lol he was literally everyone's fancast before ryeoun was announced 😭 both of them do have the same vibes, tbh. but i do feel like ryeoun looks more like humin (ben).
Okay, let's say shipping them with her is valid because of all those things. Then, shouldn't shipping the boys because of their bond and chemistry also be valid? I really would've been okay with your take if it wasn't coming with such homophobic implications.
Like, for example, the hospital scene you're talking about, you didn't mention how Suho was the first and only person to be able to crack a smile out of Sieun? In that scene Youngyi was literally going off about how eating at night could make her fat, but only her voice was heard, her face wasn't even seen, and Sieun was entirely focused on Suho while her voice drowns out in the background. Do you think these scenes just happened? Weren't authorial choices made? So can these things not pass as "vibes" too? How come this is something that is not possible?
Let me ask you something, have you ever watched a show with any queer characters or relationship at all? it doesn't even have to be a BL or GL. Just name me one.
People who unironically ship them cannot understand the concept of a healthy and strong friendship between two…
do you not realise that you're the one labeling them and not me...i never labeled them as hetero or gay, I simply said why are you so completely against people who do ship them? It's going to happen since they have such good chemistry together.
And besides this helmet thing that you choose not to let go of for some stupid reason, it has happened in other queer shows like To My Star and Not Me! Still going to say its a fully platonic thing to do with your friend? Helping them adjust their helmet so be closer to their face and have raging gay eye contact? Lol.
having a female character in a show automatically makes it romantic? such a terribly heteronormative ass take…
it is only now that i’m seeing these replies you were referring to (again, its not me), and op is right, take a look at the helmet photos here in this scene; try and tell me this wont look romantic to you if it was a male and female character? https://x.com/notbetareaddd/status/1692107932484223449?s=20
i hope you understand that it's not making us mad if you don't like the ship but rather the blatant denying that these platonic relationships of yours can easily have romantic undertones and frankly it does in a lot of media, it's not something to get mad about. It's very natural when two characters/actors have overflowing chemistry! And the queer community seldom gets accurate representation in these medias, which may be why they stick to subtext a lot of the time. It's nothing to start a discourse or get mad over, really. Let’s end it here.
Bae, she was not crushing on Sieun, that's just the nature of her character! She would've acted like that with a female friend of hers too, lol. And she was living with Suho because he and his grandma knew she was homeless and was given a place to stay. But somehow that is romantic hmm...and what next season? She literally left at the end of the show and the cast for season 2 has been renewed too, lmao. Don't you see that you're the one pushing a relationship with zero potential, and not me? You didn't get romantic vibes from the boys because of heteronormativity and perhaps internalised homophobia. And believe it or not, internalised homophobia exists in everyone, even in queer people. It's very hard to fully beat it. So not entirely your fault, i guess....
also u should finish 2521 it will be less painful now that u know how it ends...also the breakup wasnt the worst thing in the world, i think there are heavier things in that drama.
Some wise words. I thought that I was the only one who noticed how hyped this one was. Some of the best dramas…
honestly im a very picky watcher, theres more stuff out there i know i wont like than the ones i know i will, so theres that. my #1 drama of all time still remains weak hero class 1, which frankly only has a 0.1 rating lower than this show, and its also top 5 best shows on MDL along with AOS and MTH which i also really like. MDL rating is not the best way to judge a show though, thats for sure, lol.
"We have all seen K-Dramas where couples went from enemies to lovers, or even enemies to friends to lovers" exactly my point actually lol. Don't tell me you wouldnt be rooting for SH and SE too if it was a het pairing.
Typical pathetic villain? No! he isn't that at all. Quite the opposite in fact, you just don't understand his…
yes yes you understand! it makes me mad that people who watch this show refuse to acknowledge that things are not so black and white. this is not your typical, conventional, hero vs villain type of drama (hell, it's literally implied in the title to begin with)
I feel like people force perfection on their favourite characters in this (eg suho and youngyi), and forget that they were all just kids and are GOING TO FUCK UP. And that's okay! I don't understand why they want their characters to be perfect, tbh. Them being flawed makes them more human, that's what makes them loveable. The whole point of the show was this endless cycle of violence because these kids refuse to communicate. Trying to find a perfect victim means you missed the point.
