lol

idiot. lol I saw "Commitment" long before I knew anything about BIG BANG and through the entire film I was thinking "who is this amazingly intense and charismatic actor who I've never seen before?" After watching I looked at his bio and wondered why there was nothing after Commitment. Later I learned it was another stupid, mountain-out-of-a-molehill Korean "scandal" that took him down, over...get ready....smoking pot.

Korea needs to finish growing up and so do you. He is extremely talented.

Marijuana and dementia? Maybe if they smoked ten joints a day...meanwhile, Korea, with the highest rate of alcoholism and abuse in the developed world, drowns in Soju every night and no one cares. It's insane.

outrage troll...lol

Damn.
I haven't cried this hard at the end of a movie in a long time and I cry at the end of a lot of movies.
Our leads are a dream team of older/younger actor excellence. Both are phenomenally gifted dramatic AND comedic actors. In the first half of the film I guffawed out loud multiple times, and in the second half, even though I had a feeling where things were headed, I well, you know...

Maybe a tad heavy on the schmaltz a few times.
I have watched many war movies from all over the world and no one does the tragicomedy and insanity, yet inevitability of war as well as the Koreans. So many Korean films flesh out multiple characters so thoroughly that if something bad happens to any one of them it's heartbreaking...kind of like real war; made all the more poignant by the real-life madness/sadness of the Korean War and the peninsula's bitter divide to this day. Any fantasies of reunification are just that...fantasies.

That tanned skin made Yeo Jin Goo all the easier on the eyes. Wow.

Another excellent Korean war flick, this one as much comedy as action/tragedy. Recommended.

8.5/10

I mentioned in my OP that it's either some profound mystery yet to be revealed or simply bad writing. Right now I lean toward that latter; either that or LAZY writing. In other words, we could never get an explanation as these two unlikely, neigh impossible, situations are merely devices by which to set up the overall scenario. It wouldn't be the first time a BL pulled this stunt. I hope this isn't the case because in many other ways I like what I've seen here.

But yes, absolutely; normal young people would be pounding away nonstop even if they didn't like each other that much. I felt so bad for the skinny lead who jerked off so pathetically and alone in bed. His future lover is far more conventionally hot, but I find the scrawny one's narrow face, little hawk nose and thin lips inexplicably attractive. I want to take care of him; perhaps because he looks as if he might snap in two at any moment.

While I'm babbling here...do I have this element right?: These two have connected randomly via a mistyped email address, but of all the addresses in the world theirs just happen to belong to two guys who just happen to work in the same city/building/company? Is that it? Did I miss something? Is it maybe a mistyped address but with the same @__________ of the company? But if that's the case, wouldn't they both be curious and looking already to find out who within the company it is that they're talking to?

This is so confusing to me. In my eyes, all three are easily distinguishable, in particular, the slender one with the narrow face and distinct nose; he looks nothing like the other two. Or am I on drugs and don't know it? I thought I quit that 25 years ago but one never knows...

The girlfriend is sleeping around. There is no way she is unaware of the sexless status quo because she is the one who stopped wanting sex, moved the beds apart, and put a table between them. Also, she is the one who keeps REFUSING sex despite her "BF's" clear desire to engage in it. How could she not be aware of what SHE herself is DELIBERATELY doing, especially when whoever is schtupping her on the side puts his wanger inside her?

Oh yeah, she's banging someone else, or several someone elses, on the side.

What I find most implausible is that the BF lead has not called her on the sliding beds, the bedside table placement, or the persistent refusal to engage in sex. He doesn't seem to be a spineless wimp.

"The person..." lol

Ever the asshole, I see.

OK. We're good.
"Early in the morning." Where do you live? I promise I won't try to have you hunted down.

Hey, "this person" here.

First of all, calm yourself. Second of all, I NEVER watch Thai BLs 99% of the time because they are garbage. Not because of the sex, which is 99% hilariously/badly acted and fake as fuck, but because they are horrible in acting/direction/production/plot/dialogue/script and feel like high school kids playing grownup.

Oh, and Pinoy BLs are ALSO off the table. Nightmare City of bad acting, bad writing, horrible direction, screaming queens, and frightening trans women everywhere. I am gay af and pro all the colors of the rainbow, but for reasons unknown to me Philippine BLs seem to hire only ghastly trans women actors who behave like vicious, venomous drag queens rather than sassy women.

Thus, when I talk about BLs, I am talking almost exclusively about those out of Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. If you watch those, you'd know that they have continued, FOR THE MOST PART, until very recently, to be sparse and coy with the physical aspect of love, romance, and just plain sluttiness if that's in the story. NOT ALWAYS, but mostly. (I keep using all-caps because you seem to need those to help your comprehension along.) And I have NEVER seen one deal with the sexual loneliness/frustration of being in a sexless, one-way relationship as frankly as this show has in the first episode.

Does any of this help you get a clue?

I'd prefer you read this and then pretend I don't exist. Thanks.

Awww...tell your man hello for me and give him my best. Remind him for me how lucky he is to have you.

I wanted to clarify that with my "sex and romance can, do and should coexist together" comment I didn't intend to entirely dismiss casual sex as a valid option because it's not my place to do that. Sex for the sake of sex, no romance in sight, is a great choice for many though it almost never worked for me. It won't surprise you to hear that I find whole body/mind/spirit sex to be the only fulfilling kind. Early on, I learned that having sex with someone always immediately put me in a place where the physical and emotional were instantly in play as one. So casual hookups have long been rare for me. It leaves me empty. But not everyone is like me!

YES! I loved "Our Youth" and "See Your Love," the latter of which I almost dropped at the end of two episodes because it felt like a dorky Thai BL. Very glad I hung in there. I have to recommend a BL featuring slightly older characters called "Love Is Poison" on Netflix of all places. I discovered it by accident. If you don't have NF, it's also on kisskh. HIGHLY recommended.

There is a hysterically funny and well-done mini-BL being released tortuously in drips of 3.5-minute episodes more than a week apart for some ungodly reason. It is so well-produced, acted, and written that I gobble up those 3 minute eps as soon as I can get them. There will be just 10 eps for a total of 30 minutes altogether; I'm praying it's a fund-raising tease to put a full series together later.

The title says it all: "Dominant Yakuza and Wimpy Corporate Slave." lol It is a riotous parody played straight, but the leads are talented and have such charisma that it also has a hot heart at its center. I loved it from the first frame. Try it out on YT and you'll see why.

LOVED "See Your Love." Great how it evolved from a light fluffy thing to a fairly steamy thing with incredible connection between leads. I went through rolls of paper towels in my blubbering, often just at beholding the warmth and emotion between the MC. Oh, and the shower scene! wtf! :P I am in love with both lead characters, with Sean having the slight edge due to his beauty, combo of sass/sweetness, and vulnerability beneath it all. That sleeping in the closet scene in the final ep had me openly weeping, mainly at SP's complete acceptance in assuring Sean that however long it took him to stop sleeping in the closet, if in fact he ever did, was fine and dandy because they have all the time in the universe ahead of them...BLUBBER......

On edit: Also recommending "My Damn Business," a short BL only on Youtube. Damn, there's another one I recently wrapped up that's worth recommending but I can't recall the title just now. I'll get back to you. The last two months have spoiled me with great Jap, Korean, and Taiwanese BLs.

Bingo!

You ARE lucky!

Your ex partner sounds like a sweetie.

I think I just fell in love with your boyfriend too. :D

My longest relationship, which lasted seven years, was with a wonderful, sexy guy I loved dearly. But he is the type who, even though he is gay obviously, and even though he loved me dearly at the time, would have found my love of BL to be "weird," and would have let me know that. He is extremely uptight in a lot of ways and for that reason along with many others we parted ways eventually. Sadly, he was incredibly hot in bed, which is the thing I miss most about him. :)

So hang on to that loving man you've got. He sounds like a gem. And if you ever break up, let me know so I can urge him to go gay and give me a try. :D
