everywhere, much to my dismay. Even thriller Korean dramas, Connect and The Glory, profited from them. It's NSFW gay content that society shies away from. No equivalence can be drawn between the two
Allow me to lay my cards on the table; it's NSFW "straight" content I discard as useless and unwanted. Not NSFW gay content
"I get there are people who feel they are owed, the people that are into fan service, most likely. I hate fan service, it's so exploitative"
Fanservice is a smart marketing strategy. People want to see their favorite celebrities together. The celebrities agree to act like they are together to excite or titillate their fans. They earn money. And our ships sail. It's a win-win, and not any more "exploitative" than acting as a whole

It may not have been a french kiss, but it was a kiss in its own right
Gongchan: "Seowon helped me forget how cold today was"
Seowon: "After the kiss scene, I connected more deeply with Gongchan. I was happy"
They kissed and solidified their relationship in the eyes of the BL gods. That's chemistry right there
You can even see him in the Duty After School guest roles
Commander: your loved ones won't be home. A nationwide evacuation order has been issued-
People: send us home!!
Commander: the area is crawling with aliens, how do you expect to go home-
People: send us home!!!

Girl, are you from a corn field? Because he's an adult. An adult would rather harvest you and sell you to someone else
