It's...interesting that as a former performer, you enthusiastically support AI replacing humans in writing and performing music and vocals. Is it that you're retired, so you are unconcerned about humans being driven out of the arts? Is it that you were a live performer, so you assume your job would have been safe even if AI had existed in your day? I'm curious to know...
This is a badly written, poorly plotted, and horrendously directed, silly micro-budget little thing, and yet here I am sniffling at the end.
That's purely due to the two leads, who somehow rose above the aforementioned problems and touched my old, shriveled heart. Kim Ji Woong was born to play a vampire, and he's a talented actor. Extra points for not only playing gay, but also convincingly kissing a dude while being a Kpop idol. Yoon Seo Bin's part is much more conventional and he too often falls back on cutesy acting cliches, but overall he's good, too. Check them out in the BL series, "Roommates of Poongduk," which is much, much better than this.
7/10 Without the saving graces of the lead actors, this is a 3/10 at most.
Seriously, fuck Korea and its bizarre, wildly unforgiving culture of "scandal," wherein news that you bullied someone a decade ago is sufficient to wreck your career. Ridiculous.
This guy was great in Roommates of Pongdook. I wish him all the best going forward. I'm happy to see he's been cast in Kissable Lips 2...at least til some Knetz freak accuses him of saying "poop" out loud during elementary school recess.
Episode 7: Yeah, right...after that confession, they spent the night in separate bedrooms...? Sure they did. 🙄😅 The way Kim Ji Woong is playing someone in love for the first time is beyond adorbs. Wow, KJW kills it in this show. Much admiration for him going all-in a gay BL role despite his "idol" status. Yeon Soo Bin also kills it here. I'll be looking for more of his work going forward.
I've no idea how this show escaped my notice back in 2022.
Sadly, it makes sense that, from now on, Natsuki would want to keep himself from falling in deeper with someone who's about to be gone for what I presume will be four years of college. There are plenty of other guys who'd be proud to date Niko-chan. 😊 And it would be good for him to become more comfortable with himself and being gay during those four years. NOT a good idea to assume your first gay crush has to be your husband for life.
I often struggle to believe the "I wasn't gay until I met this specific person" routine in BL plots. My experience is that I was already crushing on other boys in grade school. I was always gay, but I knew instinctively to keep that to myself out of self-preservation. Then too, a lot of us go through a stage in coming out during which we tell ourselves and others the "I wasn't gay until..." fib. It buys time for us to get more and more comfortable with ourselves and sort of blunts the sharp edge of announcing to everyone that "I like dick and always have." 😁
Episode 9: Why is Dad freaked out by perfectly normal/innocent pics of two guys flashing V-signs in a photo booth? It's not as though they had their tongues down each other's throats. 😅
Dad thinks homos are taking over Japan. 😮 Thank god for moms and sisters; we gay men would be f**ked without them. Love how Sota is facing the news matter-of-factly, without panic. That child is beyond adorable...and a good actor!
Not a fan of these characters getting their advice from ChatGPT...is this show sponsored by Mark Zuckerberg and Elon? Rock's wearing a rainbow dog collar. 😉
That was quick, but given the time constraints of the show, it did a good job of portraying the journey to acceptance from someone of Dad's age and mindset. I do feel empathy for those in his position, as long as they're not beating their kids with golf clubs and disowning them. Some Asians of that generation and older struggle to believe that homosexuality even exists.
Oh, for f**k's sake..."studying abroad? REALLY, writers, that's the best you could do? 🙄
SEQUEL!, beginning when Sota returns and confesses to Niko-chan. 😁
This is the young woman who was wasting away a couple of years or so ago, yes? Can someone link me to a trustworthy source of info on what was REALLY going on with all that? Thanks.
He wrote a letter for his family. Anyway It's not our business.
I'll repeat: It's no more a private matter than a murder or an automobile accident death. I'll repeat this, too: Your attitude is part of the suicide problem in Korea. No one wants to talk about it, which exacerbates the problem. Plus, the public always knows when a celeb dies by suicide, anyway.
Second watch after ten months. There's a good idea here, and we're WAY past due for a twins-themed BL in which the brothers are both schtupping the same guy, but the execution here is a hilarious mess.
The attempt at a sex scene represented by shadow puppets was a hysterically funny miss. 😅
In truth, I enjoyed it this time and I'm again impressed at the special effects when both twins are in the same scene. I couldn't spot a single flaw.
First time around, I gave it a 6/10. This time it's a 7/10 for effort.
Love this comment. I can always rely on you to bring the vision and depth of thought to the party. Adding to my…
I'm happy too, that most of the time when I'm on MDL and thinking of dear Maggs, as I called her from time to time, it's with a smile now.
Until a few weeks ago, I consciously avoided thinking too much about her while on here because I didn't want to permanently associate being on MDL with sadness. Maggie made me laugh SO many times, and she would not be happy with either of us if we moped around while darting and dodging among the MDL Church Girls. 😂
I can't imagine presuming to "find the words" for our brilliant Maggs, though; anything I'd come up with would be a poor imitation. She would pooh-pooh that notion, but it's true.

I'm curious to know...
Is that right?
Meh...I don't care enough to go hunting down info on dramapanda.
Thanks anyway. 😊

I'd like to read them.
So, to clarify: To you, any show out of China or Taiwan is automatically "very good" because it's out of China or Taiwan?
Is that correct?
Also, consider not reading comments.
They seem to raise your blood pressure and make you cranky.
I'll repeat this, too: Your attitude is part of the suicide problem in Korea.

A father regularly beats his adoptive son with a golf club.
Horrible.
The sequel is terrible, by the way.

Ahhh, I do miss the old gal. 😪
Me, "harsh?!" 😮
Me, "abrasive?!" 😮😮
You sometimes disagree with me?! 😮😮😮
