It will be interesting to see gay culture in a film, especially cross-culturally. After seeing the reports of…
I don't think KBLs generally have had an issue with gym dudes. Plenty of the most popular ones have perfectly normal guys in them, and definitely some that read more feminine.
It's an adaptation. They don't have to fit everything in. Just as a movie adaptation of a book does not contain everything that happens in the book, this will take its own approach to the story.
Nam Yoon-su has gained over 25k followers on Instagram this past month, and has now crossed 1.7 million followers. It underlines what he said today about getting far more supportive messages 💛
I am sure if Song Kang was in a BL series then Koreans would destroy his carrier definitely .
Yeah, some are already making a stink about his gay cameo in Escape earlier this year, so yeah there's no way someone as high profile as him could do BL.
Can't believe this has lower rating than family by choice rn. Mdl ratings are so inaccurate
Comparing the rating of a finished drama with one that has aired 2 episodes makes no sense. The majority of viewers tend to wait to rate a drama until after it has concluded.
I am already enjoying Family by Choice far more though, and it seems more sure of itself within the "slice of life" scope, so I won't be surprised if it's higher after it ends, too.
Queen of tears in my opinion is one of the worst written dramas in kdrama world. Its all over the placeIf anyone…
Anyone who follows kdramas knows that Park Ji-eun is excellent and she has already created several popular masterpieces that have stood the test of time. So will QOT. There's a reason it set records in domestic TV ratings and had 800+ million viewed hours on Netflix.
As the controversy grew, the production company backed down, saying, "We will re-release the trailer starting on the 16th." They explained, "The drama's main review board said it is not suitable for youth viewing, so the trailer was temporarily kept secret in order to undergo a re-review by the Korea Media Rating Board (KMRB)." However, the trailer had already received OTT's own rating classification, and there was no need to keep it secret for the KMRB's review.
Kim Heon-sik, a popular culture critic, expressed concern, saying, “It is an inappropriate decision to pressure the production company by only watching the trailer without even watching the original broadcast content, and for the production company to comply and delete it. This could further promote a culture of hate.”
- TVING getting criticized for removing the trailers. They say they'll be reuploaded tomorrow.
If this were a kdrama, what would happen is that someone in the conservative government would place a phone call to the TVING CEO and subtly threaten them with a reduction of grants/support from the Ministry of Culture if they did not find a way to cancel the drama. We'll see if reality is better.
