this level of cosmetic surgery is starting to look cartoonish...
"starting to...?" 😂 Nothing like an obvious, cheap nose job you're stuck with for life, eh? It makes me nuts how so many of them spoil their natural good looks in a quest to meet some weird, android-like beauty standard.
"Just because I am consuming the story doesn't mean I have to agree with the characters and everything they do."
No one said you HAVE to agree, but that's the case with every story ever, in every art form, so one would assume you already know that. When you watch a murder mystery, do you go out of your way to post in comments that the murderer is (downright!) wrong?
Yours is a performative type of declarative moral assertion made relentlessly on MDL by members who want everyone to know that, in matters of sex and age gap (gasp!) relationships, they are pure and righteous in their thinking.
Because it seems you have a black/white sense of right/wrong, good/bad, and watching characters behave like flawed humans in an imperfect world is likely to be stressful for you.
How do I know this? Your use of the intensifier, "downright," is the tell. My mom used that word, too, whenever she couldn't explain why something was "wrong;" but she "knew" it was, and so, it...was...or something. 🙄
In this case, the student isn't even a legal minor, so unless you're saying it's (downright!) wrong as in technically against school rules, and I don't think you are, YOU are (downright!) wrong.
Finally, Gi Woo hasn't done anything to the student thus far except be surprise-kissed by him. I mean, I hope he does a LOT more than that, but so far, it's not the case.
AFAIK the student is legal age knowing he stopped for 2 years and is a senior student. The problematic aspect…
"There is obviously a taboo against this and is generally frown upon in reality however as a drama I think they do have a leeway and the artistic license to portray relationships like this which might not be acceptable in the real world."
There is a taboo against it, and it is frowned upon in the world of this story, too, else there would BE no story. The fact that it's taboo is where all the tension comes from.
It's nice of you to grant the show your permission to go ahead, though. 😉
Episodes 3 & 4: Ponderous, heavy-laden, depressive...exactly how I like it, and so rarely get it in BL World.
Also, I feel there is a maelstrom of crazy shit going on, and I'm only catching about 10% of it. Which is fine by me, too, as more and more is being revealed...
Shiraishi, in preview for episode 7: "Bitch!!!" My feelings exactly.
Episode 6: Iwanaga needs to dump psycho-silly-neurotic queen Akihiro sooner rather than later. No one can heal that level of insecurity, self-loathing, and general annoyance but the insecure self-loather themselves. Life with someone like that will be one crisis of self-confidence after another. No one should have to go through life apologizing for having lived before they met their current partner. They'll be walking on egg shells 24/7.
Plus, Akihiro is not hot. And the actor is not good.
As usual, Takamatsu Aloha as Shiraishi had the best 30 seconds of the episode, even if 30 seconds is all he was on screen.
I won't be upset to see this one wrap up. I wouldn't call it a "hate watch" for me; more like a "negative indifference watch." It will get a 4 or 5 rating from me.

I love that. 😉
GW is about as sexy in his affect as a wet dish rag.
If he is flirting, he is really, really bad at it.
Also, the student is a legal adult, in case you missed it.
In what way has GW "taken advantage" of the student to this point?

It's comical. 😂

Many films and dramas involve murder and worse.
Should such stories be told? 🙄

So...basically, everyone is freaking gay and reads BL. 😂
Takeuchi and the teacher together would have been hot.
I'm still shipping Matsuno/Suzuki, regardless of all this other nonsense.
All our stupid Suzuki needs is a taste of some Serizawa-Snake; after which I'm sure all would be made crystal-clear to him.
This is written terribly; total amateur hour, so naturally it has an 8.2 MDL rating. 🤣🤭😂
It makes the problem worse.
🤣
What a great word! May I borrow? 😂💯
It's a scream, isn't it?
I suspect your feelings toward the teacher may change over time.
Let me know. 😉
