I mean yeah I think honestly everyone is watching mainly for the cast and comedy lol you don't go into a kdrama called "True Beauty" and expect some mastermind next level deep plot lol. It's light and fun which makes it likable.

Like seriously they nerfed soo jin's likability so hard lmao I really liked her in the first half and now she has turned into a little manipulative, scheming b*tch which is too bad :( maybe she will get a chance at redemption though, I hope.

This show def has plenty of tropes that kdrama fans will be familiar with but it is still some how fresh and fun? I have not been bored yet and am enjoying the ride. :) It's also def funny and you will laugh! And ofc the characters def have flaws but that is a good thing, why do people expect characters to be perfect? lol If they were perfect there would be no conflict and we wouldn't have a show. I think for the most part though the characterizations have been consistent and decisions realistic based on their characterizations so I have no complaints. Except for a certain character but I guess they needed a villain for the second half...

Happy birthday mr multi talented king

Indeed, he is def doing better in True Beauty. :)

Um people can have an opinion... Anyway, he can def improve on his acting ability... I think he's getting better though.

He really came out of nowhere and hit it big, good for him!

I mean he has been a lead how many times now? In some popular dramas too. hes also prob one of the most well known young actors in korea rn.

Nam joo hyuk is def not a rookie at this point...

Yes same! :)

Yes! It is a good thing. I am confident we will get some longer (in number of eps and ep length) web series in the near future tho!

Lee Do Hyun destined for the crown~~

BL/Yaoi comics seem to have a niche popularity in Korea but this has not carried over to other forms of media.

Korea is still pretty conservative, especially for middle age people and up, and I can not see them putting BL dramas on prime time television. Korea also, unlike Thailand, has a large Christian population who obviously are usually against same sex relationships. I am sure there would be an outcry against it honestly if they did air a BL drama.

I also don't see older Korean Media executives signing off on BL projects for two reasons: the latter argument just made and also they prob don't think there is a market for it. There is a market, but I'm sure they aren't very aware or familiar with it. To be fair though, I am also not sure exactly how big the market is either for BL in Korea, like I said it has niche popularity in comics but I am not sure that would translate into a large the audience in relation to actual ratings a BL drama would get.

Lastly, I just can not see too many higher profile male actors signing on for a BL drama. Once again for the two reasons mentioned earlier. Would the project be successful? Would they get backlash? Would there careers be under threat? I mean there are a few obviously queer Korean celebrities who still have not dared to explicitly come out as Gay+ even though they without a doubt are. Anything tied to homosexuality still seems to be a possible career death sentence in South Korea and successful actors are not going to take that risk especially if there is little to no gain. They only actors I have seen do explicitly queer films were either not popular at the time or are still relatively unknown actors. Method might be an exception though.

Anyway sorry for the essay but this is my take . We might get a public or cable higher profile BL drama one day but not anytime soon. TL;DR The drama industry and Korean public at large in S Korea doesn't seem ready or interested in a high profile BL drama yet.

This one is really promising, enjoying so far :D

Hmm not surprised, honestly prob pro natalist propaganda since South Korea's birth rate is in the toilet.

True

That one child actor is literally cast in every drama lol good for him but are there no other good child male actors in SK right now???

Wow! Amazing. Season 2 for sure then.

Ending is Open to interpretation. It’s good tho.

I know, a boy can dream tho lol
