He should move to the U.S. and Hollywood. We don't destroy people with drug addiction; we treat them. Yoo is well…
hmmm...I'm fairly certain I never wrote that the U.S. does NOT have a drug issue. Lame distraction attempt.
The "drug issue" will never be "solved" anywhere in the world, by the way. Humans have been doing drugs forever, from primitive forms such as chewing leaves of coca and other hallucinatory plants to downing opiates in pill form.
So, exactly what does your comment have to do with anything?
I'm not here to "solve" the entire world's drug problem, which will always exist, I am here promoting the idea that Yoo Ah In and people like him be given the best possible chance to recover and lead a drug-free, sober, happy life. And that outcome is far more likely in the U.S. with treatment and probation and by allowing him to be productive, than in the barbaric, backward atmosphere of Korea, where the use of "drugs" is punished as if it were mass murder, yet the country has the highest rate of alcohol abuse and alcoholism in the developed world!
oh...and alcohol is a "drug." Look it up. It's true.
Despite not having been originally conceived to be exhibited and awarded, there is a global trend to exhibit series…
Ariel, love your comment and info. Please take this suggestion in the positive spirit in which it is offered: Break up your writing into paragraphs, the shorter the better. It makes the overall text appear much less intimidating and more inviting. Also, breaking it up where your thoughts/subjects shift is a great way to indicate that to the reader.
Partly, it's simply a visual thing. An open, airy-looking text is relaxing. I LOVE to read long, informative comments, and yet even I was put off by this wall of text above.
Finally, it's sadly a thing that young people freak out at comments of more than three or four brief sentences. They like messages brief, disjointed, and the dumber the better. But don't dumb-down, just space-out, so to speak. :D
Again, thanks for writing and I hope I haven't offended you.
Another Thai story about how tragic it is to be gay. So original. So authentic. Such BS. When are Thai BL writers going to hear about things like surrogate mothers, adoption, and not treating the person you love most like shit as you go off to destroy some poor idiot woman's life by living a lie with her?
This is the fourth BL I am currently watching that is quite stupid. However, like the others, Eternal Butler is also cute/sweet/sexy and has the all-important element: Heart. I can't believe I'm tearing up watching a fucking robot profess its love to a bratty human. My god, Eden Chen is insanely hot naked. His acting is improving with each episode too.
This is the kind of BL I'd be insanely embarrassed to watch with non-BL friends (which is all of them), but more and more I don't care. Any friend who won't embrace my BL quirk is no friend at all. :D
Damn, I was hoping we'd get two episodes each week.
This is somewhat stupid, but also cute/sweet/amusing. More importantly, it has heart, which forgives a lot of flaws.
I like that we've got four great-looking guys but each is handsome in a distinctively different way. And not a pretty, fem, idol-type among them. I would have had LuHui strip down and painted him skinny-dipping in the surf. Who cares about another lame painting of a rock formation? Oh look! BL boys frolicking in the surf. That's new. Why does he keep his wife in an old bean can? And would an entire set of human ashes fit in a container that small? I've got my mom in an urn and it's significantly bigger than that. :) Maybe he spread half of her somewhere else... LuHui is overplaying the child-like thing, but the way he looks at his teacher and seeks his attention is sweet. I truly feel I'm watching a teenager experiencing his first crush. That is the worst sand castle I have ever seen. I enjoy amusing/sexy/goofy sight-gags like teacher pulling the covers back to reveal a naked LuHui, the carefully placed hand of a statuette concealing his man-member from the camera's lustful gaze. lol Teacher seems to have liked what he saw.
Lots of self-righteous tools hide behind empty "rhetorical scenarios" that mean nothing.
Are you suggesting Yoo Ah In, who in the U.S. would receive mandatory drug treatment and court-ordered, supervised probation for this addiction, would "reoffend" (Your use of the punitive "reoffend" as opposed to the medical, treatment-centered word "relapse" is noted.) before aKorean addict who was stupid enough to place themself within reach of Korea's backward drug laws? You are wrong and ignorant.
Supervised, court-ordered drug treatment WORKS. Statistics bear me out. Do some research Church Lady.
You seem to be a strong proponent of justice. Except for Yoo Ah-in. And people falsely accused of something -…
You're a coward.
You pontificated that "ALL crime disgusts" you, that "ALL crime is shameful," that "ALL crime hurts people," as if laws aren't subjectively written and imposed by governments made up of human beings; as if laws don't change all the time; as if many laws on the books all over the world aren't disgusting and shameful and hurtful to people. You drew no geographical or political boundaries clarifying where your disgust and shame end or begin.
Now you're skittering back away from your arrogant, brain-dead statements.
The laws that have Yoo Ah In in prison for at least one year, and is now pushing for FOUR, for the crime of being an addict, for engaging in acts that hurt no one but himself, that were facilitated by licensed doctors and hospitals, and for which he should receive treatment and supervised probation, not prison time, are what's disgusting and shameful.
As far as "hubris" goes, your self-righteous posing stinks of it. Most commenters here and I are on the side of mercy and justice; you're on the side of false morality and cruelty. You suck.
On edit: I live in the U.S. This country has on the book thousands of immoral, unjust, racist, unconstitutional laws. With our new dictator Trump now taking over, we're about to have thousands more. Because I have a conscience, a brain, and common sense, I support NONE of those laws and break as many as I can get away with.

Your stupidity and arrogance disgusts me. It's a crime in Muslim countries to be gay and many of them put men to death for it. Is being gay "shameful?" Does it "hurt people?" "Crime" is whatever idiots in power at a given time say it is and what is a "crime" changes all the time. I guess you're in favor of all of it, eh? Yoo hurt no one but himself, but your self-righteous ignorance allows you to pretend otherwise, apparently.
Anyway, I'm giving less time these days to arguing with Puritanical, suicide-enablers. Your kind is on its way out.
I was going to rate this 7/10 but bumped it up a half-point for the wonderful, natural, realistic kisses throughout 9-12. Quite a few lame elements here and there, but the cast is appealing and mostly actual young MEN, not boys, which is a nice change.
Last two episodes contained some eye-rollers and I don't buy the sister/ex-BF combo at all but whatever.
Often, when I encounter what feel like extremely unlikely character behaviors from gay men in a BL I think "female writer?" I see I was correct once again. The male director should have known better and fixed those problems.
7.5/10 Recommended only if you're kind of desperate for some BL content and in a forgiving state of mind.
