episode 6 when Careless Whispers started playing for the seduction music, I busted out laughing. I love that Lee Gi Kwang is the second lead in this!!! So Adorkable . What is with those high waist pants though. I feel like he is wearing Dad jeans or something.
too much angst....lol....It is true...it's more cruel to say that you like someone, but only want to stay as friends.…
I have to say that I disagree. She likes him and wants to be friends with him. He has a momentary crush that is likely to pass quickly. He isn't really being "rejected" 8 times, he is being told she values him as a friend 8 times and that she is not interested in more. I think she has been clear without being hurtful. If it really was holding him back from moving on, then they might have to have a talk, but this guy isn't turning away other opportunities for her. I do like LYS. I acknowledge that the guy following her around was not easily discouraged. I also don't believe he had pure motives. He liked her looks, not HER. In her way, she may have felt like she was doing him a favor... but that is definitely not the way to handle everyone.
I haven't watched Drinking Solo, but this is also my favorite season of LE. I really like the more in-depth characterizations…
You should give Drinking Solo a try, for sure. I originally watched a few minutes of the first episode and it didn't draw me in, so I dropped it. Later, it was personally recommended it to me by a dramafan friend, so I gave it another try. I ended up loving it!
Watching episode 12 and I am kind of horrified at what Dae Young and Woo Sun are eating. raw hamburger, raw egg and live octopus all in one sitting. I am not an adventurous eater to begin with. This meal is too much for me.
I am wondering if he is consciously into her romantically or if he really is thinking of her as a friend, at this point. He did specifically say they were friends. It is clear that he is being jealous over her. I thought it was so cute when he told her not to tell her birthday to the TA either... when she refused to tell him. I can't believe up to ep 8 and there still hasn't even been anything like an accidental kiss.
Well I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If they genuinely think he has poor acting skills they…
I really like Im Soo Hyang's style of acting. I actually only gave this drama a chance because she is in it and I have liked her in past dramas. I think she is playing low self esteem/awkward/nervous very well. This is my first time hearing of/seeing Eun Woo. It is too early for me to judge his acting. I don't think he is terrible. I thought the scene with his father was ok. Unfortunately the role he is playing is someone that does not share his feelings, so I am afraid he may not have the opportunity to show a bigger range of emotion. Will wait for the first kiss to decide if the chemistry between the couple is good or not... kind of disappointed we didn't even get an accidental kiss in ep 8. Not even an arm around her under the umbrella!
why does this drama take so long to get subbed compared to other popular airing dramas like 30 but 17, voice 2,…
With Viki, it depends on the team that is subbing them. Some teams are on it and it is subbed within an hour or so.... and others take up to a week. At least you can watch before the subs are done. On Dramafever, I have been very impatient to see the new ep of My Id is Gangnam Beauty. I am hoping they will post earlier today. I am in EST time zone ... and it has been posting quite late at night.
Glad to see I was not the only person who loved Taoba Yu from Princess Weiyoung/ Vanness Wu. I was certainly not shipping him because he was a bad guy... but he certainly had a charm. I would love to see him as the leading man next time.
Not a lot of love in the comments here... kind of has me worried about watching the last 2 episodes. Spoil it. Tell me is it a happy ending... yes or no?
Oh, Interesting! I don't know the exact laws for each... just the results. I watch a lot of dramas from all 3 countries plus Thai and Japanese dramas when I can find them. In general, I know all 3 shy away from lgbtq full on relationships. ... and no worries, I didn't think you were arguing it. I was just recommending a good drama, that was applicable to the topic. Each country has their own way of portraying it, without portraying it. I know many complain that the fake outs are disrespectful to the gay community. In my opinion the writers and directors are doing their best to get that topic some screen time. That will, in turn, give that topic a chance to be discussed in homes, in a no pressure/positive way. I have noticed, just from watching many dramas: Korean dramas tend to do Girl dressed as a boy. Boy falls in love with girl... but while thinking she is a boy. Boy wonders if he is gay. Decides to confess love. Then finds out boy is actually girl. Chinese dramas tend to let you read between the lines. They can't show smoking but they might show cigarette buts in the ash tray, if you know what I mean. Taiwanese dramas have used many methods. Befriend is the first one I am see with "BL fantasy" as an excuse to show gay love scenes. I probably watch Taiwanese dramas the least, so maybe I have missed something. In my experience, this drama is already ground breaking with just those scenes. On top of that, (this is unconfirmed) I think Ding Ding may actually be a gay charater. Both of those are huge. It is my first time ever seeing male to male kiss from an Asian tv show. I thought it was such a moving scene, after, I started to wonder if I am like Duan Duan. lol. I haven't completed it yet, but I agree with your gf. Ding Ding/Chan Liang isn't going to happen. The direction of the story is definitely pointing toward Chang Liang and Kang Le You getting together. I think they are going much further with this than any other shows have though. I have high hopes that Ding Ding will at least confess. That will also be huge, if it happens.
Are you just starting it? If so, tell me when you have watched ep. 4. Then I will give you my opinion. I think overall, the restrictions are similar for regular tv in China Taiwan and Korea. Each country does deal with this topic, slightly different. I honestly don't hate the way Chinese writers/directors get around it. Have you watched Love O2O ? https://kisskh.at/15031-love-o2o It is Chinese. There is a side character relationship that will show you how China deals with the topic. They do not remove it completely, but you have to read between the lines to know what is really going on. If you haven't, I recommend you watch it. https://www.dramafever.com/drama/4947/love-o2o-/ Then read the material it is based on. I say material because it is more of a collection of roughly written incidences between some of the side characters rather than an actual linear story.

do i have to watch the first and second season to watch the third season?
Agree. You don't have to watch previous seasons. I loved season 1. Then I loved season 2 even more. It is too early to rank season 3, but I am enjoying it. This season is giving me a Reply series vibe, with the flashbacks. I think that may have a bit to do with the lead actresses accent, too.
is this drama good for diets? suitable for those who want to lose weight?
I suggest you only watch episodes before or during your meals. I am not Korean, and there are foods I don't find appealing; like chicken feet covered in chili paste or whatever it is. Still, there are plenty of scenes that will make your mouth water.

Btw, what is Guardian?
