it wins best drama of the year without a doubt

I get why people enjoyed this show, but it’s just not for me. I think the main issue is that I didn’t get attached to the main character (I tried though... honestly, I didn’t feel attached to any of the characters). Still, I can’t deny that the lgbtq/gay issues addressed in the show are really important and should be more talked about in BLs as it is the reality of plenty queer people. But it feels like we never got the chance to fully understand them the way we could have…. ? As a queer person myself maybe i was expecting a bit more or a different perspective idk. I’m actually frustrated that I didn’t end up liking it the way i thought i would since I’d been looking forward to its release :(

it was painful to watch but also beautiful. i thought about my grandfather all along, i deeply miss him everyday of my life. he was an amazing singer and also suffered from Alzheimer. i couldn’t help but think that what Shim Deok Chul was experiencing, all his fears, all his questions left without answers could have been what my grandpa experienced too. anyway, Kang is incredible in this drama. literally a masterpiece 🦋

yes! :)

aaah so i’m not the only one !! i don’t think he deserved all of that

the drama was cool but am i the only one annoyed by how everyone treats kang jong ryul when he's trying to be a decent father ? it bugged me all the show, i didn't get why everyone was so cold towards him bc he wasn't here for his son (which he didn't know about) but when it comes to dongbaek's mother who abandoned her getting back in her life, everyone acts like it's totally ok ?

yes :)

not that slight in my opinion, pretty much omnipresent but in a good way

i get it but it doesn't ruin the drama... people are talking like the drama was garbage since there's no kiss 😭

if you watch only bl to see two men kiss ask yourself some questions.. be for real
