Trouble-chan

Blademan2 - homosexuality is not disgusting. It is two people in love wanting that love to last and to be happy. That is no different from my straight love wjth my husband. Being gay, lesbian, etc is NOT a 'lifestyle choice' any more than bleeding red blood is.

Therefore having a gay couple in a drama, or even a drama about a gay couple's romance (ie 2 moons), is not only to be expected but welcomed. Would you say such things about a black or mix raced couple, or disabled couple? Of course not; so saying them about a gay couple is equally as unacceptable.

Differing opinions are great because the world would be a boring place if we all though alike. But bigoted, discriminatory hatred is something else entirely and NOT acceptable. I speak out against the latter fully as much as I defend the former. This time you are most definitely falling into the latter, whether that was your intention or not.

Just remember we ALL have right to want to meet our soulmate and be happy - regardless of what gender we love. I'm a straight woman of 52 and a mum to a 20 year old daughter, so I've probably been around a lot longer than you. Please, stop posting hate; it's not big and it's certainly not clever. Thank you.

Korean....just sublime. That said, they're both good in their own way. That's the brilliant thing about dramas that have a version in each country - you see that country's take on the story, allowing for their tastes, customs, etc. I'd advise you to watch both and make up your own mind. :)

I really liked it. But each to their own right? :D

I'm about to start watching it - so you're not entirely alone. The plot appeals to me and I think it will be good; you're review gives me even more enthusiasm. :)

There have been so MANY suicides in the last few years, but there's been an incredible spike the last few months. When you read about how their management deal with them - whether idols or actors - and how they control every moment of their lives, even cutting them off from families, telling them they can't date, etc it's just not surprising that many feel the only way to escape such excessive controls is to die.

Such a waste of so many young lives - the industry needs to have a complete overhaul of what they're doing. A single death is completely wrong, this many is just utterly unacceptable on every level. The way the management companies talk about the victim having been in therapy and/or on depression medication as if that makes it all okay also beggars belief. They should NOT be so depressed that they need ANY of that.

Just makes me so angry that all this happens and yet nothing changes......

So sad to hear this - the East Asian entertainment industry, whether music or acting, MUST start reviewing their tactics because another innocent soul just could not keep up. Just so sad to hear this...... my thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and fans at this sad and terrible time.

Saito Takumi makes it an automatic watch for me.

Thank God I'm not the only one - it also creeps me out when he smiles and laughs in other roles these days; it just isn't Irie-kun. lol!

Push fro Perfect Match? Oh count me in, he was adorable in that!

Usually, so long as you don't see the person die, then that's an excuse for them to be brought back. But if he is definitely dead, then at least Jang Hyuk should return. I haven't seen the last episode yet - I've been saving it.....

I must admit that's why I always watch all the variations on a drama each time it's done. She Was Pretty, Kimi wa Petto and of course InK were some I've done this with. Like you I like to see the different takes on dramas due to cultural differences. As you say we can experience the globe's tv without having to be in that country and for someone like me, who loves to see other cultures but can't afford to travel, it's BRILLIANT. :)

Yup, completely agree. Without the leads (or at least the second lead and first lead as a fallback) then I have to bail.....

I get way too invested in these dramas then - lip bump.....sends me into madness.......as you can see! LOL!

This is raw on Dramanice.

I can't give it a 10 because Cha Yoo Jin is just such an evil moron that I wanted to kill him SO often......I would LITERALLY have just looked for a shovel if I'd been Seoul.....What's more is, unlike Irie Naoki in Mischievous Kiss, Yoo Jin has NOT got Asperger's - he's just horrible. So it got a 9 from me.

I always watch the first episode - even if I want to wait and binge it, I always watch the first one to see if I'm going to like it. If not I don't bother with it again.

Agreed, totally. My aunt and uncle were VERY happy. I've seen other couples, some with the woman being that much and more older, who are blissfully happy. It's up to the individual.

I'd forgotten the Korean dramas had the dreaded lip bump too.....I really don't get why - I mean if they're close enough to want to kiss, then make it a KISS. I mean sure SOME instances it's meant to be 'accidental' (though the contortions they have to go through would make a gymnastic flinch) but yeah lip bumps there are sort of okay.

But the real romance moments, some are heart rending/passionate too and then they just bump lips.....I understand about skinship, but surely if they're going to lip bump then they're at the kissing stage too?!! Ok I am now stepping away from my soapbox! XD

It could just be no one's uploaded it anywhere even raw yet, though usually they appear on youtube pretty quickly. But no problem - if I hear anything or see it pop up, I'll let you know. :)

this was total rubbish......completely unintelligible existential gibberish. Just a director trying to be clever.
