I just saw a clip from this on YT and added it to my MDL watchlist. lol I normally dislike almost everything out of Thailand, especially the lame BLs they've been pumping out the last two years at the rate of 50 a week, but this thing actually looks so stupid and slapstick-hilarious I'm going to give it a shot.

Damn, the soldier dancing in the barracks bath house in the clip, is sexy af even if he's not that great a dancer. Actually, the fact he's not that great with the moves just makes him seem hotter and more masculine. Wowza!

Your mama.

Oh, look who's back here replying to little ol' me again. lol
It's clear that you're crushing hard...it's OK, Kylie. Lots of people crush on me, especially ones who try so hard to pretend they aren't doing so. You're like a pathetic BL character.

lol "...worked up and crying..." Yeah, that's me, for sure.
In my OP above I clearly stated that I dropped it at 2:41 of the first episode. Can you not read?
And here you are again, unable to ignore or block me.

"Get a grip and drop the damn thing." Seems YOU are the one getting "worked up," Kylie. I dare you not to respond to this comment.

Oh gosh, really? This is FICTION? I didn't know that.

I'll say what I want, thanks.

There is something super-lame about people who tell others to "move on," but don't "move on" themselves. Ignore my comments or block me if you're that butt-hurt.

oh, I don't know, perhaps because this is another, vomit-inducing piece of rancid fluff out of Thailand, the rancid fluff BL-making capital of the world...?

Well...I agree with about a third of what you wrote and disagree with the rest. But I'm not here to try to change your mind.

But I do want to point out that you, like a lot of other people, focus on what he was CHARGED with, and not what he was convicted of, which are very different things. He was NOT convicted of "rape," but you speak as if he was.

I have no opinion about the trial becoming a military one upon his enlistment because that just sounds bizarre to me. However, quite a few things about Korean culture/society are bizarre to me (I'm American), so this is just one more. I can't imagine someone in the U.S. being on trial for something which happened to overlap when they were due to enlist, and it automatically becoming a military matter. wtf? I'm pretty sure here the enlistment would be delayed until the civilian trial was over.

I will admit that part of the reason I am glad he has come out of this in one piece, served his time, and so far has not killed himself, is because WAY too many Korean entertainers/artists who were put through similar "scandals" ended up killing themselves. I'm glad to see someone say "fuck you" to the Netizen/suicide-enablers who would love to see him end up in a box.

Maybe you can help me with something. Are you Korean, btw? Since I heard of the Burning Sun thing, I've done a lot of research on it online. I watched a number of group interviews with Big Bang during which the other members openly dragged Seungri and criticized him for his lifestyle, implied he was hanging with gangsters and other bad people, etc. And the said this a LOT.

WHY would the Big Bang producers/managers/production company allow them to continue bringing that shit up if they didn't think it was somehow serving the commercial interests of Big Bang as a profit-making brand? We all know idols don't get to do whatever the fuck they want and say whatever they want to say in such situations. It's all controlled from above. I'm wondering...did Big Bang management think the negative discussion of Seungri's lifestyle and activities fed a desired perception of him as the "bad boy" of the group and more generally an ongoing dramatic behind-the-scenes narrative for fans to obsess over?

Because, again, these guys don't get to just say whatever they want. Especially not as many times as they said it, and with Seungri sitting right there. It doesn't make sense.

Sure, if you say so.

Do YOU watch/read/research anything non-hysterical and factual?
He was NOT convicted of "rape." You are a liar.

The violations of which he was found guilty, as opposed to what psycho Netizens and people like you gossip about online, are highly technical in nature.

An appeals court reduced his sentence by half. I think they know more about this than you do. I believe Seungri pleaded guilty to crimes he did not commit at that time, so as to get the reduced sentence. I'd say I did shit I didn't do too if it meant getting out of jail 18 months early.

Another thing people like you do is treat women as if they're helpless, brainless little children, with no agency or decision-making powers of their own. If a woman chooses to sell her body for $$$, and someone else plays the middle man, she is at least as responsible for the "crime" as he is. Prostitution should be legalized anyway. It's only been around for thousands of years and isn't going anywhere. Might as well regulate and tax it.

Were any of the actual, you know, PROSTITUTES charged and tried? Not that I can find.

I'm glad he's out and doing well. He didn't kill anyone, and talking dirty in chat rooms is something you've probably done. Who cares?

Oh that's right...you're the "North America is imploding" fanatic. Yes, well, as we circle the drain, why don't you bring yourself up to date on Korea's booze problem. The country has more alcoholics than ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

AGAIN: ALCOHOL IS A "DRUG."

"The Country With the World's Worst Drink Problem:
https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2016/2/7/the-country-with-the-worlds-worst-drink-problem
"Alcohol and its abuse costs Korea approximately $20 BILLION per year."

Here's another good takeaway: "On average, South Koreans consume 14 shots of hard liquor a week, while Americans drink about three and Russians about six, according to Euromonitor statistics."

There are zillions of other resources for this information online, if you don't like mine.

Is your cluelessness deliberate or just a result of laziness?

They served prison sentences. Almost all of the accusations against Seungri turned out not to be true. Do you read at all?

"Zero" tolerance is BS. The U.S. government has been fighting a zero-tolerance "war on drugs" since 1980 or so when the wife of the moronic President Ronald Reagan came up with her "Just Say No" campaign. We see how well "just saying no" has worked which, 44 years later, is not very well.

There are still idiots here who think marijuana is a "gateway" drug and all that bullshit.

I'll ask again, since people here I've asked haven't answered: Where is Korea's "War on Soju?" I guarantee you alcohol in all its forms, vomited up by salary men in the alley ways of Seoul every night, has a profoundly greater destructive effect on Korean society than any other drug.

I already acknowledged that vigorous exercise has mood-lifting effects. However, they wear off after a few hours, and are not a permanent solution to severe depression and anxiety. I don't care what "one patient" said, I'm talking about what happens in most cases.

I have dealt with depression/anxiety most of my life. I've read tons of material on the subject. I know what I'm talking about. You are pushing an anti-medication agenda because, I assume, you are uninformed and think ALL drugs are evil. Do you live in Korea?

I also walk vigorously several times a week (my knees aren't up to running). That is a positive thing to do but it is not the reason I am still alive.

Psych drugs for depression save thousands of lives every day and discouraging patients from using them kills people.

Good thing you're not Yoo's psychiatrist or therapist. He'd be dead already.

Are you serious? Tell me you're not serious, please. You have no idea what you are talking about. Your comment is ill-informed and dangerous. "Just take a jog, you'll get over it." Clinical depression and severe anxiety disorders are DISEASES, not mild annoyances easily overcome by a swim or a weight-lifting session. Statements like yours diminish the legitimacy of psychological illnesses and make people less likely to seek treatment. It's like saying "Don't cry, just smile. Be happy. Get over yourself." to someone who is in a pit of despair they can't climb out of.

Yes, exercise is good for the mind as well as the body, but the mood-lifting effect is temporary and wears off after a few hours. Exercise does not "cure" anything, least of all depression and anxiety, which to the extent YAI experiences them, are caused by chemical imbalances in the brain. He needs meds and talk therapy and yes, maybe exercise. But the latter is the least important of those three.

Very much so. Which is why I keep hoping he has a strong friends/family support system helping him through this. But doesn't he look great in that three-piece suit. Very sharp.

Is this reply yet another "disinterested observation?"

I repeat: "I'm interested in why you don't care about the destructive effect alcohol has on Korea and its people, and yet you're a self-righteous crank on pot and Propofol. And you STILL haven't answered as to why that is."

From the outside, it's impossible to know. I just hope he has friends/family at his side.

Alcohol is a DRUG, Atom. I'm interested in why you don't care about the destructive effect alcohol has on Korea and its people, and yet you're a self-righteous crank on pot and Propofol. And you STILL haven't answered as to why that is.

I've no doubt Soju abuse has a far greater destructive impact on Korean society than any other drug, yet you don't give a shit. Interesting.

"Emotional outbursts..." lol Good to know I hit a nerve. I think I bother you a lot. :)

Gangnam.

Hey Atom, did you know there's this thing called the "Internet?" No, really, it's cool. You can do this thing called "research" and also another thing called "reading" on this Internet thing.

Oh, you can also "view" videos about subjects you're researching on this amazing website called Youtube.

So, you see, dear Atom, you don't have to actually GO to the bottom of the ocean to learn a LOT about the Titanic. You can research, read, and view materials about it on this Internet thingy. It's true!

In fact, by doing this, people often become more knowledgeable about various topics, places, and people than those who are right in the middle of all this with their heads stuck up their asses.

It's telling you have no response to my question as to why you're not in a tizzy over Korea's massive ALCOHOL problem.

Finally, it's hilarious that someone who wrote the ignorant, judgemental, and insulting comments you left above, is concerned about rudeness. lol Give me a break.
