Something seems off with this series. I don't know if it's the pace, the acting, etc. I'll try to watch a little more to see if I still feel the same. For now, I have difficulty getting into the story, etc.
so...people have talked about problematic tropes in BL but I hope we'll also talk about the problematic tropes in the famous manga Hana Yori Dango and all the adaptations of it...Abuse is not romantic....
Legendary BL. And such incredible actors too. This show and "Where your eyes linger" are my favorite BL from this year ! You can feel the sincerity behind it.
Don't think I can handle the BL kdrama drought when this ends ! Anyone got a BL drama recommendation that can…
Maybe Kleun Cheewit (with Yaya) : https://kisskh.at/13865-kleun-cheewit ? In terms of chemistry, tension and raw emotions, etc...It is not BL though but the FL is not that common and quite complex (strong but vulnerable, etc.). I can only think of this one (even though if it is not perfect) in terms of the relationship dynamics you are looking for.
I've watched some scenes on twitter and it seems really good and well-acted (it is not sparks but lightening at this point...)
But I think I'm going to wait a little before watching the whole series for two reasons : - Episodes are too short - I have trust issues with korean dramas T-T So I better prepare myself ! Because something is telling me the ending won't be happy (I hope I'm wrong)...
Such a nice and lovely series ! And I didn't know it was the director of Sotus who made this ! No wonder it was good ! I'm excited for season 2 (please come faster T_T)
PS : if the series still maintain that level of quality, I think I'll like even more the second season !!!!
But the series itself are like Kpop. This is just about cute boys doing cute things. About pleasing an audience…
I don't know....I also think it is more like going mainstream and popular. There is a power in number. It is also related to the fandom culture (and fandom exists in every genre). However, that doesn't mean that some mainstream or popular products cannot be interesting. It is more like some of those who make those "products" think the audience is stupid. That's why I'm also annoyed by the ending. I also think that since we're in a competitive environment, people tend to have that frame of mind with what they enjoy. Everyone is at fault, in a way (well, perhaps not everyone).
Sigh, I didn't know nowadays that BL fandoms are turning like Kpop fandoms....All of this is now a big competition between series and ships....Please give me back the time it was still a niche market...at least it was more "peaceful"....even if the production and the budget were quite low....Well, I guess when it becomes very popular, you have those kind of attitudes...(it is not specific to BL and Kpop though, just see Star Wars fandom or anime fandom, they are no better).
A lot of people including me, is very curious if Bright will dip his foot in the BL pond again or run away screaming…
Before them, I wish to see other actors who seem far more promising ! For instance : Yin/War in another (BL or other genre) series, especially War Wanarat TT. That young man has "something" (you can feel the "heartbreak" in his eyes -he doesn't need words-) ! I think Win has potential, but frankly speaking, they are better actors than him for now. He still has a lot of room for improvement.
Lol I love Win but the crying scenes..... oof. Not ugly, imo, just cringy given the context.
I think his crying (in itself) was ok. It is just the transition between two scenes is usually so abrupt you're wondering why he's suddenly crying though ? It lacks the "progression" to it ?
Such a cute, funny (and heartbreaking) episode I like it so much !
