USA - The half of it that hates Donald Trump as much as you do.
On Shine (Orchestric Ver.) May 1, 2026
Episode 1:
Wow, the production values are through the roof on this one.
I'm not a big Apo/Mile fan, and I was disappointed by KinPorsche.
That said, both actors seem to have grown a lot since KP. I find their characters believable and interesting. And both have gotten more handsome.

I got through episode 1 without a hitch.
I hope things keep going that way.

Kudos to the hair team: Mile's extensions or wig or whatever's going on up there look completely natural. If it were an obvious wig, it would be a lot harder for me to buy into the character, and thus the show.

MDL ratings can be crazy sometimes
I avoid Thai BLs in general, but I enjoyed FUTS, too.
I think it was the character of the younger brother of one-half of the MC who kept me laughing my ass off. :)

Are you implying the actors were drunk to play their drunk scenes?If so, please provide a link, thanks.I'm unimpressed…
Actually, I found this link earlier after seeing your comment, but it doesn't really prove anything. I posted a comment above with two links to YT videos of bts from the show that are more interesting.

Jed says he's drunk, or maybe his costar does, but then later he says he was kidding. I suspect the former.

I mean, it's not a huge deal, but if I were the director, I would not be pleased. I understand that drunk acting is hard and many actors do it terribly, but doing it well is called "work," and that's what they are there to do. Any time you're drunk, you are not in control, and that's the opposite of what an actor on set or stage should be.

I read a great little blurb about Robert DeNiro. Some lesser-known actor said he had to act drunk for a scene with DeNiro and asked him if he had any advice. DeNiro said what he does is, just before the scene is shot, spin round and round in one spot for as long as he can, then proceed with the scene while still dizzy. Actor said it worked great. :D

This issue came up with the second (horrible) season of We Best Love, WBL: Fighting Mr. Second. One of the leads had to show up at his costar's character's place and do a long scene as drunk. So...he proceeded to get shit-faced before the scene was shot, and if I remember correctly, the director was OK with that.

I wouldn't have been. And if I were playing opposite him I would have been pissed. The definition of unprofessional.

What about the way he's showing his affection puts you off?

Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't like the second couple like their alright just not good but not bad
Wow, really?
I adore that pair. They're cute, sexy, and fun.
I wouldn't say I like them more than the MC, but the couples are so different it's hard to compare anyway.

I was like props to them for making it look like they were drunk and they were in fact drunk

If so, please provide a link, thanks.

I'm unimpressed by actors who have to get drunk to do what they should be able to do sober. It's called ACTING.

Episode 7:
I love this show.
I'm rooting for all the characters involved.
I just realized they haven't given me a character to loathe and despise... or did I miss someone?
Well...there is that horrible little witch in the high school flashbacks, I suppose.

That trailer...did I see a steamy shower with more than one person in it..?
I guess I'll sit in front of my PC for a week waiting for episode 8. :P

They have determined that this sentence was sufficient penalty and harm by the public should not be part of the…
This insanity is difficult for me to deal with.

I live in the US, where more often than not, a celeb who hits the skids due to addiction, mental illness, and other non-violent offenses is welcomed back into the public sphere after treatment, jail, or whatever. The general vibe is that the public roots for them to overcome and succeed, rather than seeing them tainted for life with no hope of redemption.

Of course, regarding "moral" issues that Korean media loves to foam at the mouth over, such as premarital sex/pregnancy, extramarital affairs, and the like, it will be reported on but generally gets a big yawn from the public. People are always interested in reading trash about celebs, but they don't punish them at the box office or ticket counter or cashiers counter.

And NO ONE gets dragged or canceled for dating or even cohabitating without benefit of marriage, for god's sake. The dating thing is the sickest aspect of toxic fan culture.

Now, there will be exceptions when a celeb does something extra egregious, is violent, or otherwise criminal. Even then, celebs make comebacks after serving time, it depends on the circumstances.

But, in the US, you don't have this sadistic netizen culture in which people take absolute, ecstatic joy in destroying celebrities.
