Screw the "Netizens." Always looking for something to be offended by. I wish she had told the Netizens to f**k themselves.
As an American, it still strikes me as bizarre the way Korean Internet losers see everything their Korean stars do that they don't like as some kind of moral failing that deserves a groveling apology and possible career cancellation. The above "controversy" is a mild example of the reason so many K-entertainers take their lives when this mindset is taken to extremes.
This young woman was trying to have some fun interacting with her most ardent fans. She didn't do anything wrong.
Meh. I know what they were going for here, but just didn't work for me. Shoestring budget didn't help, though I guess low budget is part of the GG aesthetic. I don't care, still didn't care for it much. Which is too bad because Nakao Masaki and Komiya Rio are two of my fave up and coming Japanese actors. Masaki is great in the movie "Cheer Boys!," which I gave one of my very few 10 ratings, and Rio is a standout in Eien no Kinou as Dead Boy. Haven't figured out where else I saw Masaki but I know I have. He's good.
EXCELLENT film. Touching and thought-provoking in the best ways.
The mother is mentally ill. If I were the dad, I wouldn't leave those kids alone with her and I would insist she seek treatment or I'd divorce her. She is miserably messed up and making everyone around her miserable. Apparently, she feels robbed of something in life and is trying to work out her frustrations through her kids. Sick bitch.
Care to share what your say...top three fave BLs are?
I tried to watch that. Not my thing. Do you consider that kind of story a true BL? Generally speaking, I don't watch shows out of China because of the gay ban. Screw them.
I love me a good sport-related comedy/drama, and this is one of, if not THE best I've seen. Nearly flawless, just like Breakers' debut performance. Lots of laughs and a few tears amid angst that made the rousing finale all the more wonderful. I spent half the movie in tears and half splitting my face in two with a shit-eating grin from ear to ear.
It was icing on the cake that near the end this broke into a four-couple, near-Boys Love piece. 😁😁😁 Let's face it: only Shou showed ANY interest in girls, his in the form of the wheelchair beauty. The others were too busy focusing on and supporting their dearest friend(?). Each character was given enough development and background that I cared about all of them. Even Ton was much more than the stereotypical "fat-guy" character. I was astonished at that actor's dexterity and ability of movement. Even his spread-eagle jumps were impressive. He did them well enough that his body angles did not distract from the whole when they did those jumps simultaneously. Wow.
I admired that when Ton flubbed the back flip during the debut he did not let it destroy him. His buddies cheered him forward, he lept up and roared! :D
This movie took my heart and wrapped it in joy and hope. What more could I ask of a film such as this?
I got to stop reading comments on here. It ruins my enjoyment of a show every single time.
If you are enjoying a show and find it to be of quality, how does reading the differing opinions of other viewers threaten your experience? Do you really want an entire thread of nothing but love and bouquets, all in agreement with you? Sounds boring to me.
Why not comment, sharing the reasons you find this so appealing?
Actually, I find mdl fans to be eternally forgiving, which is why so many bad BLs, which would be 1/10s in the larger world of drama-making, become 9s and 10s here.
What a wonderfully, unapologetically sweet, heartfelt little special, with more than one important message too. I absolutely loved it. The racism thing breaks my heart of course, but I live in the U.S. so I'm all to familiar with that sort of ugliness.
Tremendous acting from the kids, especially Choi Kwon Soo. And he dances like a dream too. Wow. Yoo Oh Sung is great as the dad. The boarder, the gold-digger, and the other kids were excellent too. What a fun little treat to stumble across this evening. Made my night.
Damn this was good. How circumstances literally change normal human being to a psycho
Not a psycho. A very frustrated, degraded, insulted, angry person dealing with rich assholes who have no appreciation for the fact they are handed everything they have.

But yeah, this wasn't my thing.

Light On Me and Semantic Error are on my Top 30 All-Time BL list.
A shoulder to cry on, not so much.
