Congratulations, Knetz. You just laid out for all to see the bitter, jealous, and resentful Knetz mindset toward…
Wow. The rationalizations here speak for themselves, Knetz. Watch carefully what accusations you make about this young woman or any other celebrity here. The mods are ready and eager these days to take down such filth. I'm ready and eager to report it, as are a lot of other MDLers who are sick and tired of the abuse.
Your not liking to read Korean suicide statistics ("guilt-tripping and emotionally manipulating other people..." lol If you feel guilt it's because you deserve to. Suicide statistics don't guilt me because I don't help drive people to that point like Knetz do.), but that is your problem, not mine. Reflect on why you feel guilty when confronted with them.
I no longer engage your kind beyond a couple of replies. Watch what you write.
Bravo for "How To Make Millions...," Billkin! You had me riveted through ITSAY and IPYTM. It's wonderful to see you continuing to grow into your career. Thank you for all the quality feels. You are a remarkable actor.
Beautiful and heartbreaking, in the best combination of those qualities I've seen in quite some time.
I am happy to see my faith in Billkin's talent play out as his career advances. He and the grandma actress are remarkable here. The restrained subtlety in their acting, together and separately, makes every feeling they evoke far more powerful than if they'd been chewing scenery as many lesser actors would have done.
Accordingly, kudos to the director for guiding them to give their best to us, the audience.
I just finished watching this, so am wrecked right now. Perhaps I'll be back to write more when I'm feeling less raw. Until then...

Happy to see a deserving film get a relatively high MDL rating. Far too often, this is not the case.
The same people advocating for respecting celebrities' privacy and "minding our own business" rush to fawn over…
Congratulations, Knetz. You just laid out for all to see the bitter, jealous, and resentful Knetz mindset toward celebrities. This is the attitude that has driven Korean celebrities to suicide by the dozens over the last 20 years.
Who, exactly, "rushed to fawn" over this birth? Why did your mind immediately slither its way to picturing these parents in the act of procreation, and why did you describe two lovely humans making love as if they were Gorillas with "primal acts and multiplying?"
Never mind, I know why. It's how lonely, loveless Knetz with chips on their shoulders the size of Korea, itching for another suicide thrill, feel.
lol Why would someone use the term "belatedly" as if she owes anyone the time when she announces when she became…
I came to this thread to make this point. Thank you for doing it for me.
MDL inserts judgment qualifiers like this into its headlines all the time. The implication is always that the public has some pressing right to know everything about a celebrity's personal life. If the celeb opts to disclose anything after the fact, words like "belatedly" betray the reporter's pique at not being told upfront, and ever-so-sneakily suggests there must be some dark reason this was HIDDEN from them.
It's not just MDL, however. This is the attitude of Korean trash media and Knetz that manifests in relatively benign headlines such as this, all the way to driving celebrities to suicide with horrifying regularity. Anyone in the public eye is looked upon as owing the Korean nation a lily-white, pure business, personal, and private life. Nothing is off the table for judgment and condemnation, regardless of how minor or thinly sourced it is.
This is well-written. My thoughts exactly, though I'll watch to the bitter end.Ba Wu is indeed frustrating/annoying…
I wish I could know how the actor ended up playing the character this way; whether it's more his fault or the director's. I lean toward the latter theory because there is so much else about the show that sucks, and all of it, including this actor's character interpretation, is his responsibility.
The last time I saw anything in BaWu's demeanor toward JiHun other than disdain and rudeness was probably somewhere in episode 2. This thing is a mess.
omg...the rating for this is absurdly high. OK...fess up. Who here is up-rating this bore-fest and why? I totally stan both Pillow Lips boys, but you can do that and still recognize this story sucks.
hoon acting obtuse isn’t helping. i get that he’s overwhelmed and afraid of ruining his friendship with bawoo…
But it's all so badly written that I don't care one way or the other. I'm watching because I have nothing better to watch right now. This is really bad.
Well that's enough of that. There's no end game here & if it' s supposed to be Ba Wu & Ji Hun together, that's…
This is well-written. My thoughts exactly, though I'll watch to the bitter end.
Ba Wu is indeed frustrating/annoying to the point of unlikability. But it is so obvious that his actions make no coherent sense that it's difficult for me to get too worked up about it.
The same old gears grinding the same old way, over and over, through another ep of characters transparently pretending not to understand what other characters say/want/mean because that's what's in the script, not because it makes sense.
It's unfortunate, because there is a good, potential core story here: A young man, unrequitedly in love with his best friend, cuts off the best friend to protect himself. The best friend is deeply hurt, comes to understand that the young man loves him and...he loves him back. The best friend attempts to confess to the young man time and again, but is thwarted at every turn; thus, he is the one who ends up in what he believes is an unrequited situation.
However, the way this is written makes none of the above believable. Add to that, boring direction/acting/setting and you have a dull-fest with pretty faces.
It doesn't help that this is one of those BLs with zero budget for extras. As a result, the school campus feels as if these three young men are the only survivors of a nuclear war or zombie apocalypse. Except for the three male friends and the girl, I suppose. But the friends are terribly portrayed and seem less than human so perhaps they're zombies.
Speaking of the girl, she gave the best performance so far. When she spoke of her affection for the MC and her pain at having been rejected, but her pain is intensified by the fact she seems to have lost his friendship too, something she cherished more than the idea of a romantic future with him, I was quite moved. More so than by anything happening among the guys.
The only thing you accomplished in putting together this BS list, chock-full of misrepresentations, character assassination, and bile, was to expose yourself as a hateful Knetz, obsessed with destroying people far more talented and productive than you could ever hope to be.

Note the use of the word "belatedly" in the headline.
MDL thinks it was owed.

Nothing.
BaWu does not have much in the way of lips.

The rest is lame.

Guys are cute. I'll forget this when it's over.
