Rewatched Queen For Seven Days today and again I am deeply impressed by Lee Dong Gun. He steals the show as the mad king, please give him another sageuk, or tortured character to play.
They tell women to open their mouth like that when they want them to just stand there looking pretty. It's more…
I see what you mean. Agreed women are exploited like that, but the same goes for male stars. They also have to just stand there looking pretty with their abs fully shown, or with their mouth opened just like the females. See the many pics of Nam Joo Hyuk who's usually photographed with his mouth opened https://www.thefamouspeople.com/profiles/images/nam-joo-hyuk-3.jpg
Okay, it's a universal truth that beautiful actresses face a lot of annoyance, and we don't need scientific studies to know why. Still, this editorial is entertaining, and most of the comments on actresses make sense as well, but I disagree with one actress, Han Hyo-joo. Like other super stars Han Hyo-joo has a magnetic screen presence, that's why she doesn't need method acting whatsoever to make the audience feel for her character. She was the ideal heroine for W: Two Worlds imo, and what's wrong with a gaping mouth anyway? If a male actor like Nam Joo Hyuk shows his sexy pout, nobody's complaining.
A crying shame she used her Weibo account to vent support for the police violence against participants of the…
For those who don't know, or tend to forget, Disney has a long line of heroines who are rioters in body and soul. They chose to break with society, disobey the rules, in order to stay true to themselves and the people they love. See Pocahontas, Tarzan, The Little Mermaid, Beauty & The Beast, The Hunchback of The Notre Dame, and so on. If you go to Disney's Mulan 2020 because you expect to see a movie about the greatness of the Chinese Empire, or about "citizens" who are willing to sacrifice everything for the nation, I guess you'll be sorely disappointed. So much so as I am disappointed about an actress who prefers to speak up for a political party from a country she not even wants to live in. "Support Mulan"? Since when do I have to support, or boycott, a Disney character? If politics enter the favorite dreamworld of my youth that is Disney, I rather never watch a Disney movie again.
I think of BL has a genre of itself. I wouldn't consider Ossan's Love a BL. For me, BL is a gay themed show with…
European gay movies are worthwile as well. Did you see Mario? About two young professional footballplayers who fall in love. I wish they would make a drama out of that movie.

Agreed, and I still like to apologise for my rant, there’s nothing wrong with BL Hallmark fluff. I just want a more original story for a change. Not only realistic drama but really every possible genre. Thanks for mentioning Love Simon, I will check it out.
It's true that it's such a coincidence that the three brothers would be gay lol You know, I read that one of the…
Nope, if I am a bisexual who wants to enjoy a healthy relationship, I won't say "It's your problem, go fix it". In stead I will see this as our problem. I will fight for me and my partner by being open to each other, making sound agreements, and good friends. Thus we can face the outside world together. Almost sounding like a manifest here, sorry, of course you can offload the problem on your partner if you see fit.

Yeh, you are right, and I'm talking about two different things here. The imaginary dividing line is, like you put it 'that bisexuals are "not always" thinking of having sex with the other sex when in a relationship'. Like I've tried to explain before, whether I am straight or LGBTIQ, I have to show commitment to make my relationship work. The problem when I am bisexual is that showing commitment won't be enough. I will have appearances against me. Why? Because every partner likes to be reassured that he or she is special and nobody else can compare to him or her. However, when I am bisexual and I meet my match, there's still the danger of constant anxiety in our relationship. Not only because my partner will be jealous of potential competitors from the same sex, but also he will have to fight his inner fear that I will be lured to a competitor from the other sex, especially when he suspects I am craving for sex that he can't possibly give me. I know this is wrong, but who says the world is fair :(

Take your quote: "I would hope if someone was in a relationship with someone who was bi, they wouldn't hold the view that that person had to "pick a side", or that that person HAS chosen a side". My guess is no one cares about the status quo but the bisexual himself who wants to be taken seriously by the world in general, and his partner in particular. What matters to the partner is to have a long-lasting commitment from the bisexual. It would be harmful if the bisexual not only wants sex with another gender than his current partner, but also makes his wish come true while his partner doesn't want that kind of open relationship. In this case the bisexual will be seen as a commitment phobe or a cheater.

Harmful to whom, I should ask, the bisexual or the partner? Or are you referring to the image of bisexuals? If I am bisexual I'll have to find a partner who can live with the fact that I love both men and women. It's up to my partner and me if I like to switch sides or not, and suppose I do we both decide if this will be during our relationship or after breakup. That's nobody else's business but ours. The same goes for everyone else, hetero- and homosexuals alike, do I want another partner or not. The real question should be: am I a cheater or not. That can be harmful. There's nothing bizarre to that.
