Top 5 guesses about what DaOn was going to say:
1. I left my toothbrush at home. I hope someone has a spare.
2. I just saw a funny video about a dog that drives a car. Want to see it?
3. Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses, or one horse-sized duck?
4. There's something in your hair. Let me lean way too far into your personal space than necessary and spend thirty seconds removing it while there are three takes in succession from different camera angles.
5. I just wanted to pat your head again because it wasn't patronizing enough the first 30 times I did it.

I'm really over the petty and evil female antagonist trope. Yes, there are women like this, but most aren't, and one that isn't could occassionally feature in a BL.

This did move the plot forward a bit, but something was missing - I guess the total emotionlessness of all the disucssions - you could see a little inner sadness in Shin Woo, but that's about it. There were too many important conversations for the energy level to be that low. There's also a lack of chemistry between any of the potential pairs - it may be there if we're ever allowed to see people interact in a romantic context instead of everyone beging terrified of each other. I hope we'll get to see.

Unless DaOn was only going to say "I think I may have left the iron on, but I'm pretty sure it has a shut-off timer", it's a little silly that he didn't say "I'll be there in 10 minutes" and tell TK what he wanted to say. And what could you discuss with the owner that took all night like that?

Maybe that's what was bothering me - the endless interruptions and excuses for nobody to ever say anything to each other - it's frustrating when the central conflict that dominates a series is that people won't talk to each other.

With 7 more episodes there's time to resolve everything, but it's a bit late in the story for TK to have never given a thought to Shin Woo as a romantic interest.

So if you were to ask who I want TK with, I can only answer "I don't know - anyone, I guess. whatever."

Actually what I really want to see is Shi Woon get busy with Teacher Seo.

I'm sure he had a reserve third bag.

What if he'd be happiest alone?

Sometimes the quiet ones are the most nuclear in bed. Plus, DaOn would do whatever you want him to do, and that has a quality in itself. But I'd take Shi Woon over all the rest any day. Well, maybe Teacher Seo would suffice.

Same here. I'm taking a break 5 minutes in so I don't fall into a coma.

True. But So Hee's position is totally self-serving and self-absorbed, and probably evil. A good person is nice to everyone. If literally hundreds of thousands of people would love to see you run over by a bus, then you should reexamine you choices, right?

Aren't all BL characters out of Jane Austin? Every BL has a Darcy, (Shin Woo), Elizabeth (TK), Bingly (DaOn), etc.

The only way she can earn my favor is to die. The more horribly, the more I'll forgive her.

You can have all my money and first born is Shin Woo is NOT the endgame. To me it''s completely obviously and 100% certain. Bls follow a formula, and the formula says it's Shinwoo. Have you ever in your life seen a BL where the main pair like each other from the start? What was the point of Shinwoo hating TK if it wasn't because they're the main couple?

That's not to say the White SUV of Death won't get Shinwoo and TK only realizes who he really loved after he's gone. Just kidding. But I hope the White SUV of Death comes for So Hee, and quickly.

There's no arguing that the boys are hot. It looks like the two leads are finally going to get somewhere next ep, so naturally my shallowness will drag me there.

That's a great idea - this wouldn't be the first BL I've enjoyed solely because of her comments. Thanks!

True - one thing you can't complain about here is slow pacing. And I'll admit it, I'm shallow - just Din on my screen doing... anything. Anything at all... is enough to keep me hooked.

I'm totally getting what you're saying - it's just that every time I get past something problemmatic something new takes it's place.

I'm about a third of the way into ep 10, which I've been skimming for shirtless scenes. I think my sweet spot is that the guys are so, so hot in this. There has been some decent humor, too.

The dad tried to beat someone to death, and all he had to say was "sorry for being a bit harsh" and that's it, all is forgiven. Plus, now Ruk is treating IG like sh#$ because the evil girl's plan worked and he's not even bothering to discuss the situation with his boyfriend, who he made a commitment to. That's too frustrating and full of cliches and tropes for me to deal with.

Should I give it one more shot?

I've never known WorldofBL to be wrong, so yay!

It's really no different than your comment, where you explained why everyone else is wrong. The only difference is that I know that when someone is giving an opinion, it's their opinion, whereas you think it's some sort of attack.

Think about your sentence: "Also, as for what a lot of people are complaining about - I think what we have seen so far or at least for a long time now literally IS them being in a relationship."

That could easily be seen as condescending, as if we don't know what a relationship is or can't see one when it's there. But I found your opinion on it interesting, which is why I responded. I'll be sure not to bother next time.

I'm going to have to duck quickly after saying this, but I'm really glad Din ditched the ponytail. I didn't like it.







Ok, if it's safe to come out, this whole show is a disaster, but the boys are too hot to give it up.

Be Loved In House, which I like but is getting really frustrating, Light On Me, which has been growing on me, but this last ep was tiresome, and Golden Blood, which I'm not taking too seriously, but this last ep was dull and frustrating. And then there's Why Love Why, which was great in S1, but the second season is a catastrophe.

I'm feeling like we're in a bit of a BL rut at the moment. But I really liked Call It What You Want S2 Ep 1, and The Yearbook has potential.

Oh, I apologize. I think I was confusing you with the other person. I agree with everything you said.

I think eventually everyone gets so frustrated that we are tempted to view things illegally that we could get legally with extra effort. Like when the VPN just isn't working.

I think there's a bit of a distinction between mainline BLs and DYI productions, but even the latter could ask for volunteers to subtitle their work and they are almost certain to get it. I would happily review one and fix up the English.

You are right. However, in this case, as the period of work is limited, they could wait until after the production is over - and it has the added complication that James is the director and is in an authority relationship over Ait. James is being foolish - if the relationship ends badly, Ait can accuse him of coersion, and that's especially bad in this case, where it will appear there is a pattern, given Tee's sins. It's hard to control yourself when you're in love, but James is old enough to know better.
