You are watching on a phone? I'm on a laptop and am getting the message to download the app. Is there a way to watch this on a desktop or laptop? I can't figure it out.

Thank you!

You are CORRECT. Thanks for refreshing my memory on all that. Can you enlighten me as to why she lives with her ex's family, especially since she has a real job and one would assume, can afford an apartment of her own?

I appreciate what you said about the tantrum at the table being about watching the guys have a relationship she (cruelly) told SP he wasn't capable of. I was thinking more along the lines of simple jealousy.

Exactly. Her thing for SP doesn't ring true for me. Didn't SP already tell her he was hot for Sean? I thought she knew he was gay. He's brushed her off more than once. Plus, she comes off as a few years older than SP. And then she's surprised Sean is there and acts like a b***h at the table? Nah...bad writing.

lol

Lee Jung Jae is spectacular in this film. However, unless I misunderstood the character, he seemed 15 years too old for the part. Same with Park Chul, who would have been more believable as those kids' grandfather than dad. Whatever, I loved the movie overall and both of them are great.

Great battle scenes; all the action and fighting seemed one hundred percent authentic. Well done.

Liam Neeson makes a great MacArthur, but was saddled with two or three painfully artificial propaganda speeches that should have been rewritten or cut. And what is it with Caucasian actors in Korean films? Their acting most often is wooden and unnnatural, like total amateurs.

I nitpick. Great war film. Highly recommended.

8.5/10

Got it. I understand. I thought the same thing. I mean, who wouldn't lock the door under those circumstances? And if you can't lock the door, then you need to cool your jets til later, right? lol I don't care, I loved seeing them make out and I was swoony, hot, AND bothered. :) I know what you're saying and if they ARE interrupted it will definitely be a cliche/trope/lazy writing.

I often feel that with a bit more time and care taken, writers should be able to come up with other ways to explain why a door wasn't locked, for example. :P

Oh, so you were trashing some OTHER celebrity whose private life is none of your business...got it. Bite me.

Ignore the usual self-righteous MDL Church Lady scolds below ("I CONDEMN cheating in the strongest terms but I'm going to watch this movie from start to finish anyway!" lol)

This is a thoroughly enjoyable comedy for grownups. By "grownups" I mean viewers who understand that movies don't exist to teach moral lessons to guide them in their life choices, and who can laugh at the mistakes of others when presented in a humorous way.

I laughed a lot.
Recommended.

8.5/10

On edit: Why in hell is this rated 18+? Sex scenes are mild and more for laughs than anything else. This is a soft R at most, more like a PG13. It's amazing how many MDLers are unbothered by horrendous violence and gore, but a light sex comedy twists their knickers asunder.

We're meant for each other. :D
I just paid attention to your screen name. Live in Chicago?

So, have you watched this flick yet?

Well, yeah...pretty much. That's what the "...and we gay men..." part was about. :)
In truth however, I prefer a nice butt to a nice wienie any day.

And here we are...running into each other again. What shall we argue about tonight? You have come to mind a few times over the last couple days. I've been exploring random "best/popular/whatever Asian movie" type lists, and the dreaded "Old Boy" kept popping up. hahaha...honestly, I just couldn't get into it. Plus, I truly felt I knew the twist when the ML/FL met in the sushi restaurant, so what was the point?

You may not believe me, but my fave movies are fucked up/weird/unusual/dark/disturbing/sexual/twisted, so you'd think Old Boy would be for me, right? Not so. It was like I hit a wall of some sort after they met and started hanging out. One thing I didn't buy was this young, super-beautiful, sweet woman being hot for the grungy, ugly dude. BUT...that's another thing, I instantly knew the writer was coming up with reasons for them not to have sex to draw out the suspense and set up the reveal, but her reasons for holding off felt contrived to me.

Anyway, a lot of people love OB and that's fine. I'm not one of them.

I watch FAR more Korean films than Japanese, but there are plenty of good JP films out there. When I saw Kora Kengo's name, I thought I'd try it. He's a favorite of mine. And yes, I very much would have appreciated some nude KK scenes. He is exceptionally beautiful.

I've never been able to stick with one of these robot BLs long enough to find out.

I have no idea but I'll try to find it for you.

oops, sorry. I got you mixed up with the BL Lover dude who's obsessed with incest and pedophilia.

This trope would be a lot hotter and more believable if the non-human was written as some kind of artificially-created but BIOLOGICAL entity. "Robot" sounds like there's a spring and a couple of large ball-bearings where a dude's junk ought to be.

Could you explain why this is "weird?"
Generally speaking, just because YOU think something is weird, doesn't mean the rest of the world agrees with you.

hahahahahahaha...

Non blood-related people in relationship is not incest.
Pedophelia is sex with or attraction to PRE-pubescent children. For you, that means children who don't have pubes yet. I'm pretty certain the young man in Kiseki has pubes.

Why are you obsessed with these things?

Regarding both shows, in neither case are the relationships incestuous. Why do you pretend it is?
