The original MIR is one of my all-time fave BLs. I hope they don't de-raunch this remake to suit the neo-Puritans. Going in, fingers crossed...
Episode 1: Wow, the new Fuse is a semi-dead ringer for the original. I checked to make sure they're not related. How is Fuse's mom younger than his sister?
Well, just as feared...they're sanitizing/purifying/eliminating the things about the raunchy original that made it such a riot. This Tee lacks the quiet charm and personality of the first Tee, and seems...slow-witted. It would be hard to match the looks of the original, but apparently, they didn't even try.
Why is Fuse paranoid? They didn't do anything.
Not surprised, given the current sex-phobic cultural moment we're in, but why remake something if you're going to do this to it? And why cast this Tee?
362Ignore the comments of all the grumpy. This remake promises a lot of fun and freshness. A breath of fresh air…
"WARNING: Right from the start, there's a strong chemistry and intimacy between Fuse, the older man, and Tee, the young boy... it's quite shocking and immoral."
lol Is this for real, or are you satirizing the MDL killjoys?
On edit: I just watched the first episode. I repeat my question above and add a second: WHAT sexual tension?
Episode 3: These two are almost unbearably adorable together.
My face is sore from smiling at my screen like an idiot for 12 minutes. At the same time, they are sexy/hot together, too. The way Ainosuke purses his lips and twists them to one side as he coyly averts his eyes, has me squealing like a 13-year-old Kpop fan at a BTS concert.
I love that the show is presenting a significant age-gap romance without judgment, allowing us to see how sweet their interaction is without unpleasant drama. Hopefully, that will come later, of course, but for now the vibes are sweet. :D
He is playing the character EXACTLY as depicted in the manhwa. In fact, he's injecting a bit more emotions, if…
"...because, like you..."
If you don't register the insulting condescension inherent in Dr. Pompous-Flompous adding those three words, directed at me, not the actor, then we know where the problem lies, don't we, Dr. Pompous-Flompous II?
Is it your position that any negative critique of an actor's performance is inherently condescending and pompous? Please quote me where I directed a personal insult at the actor, not his work.
I get that you're fangirling over the actor, but please try to control yourself. After all, you're an experienced psychologist. Shouldn't you be past the fangirling stage?

Damn, you are correct. Mystery solved: I am watching Agent Kim as it is released, at the same time I am watching Vincenzo. With all the shooting and violence, death and what-not in both, I got them tangled up together. Kwak Dong Yeon is in Vincenzo. :D

A five-year age difference.
However will the world go on turning?!
BRAVO!
There are a ton of tight-ass MDLers who watch shows like this so they can shriek their moral outrage in comments.
pakunook will undoubtedly watch every second of this show that they're pretending to be upset by.
Thank you for mentioning that!
I had no idea there was a remake.
The two seasons of the original are among my all-time fave, pre-2020 BLs.
Now I know what I'll be watching tonight. :)
Looking forward to seeing what the "complainers" are complaining about, too.
I hope that means the show is nice and spicy, as was the original. :D
And who turned them into that?
