Interesting. I like both couples a LOT, obviously for different reasons, but the most appealing part of the show for me is that they are so incredibly different from each other, and yet the two stories overlap so well. I'm finding this far above average for a BL.

Waiting until it's ready to be binged might be a good idea, then watch all at once, or yeah maybe you're just not into the MC's vibe. I sure am. I laugh my ass off at both of them, and then they turn around and nail that floor kiss and I'm all misty. lol

You don't have to be sorry, but I'm curious as to WHY you chose to drop. Care to share? I ask because at least through episode 4, I'd been liking this a LOT, and found it fresh and original? No spoilers please, if you've seen 5 and 6. Thanks.

lol "misogyny" Is that your on-trend word for the day?

Oh you poor thing. You have no problem aggressively dishing out insults in a language you barely get by with, so your attempt to play victim now cuts no ice with me.

Your arrogant claim to "see this from a neutral perspective" is especially amusing. Who Neutrally decided that your perspective is indeed, neutral? Wait...YOU did. Go review the meaning of the English word "neutral." You're not it.

Plenty of people here have a problem with commenters such as you, who use butchered English along with Internet slang they seem to think they invented ("who hurt you?") to disparage those they disagree with, then cry "whaaaaaa, try using MY mother language!" as a defense.

I don't have the need or desire to butcher your "mother language" (Klingon?), thanks. Reading what you do to mine is painful enough as it is.

Good. Enjoy!
I have found quite a few Asian movies there that were unavailable elsewhere, and the quality is always good.

Yes, I watched with subs.
Go to that link. Click on the gear button in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. A menu box will pop up. Click on "pick subtitles." In the next pop-up box, select the top row sub option, and you should be good to go.

I just ran thru that process there, and it worked fine. Let me know if you continue to have problems.

I love people having opinions that don't match my own. The delusional ones like yours can be entertaining to respond to, while I often learn from interacting with the writers of many others.

oooh, "toxic" and "npc." Did you come up with those terms on your own? lol

I don't require an invitation to respond to any comment I choose on a public discussion forum.

IS there a "we" on your end of this discussion? You seem to be claiming to speak for others beside yourself. Are you? Do they include the voices in your head?

"Proving from A to Z my points." hahahaha...

This is another awfully long paragraph for you...I hope you didn't strain a brain cell writing it.

I'm not responsible for your "feelings." You are.
There's no "we" on your end of this convo. There is only "you."
Love that you whine about my "big paragraphs" and then come at me with a ten-foot-long one of your own.
Your rant is incoherent, so I'll leave it at that.
Be sure to feel deeply those unwelcome "triggers" that cause you such stress.
Maybe you'll grow a little despite yourself.

This fascinates me.
Are you 30 or younger? I'm wondering if the Internet and the increasing speed with which information of all kinds is delivered ever faster over the last 25 years has something to do with this phenomenon.

I see from your profile that you enjoy reading. Do you speed-read? If not, does reading frustrate you?

ummm...I made it clear above you're free to do what you want. I'm not trying to stop you.

I'd argue that whatever you're perceiving by watching a show at nearly three times the speed it was meant to be watched bears little resemblance to what the maker intended you to take from their storytelling.

Question: Do you watch ANY shows at the speed at which they were made to be watched? I'll stay away from words like "normal" if that offends you.

You're welcome to watch any show or movie at whatever spreed you choose, but if you're "watching" at nearly three times the normal speed, every action and line of dialogue is distorted and profoundly altered to the extent you're not really watching at all.

But that's me. Enjoy!

wtf? Why do you do your watching at x2.80 speed?

Pointless.

How can it be that not one commenter or review of this film anywhere mentions the fact that the FL is mentally handicapped? This is clear from the second scene in the classroom when we first see the look on her face which tells us she is not all there. She is not able to comprehend reality on anything beyond the level of maybe an...8 year-old? I'm not sure.

Anyway, I've held on for almost an hour of this crap, but it's clear this is going nowhere. For about 25 minutes, I thought it had potential but then all the holes in the story began to widen until they met each other and this thing fell to pieces.

Dropped. 1/10

"Where is it written I can’t express my thoughts ?"
I don't know if that's written anywhere, but I certainly never wrote that. You are free to express your triggered-ness as often as you wish and I am free to mock you doing so.

What your age has to do with it is that people in that age group, generally, have somehow grown to believe they have some sort of god-given right to go through life without being "triggered," ie. having feelings they weren't necessarily planning on having or aren't comfortable with. No one has that right, and it's not possible to live among other humans without being "triggered" frequently.

Having one's comfort zones challenged is how we grow, and that process is also a major aspect of successful, dramatic storytelling.

No, I'm not a millennial. I am older than dirt.

Interesting. I find BOTH couples extremely interesting and very different, which is mainly what is making this show work so well.

Maybe you should take your poor, "triggered" self to some other, bland show in which all characters display exemplary behavior at all times. What you are feeling is what the writers intended you to feel. Drama and pathos emerge from conflict and gray-area behaviors, not everyone being flawlessly perfect.

Your immature perspective on drama, which can be summarized as "I only want to see characters, behaviors, and plot developments that make me comfortable at all times," is all too common on MDL.

Let me guess...you're 15-27 years old.

I liked the work of the ML as well. I loathed him so intensely, and at the same time admired his actorly craft. I check his bio though, and his career hasn't really gone anywhere.

Initial response: Incredibly disjointed and confusing. I feel I watched the entire thing, and remain unclear on who's who and who did what. I was bored about half the time. All of which is incredibly disappointing, as for some reason, I guess the synopsis, I thought this was going to be good. It's mostly people walking around, meeting other people to talk about other people doing things in the Philippines, Turkey, and Korea.

After re-reading the synopsis, I had to laugh at this part: "While they are in Korea for a period of time, the family of the people kill chase after them like dogs that never let go once they bite." hahaha The "family of people killed..." consists of one middle-aged woman who trembles and cries most of the time.

Hard to believe that, with him being such a revolting character and having so many people who hate him, no one just pulled out a knife or a gun and wasted that smug asshole.

Korean filmmakers need to stop relying on characters just happening to run into each other in Seoul to drive the plot. It is a city of 10 million people. Give me a break.

Finally, I can't believe this high rating. What am I saying? It's MDL where down is up and vice-versa.

4/10
