The thing is, in the novel we can read BLY's point of view, and he does want to have sex with GH. The problem…
well i kind of commented a really long response, but i decided to delete it because i don't want this to turn into some big argument. neither of us would change our minds anyway so it'd be entirely fruitless and we'd just get frustrated at each other lol. i mean, i'll never understand how anyone could like any of the characters you mentioned, but that's just me and everyone has different opinions and values. i'm not here on mdl to fight or anything, just to track dramas haha. i wish you well :))

i mean i don't disagree with you either, i did watch the whole thing and enjoyed the show itself, but it feels weird to me to see so many people defending him as a "toxic flawed character" when he toes more towards the line of a r**ist than a messed up person. he kinda literally kidnapped BLY and tied him up LOL. just from what i've seen, it seems like people are only really defensive of it because it's gay. i feel like it was a m/w or if GH wasn't good-looking, reactions would be different.
i'm not too sure about padme/anakin and ezra/aria cuz i haven't watched star wars and PLL, but out of the examples i don't recall them ever kidnapping them, tying them up, forcing themselves on the other, etc. T^T i think there's a pretty big difference between toxic and illegal.
i'm also not saying shows shouldn't include these types of characters because obviously everyone has flaws and isn't perfect, but i am saying they shouldn't really be romanticized to be an ideal type of person/lover/partner, esp if they're practically r**ists like GH. just in my opinion T^T
the eps leading up to ep 24 were so so slow, but i thought that post-ep 24 was super cute. all the romance bits were really nice, the business stuff not as much lol. definitely refreshing to see the role reversal and the healthy relationship dynamic (although not so great actions here and there). probably could've done with less eps esp the middle ones. still entertaining though
what makes this series great isn't the series itself, rather your interpretation of it and the characters after you finish. with a seemingly okay ending, once you start thinking back on the events that unfolded, that's when you realize how incredible the show is. it's truly up to you and your mindset on how the series actually ended.
i love how they represented so many different types of familial relationships in the same residency. it was so heartwarming to see such different people with different stories begin to get along and understand one another after taking the time to learn about each other. i grew to love every character for their individual flaws. daiki and nana are honestly one of my dream ships because wow they were such an incredible couple, portrayed so perfectly by kenichi and kyoko. i wasn't thrilled about the ending, but i also really appreciate it at the same time. loved it!!!
YESS FINALLY!!! i was just wondering when i'd get to see eunji again and this time in a thriller :') so excited to see how she does with the genre switch
i really loved the slow buildup of their relationship for it to come to that kind of ending. i certainly wasn't expecting it tbh, but it added a nice layer towards the overall message of the film. takumi and minami both did an incredible job. i probably wouldn't recommend this if you were looking for a romance-heavy terminal illness story because the focus isn't much on romance, rather on the value of life. i personally enjoyed how it wasn't focused on romance on the brink of death.
to be fair, she had a pretty minimal role and only in like the beginning and end . i honestly nearly missed her too somehow T^T . maybe because she wasn't the cute happy grandma she usually is? LOL
idk maybe i suck at searching or we have different results cuz i cannot find a single thing about them getting married LOL or even announcing that they're getting married. are we talking about the same couple???
miseon and eunchul are like my ideal couple omg. they were so sweet to each other and communicated so well. i need a spinoff or something to complete their story
