Whoever did his hair for 10 dance needs a raise because they knew how to elevate his already beautiful face card. He looked stunning in 10 dance.

Also disrespectfully, Mr Takeuchi could get it. His body was so tea, I could see the British wanting to invade Japan for it. You know he trained the hell out to look THAT good shirtless. His waist was cinched as hell. Mans was looking like a whole buffet the entire movie. A fantastic gym motivation.

Bro, the way Sugiki declared Suzuki as a rival the night they almost had sex was so painful to watch. It's in character for him but was a pretty cruel thing to do to someone he had almost developed a romantic relationship with that he himself initiated too.

I loved how sweet of a character Aki was. Loved her so much. Her going out of her way to convince Suzuki to come back and dance was a sweet little moment. If it wasn't for her, I doubt that last dance could've happened between Suzuki and Sugiki so kudos to her unintentionally wing manning.

Just because people aren't liking your favorite BL doesn't mean they only care about seeing them fuck. People are allowed to dislike how the romance was presented. It is not that deep. If you jump to the conclusion that people just want softcore porn when they are talking about a lack of romance, that's a you problem, ngl. That's an extreme conclusion to reach for no reason.

With that being said, it wasn't bad by any means. I can understand the disappointment considering how the movie was lowkey promised in the trailers. Not everyone has read the manga to know that it's ongoing and the story hasn't reached a conclusion yet. Not to mentioned, the romance kinda seemed to come outta nowhere since the movie rushes a lot because they don't have the screen time to insert proper development. It feels like they are constantly jumping one plot point to another because they have to finish the movie within 2 hours.

The sensuality, the tension and the chemistry were absolutely top notch. The two main actors kicked it out of the park with their performances. If there is a 10 dance 2, then the ending isn't technically that bad but if it's actually just going to be a one off thing, that ending just leaves much to be desired.

Anyway, this deserved a full series considering it's adapted from a manga and they naturally had to cram in a whole bunch of information and omit a lot to fit the whole thing in a movie setting. A properly adapted series that explored all the nit bits of the manga would be phenomenal because it would actually explore their attraction more properly.

The moment he killed the dog was the moment I stopped caring about his fate by the end. I couldn't care less if he died.

Gaon was such an annoying character. The only reason he was tolerable was because he was riding on the coattails of Yohan's charisma and likeability. The dude was annoying from start to finish and that's saying something when Su Yeon and the professor existed and they were genuinely annoying characters too. The professor did nothing but bitch about his morals while he did nothing of substance to actually make an impact against the injustices happening. The fucking audacity.

I also didn't like how Su-Yeon existed just to be loyal and be an appendage to Gaon and to die for Gaon's character development, like are you for real now? Why even make her a female lead at that point? That role could have been fulfilled by a random side character who happened to be related or close to Gaon. Way to waste a genuinely good actress on a half-assed character like that who had nothing going on for her except for being obsessed with Gaon.

Yohan was really the only likeable character out of the entire main cast, damn. Carrying this entire series on his back. Everyone else with their half assed and shitty sense of moralistic justice just pissed me the fuck off. You have to be a spade if the enemy is playing by the spade's rules. Morality does not gain people justice in reality.

As pissed as I was with Gaon, I am sad how lonely he ended up by the end of all these. Yohan just left his ass like that and left with Elijah. Su-yeon died and the professor turned to be an ass himself. Judge Oh left for her hometown so he literally has no one left he knows in Seoul anymore. Seems like a setup for season 2 but it's been like 4 years and not a sight for season 2 is seen. Quite disappointing.

Absolutely anything and everything can be shipped as long as the characters involved are age appropriate for each other. There are no rules to shipping, especially regarding two men who were very obviously written to have non-platonic tension between each other. Absolutely no one would be questioning their relationship to be romantic if they weren't two men. Even more so when the novel was initially meant to be a BL but changed because the author wanted more mainstream attention.

If one of Juwon or Dongsik was a woman, they 100% would have ended up with each other because holy fuck. These men were YEARNING. Some of the best chemistry I have seen in a while.

Plot wise, it's so slow that it can be pretty annoying if you aren't into incredibly slow thrillers. This honestly was not my cup of tea. I prefer fast paced thrillers so this one just didn't scratch that itch for me that I was looking for. The characters are incredibly well written though. Some of the best character development you will see in a kdrama.

I know Lee Jung was the villain but holy shit, did I have a big fat crush on her, lmaooo. The actor who plays the shitty husband has an insane face card too.

All in all, a fantastic drama. The actors are phenomenal and really carry the drama. The story is obviously heart wrenching considering the subject matter it handles and it does so really well. One of the best 2025 drama.

How hard is it to NOT diddle children? Can't people like him find people his age to date? Gross man. Hope his career crashes and burns. People like him and Dara who knowingly diddle children deserve to get their careers crash to the ground.

I feel that Dakyung seriously got off way too easy. She was just as complacent as Tae Oh. She mocked and belittled Sun Woo knowing she was sleeping with her husband and she did not feel a little bit guilty for what she did. IMO, people who cheat on their spouse and people who willingly sleep with married people are all just as bad.

I am glad Ye Rim left Je Hyuk by the end. He kept on cheating on her and hurting her not giving a fuck about how she would feel if she found out. He was fucking around while she was dealing with serious fertility issues. I am glad she got out of that marriage. By the time he realized his actions were wrong, it was far too late to salvage their marriage.

This is just my opinion but

I think I first watched this back in 2021 and I am STILL waiting for a season 2 lol. The ending seemed to have teased a season 2 and I have been waiting since. It's a shame they never came back with a second season because this was very popular and successful when it came out.

Like seriously, it was so infuriating to see Da Kyung walking away with her rich af dad without minimal consequences. She was SO brazen the entire time when she was sleeping with someone's husband. At least the b*stard Tae Oh lost everything. His life with Sun Woo and his life with Da Kyung. While Da Kyung being an active participant, gets to walk away without much consequence.

Honestly, as interesting as the series was in the beginning, the ending was kind of lackluster compared to the overall runtime. Anyways, people saying this is a masterpiece, and the reason this got a low rating is because teenage girls didn't like it are so funny. I am in my 20s, and as much as I liked the beginning, the revenge wasn't satisfying at all. Y'all need to understand that just because you think something is a masterpiece, doesn't mean that other people will. Spoilers ahead:

She is such a talented and pretty lady; why throw away your entire career for a senile old cheating man? Truly a shame.

The actors had such great chemistry, but this desperately needed to be a series. You can't just cram a manga series with 49 volumes into 2 hours. I would love to watch a full-blown series with the same characters. Though movies like this are just treated as promos for the original material most of the time, there is little chance of this actually getting a full series adaptation.

Yokohama Ryusei was so charismatic. He looked so nice every time he was on screen, lol.

That ending made me want to bash my head on a wall. That prosecutor's betrayal really tore me apart. How can you watch a child get violated and be okay with covering for a disgusting animal like that for power and position? Where is the humanity?

My family and I teared up as we watched it. It was just so real and gritty, and you know these things happen in real life. Authority and money really make people omnipotent and above the law, and that's just so utterly disgusting. The "law" is really only for poor people and not rich people.

These types of movies really make me want to hurl, but the least I can do is educate myself on everything these children have gone through. Their stories deserve to be heard, and these monsters deserve to be known as the heinous monsters they are. It's also MASSIVE that the case was reopened after the movie gained more popularity and the Korean public became more aware of the case.

I am pretty sure that marriage or dating is common among actors. Actors are usually way less likely to be hated over romantic relationships compared to idols. Also, having romantic relationships doesn't magically make all of anyone's issues disappear. A person may commit suicide because of family issues, their own mental health issues, or even issues regarding their romantic partners. It's not right to assume it's always about the work they do.

It's also more like this particular generation of artists is at the age where most of them will be getting married.
