Probably no explicit scenes because of the popularity of the main actors. But as long as the story is good, I'm…
In my opinion there is a fine balance to strike. What I mean by that is - I don't need them to show nudity and full on sex scenes in order for me to find it a credible BL / LGBT drama. But at the same time, they shouldn't engage in Queerbaiting either where the romance and gay relationship is depicted only through homoerotic subtext and unspoken innuendos. There has to be some show of intimate physical affection even if it means without showing nudity or full on sex.
I haven't started watching the drama yet, but I did watch a couple of trailers and it definitely looks Xianxia to me, and not Wuxia. A couple of years ago, MDL had published a series of articles explaining the differences between the Wuxia, Xianxia and Xuanhuan genres and it was a very thoughtful and thoroughly written series of articles. I can look for those links if you're interested.
It’ll be available in 7 days on Viki. I’ve watched it already on Youku but if you search it on Viki, you’ll…
Okay. I did search on Viki and I see in the "Coming soon" section. But no episodes available yet to stream on Viki. Viki is weird in the sense that they don't specify which date that a drama or movie in their "Coming soon" section is actually going to be available to stream. In my past experience with Viki, this could be days, weeks or even months and it just stays in that Coming soon Section. So it becomes bit of a guessing game. Oh well. I'll just be patient.
okay so there is no kissing between the two guys and jieun asks yunjae to be 'friends' when shes become a dude…
I never said you don't have a choice. I also didn't say you must be forced to watch two guys kiss. I am however questioning what exactly is it about two men kissing that makes you uncomfortable and if you sense the same level of discomfort when two girls kiss or when two people of opposite sex kiss? If your discomfort is because of the kissing peoples sexual orientation (a.k.a gay men) then yes, that makes you a homophobe. I understand that is not a flattering label, but it is what it is.

I'm not getting your point because I think you used a bad example of music to communicate your point of view. Music is a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, allowing people from different backgrounds to connect and enjoy it. A person doesn't have to understand the Korean language to appreciate K-pop.
I really do want to believe you when you say you are not a homophobe, so, can you explain differently with a different example?

Since you claim you are not homophobic, what is it exactly about two men kissing that makes you uncomfortable? Do you sense the same level of discomfort when two girls kiss or when two people of opposite sex kiss? If your discrimination/discomfort is based on the kissing peoples sexual orientation (a.k.a gay men) then I hate to break it to you but unfortunately you do meet the textbook definition of a homophobe. You just haven't come to accept it yet.
This is still not yet available to stream on Viki. At least not in the US region. Is anyone else able to stream this on Viki? If yes, which Viki region are you streaming in?
