Someone explain to me what the sitch was with Habibi? I didn’t understand that whole arc.
Just one of the many toxic, sludge-covered relationships with hot men this nutjob put them through. Love at first sight-move in together the next day-become a bitter, mean bitch/sneak out while the other is asleep or berate them viciously in public.
" It was a very genuine representation of how dating works with everyone in real life." This is insane.
I wanted him to jump out the high-rise window of one of those enormous, luxury hotel rooms mysterious, dashing men are always whisking this nutcase off to.
One less abusive psycho to destroy other gay men's lives with their wildly neurotic words and deeds.
I just finished watching this series.I have an alternate title to share:IMPLAUSIBLE, IMPROBABLE, IMPOSSIBLE: A…
I am restraining myself from writing much at this point. I don't trust that what I type won't be wildly over-stated, emotional, and even obnoxious. Most importantly, I don't trust that the feelings and observations I write now will be the ones I feel in two or three days.
This one has to percolate.
The most dominant, overarching implausible, improbable impossibility is...
...that this guy, Ko Yeoung, with the below -listed characteristics:
Plain, even goofy facial features A Batman's Joker smile (I screamed a few times) Self-obsession Self-destructiveness Pathological impulsiveness Emotional and psychological abusiveness Mania Depression Lack of self-awareness (what he is obsessed with about himself is the opposite of what he actually is) Short-term memory loss (he repeats his "nuclear bomb"-level behaviors over and over, having retained nothing of how the just-prior relationships went down) Obnoxiousness Vicious cruelty Sociopathic lack of empathy Lack of butt cheeks Nascent alcoholism ARROGANCE,
nevertheless attracts an endless train of gorgeous men - from bartenders to millionaire businessmen - who, at first sight of his not-handsome face, fall madly in love and prostrate themselves at his feet, are smitten with a lightning bolt of passion, give him gold rings, desperately invite him to move in with them, offer to change their personalities to suit his whims, whisk him away to Bangkok on all expenses paid trips, run up and down staircases, frantically chasing after him at sweat-dripping full speed following one night of hook-up sex, on and on, etc., etc.
I DO NOT BELIEVE ANY OF IT.
The entire series is a sad fantasy, bringing to life the book and screenplay written by a man who apparently, shares all the above-listed characteristics with his MC. Nam Yu Soo if a fine actor, but he was horribly miscast for this role. Gay men do not instantly fall into wildly obsessive love at first sight with dudes who look and act like our lead. Especially when that lead is dead-drunk and smiling the frightening, gummy, rictus grin of Batman's Joker.
Sorry, they-we-do not do that. Nobody does that.
The second worst thing about this series is the plot, which is overflowing with the adjectives of my suggested, alternate title. Acting is generally fine. Direction is generally ham-handed, laden with try-hard, too-obvious attempts at visual and behavioral metaphors.
That's all for now. As I said above, I don't trust myself right now. :D
this comment is so weird... no parent in the world should hate their kid for simply loving someone. being gay…
Generally, I don't report people, because I like leaving their douche bagginess on full display for everyone to ponder. Plus, I feel like a tattle-tale when I do report.
I think I've done it only one time when someone trashed Lee Sun Kyun in a thread under news of his suicide. Horrible.
1. Perhaps he is mentally retarded. 2. Perhaps he is mentally ill, as in narcissistic personality disorder, manic depression, or inability to store long-term memories. 3. Perhaps he is psychopathic and cannot empathize with others. 4. Perhaps he will awaken and discover it was all a nightmare. 5. Perhaps he is simply an asshole.
To this point, the show has given me NO explanation as to why he does the same thing over and over, exactly the same way, leaving human wreckage along his path of destruction; so that I can feel the tiniest bit of humanity toward him, I can only conclude #5 is the best choice.
Lol. As someome who lives in Korea, this is totally common here though. People make and break relationships quickly.
You don't get it. He doesn't even see what he's doing. He simply repeats the same, exact behavior, going from ecstatic lover to grouchy bitch to cruel dumper. He not only "makes and breaks relationships quickly," he does so in exactly the same way each time, and each time he believes his own bullshit; right down to the worst part of all: he feels sorry for and weeps for HIMSELF as if what happened is a new thing and he didn't just deliberately crush someone's spirit.
Perhaps he is mentally ill and I'll find this out in episode 8. That would explain a LOT. Perhaps he had a brain injury and is unable to retain long-term memories, so he doesn't know he's repeating himself. He thinks each time is the first time.
BTW, I doubt young, Korean club-goers are any more promiscuous than anywhere else. What a limp explanation/excuse.
I like fucked-up, dark characters and stories. But what a lot of Korean movies do so well, especially in crime, mystery, and action films, is give me a reason to empathize with or understand, at least a little bit, why a vile, villainous person like this guy is the way he is and does the things he does. Thus, I indentify with and feel a tiny bit of humanity for, the awful turd.
This series gives me none of that. The guy is an asshole and I've no idea why, so I despise him.

IMPLAUSIBLE, IMPROBABLE, IMPOSSIBLE: A fever dream fantasy of self-delusion
I will give this show one thing: Of the multitude of Asian films/dramas/series I have ever watched, this one is effecting me the most powerfully.
That's not necessarily a good thing.

Unless of course, you're some dweeb trolling for yuks on the comment thread of a gay show, in which case f**k you also.
You're not an idiot. :)
