I can only imagine lesbians being less than thrilled with this. The main 2 girls both end up with guys. And contrary to the 'Bisexual Male Lead' tag that was originally there.....neither male lead seemed to be bisexual in the slightest....I don't know why it was ever added.
I only deal in facts...not rants, gossip or flame wars.
For those curious about what all the rants/flames about him really were....I had to go look it up myself since no one seemed to actually want to point to supporting facts.
According to the scmp.com article: [Last Thursday, Jung and Seungri, a member of the boy band Big Bang – both of whom have announced their resignations from show business – were questioned by police in connection with the scandal.] -- So apparently he was quitting show business. (That was published in March of 2019). Note: His his contract with his agency was maintained according to the 2nd article, but no indication was made on whether he would actually do anything with it.
In the same scmp.com article it said that: [“Lee responded to a request for his cooperation in the investigation by police, who visited his military unit on Tuesday afternoon,” it said, claiming that no wrongdoing had come to light at that time.] They further stated: [The agency also defended its earlier denial, saying it had been difficult to verify the facts as Lee had stopped being a member of the group chat room a long time ago.]
So apparently, he was guilty of really bad judgement, but nothing they could charge him for in a court of law. So contrary to what I saw suggested in multiple posts...he was NOT in jail, he was actually serving in the military at that time.
Let's hope he learned his lesson and can rebuild his life without making these kinds of mistakes again.
As I understand it, these are more along the lines of 'missing' episodes that were intended to be in the original 'Why R U' series but got cut due to the Covid 19 Pandemic.
It’s not just that, there is more negativity against them because they have been making homophobic jokes towards…
I don't know if there was an issue but... if they are from the same agency then he's highly UNLIKELY to say anything even if there was. Even though he may be 100% in the right....airing dirty laundry in public and all can be pretty taboo for long term viability. So it would only hurt him in the long run if he got a reputation for doing that.
Vote on the tags for this to remove the gay tags. ( had to do the 'not very relevant' vote for it...like -20% or something) I also voted to add 'advertisement'.
I wouldn't have cared so much if it hadn't been labeled as gay relationship!! (After all...I'll watch 'Ingredients' and that seems like it is a low key supermarket commercial)
Are you really surprised? It's not like it's new. It began with some of the starter BLs; In Make It right, Tee…
I think you are confusing people who are intentionally getting drunk to loosen their inhibitions to hook up and someone who is just out drinking with friends.
As for sexual assaults in the gay community...they happen yeah....but I wouldn't say they are all that 'common' except in the drug/alcohol scene. (Not saying they can't happen outside of intoxication...just much less likely).
In all cases(str8,gay,bi,undecided), people should be cautious about becoming intoxicated/impaired to the point where those things can happen as part of basic safety and should try to only do such things in the company of trusted friends.

I haven't seen the 2nd season...but at the end of the first season... Techno....was raped. There is no question at all.....he went home drunk...and got raped by Kengkla.... there was no question about whether he was sober enough to consent...he was passed out for most of it. I confess, although I was rooting for Kengkla to get his man...I didn't expect it to be rape....was disappointed by that. (Although the morning after was funny....but Kengkla is still guilty!)

Fuse was the one drunk. But by the time he got to Tee's place he was somewhat less drunk...he wasn't 'falling down drunk' at that point. It's a bit difficult to say where is that dividing line. However, I completely agree that Tee shouldn't have accepted Fuse's consent when he was still somewhat intoxicated....better safe than sorry in my opinion!
But....Fuse was so wishy-washy for the entire first season...to me it felt more like he tried to push most of the blame onto Tee. Fuse in general seemed to basically be so indecisive in everything it makes it hard hard for me to sympathize with him...especially given what he put Tee through... I always thought that Tee should have found someone better....it was like he was a masochist.
If you want to use an example of a real cut and dried rape though(Also from Make It Right first season) ..... Frame and Book when they first had sex.

Did you actually watch it? Fuse asked Tee if he ever had sex with a guy. Tee responded that he hadn't and asked Fuse if he wanted to.... Fuse responded yes. It's just that Fuse was still somewhat drunk at the time and didn't remember it completely right away. The worst Tee was guilty of was having sex with a somewhat drunk person.... but by that time Fuse was actually starting to sober up. (Having sex with a drunk person is NOT something I would recommend doing personally)
Wait I tried searching info on this but couldn't find anything. so like why is Taiwan like being God at releasing…
Taiwan is not part of China. (Even though China claims it is). It was founded by the group that lost their civil war when the communist party took over. Taiwan has always been very anti-communist historically.
He looks better with short hair I think. (Not that he looked bad in UWMA) Hope he doesn't smoke in real life though...causes the skin to age prematurely...in addition to cancer risks etc... The character talked about smoking...but that's hopefully just the character! Hope to see him in more quality roles! :)
I am so you! I can't forgive him yet.. I know we all can make mistakes, but this don't give us the right of hurting…
People don't like to work with people who might drag their careers down over internal disputes. In my OPINION, this is also why 'reality stars' have such a difficult time making it as serious actors.
The main 2 girls both end up with guys.
And contrary to the 'Bisexual Male Lead' tag that was originally there.....neither male lead seemed to be bisexual in the slightest....I don't know why it was ever added.

Correction..only first couple of them are subbed....
