Holy shit, this is so bad it's good. Yes, that kind of show.
Thank goodness I had read through comments below and knew to start skipping ahead from the beginning, looking for bare skin and sex scenes. I did watch enough of some early non-sex scenes to know just how bad the acting and direction are. Good god, high school level or worse, all the way.
So, I got thru eps 1 & 2 in almost no time, except for that stupid shower scene, which was made bearable only by the hot flesh on display. Can anyone enlighten me on what the thin string around BeBoy's waist is about? But the absurdly ridiculous excuses for both of them to get wet were just so incredibly lame I felt sorry for the actors having to act them out.
Anyway, finally in 3 we got some sex and again, great bodies to enjoy looking at. However, would someone please fill this director in on the fact that gay sex provides many more options than either 1: kissing, or 2: f**king? What about blow j**bs, frottage, butt-munching, handjobs, etc? And how is it we all knew from the very beginning that the bleach-blonde twins would be pure bottoms and nothing else? lol :D Thai BLs code their top/bottom roles very rigidly. You can tell on sight who is going to be schtupping whom. hahaha
Furthermore, am I the only one here who wishes young men in general, but especially young actors, would stop shaving their pubes? eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwww...it's like watching two freakishly tall, muscular seven-year-old boys go at it.
Then there's the matter of the bad sex-acting...lol...have these guys never had sex? All the facial expressions were right out of a bad porn film and SO fake that it was comical. I was never sure if I was meant to be turned on or amused by their gyrations and hilarious faces. Which leads me to another technical matter: the gyrating bodies were frequently positioned in such a way that there is no way any penetration was actually taking place. This show was in desperate need of a sex-scene choreographer.
The "plot" is so lame as to be non-existent. I think I FF thru 85% of the show.
Thing is, I think all four of these guys could potentially be good actors if they had a good director. All of them, but especially BeBoy, were clearly on board to do whatever they were told, and to take the scenery-chewing as far as they could, but that kind of thing needs to be controlled and directed. BeBoy mostly comes off as obnoxious, but I think if well directed, he could be an effective comic actor. Much of the time, all four seemed more than a bit retarded.
OK, so really bad but worth it for bare skin and badly directed but somewhat hot soft-core porn scenes.
5/10, but I don't think it was trying to be any better than this.
"Korean media needs to quit giving out-sized focus to these homo-hating netizens and their stupid comments. How about ignoring them? Because doing such a reasonable thing would undermine the opportunity to whip silliness like this up into a mountain when it's a molehill.
There's a fascinating dichotomy here: On one hand, the Korean entertainment industry is churning out fabulous, quality content that international fans all over the world are eating up; at the same time back home in Korea, the public (supposedly) is about 100 years behind the rest of the world when it comes to social/cultural issues. I say "supposedly," because Korean media, this video included, thrives on magnifying controversy. Doing so makes for more clicks/views/exposure and more $$$.
Thus, after watching this video I have no better idea of how BIG the negative backlash really IS in numbers, than I did before. I believe that is a deliberate choice on the part of the producers of vids like this. Keeping issues murky and seemingly deeper/larger than they are is good for business.
If we were told that comments were running 20-1 in SUPPORT of Nam Yoon and LITBC over negative ones, we'd realize there IS no controversy, and then what would the entertainment scandal rags in Korea report on? So, someone tell me, is the "backlash" significant, or just the few, usual netizen, backward homo-haters spewing their bile online? Who knows?"
It has a $2 per month membership fee which I find it to be well worth, as I've found lots of bl and gay short films, series and movies I otherwise wouldn't even have heard of. So you'd probably need to sign up to see the series. Sometimes a show is free to anyone though. Yes, it is safe
I just finished this yesterday and there wasn't anything sexual between the twins.
I LIKE that they are twins. I wish they had full-on b**t sex right there on the floor. That would be interesting and hot as hell. Even better, it would give you another excuse to self-righteously proclaim your prudery here, sporting a teeny boner all the while.
oh thank god, I thought maybe I was a freak...this thing is horrendously bad, but the guy in black is beautiful. He looks more Korean or Japanese than Thai. I'll have to check his bio.
Exactly why would you spoil the entire plot with this comment?Use the spoiler button please.
oops, thanks for pointing that out. lol I fixed the comment. Thing is, when I first wrote the comment, the spoiler was still NOT behind a button, so my repeating it made no difference one way or the other. But yes, now that the offending party has corrected their oversight, you are absolutely right. Thanks for pointing that out. :)
" I prefer going in totally blind and have to blur my eyes and fast forward through so many plot/relationship-revealing intros it drives me a bit crazy, not that anyone asked."
WE ARE TWINS! :D When watching series, I often stop the video before previews for the next episode. lol On occasion, after beginning a watch, I will pause and re-read a synopsis if I'm not clear on the setting, year, location, etc., but that's about as much as I like to know too. There are so many trailers that give away tons of spoilers in my view, so I rarely watch those either. :D
This is a brilliant series so far. Truly. "It is not my fault that I'm more beautiful than all the girls, that…
I loved the three girlfriends yukking it up at his mom's place. I can't find the year this is set in anywhere. Is it possible it's the early 90s and the blonde wig friend is mirroring Madonna's look in the music video for "Deeper and Deeper," from the "Erotica" album which released in 1992? Because that's what instantly came to my mind when I saw her.
But..., they aren't trans women? They are just guys who like other guys. Like, bro, is that hard to imagine?
I will always be your faithful shield, B! :D
As for your comment, as usual you say much of what I'm feeling but do so much better than I ever could. :)
Of course, I know zero about all the intricacies of the Japanese pronouns and other word usages, and the subs where I'm watching are so bad as to be amusing, but not so bad that I can't get the general gist of what's being said. But some lines are SO ridic that I laugh out loud.

Don't apologize. Adaptations are not automatically identical to the source material. I wish a lot of MDLers would accept that instead of entering each thread with "...BUT IN THE MANGA...!!!!"

An unexpected layer of entertainment!
