Simple: Don't put spoilers in a comment you can't hide behind a spoiler button.

I have seen numerous commenters on MDL who delight in placing spoilers in comments for all to see. It is annoying and entirely avoidable.

It's "literally" very rude and weird to not use the spoiler button for no reason.

I reply where I want to. Feel free to block me.

Thank you. I appreciate that very much. :)

Billkin has always had ten times the talent and presence of PP Krit.

Episode 6:

lol...meh. More of the same.
Jun Tae and Hyeon Tak should get a room, already. :)

On edit: Oh, and I thought drivers of vehicles who see pedestrians in crosswalks and hit their horns but don't bother to hit their brakes only drove the streets of Boys Love dramas. I was mistaken.

Please correct your comment below to hide your spoilers.
Oftentimes, a reader's eye scrolling down comments, will pick up the spoilers and be drawn to them before they see your "some spoilers!!" line.

Use the spoiler button please.

omg...how old are you? 12?

"it won't work." Jesus.
Use the spoiler button please.

And if it really "won't work" for you for some miraculous reason, then change your comment accordingly.

Episode 5:
Does this kid just not know there are hundreds of other students in his school who are not in any way involved with gangs, violence, etc.? Students who just go to class, study, take part in clubs, activities, and have normal friends? Apparently, not. If he is drawn to gang members/violent people, which he is, then I'd like the plot to address that self-destructive streak.

Sometimes, while watching this, I feel I want to let myself get pulled in, but right about then another cliche characterization/behavior/plot point gets thrown in my face and I'm right back where I was, watching from outside the story, frustrated with the lazy writing/direction/plot/acting.

Yakuza cosplay behaviors from every gang member.
Cliche mom who, even when she wants something good for the kid, makes it all about HER.
Cliche sending kid off to "study abroad."
Cliche kid in a coma with no medical personnel in sight. Ever. It's as though they WANT someone to sneak in and pull the plug on him.
Cliche clown white makeup on Korean actors.
Cliche drunk, abusive dad.
Cliche just-in-time event that prevents a fist/pipe/baseball bat/whatever from landing in an MC's face.
Cliche nonexistent, clueless teachers.
Cliche band-aids on cheekbones.
Cliche cuts in bottom-left corner of lips.
Cliche stupid cops.
Cliche...well, you get the point.

Fight choreography is awesome and well-performed.
Music is great.
Cinematography is excellent.
The above are beautiful wrappings, but the present inside, the story, is weak.

If Baku doesn't stop YELLING! to show us how jocular and fun he is trying to be, I may kill him.
Baek Jin has the kind of male beauty that fascinates me. At first sight, I found his features off-putting, but the more I see him, the more handsome he becomes. The profile pic of the actor, laughing, is stunning. He would make a great vampire.

OK, on to episode 6.

Use the spoiler button please.

Agree. This super-hero stuff wherein some dudes are inexplicably indestructible is just weak. The best fight films I've seen often feature an MC who regularly gets the living shit beat out of him, but somehow plausibly survives and triumphs. WHC1 had that quality, but here, it's become the same old silliness. The rooftop fight at end of 4 in this one included a hilariously impossible number of body/head/gut blows that would kill most people.

That this feels like countless other disappointing sequels to good movies or dramas is more surprising than usual because they are written and directed by the same guy. Often, the followup film is written/directed by different people, which explains a lot of fall-off. We don't have that explanation here.

Maybe he just took the Netflix money, whipped out a script, filmed it in 2 months, and called it good enough.

Episodes 3 & 4:

For me, two eps at a time is enough. Anymore than that, and the lack of originality becomes too overwhelming to ignore, which causes me to start rolling my eyes and snorting derisively. :)

Weak Hero: Class 1's psychological and emotional depth is almost completely missing here. Which means after about one and a half episode's worth of screen time, I begin to notice this is just another HS gang violence flick/drama like 100 others before it, and I start to zone out. WHC2 is fight/set-up-to-fight/fight/set-up-to-fight/fight-repeat/etc. Lame.

Also, after an episode and a half, I begin to keep track of how many absurdly violent blows have landed that would put in a coma or kill a normal human, or even Batman, or maybe Superman too. But here, the high school boys keep getting back up for more.

All the Yakuza cosplay smirking, posturing, attitude stuff is eye-rollingly cliche too.

I'm an artist and writer. I work for myself and set my own schedule, so I'm free to poke around the Internet as I wish.

MDL is the only site other than Facebook, that I visit regularly. I don't spend my days on social media or trash celebrity news sites, as many here do. Nobody questions them about why they're on IG all the time. Wonder why that is? :D

It is silly to pretend that leaving comments regularly here means you spend all day here. Imagine: I log in and see three reply notifications. I reply with "hello" or "f**k off" or "bite me" (paraphrasing). I sign off. How long does that take? Ten minutes?

I often get on the site in the evenings to seek out a film or drama on my watchlist. After watching, I often leave a comment and engage other commenters on the show's page. I don't see this as bizarre behavior.

The only people who tell me to "touch grass" or "get a job" or "get a life" are those who disagree with me or hate me for existing or a combination of both. :)

Most likely an American Trumper.
If so, I apologize on its behalf. Trump is a scum-sucking monster and I did everything I could to prevent his election; the outcome for which the entire world is now paying the price.

What the hell is a Trumper doing on MDL?
It is true, though, that willful ignorance and bigotry can spread its tendrils just about anywhere, like a fungus.

lol You just made me laugh. I might scare you in person, though. :)

Your observation is so true, to an extent.
I'm sure there are lots of MDL controversies on show pages of which I have no idea and am not interested in. However, if it's a page or topic that brings out the MDL Neo-Puritans, MDL Little Girls, Knetz Killer Klowns, SJWs, or PC speech police, you're likely to find me somewhere in the brawl.

All of this. Exactly.
Again pushing "Night Flight," ALL of the violence takes place outside or off school property completely...until that climactic, extended scene the story builds toward near the end.

There is milder violence/psychological bullying in a school restroom and in the classroom earlier, and it is there we see a lot of the growing tension and after effects of off-property violence, but there is none of this 20-minute-long-fight-that-tears-the-classroom-apart-but-not-one-school-employee-notices type stuff going on.

When that final scene takes place, there is plenty of explosive violence, some of the best-choreographed/realistic work I've seen, but it happens so fast no one could have stopped it, and the teachers who try to step in get pounded too.

I appreciate this conversation. Night Flight is my #1 favorite gay-themed film, and I've watched it at least four times. But until now I hadn't fully grasped that nearly ALL the blatant bullying takes place off-property, before or after school hours, and how important that is to the film's sense of plausibility. But it is just that.

Now I have an excuse to watch NF a fifth time sometime soon. :)

Typical.
Your "comment" presumes his guilt and that his career now has no future. This is why so many Asian celebs kill themselves out of despair. No matter what they do or prove in court, people like you will jump to conclusions and pronounce them cancelled.

Quit playing dumb.
