For those who have read the novel, give me SPOILER please, I am begging you, I cannot find the novel to read it myself. So, please answer these questions: Do Nakarai and Hagiwara end up together in the novel? Do they have s*x?
"The crybaby" and we have yet to see him actually crying in the show, even in the reconciling moment where he…
Ummmm, "crybaby" doesn't always mean someone who shows tears. In this context, a "crybaby boy" refers to a boy who needs help with almost everything. I understand the nature of your perspective, but the way I see it, his "tough prince" almost always runs to save him. If the crybaby boy could stand up for himself, the tough prince would definitely leave him in peace. Sure, the story could end there, pretty quicklyâlike in one episode. But we have a crybaby character with physical weaknesses, mental health struggles, trauma, and so on. If we were to really dive into these aspects, the series could end up being 3000 episodes long, with everyone trying to help the crybaby character. "My tough prince, see how strong I am ..." LOL LOL
I might be a bit ruthless in this review, but here it is. He Jia Hao is portrayed as the youngest, a weak boy, and a crybaby. He is a die-hard fan of his tough "prince" brother, He Jia Shu, who is actually the only child of his uncle. One day, the weak boy has an accident that leaves him in the hospital. From this incident, it is revealed that Jia Shu is not blood-related to his uncle or the He family. The sudden death of Jia Shuâs uncle causes Jia Shu to be kicked out of the He family.
Now a teenager, Jia Hao is still obsessed with Jia Shu. This obsession stems from his guilt, as he believes he was the cause of Jia Shuâs expulsion. The tough prince returns to town, and the crybaby Jia Hao cannot let go of him. He tries everything to win the prince's heart back.
Guess what? The crybaby wins the princeâs heart by showing just how weak he is. The title The Way Home seems to symbolize the tough prince's journey back to the He family. BL fans are now hoping and praying that this âway homeâ will lead to Jia Shu being officially part of the He familyâif he marries the crybaby boy, they will share the family name, right? And everyone will be happy.
NB: Somehow, it's hard for me to sympathize with the crybaby character. As for the tough prince, it's funny how he does boxing in jeans in the early episodes. Thank goodness they realized it and changed his costume. The prince is super handsome, though, with a hairstyle that looks like he just came out of a salon in every scene.
I cannot answer this for you. You need to watch the movie and research about Leslie Cheung by yourself. Maybe you will have different interpretation to draw your own view on the connection
1) My guess is that student who is holding name tag is doctor, so the died doctor maybe Lee Myung Hyuk ? And no…
"...if there then it's same old element of thriller," It could be old-fashioned, but it is still rare in Korean drama. An insider mole is a key element of a successful thriller in detective stories or spy dramas. I personally enjoy it because it requires a smart writer to design a story that overlaps but remains unnoticed by some audiences and the lead characters.
"From a copyright perspective, the author/creator of the story allows for this change; without the creator's permission,…
Well, I am simply stating a fact about copyright. I am not commenting on the validity of reasons for anyone's upset, nor comparing between fans of straight stories and fans of BL stories. However, perhaps my first sentence may imply something to those reading it
Some dislike this series because it changes the direction from the original source material, shifting from BL to Bromance. From a copyright perspective, the author/creator of the story allows for this change; without the creator's permission, it wouldn't have happened. Well...
I have not read the original source and have no plans to do so. Therefore, my comment is based solely on what I have watched from the series so far. From my observation, the series is well-made and fresh. Although the story isn't particularly new, the cast is perfect. They have found the ideal male lead in Yoon Chan-young, who not only matches the role physically (very athletic) but also delivers strong acting performances. Chan-young is on point throughout, and his co-stars help him shine. For example, his interactions with Se-kyung (Jaehyun) stand out, showcasing his masculinity and alpha qualities, which are satisfying to watch because they give the sense that he has solutions to all the problems he faces.
When this series ends, I am going to miss it completely. 9.5/10
Agreed. I lost it in the ending when they finally cured his blindness, it is like, why? Can they believe blind people can be happy and be together with 'normal' people?
When I watched the trailer, I thought I would fall for Mangkorn (the Dragon). But when I watch the pilot eps, I am falling for Yai (the Tiger). Mangkorn has undeniable oriental Asian sexiness. But, Yai (the Tiger) offers a magnetic charm out of nowhere mixed with Asian and Latino styles; he looks pretty much like a highborn kid from a rich family.
Oh God! I want to see how they manage the change in the last five eps. I am excited! I went to live in the United States for 4 years and went back just to find myself change and the one that I like change as well. Soooo...
Iâve been curious to ask a seasoned BL fan a question and I hope you donât mind. In your mind is there a distinction…
That is really good question. If I draw an ontological distinction between BL genre and LGBTQXXY genre, there will be different outcomes for products and their audiences. BL pop media products revolve around stories in a reality where gay lovers are normalized and it's okay to be gay, and everybody is gay. That's how they frame BL stories. Audiences for BL genre are mostly female (straight female). LGBTQXXY genre usually tries to depict contemporary issues and reality faced by this community. Sometimes it is hard to swallow because the whole society is still not accepting as a whole at the level of how they accept straight relationships. So, if I reflect on what I've described, I think More than Words is not fallen into the BL category. However, in the current BL world series, it seems to be more blurry. Some BL, for example, To my Star and other Korean BLs, have crossed the line between the BL genre and LGBTQXYZ genre by portraying what it means to be a gay man in real life.
I just finished watching this on Amazon prime with my broken Japanese. I don't Japan BL has something like season 2, but I really want to see season 2. I don't like season 1's ending, oh man.
