Skimming comments, I gotta say, there is nothing quite like a thread of delulu Thai BL fans arguing over the quality of ANYTHING in shows coming out of that country. Turning out 50 BLs per week is not a recipe for excellence. :)
He brought that old man aura to life in Moonlight Chicken and what's with your obsession with Earth acting as…
You're delusional. The commenter above complimented Earth's acting and said nothing about his face. Your defensiveness betrays your lack of objectivity.
But sleeping is much worse even it's only one time...if not sleeping with other you can always start over but…
ACTIONS speak much louder than thoughts which one doesn't manifest outwardly. You seem to be imagining another person during sex as a transgression equal to actually having sex with that person you're thinking about, and that is absurd.
I guarantee you that the vast majority of people who have sex with one person for a long time, end up fantasizing about lots of things, including other people, during sex. It's human and normal. As long as you don't go fuck those people, so what? They're only thoughts, and in a lot of cases allowing those thoughts to play out in one's mind can help keep people from seeking other partners.
Hmmm...I'm not one who hesitates to drop series that don't grab me within an episode or two. I had no problem…
Gotta love commenters, and there are a lot of them on MDL, who respond to my having dropped a series and down-rated it after two episodes with "How DARE you drop and rate this without watching the whole thing?!!! As if up to two hours isn't enough time to give me a reason to keep watching.
Hell, there are many I've dropped within the first hour. You can smell something rotten pretty quickly in most cases.
And we're on MDL, so naturally the rating is a joke. Ignore it.
I am hard to please, especially when it comes to dramas, as most of them often feel like half the story is there to fill out the requisite number of episodes. I'd rather see good stories told in a tightly-focused couple of hours than stretched out over eight or ten or twelve. This is not a problem here.
Kai Ko, JC Lin, and the extremely versatile, little Jian He Wu are stellar here, and the FL is very good, though her tiny stature and wraith-like figure made her seem younger than her character at times.
It took me a while to get into this but I'm glad I stuck it out. If anyone is struggling to get through the first…
Hmmm...I'm not one who hesitates to drop series that don't grab me within an episode or two. I had no problem with that here, and it got better and better with time.
the gangster guy undergoes the most character development) not that i'm an expert, but seems like an interesting…
Absolutely agree! He was my favorite character, as well. It was fun, not only to see his character grow and change over the episodes, but to see him and __________ get more and more screen time too.
The actor is Jian He Wu. Be sure to see him in the excellent "A Sun." You will not believe it is the same guy. He is very talented.
It was a shock that he decided to murder his lover just because he ignored him in front of his fiance and parents…
The last 60 seconds of the film tell us all we need to know about what's next: All is forgiven and they love each other still. Too bad for you that you can't grasp what's right in front of you.
This is what I think everytime someone's life is ruined bc it's exposed they used drugs (especially marihuana,…
I'm talking about group appearances/interviews long BEFORE the Burning Sun thing came to light. Distancing themselves in advance of the "scandal?" Seems far-fetched, but perhaps you're correct.
This brought nothing new to the table regarding the subject of prostitution.' If the idea was to expose the viewer to this underground world, it didn't do that effectively either.
Surprising even myself, I chose to watch "My Mister," which I'd not seen before, a couple months after LSK left us. Somehow, it was comforting, more so as I watched, to see him over an extended period as he was in life.
As horrendous as celebrity suicides in Korea are, it's useful to remember that Korea as a whole has the highest rate of suicide among developed nations, in the entire world. It's not even close. I don't remember which country is #2, but they're far below Korea's rate. So celeb suicides can be seen as an extension of the problem, which is society-wide. There is insane levels of pressure to succeed in ALL things in Korea. Combine that with the culture of shame alongside it and you have a perfect recipe for people in the public eye to feel doubly shamed and pressured when something negative occurs.
The Korean media and so-called "Netizen" monsters are all-too happy to feed the ravenous frenzy that we saw end in LSK's lonely death, and they've done it over and over, and will again. From what I've seen of late regarding two tempest-in-a-teapot "scandals" in kpop, I fear we may have another death soon.
Then there's Yoo Ah In, who the press/media/police have been raking over the coals for at least a year. I hope he makes it out the other side OK.
Overlong, pretentious but often beautiful, bloated mess. Boring for a long stretch in the middle, then became mildly interesting again but I had to hang on by a fingernail to finish it. Some gorgeous cinematography and lots of unique camera work. The male leads should have had the focus, that's where the chemistry was. There was none where the film seemed to want me to think it was. FL is awful. This is the second, possibly good movie she ruined for me. There are no philosophical questions presented here that haven't been done to death a thousand times before.
Story and script are a mess. Makes zero sense. Two male leads are handsome, seem to have acting talent, and great chemistry between them. Cinematography is nice, which is a waste in service to such a train wreck screenplay.
These are the most appealing Thai actors I've seen since the leads in Moonlight Chicken.

Your attitude is immature in the extreme.
