i have watched many entertaining and enjoyable shows that are not "cinematic masterpieces" and this is neither…
that's fine! not everyone enjoys the same thing. i will outwardly admit that this show was pretty terrible but it gave me a whole day of easy watching and something to relax with
Your failure to relate has more to do with your sexual orientation as this is written by a gay man yearning to…
your argument makes no sense. stop trying to call straight people oppressed because THEY'RE NOT. your argument for the 'who has it worst' is ridiculous. queer people have had slurs hurled at them for decades and have been both verbally and physically abused just for existing and you want to try and compare a slur that would have been the last word some people ever heard with a word that mildly hurts someones feelings? this isn't the god damn oppression olympics.
and please, enlighten me about how straight people who never have to deal with compulsory heterosexuality confusing them, people abusing them for existing or having to explain their sexuality to people fully understand what it's like to be LGBTQ+

i'm not saying i agree with calling everyone who enjoys watching these shows "fujoshi" but those two words are massively different in their impact to a community and the fact that you would compare them is mind boggling to me. one is used to describe people who fetishise the mere existence of gay men and the other is an extremely offensive derogatory word that has been used to insult gay men for decades.
and in some cases, yes, LGBT+ people understand LGBT+ characters and shows wayyyy more than straight people purely because straight people have no idea of the experiences LGBT+ people have. straight people can be allies and still not understand the oppression LGBT+ people experience or the long, tiring self identity crises that some of us go through. so yes, when a character is written as someone who is on a self-discovery journey, straight people don't understand the full picture
also, most BL shows ARE made for straight people to obsess over, this one makes a nice difference because it has good LGBT+ representation and actually addresses a lot of issues we face
yes this show was a mess and ridiculously overdramatic but it was still entertaining to watch. what more can you want from a show? not everything you enjoy watching has to be a cinematic masterpiece
this show has just completely blown me away so far. i can't remember the last time i saw a show with such good LGBT representation and as someone who is LGBT, it's so beautiful to see. i can't wait to see more of it
i wasnt really interested in this show for the first few episodes but then all of a sudden it got really good! im so glad i stuck it out because now im looking forward to a new episode every week
there's so many comments of people complaining about the age gap... ffs they're both adults just doing their job and if yoo jung felt uncomfortable with it she wouldn't have taken the role. all they're doing is acting it's not like they're dating irl
