I expected not to like this after reading the comments, but I actually thought this was a decent show. I definitely didn't like Aim and friends scheming, Bbomb was kind of frustrating me towards the end, and I would have liked to see the side couples fleshed out a little more, but I enjoyed it overall, and I thought the end was cute even though they had to wrap up everything quickly. It falls right into line with most bl, average, but enjoyable if you're not expecting too much.
I really can't defend teh after ep 4. It wasn't him having feelings for Jai, it wasn't the lies, it wasn't the cheating, but the complete lack of respect for Oh Aew's feelings for me.
How many white thugs do you know tho ? Where I live, black people make 85% of the prisoners, even worse in the…
Prison is nothing more than a modern, revolutionized way to keep black people oppressed. Black neighborhoods are not more policed because of higher criminal behavior but the other way around. We see a higher rate of criminal behavior in black neighborhoods because police feel the need to patrol them at higher rates. If there's more police of course there's going to be more people getting caught. It's a never ending cycle. For example, white people and black people use Marijuana at similar rates yet Black people are disproportionately arrested over it. Simply going off of where you live and your own personal experience isn't enough to excuse racism. I'd suggest listening to Black voices and the Black experience before applying your privilege to situations like this. It does nothing but allow you to be ignorant.

The season won't get canceled. This has been a problem before and the shows that were culturally offensive weren't canceled they continued to play.
And it's not just about hair. It's the hair plus the accent plus the grill, plus the multiple black men surrounding him. Clearly he's imitating black culture in the most stereotypical way and it's extremely offensive. It's fine if you don't understand, but realize that it's offensive to many of us drama watchers when we're constantly bombarded with stereotypical caricatures of ourselves in the media we love watching. Nearly every time I see people who look like me in a kdrama it's in the most negative way possible. It hurts. The only thing we want is for it to stop.
People are saying “Where is P’Boss?” or “Let P’Boss direct again.” when he’s literally still behind…
I've seen so many people blaming Meen. Like do they not see Boss in the documentary? It's completely fine not to like the direction the shows going but to place all the blame on one person when there's more people who took part isn't fair.

Thugs come in a variety of colors, only the media pretends that black people are the only people out there committing criminal acts. Black people disportionately make most of the prison system along with Latinos because we're disportionately policed more. There's more black people in prison because of racism pure and simple.
The locs, the grill, the tattoos, the chains, the accent, surrounded by nothing but black bodyguards. How anyone can see that scene and not see how racist it is is beyond me. Penthouse was already being slyly racist by having black people play the thugs who were dumping whats-his-face in the river, while all the doctors in America were white.
Sbs was already in trouble for this with backstreet rookie and turned around and did it again. How many times do we have to tell them it's offensive? It's clear that they just don't care.
I feel like this show doesn't have the best pacing. For instance, I really liked the first two episodes then didn't enjoy 3 and 4 so much and then 5 picked back up. It's a little rocky but I like it regardless. I like the leads and the supporting cast and I love how respectful the show is being towards Samantha.
"but I thought this was about how to be a writer instead of what you can and can't talk about. xD"But isn't that…
Agreed with everything you said. The article says you can write about anything you want as long as it doesn't discriminate against anyone, but isn't hypocritical to say that and then tell us we're not allowed to write BL articles? The specific no BL allowed rule is weird in itself because it implies that GL and other LGBTQ+ topics are allowed but I'm pretty sure they're not. My biggest problem with MDL though is that when you ask why BL is not allowed they never answer.
I feel so bad for Oh-Aew. Imagine going from spending most of your time with someone to barely getting to see them at all. And to top it off he's homesick and had trouble finding new friends. Oh-Aew sees him and Teh drifting apart and it's so sad to see. It's all a huge adjustment and certainly not an easy one.
