"They wrote as if they are "stating facts everyone should agree with."
Could you take a few moments of your valuable time to explain where in my comment above I did what you accuse me of in the quote above, and HOW and where I did that? A careful re-read will reveal, perhaps even to you, that I did no such thing.

Perhaps you feel...threatened and insecure and thus are listening to voices in your head instead of reading the words on your screen?

Oh gosh...there I go again...belittling and insulting. Dear me.

hahahahahaha...oh heavens help us, somebody somewhere disliked the work of a screenwriter and insulted them for it! How will the Earth continue to turn? How will the sun rise in the East tomorrow?

Actually, I believe " a first-time fujoshi-scribe slumming in BL world" is quite creative indeed.

All hail QueenB, hero and savior of the belittled, the insulted, and of screenwriters everywhere!

Oh dear...was that belittling and insulting toward you?

The hate doesn't bother me; considering the types it comes from it's actually a good sign. But I'm well aware it's there.
In truth, I have become much more restrained in reacting to the spitballs than I used to be. Brief retorts work best and take less time. :) And there's always the block option. :)

Thanks. :D

thanks. where did you see it?

Where did you watch it? And if what you say is true, who the hell added all the gay tags above before they even saw the show?

I won't. However, there are quite a few members here who wish I WOULD stop writing these, then have a bad day, and then die. :)

yah it does matter. A lot. Words have meaning. Use them correctly or stop commenting. It only showcases your ignorant self-righteousness.

It's what people like you find hot in the dark recesses of their minds, while pontificating about what other people should or shouldn't feel, that is the problem.

You don't know what "pedophilia" is.
Educate yourself.
Meanwhile, stop tossing around words you don't understand the meaning of.

Oh my god.
And "welp," (did you deliberately insert that word to make yourself sound...dim?), people are free to be simple-minded too.

You don't like to think...got it.
Stick to K-dramas. Films of this quality are wasted on you.

This twitter rant on steroids, your second in this conversation, IS beneath me. If you thought a near-endless string of pompous, snotty insults reacting to shit you made up in your head would get under my skin, you thought wrong.

It's revealing and hilarious that you see "I dare you to tell me a wrinkled collar is a designer choice," after asserting that very thing, as being an over-the-top challenge.

You're a fairly good writer. It is unfortunate you put your talents to use here in service to such poorly conceived nonsense.

It is all in HOW the stupidity, lack of communication, etc. is written that makes all the difference, and it is poorly written and cliche here. There is NOTHING understated going on here. If people can't communicate, write me a new/believable/intriguing reason WHY they can't. If people can't talk things through, convince me it is for believable, intriguing psychological or practical reasons I haven't seen before.

What's going on here is the simple BL tactic of showing us characters who don't communicate because that's what is in the script, nothing more.

Another aspect often overlooked is that inexplicable, hard-to-believe behavior on a page with drawings and thought balloons can be believable there in a way it simply is not when transformed into live action, a necessarily much more REAL environment.

It's much easier to believe a psycho character acts psycho and a gullible character doesn't tell them to fuck off on paper, because paper, balloons, and drawings are an abstract world. It takes hard work and creativity to put that same story in a live-action format and make it work. More BLs than not fail at this. But with undemanding, lazy viewers like you, they don't need to try very hard. I'm guessing they're thankful for your low standards.

You think you're deeply intelligent and discerning. You're not. You're an excuse machine for lazy BL writing, nothing more.
You accept lazy/bad/uncreative productions because you are a lazy-minded viewer, desperate to justify whatever's placed before them if it has a BL tag.

I don't lower my standards much just because something has a BL label. You do. You're condescending. I'm not.

I have seen and loved many BLs. I have a list of 30 of the best; almost none of which contain trip/fall/catches or other lame cliches unless they are in the earliest BLs, fish kisses, hair adjustments, bad acting/directing/costuming, etc.

Gaping collars, poorly-knotted ties, un-pressed shirts and a dozen other problems are not the result of a costumer showing an oversized look as a style choice, it is the result of sloppiness and inattentiveness. I dare you to tell me a wrinkled, bunched-up, gaping collar is a "designer" styling choice. Even better, you're asserting this sloppy costuming work is part of a deep, psychological message being sent by the writer/director/show. hahaha

Anyway...I'm a bot, automated response system, so you probably shouldn't waste time responding.

I AM an automated response system bot, put here to annoy you. I'm gratified to know from your comment that my work is being appreciated.

Since you used quote marks, which mean things, please point out the quote where I said any show anywhere was "too gay." Your doing so will improve my algorithm. Thank you.

Well, it's not just oversized, it's poorly-fitted. In other words, they pulled something off the rack meant for a much larger guy but didn't tailor it to his body. Two of the jackets had clumps of excess cloth around the neck/over the shoulders as a result. These details always leap out at me so it's distracting. Thing is, this is not a bare-bottom budget show, so the costumer is not doing their job and should be canned.

As for the acting, I actually think the Goofball nice one is not doing a bad job. The other three...please. But that's me. You do you. :)

Well can't agree about the acting being good, but your comment was fun to read. :) I'm back next week for these twisted psychos and to see how they got this way. Thing is, I've a feeling that's not going to really play out as believable...WAY too often BL writers, especially women BL writers, come up with the lamest reasons on Earth why guys make bizarre decisions or do 180s in their characterizations, the most common one being "I loved you so much I wanted you to be happy so I left you without telling you why or saying goodbye so that could make you happy by making you miserable...or something something something...and oh by the way, I have to study abroad now for ten years. When I return I will act like it's strange that you're avoiding me. Like, chill, OK?"

lol F**k off.

Question: How do you see a 7.7 rating as "low," especially given the awful/amateur acting, etc.?

I agree about the exciting fucked-upness of it all, but it is SO badly written, acted, directed, etc....I was going to drop it until near the end of ep 2 when it became clear how deeply evil and psycho the Twins are. Now I have to see at least one more episode. I live for twisted shit.
