To anyone who wants to see WYW in an excellent little vertical BL, here's a link under the spoiler button below. Some saint fan put all eps together as one for us!
Yet ANOTHER great little vertical show. If it were in a standard format, I'd rate it 9.5/10.
Funny, cute, sexy, with great acting across the board. A light romcom with sex appeal. The leads are hot and also adorable. Great casting.
To quote MDL member b_xint below, "If you are cool with the limitations of vertical series, this is a sweet little show and worth the 60 minutes." Well said, b_xint!
Oh hell, I'm going to rate it for what it is and give it the 9.5/10 mentioned above. :) You can see it with all episodes stitched together as one (the only way I will watch one of these verticals), at the link behind the spoiler button below.
Pretty much my thoughts as well after I read the article. You should be able to apologize and move on; not have…
The agency's quote is about kissing Knetz ass by pretending to acknowledge something "wrong" about a celeb's behavior when there is no issue to acknowledge. You can imagine what would happen were an agency put out a statement to the effect of "You people are nuts. Get a life."
If celebs stay off social media, then the netizens will say "Who does so-and-so think they are to not be engaging with their fans? Do they look down on us?!"
Korean/CH celebs cannot win, which is why so many end up dead by suicide.
Episode 7: What a beautiful response from Sota. "As expected," as the JPs say.
That said, I think 99.9% of people know when romantic affection is part of how they feel about another person. Romantic feelings are very different from "good friend," "tennis buddy," or even "best friends" feelings, and they don't have to be exclusive. In other words, you can feel all of the former feelings for someone AND have romantic feelings in the mix somewhere, too. But, if you feel that sort of love toward someone, you know.
And while it's trendy to pretend "gender doesn't matter," of course it matters. You can't MAKE yourself have romantic feelings for another dude if you're entirely straight. And when it comes time to express your love physically, as romantic feelings inevitably demand we do, a completely straight dude can't make himself suddenly dig the idea of butt sex or dick-diving. If he does, that's totally cool, of course, but it indicates he's been on the bisexual spectrum all along.
All of that said, it's possible that Sota already knows there's an extra-special tingle in his feelings toward Natsuki (I hope! I hope! I hope!), and this "getting to know you" period is really going to be more about permitting himself to fully and openly feel/express those feelings.
Rio is the goddess of the show. Had I had a friend like her when I was Natsuki's age and going through the same angst, my life from then forward would have been completely different and much happier. The mom is turning out to not be the typical JP airhead housewife/mom I assumed she was, too.
I've been getting a kick out of the over-the-top, melodramatic, Hallmark Christmas Special-type music we hear whenever people are having a deep, meaningful conversation in this show. Angels begin chanting, and the volume swells to where it's hard to hear what they're saying. ;) Which fits in with the pastels, sunshine, and cotton candy clouds aesthetic of the series.
It's a lot of fun to be so unexpectedly engaged with what I took to be a silly powder puff drama in the beginning. I'm in knots about where this goes next. :D
It just occurred to me that "There are some things you can't overcome no matter how hard you try." is an alarmingly negative take, especially from someone so young. Considering that this is Korea, suicide capital of the developed world, I hope this young man has a strong support system surrounding him.
I can only try to imagine how upsetting/depressing it would be to have your promising career derailed by something as stupid as how you acted on a moronic Korean variety show, and then to have psycho Knetz piling on online to keep the silliness alive. Not that there was anything "wrong" with how he acted, of course. I wish Korean entertainers didn't have to appear on such shows as part of their promotional cycles. As fun as they may be, there are thousands of Knetz vultures watching for the tiniest perceived flaw in someone's behavior or manner; if such a thing presents itself, they start clicking away on their keyboards...
And then, people like Lily Malice leap in to magnify everything. Sigh...
Another good vertical series. I'm on a roll with them lately. Thank god for unknown, kind souls who stitch the thousands of ten-second episodes into one long one for me; otherwise, I would never watch verticals at all.
Both halves of the MC are excellent, and their chemistry is strong. The shorter one has incredible screen presence and butch energy despite his size. I think we know who's going to top whom during the first go-round. The evil guy actor did a great job, too. Good direction. I'm impressed at some of the verticals and how the good acting/story/direction have me forgetting that I'm watching a one-inch wide screen.
All the smooches were well-delivered, but the inverted/upside-down kisses on the Judo mat were the highlight. Swoon-worthy.

He has one expression - sullen.
Punks Triangle: Horrible.
Am I wrong? ;)

You have great screen presence and a strong energy that you use with skill.
All best in your future career!

Only in Korea, land of Krazy Knetz without lives, would a "lack of manners" be become a "controversy" that affected someone's career.
Insane.
