An adaptation never depicts accurately its original source. The original is always better, because it's impossible to produce a movie or a TV series that will be exactly the same, especially when the original is a book. As much as I like a book, I never expect its adaptation to be as good because it's just impossible. So judging a film or TV series based on the accuracy compared to the original material is never a good idea I think, it's kind of stupid, because disappointment is guaranteed.

If anyone is looking for this short film, please send me a message.

Probably one of the most disappointing sageuk I have ever watch unfortunately. I was very excited for this one, and the production is indeed great, nothing to say on that, expect that Shin Sae Kyeong's character and its development in this story is one of the worst for me. I like Shin Sae Kyeong a lot but this character is a big flop and it ruined the whole drama for me.

I disagree. For me there is a clear bromance between Khem and Chatra in "Man Suang", even though the focus isn't on it during the movie and it's not heavy, but build slowly through the story. And the end shows clearly that there is a strong bond formed between them.
As for the promotion, I have not seen the movie officially presented as a BL or homosexual romance, except that, of course, Apo and Mile were associated.

"Man Suang" was never presented as a BL movie, it's only the fandom around Apo and Mile that hyped that. It's an historical thriller movie, a good one for me, but of course you can hint at some bromance between their characters, Khem and Chatra. So it's nice indeed that a TV series will explore their relationship further.

Japanese dramas always have the weirdest ways to confess and express their feelings, and I love it. ^^

After episode 3 Fukada Ryusei is the only reason I will keep watching this because the story is quite boring, considering episode 4 preview, nothing significant will happen in the next episode, and it seems like the frustrating type of drama where things will only really move in the last episode.

We haven't seen Inha's mother, but Jang Geum Seok is only Sung Hoo and Hee Joo's mother. The eldest, In Ju, was born from a previous wedding. He calls Jang Geum Seok "Mrs. Jang".

This comment is totally wrong. Watch both full episodes seriously. They spoke more Japanese than English, and we definitely see more Japanese people than English and Portuguese characters. You can dislike it if you want but don't write nonsense misleading others.

You probably know better than all the Japanese actors and staffs that participated in this production. How infatuated some people can be seriously...

Right from the start it's so good. A great one here, can't wait for the next episodes.

Even in the men "adult" industry it's quite a niche (although some Japanese twins have a great success haha), so I don't think we will see that for a "mainstream" drama before long. ^^
The problem with this is that some people keep ignoring the clear definition of what is an incest. People can dislike, hate or be inconfortable with it, but that's not incest. And even if they were blood-related brothers, that wouldn't be that grave after all, because incest is first and foremost a taboo regarding the altered descendance that an incestuous relationship between a man and a woman could bring.

That's a perfect little gem we have here. Can't wait for the next episodes !

Looking forward to another season. That's the thing I dislike with Netflix productions. Nowadays they make very small seasons, too frustrating for me.
But this was actually very good. Flawless acting, superb production, simple plot, that's not very original neither, but the execution is interesting, with a good balance and some depth. I liked the touches of humour well dosed too.

I get your point because I felt that too for "Ameiro Paradox". But this time it works for me so I'm happy with it. ^^

I don't agree with you because they already showed that a lot in the previous episodes. I think anybody understood at this point. The focus was too much in this episode, and didn't bring anything new on this problem. If it had brought something, yes, why not, but we didn't get really much more than we already saw before. It could have been shorten and not take so much place in that episode, so I understand the frustration of many viewers because even if I find it interesting, I also wondered, at some point, when they would move on because it was nothing new from the previous ones, where this aspect was already well shown, and it felt really dragged on in this episode. It doesn't mean that people just want to see the characters "to kiss and fuck", as you wrote, but that it felt like they wasted a lot of time on this.

That's a surprising comment actually, because from a Japanese point of view, it's objectively a pretty fiery kiss. I don't think "bland" is very accurate. But I guess that's understandable from your point of view if you don't see and feel any chemistry between them.

The last episode was a bit dull with all the overwork thing that we already got a long time ago with the previous episodes. It didn't bring anything more to the story for most of it, but luckily they made the last few minutes of the episode worth it. Unfortunately because of this episode it will not be a perfect drama anymore for me, but it's still a very good one. I'm really impressed by how Japanese always succeed to cast young actors so talented, able to tell so simple story with so much depth in it the same time. Japanese BL superiority can't be beaten in that regards in my opinion.

It started very good but the last episodes made it very less enjoyable. Mizuki is a really annoying character and Sakae's passive behaviour is one of the things I dislike the most to watch. Too bad, it really started good.

Never wrote that androgynous men don't exist... I wrote that she don't pass as a man but just a woman disguise with man clothes for me so it's look fake and ridiculous. Good for you if it's not the case and you enjoy the drama as it is.
