It's a really interesting concept but I'm worried how they might handle the inevitable queer implications... can…
I was afraid of the same but as a queer person I find it very respectful so far (like, the main guy is going through it but it’s not in a homophobic nor transphobic way, just a “I’m not atracted to men and my girlfriend is in a man’s body so even though I rationally know she is my girlfriend and I love her I don’t feel attracted right now” way)
all chinese BL dramas are censored adaptations of the original work. doesn't make them a romance any less. calling…
I haven’t seen this specific drama yet but usually is a no to the kissing and holding hands (as it’s blocked by censorship and could result not only in unairing the series but also legal persecution), yes to hugging, protecting each other, calling each other soulmates, being understood as a couple by the other characters, doing stuff that is culturally done by couples only, etc. The censorship is not a joke and a censored BL is not that way by choice and it’s a piece of queer resistance, as opposed to a bromance that either is not planned to be seen as queer or is pure queerbaiting, and so revoking the status of BL from those works and putting in the same box as bromance just because the characters couldn’t kiss on screen from fear of gonverment repression is plainly shallow.
EDIT: One point I like to add is that usually in censored BLs when there’s a straight couple they act the same as the gay couple, so if there are no kissing and holding hands by the main characters, there’s also no kissing and holding hands by straight couples in the series
Does anyone know what time Viki will release episode 9? Viki used to release kdrama episodes within 2 hours of…
I think they’re only releasing now with the full subs (which is annoying cus usually I can watch no problem with 97% of subs on but now we have to wait till 99%) and it depends on the drama. This one is coming out 4h later for me, but Undercover High School for example is taking 16h so I usually watch only the next day, very annoying
I’m really liking this so far! The ages didnt bother me as I’m bad at math and thought only ten years passed and they are in their 20s instead of 30s and only realised they should be in their 30s reading the comment section and going forward I’ll just pretend it was 10 years instead of 16. That being said, the only thing that bothered me was the ppl in the street rooting for him when he confessed as if he wasnt a literal child…
Ok, so… While this dram is so far really makes us think how we treat senior citizens, it’s really annoying how the characters are doing making a conflict out of a non issue. Idk if it’s my over 15years of ballet on a big city with adult and senior classes and therefore seeing a lot of senior 80+ citizens in dancing spaces but this whole A 70 YEAR OLD DOING BALLET, THE HORROR 😱😱😱 thing really pissing me of, like, it’s not a big deal??? 70 is not that old in the first place and actually pretty common? So, my thing is, does this get better? Cus I’m just annoyed above any heartwarming feeling I should be feeling at this point, idk.
I dont want to believe this theory cus it will ruin this drama for me (as a 10/10 so far) but I believe he was told Hee Joo is his niece. The kidnapper call her sis and the father looked really cozy with Hee Joo’s mother on an early episode… I dont want to be real though, I draw a hard line at incest
Here’s my theory:I think the weird-eyed guy (the "unnie guy") is the twin brother of the kidnapped child, but…
I like the thory of the grandpa drowning the kids and the fisherman finding them cus it would explain why ML was with the fisherman (looked like he was recovering from injury) and the nightmare he had about drawing, but also could explain how real BSE survived since the fisherman tried rescuing the children and how he knows real BSE survived. I think our ML is one of the twins and Park Do Je is the other. I’m on the fence if he knows our ML is fake BSE or not. I also believe the doctor sunbae is a witness (he drew the grandfather’s ring) and believes our ML is real BSE and therefore the killer. I believe kidnapper is real BSE and the master behind kidnapper is mom.
Ji UK's love language is definitely acts of service...first he protects her from the abusive father, then he gives…
Dont forget the mustard pang jelly he gave her when she brought him into the stairs (maybe more self preservation, this one, but still an act of service) 😩💜
