Indeed! At least Bong Joon Ho and others did that after the suicide of Lee Sun-kyun.
Yes, I applauded that as well. However, I've yet to see anything come of it since the two blackmailing hostess/jailbirds were handed over for prosecution last August. I want to see some POLICE investigators/leakers/assholes and media murderers charged.
Yes, in the original Korean story, she was a very very young mother. He thinks that he is protecting her and would…
OK, but again, if she left the dad because he was beating her and her son, but left the son behind to suffer and pretends she doesn't know what's going on, she sucks. Bitch. I wish it had been made more clear that she really is his mom who birthed him as a teenager. Without that background, I honestly thought she was maybe his older sister. I'm not a fan of writing that requires one to have read the source material to know what's going on. That should be provided in the adaptation. A couple quick flashbacks would take care of it.
this statement hurts but I strongly agree with you. for the past month, Taiwanese BL is kind of slacking off.…
Oh god, I LOVED that quirky, hilarious "Stay By My Side." lol It's on my top 30 BLs list. :)
I enjoyed The Only One until for me it copped out, crashed and burned in the final few eps. I rated You Are Mine 8.5/10.
My take on See Your Love is quite different. I almost dropped it after the first episode, as it too had a lot of Thai-like vibes, but after that it did a 180 on me and I binged every freaking episode that had been released and subbed. I left lots of comments about my about-face on its page if you're interested.
I'm a tough customer for any BL and I drop lots of them, but in short, SYL's two leads, their chemistry and interaction, and the acting of ALL the supporting cast, turned me around. As the MC's relationship developed, their close and personal scenes had me tearing up with feels... which is what it's all about.
And for the most part, the goofy, Thai-like aspects actually worked, in a way they don't when done by Thailand. :)
YES, love the assistant/baby Yakuza bit. So sexy. My fave line in the entire show so far was "Prettier than me?" spoken by the assistant to the "puppy. " lol I laughed so loud my neighbors pounded on the ceiling
I'd like to see the same sort of strong response every time SK's corrupt cops and media machine drive another Korean celebrity to suicide with harassment and abuse.
To anyone who thinks Korea is a democracy, it is not.It's a US vassal state.Their history is of dictators.The…
hahahahahahahahahaha...yes, the U.S. is behind every nefarious development in the entire world. You are correct that the U.S. heinously supported a series of horrendous SK dictatorships, to our everlasting shame, but the U.S. is also the reason SK is not NK. Kim Jong Un thanks you for your support. lol
BTW, this wasn't a "coup." It was an ATTEMPTED coup that lasted all of six hours, played out like an episode of Keystone Kops, and will end with the resignation and possible arrest of the dumbass president who tried this.
Oh, and the "history of dictators" ended over 34 years ago. Do try to keep up.
Where did the video we see ChanGyu viewing at the beginning come from? Did the ex send it to him? Did he stumble across it some other way? So Min Cheol was a call boy, yes? Or maybe still is? If not, why isn't he picking up the phone in front of CG? The back of the caricature...do I understand that MC originally had it made for somebody else and was regifting it to CG? If "meet me at the church" means MC was once banging someone else at the church in the military... But that doesn't make sense if they're both going off to the military. You're only in for one time around...I don't get it. Or is only CG going off to the military?
Annoying as fuck when subbers don't sub texts, emails, or other written materials like the back of the caricature...
This is well acted, though of course, melancholy if I'm reading this correctly. Except that it is annoying af…

If someone better understands than I all that went down here, please fill me in, ok? :)
Are you f**king kidding me? This looks to be completely awesome. lol
I've only watched eps 1-3 on YT with eng subs. The versions that supposedly have stitched together all eps 1-10 are an audio/playback nightmare, completely unwatchable. The total of ten minutes I was able to watch are OFF THE CHART funny, witty, sexy (without anything the least bit sexual having happened yet...I can just feel it in the air though), beautifully directed, and well-produced.
The two leads are excellent in their portrayals...this needs to be fast-tracked as a full-blown series ASAP. The baby Yakuza hard-ass is a young version of one of Japan's best actors, Ayano Go, with fuller lips, which is a good thing. The wimpy corporate guy somehow pulls off nerdy/weak/hot.
omg...this so very deeply sucks. Terrible. Juvenile.
It's Thai-like, the worst of all possible BL things a show can be. I'm currently watching "See Our Love," and while it is out of Taiwan; it too showed Thai-like tendencies in episode 1. But it quickly shook them off and has become a truly great BL, unlike this monstrosity.
All of Japan should be on its knees, arms extended, head to the bamboo mat in shame, begging forgiveness for this dorky flop. I hate to see anything out of Korea, Japan, or Taiwan suck because with Thailand and the Philippines producing only crap, they are our only combined hope for decent BLs.
It isn't. This is the doctrine of the left, Kamala said it so many times you believe it. Without an us and them…
I'm American and a huge fan of Korean movies and cinema, and you're 100% correct that it is weird af to randomly bring up Kamala Harris here as if she or this Trumper's paranoid fantasies have anything to do with this issue.
That said, I wish the original actor, a fave of mine, had not withdrawn; though we have no way of knowing if his doing so had anything at all to do with the content of the adaptation. Actors pull out of projects (and people) all the time.
By the way, where was your child during all this?
I wish it had been made more clear that she really is his mom who birthed him as a teenager. Without that background, I honestly thought she was maybe his older sister.

But yeah, SK is a vassal state of ours.
