I'm half way through ep 21, and I can't work out what the heck the cousin's deal is? Why all this drama? Hopefully it will become clear. I do not trust the cousin one little bit.

When they stick to original point, the shows are great. I find it is when they wander off into lakorn territory is when things go badly.

It's like they took the scripts from other BL's and mashed them together:
1) Step By Step - clueless intern, model/actor ex-boyfriend
2) Wedding Plan - gay guy with fiance as cover
3) Love Mate - advertising agency, model/actor ex-boyfriend
4) Dinosaur Love - cute but boring male lead that every other man lusts over. Why?
There's probably more, but I agree, we're TIRED of the lack of originality.

That was my thought too. Not another drama with a man who is engaged, falling for someone else. I'm SO over this plot line. I was hoping it was a translation error, and she said "your friend"

There's a lot of people on here condemning Dong Joo for stealing the manuscript in the first place, but no-one seems to be saying how much his naive, clueless, airheaded mother keeps putting him into financially impossible positions. She is like a child, with no remorse, and just floating through life with no thoughts to the consequences of her actions. She just brushes off his attempts to get information about his father, saying it's in the past & not important. I'm finding her very frustrating as a character. Having said all that, this is one of the best shows I have seen in a long time, and a prime example of why Korean crime thrillers are SO much better than American cop procedurals.

You are right. Lom and Yiwa are virtually expecting their loved ones to spend their lives being a dirty little secret, so that they look good to their families. I know this show is not that deep, but it is raising some interesting moral questions, and it is good to see people discussing it. If it was real, can you imagine being Nuea, never able to be open with his own family, never being able to attend any public function with his partner, having to always meet in secret. That would be a horrible life.

I understand that Asian cultures respect the older generations. What I don't get is why they don't try to break the cycle. If your parents have been controlling and dictating your life and making you miserable, why on earth would you do the same thing to your own children?

I just realised that Lom's mother wants them to live with her! OMG, no way. Run away now!

Actually I am curious. What is the real parental pressure? Are they being threatened with disinheritance or being cut off financially? Do they have to be married to inherit the family business (whatever that is)? Or is it just the delusional mothers? If it is only the mothers, then they have every right to do what they want with their lives, and to tell their mothers to butt out!

I guess this kind of arranged marriage does happen, especially for gay people facing family pressure, but are they thinking what happens after the wedding? They would have to live together because the mothers would be 'just dropping by' constantly, and there would be pressure to produce grandchildren. There is no way they could get married and keep living their seperate lives with other partners.

I never fast forward through episodes, but when those mothers appeared... It was like the managers in Be Mine Superstar.

If iQIYI rates Dinosaur Love at 9.5 (wtf), then this should be 20/10

Does anyone else think that Charn (Film) looks a bit like Nanon without the dimples? My brain tends to look for similarities and patterns, so I'm often "OH he looks like him".

I hate that too. So many shows are advertised as being on iQIYI.
iQIYI: not in Australia, so suffer.

It is on Youtube on ONE31's channel, also on Myasiantv.cx

But you have to wonder why his father was initially so keen to make him think it was him and let him take the blame. And i agree about the ship!

I installed the app, but maybe it's region locked because Hidden Agenda is not on the site for Australians.

I dropped this half way through ep4, and the rating here has dropped to 6.5 so i feel vindicated. Over on iQIYI it is rated at 9.5 - do they have a different show, or are they all drunk??

On iQIYI Dinosaur Love is rated at 9.5!!!! What are the people on?? Are they watching the same show??
