Truth Dares

Lol, I feel you, bruh. MDL is rather over-represented by these instinct-filled edge demeanour psycho teenage girls with no rational or sane mind, but this one is a particularly nasty and unhinged piece of work. I would have never expected to come across such an unhinged beast under the page of this show, though.

Agree - except for actual anti-lgbtq laws. As far as I know there are no such things in China.

For God's sake, could people do some research what bromance means?

Actually what I find really typical and what I personally hate about this site is your basket case snowflake reaction when someone instead of trying to counter-argue starts to throw their toys out of their pram by saying "That is my opinion, through and through" and subsequently starts sobbing and sulking that nasty commenters on a debate board hurt their feelings and wounded their elderflower heart by daring to tell them they are wrong. A discussion board is not a psychiatric sanatorium where everyone has to take bows, constantly apologizing and chewing their words twice for having strong opinions and talking back to you.

Btw what some others have also tried to bring your attention to is that not everything is relative, there are some conclusions to be had from actions and actual words uttered by the protagonists, and most of your opponents refer to these while you are apparently stuck on your subjective stance about one particular character and try to twist the actual proceedings to fit and suit  that.

Furthermore there are two very basic major flaws you seem to enjoy a lot: using strawman arguments and making up things. No one has ever said what Hyeon Ho did is not bullying, I only denied he used "violent bullying". He was a bystander and more like a passive bully. Your assumption that he was a gang leader who ordered and orchestrated the bullying is totally baseless and nothing indicates that. He was apparently the smartest of them all but there are no signs of him being a gang leader or something like that (actually his feelings for Do Hoe being revealed would have easily lead to him being bullied as well), as a matter of fact Do Hoe saying he was trying to stop the other guys from bullying is a direct contradiction of this.

Hyeon Ho was not bullying Do Hoe violently. He reluctantly joined the bullying gang as he was unable to handle his feelings for Do Hoe and from time to time he just passively stood by the bullying or tried to prevent or moderate it. We saw an example of that and we heard what Do Hoe responded when Hyeon Ho asked why Doe Hoe ignored him: That It was out of respect, and that Hyeon Hu should have beaten him up, if he wanted to feel better, not just trying to stop them. For all his resentments, Do Ho clearly understood Hyeon Ho's struggles with his emotions and his reaction as well, plus Hyeon Ho was also coming from an abusive family (there were many references to that, especially to his cop dad).

And how you all get that they are super close now is beyond me. Yeah, they clearly sort of made up, became business partners (I guess), some kind of buddies, they might even had a fling (though I doubt it), but Do Hoe is as cool and detached to him as to everyone else. They certainly do not have the emotional bond, not to mention love Do Hoes felt and still feels for Ju Yeong. Hyeon Ho (who is most likely to be in one-sided love with Do Hoe) is totally aware of this. That is why he asked Do Hoe if he was okay once he met Ju Yeong after such a long time. Do Hoe even confirmed his feelings by saying he was not okay. It is obvious that Do Hoe could carry on being on terms like this with Hyeon Hu because such emotional challenge he found himself in with Ju Yeong is not happening between him and Hyeon Hu.

Some of you are really blind and tone-deaf to these subtle nuances and subtext which are clearly there and when someone points this out you all act butthurt and hyper-defensive.

FL as well as the mother will surely figure that out, the question is how long the creators strech it. They already suspect something is off.

I figured that out myself but it is still more than a little far-fetched that the mother simply allows him to get away with her husband's murder, then just lets her son being sent abroad while the younger brother still has no legal right to the firm. She was married to an influential man, I cannot believe there was no one for her to turn to. That is the usual OTT lakorn stuff.

It is suitably adrenaline-pumping but the premise is so implausible as to be just too silly for words. Rampha was clearly raped by Thana and hence she got pregnant with Theethat but why should a woman agree to send her first son abroad and never see him again, and then marry her rapist. It makes no sense. And Theethat must have been the heir to the company by his father's will regardless of his mother remarrying someone else. Plus according to the premise Theethat and Phas must be at least 7 years apart yet they seem to be of the same age (as they are irl too).

Apply for trappist monk.

Google what pedo means, ignorant spinster. I see you're still watching it lol. Try to get laid, that might ease your frustration.

I am not gonna be here for long, especially since this board is likely to stay a battleground. I just peeked in to check up on what I should have known already. MDL never changes.

Ignorant clown.

I see the ignorant clowns who do not even know what paedophilia means and whose life mission are pearl-clutching and faux outrage are still fuming. Good. I drink your tears. Lol.

Those claiming that Maya is a typical BL villainess are extremely superficial and knee jerk quick to judge. She is not a l'art pour l'art bitch and I am not even sure at this stage she is romantically interested in Kohei. She is quite likely a person who got used to that others approach people like her only to take advantage of them. She clearly developed a defence mechanism by being uptight and prejudiced towards happy and merrily living people. Her hostile behaviour is abhorrent and wrong on many levels but she is clearly not cruel. She was rude to Taichi and his friends but she honestly believes they are all laughing behind her back and behind Kohei's back as well.

Actually what you say pretty much confirms what I have been suspecting for a long while, namely that it is not even exactly homophobia from the Chinese government. Xi and his lot seem to be more worried about the increasing LGBT movement and the civic force coming along with it which usually lead to general civic awareness and appetite for democracy.

Well that was pretty much obvious from the opening sequence, when they are clearly looking back at their story of getting together in retrospect.

But if CCP is so worked up for Chinese streaming platforms presenting BLs why don't they care if they do stream foreign BL content?

But what is the twisted logic of the fucking CCP that both iQIYI and WeTV can poop BL and LGBTQ shows out of themselves like diarrhoea as as long as they are foreign content?

Then it more seems like a copyright issue to me. Why would IQIYI otherwise react like that?

Are we sure it is due to the censorship this time? Cannot this be some copyright issue? If my memory serves me right this is not the first time something like this happens to a drama on iQIYI, regardless of its origins.
