the chemistry is there u can feel it between the leads the storyline is unique not repetitive, quality is eh yeah…
This comment is full of falsehoods and ignorance.
Kbls rely far more on the international audience than on their tiny Korean one. Korea, with a population of 50M, most of whom are homophobes, is NOT the primary BL target audience. If it were, the genre would already have died out in that country. It was the GLOBAL audience that made Semantic Error a humongous hit internationally, which then led to its comparative rise in the local market. Jaechan, of the obscure kpop group DKZ, would still be unknown without the international audience that went crazy for SE.
Korean BL makers' continued timidity in portraying physical affection onscreen is likewise misplaced. The international audience wants to see more of that realism, not less. You think all the realistic kisses in Semantic Error went over well with the Korean audience? No, it was the international one, which also drives the success of kpop, that went wild for it. The teeny Korean BL audience follows on the heels of the huge global one, not vice-versa.
I could provide links to support all of this, but just like me, you have google.
But yeah, sure, Korea's local BL audience is small because Christians, Jews, Muslims. lol Got it.
Well, people have sex and there´s nothing scary about it.
Take your little google lecture somewhere someone cares. By your rules, no couple who ever had drinks together could have sex afterward because one might be drunker than the other, or they both might be wasted, in which case neither can "consent," which means they would have raped each other. I wonder if they'd be allowed to share a prison cell, at least.
Relaaaaaax. You need a few stiff drinks and a good blackout lay.

I didn't ask YOU if you stopped watching. You'd know that if you weren't frantically typing a mile a minute in a snit that a drunk person wanted sex.
But I have another question: What if both sex partners are drunk? Does that mean both are rapists and they need to go to the police station together and report each other?
Kbl industry now only makes shows for 16-year-old, fluff-loving little girls. ugh. vomit puke. The soft-focus cinematography and "swoosh" sound effects gave me a headache by 20 minutes into episode one. I stuck it out long enough to say I gave it a chance.
Juvenile, horrible, and predictable in all the worst ways.

So don't have sex with drunk people and drop shows that include that in the plot. Instead, you had to leave a comment to show your moral superiority. lol
Why cover or angle the first kiss? I feel like I was robbed. If the idol and co are so worried about protecting…
Thousands of us have been saying this for thousands of years, but the show makers don't care. I guess they feel they're making the profits they want and the last thing they care about is a show's artistic integrity.
Yes, the covered/dead fish kisses are insulting af.
No, I meant "are you fucking serious" that you're on about this tremendously moronic top/bottom issue? The endless obsession with top/bottom labels is likely the single most ignorant/stupid aspect of BL culture. 40% of gay men never have butt sex at all, and a lot of the remaining 60% are versatile in the roles. Then there are blow jobs, hand jobs, and other fun things that we almost never see in BL World.
I wonder what your fixation on butt-f**king really about.

You mean 2/3 of the population of the planet?
You live in a bubble of arrogance.

This old line of BS.

I can't even get through the first episode. I've seen this plot and these characters 174 times before, with much better acting and direction.
