Korean men invest in their bodies through routines of hair removal and care. The bearded Korean man was supplanted by the preference for a clean-shaven, smooth-faced, feminine-friendly model of masculinity; with the lack of hair suggesting a more modest, elegant gentleman

Men govern women's "choices" about whether to style or shave their hair. Why wouldn't women turn the tables?

What gravity does the massive carpet-length of Western mustaches and beards give to men? Other than putting a brave face on threatened masculinity?

The beardless man was/is lampooned as an immature "boy" or unsuitable match for relationships. We want people to modify that behavior; to understand that facial and body hair do not constitute or reflect masculine identity

A man who removed his hair isn't less of a man. He's a man whose body changed from the moist constitution of youth to the cold and dry constitution of adulthood

He's a man whose masculinity is not performative. It's embodied and intrinsic; the shape, form and structure of his body all carrying and conveying the meaning. Hair is not necessary, nor is it pedophilic to want it removed

TL;DR I'm not a fan of beards and mustaches

It'd have been more awkward to film the scenes with a stranger lmaooo

They can't leave Geon Hee (Thomas) out of season 2

Go Soo (Kim Wook), Geon Hee (Thomas) and Joon Ho (Pan Seok)'s memories feel like home. Whenever their minds wander, they find their ways back to each other

"Your smile and laughter lit my world. In far-flung corners, I will find you. And I will love you like Iced Americano, like you're drunk on my love," Go Soo (Kim Wook) murmurs into Geon Hee (Thomas)'s hair

Geon Hee (Thomas) meets Go Soo (Kim Wook)'s eyes, cupping his face in his hands

"I will wait for you"

A confession in season 1 and a reunion in season 2, such would be my idea of a happy ending

My stray cat says no

"And once again unnecessary ecchi stuff as fan service to get more attention"

Well said, the cheap display of nudity, fornication and so-called "romance" elicited positive responses from consumers. Season 1 and 2 wouldn't have been overhyped without them

Hye Kyo failed to get her hands "dirty" and embody the highest values of revenge; to march, or dance to a different drumbeat, the cadence of an iconoclastic, confrontational sensibility that ignites the flame of rebellion in like-minded, unforgiving retributionists such as myself

Her relation to society wasn't antagonistic. She was weak and emotionally fragile; serving causes lesser than revenge and retreating into a state of attachment to passive, "gendered" norms

A "heroine" so easily lost in men (Do Hyun) becomes an absent-minded, untimely heroine. NSFW scenes were shoehorned into the two seasons to bury this failure in the sand

I won't dignify The Glory with a rating. It was a 0 out of 10 from me

"They are retarded"

In this jumble of unintelligible talk, the R slur leaps out with clarity

What could you be revealing about yourselves to the people diagnosed with intellectual disability? That your vocabulary was limited to disparaging slights that deprecate them?

You're bitching about the people who bitch about age-gaps. The pot calls the kettle black, projecting its own biases onto the other

Everyone has biases. Society was characterized by this lack of perspective

And if we were to identify a single problematic aspect of society, your bias against age preferences would be among the candidates for consideration

Not on the surface. The producers intended to replace closure with conflict, romance with adventure. The conflict between the will to deny and the will to proclaim the past culminated in a journey of self-enrichment for the characters

But great stories are inexhaustible, capable of endless, unintended interpretations

Beyond the vast bricked labyrinth of conflict, we see a tender, romantic curiosity between the men. Go Soo (Kim Wook), Geon Hee (Thomas), Ha Joon (Joon Ho), You Kang (Nam Gook), Joon Ho (Pan Seok), Dae Han (Il Doo), Seok Cheon (Mr. Hong) and Nak Kyun (Myung Chul) were not men who touched each other carelessly; every contact or interaction released a surge of energy and relief

Spin the wheel until rainbow sparks fly. There could be romance, or there could be none

Even if Yoo Ah In were gay, people should have kept their noses out of it

They wanted him to come out to the public and jeopardize his career, what a joke

People are mostly pro-life, anti-gay or both. They won't listen. Your message will go in one ear and out the other

As for Yoo Ah In, he should visit a behavioral health counselor on a regular schedule. Jail won't reduce his drug seeking behavior, nor will it sustain his recovery

"If he's the pretty type, I hope he's like Cha Eun Woo. And if he's the handsome type, I hope he's like Woo Do Hwan or Kim Woo Bin. That's my ideal type"

Jeong Hyun has good taste in men

I smiled from ear to ear whenever Jun Hyung and Do Hyun flirted with their eyes or tried to find a middle ground between their alcohol preferences

He's a survival show contestant? I'll have to vote for him!

The exaggerated voracity, the amplification of eating sounds and the close-up images of food allow me to eat vicariously through Jun Hyung and Do Hyun

The two men treat food reverentially; romanced, ritualized and seasoned with memory. The same food brought them together

I'm now convinced that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Men should take notes

"We were playing hide-and-seek. Big brother came and-"

"Who? The good-looking guy with big eyes?"

Geon Hee (Thomas) was whipped LMFAO

Goongtan has been "doing god's work"

For Dong Wook, The Guest and King of Pigs served as primary vehicles through which to meet his ideal partners, Jae Wook and Sung Kyu

Their chemistry was undeniable. Wish they starred in more thrillers together

Love me some assumptions from someone who knows nothing about me

Goongtan didn't use little Yeom Ji at first. His eyes had the power to speak the language of sincere concern for a maltreated child. Words were unspoken and emotions were unexpressed, but the glint in his eyes rouse a shower of sympathy. He was a shoulder to lean on. Not a narcissist: https://imgur.com/a/qGcqWZN

Van and Goongtan responded to trauma differently. Whether or not the latter "chose" to become a "monster" opens up a new can of worms on whether or not "free will" exists. And I'm not opening it at the moment
