Meh...can't get into it. Which is saying a lot, as I'm a life-long fan of GOOD vampire flicks. Great cast, though. I'm not a fan of Song Kang Ho, so that's likely the problem here. I don't understand why he is as successful as he is. He certainly does not fit this part.
Dropping at 30 minutes...despite some great/creative visuals, I'm bored to tears. 1/10
Goodness. That's a remarkably incisive and well-thought-out assertion. I appreciate the tons of evidence you provided to back up your snippy little reply. "bfr" lol
Please direct your attention to another commenter. Thanks.
💫 The intimate scene (episode 5) in Business as Usual was one of the most romantic and emotionally charged…
Wow. I perceive this episode and the show as a whole to be TERRIBLY written. I like that the show is attempting to deal with some interesting and rarely addressed issues, like how everyone perceives and remembers shared events differently; but the actual dialogue is awful and confusing.
Totally agree about the love/sex scene though. Lovely.
Also, Min Joona! Please stand up!! If it wasn't you, it would be someone else. That's how homophobia works.😔😔…
hmmm...I don't think it's a good idea to be in a relationship with a homophobe like JH in the first place. Of course, it would have been fun to see MJ stand up for himself and make a huge display of being JH's man, then tell him to kiss his ass and walk away.
Just my opinion: I see a lot of people frustrated with Min Joon but the thing is, it doesn't matter how much Jin…
Yes, BUT...the thing with JH deliberately leaving MJ, who came to the wedding WITH JH at his invitation, to fend for himself at the edge of that photo-bit really pissed me off. Had they been a straight couple, there is no way he would have left his girlfriend alone on the edge of a large group of people she didn't know well. He would have pulled her into the group with is friends.
THEN... JH deliberately hides his relationship with MJ when asked who he is dating by his friends. With MJ standing RIGHT THERE, he does this, and not just once, but two or three times. Again with the casual cruelty.
I fully understand that MJ is terribly insecure, but so does JH and still he did the things I mentioned above. They are a terribly unhealthy combination. MJ needs therapy and antidepressants before dating anybody, least of all someone like JH.
It doesn't help that the show is badly written in general, of course. These motivations and relationship quirks are not well-portrayed. I don't know if JH's behavior is to show him as a jerk, or whether the inconsistencies are the result of poor writing. It's all quite frustrating, especially because overall the show isn't very good and I'm watching to this point only because my BL plate is bare.
I know the feelings of insecurity and angst that pull at MunJin. It wasn't' until this episode though, that I identified with him, and strongly so. However, and I say this with empathy and compassion, what he needs is good therapy and self-care before he enters into relationship with anyone, let alone a casually cruel person like Jin Hwan.
The day after that beautifully-performed love scene and the lovemaking I presume followed after the cut-away, JH once again put MJ at a distance. He obscured their relationship and was deliberately evasive when his friends asked about his dating status. He put distance between himself and MJ, intentionally leaving MJ to fend for himself on the edge of the group portrait, when he easily could have pulled him to be beside him with his friends in the shot.
I perceive JH as either oblivious to his own actions, or deliberately mean, push-pulling MJ back and forth for the fun of it...? He seemed authentically affectionate and eager to talk things out leading up to the presumably hot sex. Then, the next day, he seems vaguely distant while still giving off enough connection vibes to keep MJ guessing. And guessing is the LAST thing MJ needs in an intimate relationship. He is correct, and I give him credit for, understanding that a relationship with JH will bring bucket loads of pain and sadness.
I sincerely wish he would begin therapy and look into antidepressants. He needs to focus on repairing himself in general; dating is a long way down the list of what should be his priorities. Of course, if all messed-up drama characters did therapy and meds, the plots would be dull in the extreme. :)
And yeah, whether intentionally or not, JH is a jerk.
The "real villains" are YOU GUYS for writing and producing one of the worst sequels ever made.
WHC1 was near-perfect. WHC2 is a sad disappointment.
In making S2, you dumped everything that made S1 engaging, smart, and emotionally powerful. What we got was a high-school gang retread mish-mash from a hundred other films just like it.
Beyond happy to see Yoo out of jail, in treatment, and enjoying the fruits of his hard work and talent. I hope he soaks it all in and allows it to heal his soul.
Ji Soo is a good actor. However, let's not give him a pass just because of that. Here’sa quote from above: "Ji…
Hi Killer Knetz Klown.
You must have a lot of free time to harass celebrities and to write replies to MDL randos who you imagine are harassing you. Why don't you get a job or something constructive?
"Get lost. I'm done!" it snarled. Blood spiraled from its fangs as it spun on its cloven hooves and stomped out of the thread. The door slammed against its gigantic ass as it cleared the threshold, and it squealed with a start. (We all know it will be back for more...Knetz live for this stuff.)
But I guarantee you, there are FAR worse Korean films out there. :)

"Crows Zero 3" is a more apt title.

Also happy to see all Knetz looking sad.
This is not the worst BL ever made, but it is certainly one of the most boring.
I laughed twice, just because of how dull this episode was.
Good Lord.
