It’s understandable why WQ is soo protective of his family. His mom was a crackhead & was sleeping around, so…
Don't you think it's a bit much to assume because LiLi wears shorts to go out, she's also going to do crack and turn tricks before she goes home? Being wise and protective is one thing. Irrationally projecting your psycho mom's behavior onto your adorable little sister is another.
I read a week's worth of comments and only 2 out of hundreds were negative. So how is the rating only 7.9 when…
I'm of the opinion one should wait until the end of a series to rate it, or MDL should make it possible to rate individual episodes. How does one rate a series one has seen three out of 12 episodes of?
Now THIS is quality BL. Top-tier so far. Excellent acting/direction across the board. Great cinematography/lighting set design. It's nice to have Taiwan back in the winner's circle, after its last few stinkers.
Plus, I'm always on board for a good age-gap/incest drama! :)
One of my top ten favorite gay-themed, Asian films. Beautiful and heartbreaking. Hwang Jung Min is extraordinary. Considering this was made 21 years ago, his taking on this role was a brave thing to do. Jung Chan is perfection too, just not quite as much the focus as HJM. Their interaction/chemistry/commitment to the characters is remarkable. Bravo!
Endings like this to gay films often piss me off. Not sure why this one doesn't.
Ah, and so it concludes. Hiro finally resigned from his job and Kai finally got his man. Was it memorable? I don't…
I gave it a 7.5/10 or C+. I'll forget about it in a couple of weeks too.
I will never understand why so many BL watchers are satisfied with plots that meander. No extremes one way or the other, just mild, low-key drama stuck in the middle spaces.
Very cute/sweet ending. That might be the best Japanese BL smooch I've seen. Kai is sweet. This is another good one for all the BL fans who are scared of sex. Overall, I can't say I'll remember this series in a couple of weeks or ever rewatch it. I would recommend it, but only mildly. The very last 30 seconds were kind of odd. Felt like a lame way to tie things up, them just sitting on the back of the couch waiting for the director to yell "cut!"
Episode 8: Where is Mizuki when you need him? This show has become terrible.
Why do they act like Soga is leaving next week? They have an entire freaking year to get to know each other and then decide if and how to proceed.
Why are they trying to convince us that the handsome but scrawny Sakae lifts weights regularly? He obviously does no such thing, and it does nothing to move the story.
If you spend this very early stage of a romantic relationship having brainstorming sessions to make up all kinds of rules, where the hell is the romance, horniness, spontaneity, and fun of just being together? They should be giddy with love. Instead, they're having meetings to discuss toilet paper.
There is zero physical or psychological/emotional chemistry between the MLs. The coy pre-sex scene felt icky.
Soga is not hot, built like a string bean, and frequently acts semi-intellectually impaired. And Sakae is hot for this because...?
Dumb things in this episode: pickles, playing catch, the countertop bell, Soga's concave chest, and many more.
I did lol at the "how far have you gone?" scene.
This will probably end up with a 6.5/10 rating or thereabouts from me. I can't believe they have two more episodes to kill.
What "relationship?" Where is there any supporting info in this article for the idea these two are dating? Why…
I touched a nerve, I see. I'm glad.
"You must be Korean" refers to the likelihood that anyone defending the garbage above is a member of Korean society and culture that trashes and drives to suicide its best and brightest at a rate far exceeding that of any other country. As such, a "Korean" is MORE likely to spout the bullshit you do. So yeah, in that sense, being a Korean, psycho-fan/stalker/Netizen IS derogatory. That you think its something to be proud of tells us how deep the soul-rot goes.
Oh dear, have I "insulted" someone and drawn "conclusions all be myself?" Why yes I have. People who defend Korea's celeb suicide culture deserve to be insulted. And newsflash: Normal people draw conclusions; that's what we do. I have read probably fifty articles on the whys and wherefores of Korea's celebrity suicide problem, and its suicide rate as a nation, highest by far in the developed world.
I am sick of seeing actors and entertainers taking their own lives right and left in Korea. I am sick of it because MOST of my favorite movies and some of my fave music come out of...KOREA. I admired actor/singer Park Yong Ha, the first of the "Korean Wave," who spread joy to millions in Japan and Korea alike. He killed himself. My fave singer of all time is Jonghyun of SHINee, dead by suicide. Moonbin, the best Kpop dancer I've seen, took his life last spring. Then Lee Sun Kyun, who I met through Parasite, and then watched all of his movies, killed himself the same way Jonghyun did.
And over the last 30 years there have been many other celebs/entertainers whose work I did not follow in detail, who were driven to suicide. Google it, dumba**.
THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I'd like it to stop. So yeah, dumbass, I am very passionate about this issue and I have zero intention of "calming down" about it. That's what Koreans do after each suicide...until the next one. You bet I'm "argumentative;" I know exactly what I'm talking about, which you clearly do not. Or worse, you know but don't give a shit.
"Spiraling? lol Yeah, I"m bouncing off the ceiling and walls here, haven't taken my meds in weeks. Seizures, foaming at the mouth, shit my diaper, it's all going on and yet, despite my wild hysteria, Korea still has a huge celeb suicide problem.
Get riled the fuck up, and try caring about someone other than yourself. Therapy can help.

I'll write what I want as many times as I want.
Thanks though.
