Wow, this comment section blows now. Sorry guys but you are blowing this out of proportion. Number one, he did…
Absolutely, the wave of comments here is quite the spectacle. Now, onto the discussion at hand regarding the alterations in "Only Friends."
Firstly, it's a tad curious to observe the shift in the narrative to ensure the character Top is perceived in a specific light. Art, in its essence, is subjective. The beauty of a narrative often lies in its ability to foster diverse interpretations and discussions. By tweaking the original content to guide the audience to a particular understanding, aren't we spoon-feeding the narrative a bit too much? It's like adding a laugh track to a sitcom; the audience is smart enough to know when to laugh.
Secondly, while the intent might not be to appease shippers, the act of altering content post-release can be perceived as a tad pandering. It's akin to saying, "Oops, you got it wrong; let me fix that for you." It creates a precedent, where the narrative is subject to change based on public reaction, which could potentially dilute the original essence of the story.
Lastly, the division within this comment section is testament to the ripple effect such changes can have on a community. It's a mini drama series unfolding right here, with each comment being a cliffhanger leading to the next episode of discussions, debates, and, of course, a sprinkle of friendly banter.
So, while the exhaustion stemming from the blame game is understandable, it's also essential to reflect on the broader implications of such narrative alterations. It opens up a Pandora's box of discussions around artistic integrity, audience intelligence, and the delicate dance between creators and consumers in the ever-evolving world of storytelling.
A whimsical brew in the BL (Boys' Love) realm where scripts bow to the tweets, and plotlines are at the mercy of hashtags. It's where every retweet reshapes a character's fate, and trending topics become the next episode's title. Forget the director's chair, in 2023, it's the Twitterati calling the shots in this narrative fiesta.
Oh, it seems the director's traded the script for Twitter scrolls! Now the plot twists at the whim of retweets, making each episode a wild ride in the social media merry-go-round. It's not about storytelling anymore, it's tweet-telling. Forget “Directed by Jojo”, it’s “Directed by Twitter, Scripted by Hashtags.” The drama’s no longer unfolding on screen, but in 280 characters or less. Now, who needs a well-crafted storyline when you’ve got the ever-trending Twitterverse steering the narrative? It’s a modern-day drama saga, directed by the retweet button, with a side of fan service. Bravo on the interactive plot chaos!
Oh, where do I even start? So now, the director’s swapped out his creative compass for Twitter polls? Forget about plot consistency, let’s serve a hot mess of fan service, stirred with the whims of the week. It’s like watching a drama stew getting spiced up by tweets, only to be served with a side of plot holes. I mean, who needs a well-thought-out script when you've got the ever-so-reliable realm of social media feedback, right? They might as well title the next episode “Directed by Twitter”. At this pace, by season's end, we'll need a map to navigate through the storyline—or what’s left of it! Ah, the fine art of catering to the shippers, one tweet at a time. Bravo!
Amane catching a cold in the rain is a BL trope as old as time, yet the director managed to not make it a cringe-fest, which is a feat in itself. The scene was handled with a finesse that kept my face from contorting into a cringe, a small victory for clichés everywhere!
Ah, "My Personal Weatherman," where the heartbeats sync but emotions often misfire. It's like watching two dashing men, speaking the same love language yet hailing from different emotional planets. They’re drawn together by the magnetic pull of affection, tethered by invisible heartstrings, yet, oh boy, when it comes to syncing up emotionally, it's as if they're using high-tech translators with a penchant for misreading the room. The poetic irony! They resonate yet miscommunicate, like a pair of aesthetically pleasing, emotionally clumsy aliens trying to decode the language of love, amidst a meteor shower of misinterpreted feelings. Ah, the cosmic comedy of romantic resonance and dissonance!
If you had to choose one who would you say is your least favorite charactor?
Oh, the delicate dance of disdain! When it comes to picking the lesser of two posh evils, Top and Ray, it's like choosing between a poke in the eye or a kick on the shin. Both heirs to the throne of affluence, with a bouquet of irksome traits to their name. Yet, Ray, with his penchant for a tipple and a pill, often gets handed the sympathy card. Top, on the other hand, oh dear, I can't find a single feather in his cap worth applauding.
The moment Top set his romantic sights on Mew, my eyes rolled so far back, they almost saw the inside of my head. His attempt at wooing Mew with a 'passionate sketch' was less heart-melting, more gut-churning. I'm here, arms wide open, for any Top aficionado to step into the ring of debate, maybe they can sketch a more flattering picture of him that could sway my disdain. Ah, the whimsy of whims I harbor!
thank you so much for this adorable and sweet review. season 1 has been my comfort series since I began watching…
Thank you for chiming in! It's heartwarming to see many enjoying this show. Currently soaking up the drama live on TV here in Japan. If you're hunting for a legal streaming haven, GagaOOLala's the place. Yet, brace yourself, as the subtitle translations might stage a little comedy of errors. A neat trick? Scour through the threads on kisskh - there’s often a good Samaritan recommending fansubs. Some generous subbers even drop translation notes, serving as a nifty bridge for us Western viewers to traverse the cultural nuances. Happy drama binging!
Many Asian BL dramas don’t play by Chekhov’s rules, and spoiler alert: no one’s dying in this show!
Well, my dear friend, in the wild world of online speculation, it's a bit like detective work with a sprinkle of gossip, isn't it? We're all hoping for the best, but as Sherlock might say, "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." So, while we take scriptwriter Jojo at their word, let's keep our fingers crossed and our conspiracy theories in check, shall we? 🕵️♂️😄
This is from Tumblr by @chawarin-panich / chawarin-panich.tumblr.comThat I agree with wholeheartedly!"Nick is…
Whoever penned this has a PhD in Love Dynamics and a side gig in comedy! It’s like reading a romantic saga, but with punchlines. Kudos to the writer – you've got Nick-level charm with words! 😂🖋🌟
Absolutely! Life's not always a tidy love story, and neither is drama. Sometimes, we've just got to let the script, not the ship, steer the show. And hey, college sweethearts? More like college sweet-starts!
I hate to rain on the parade since so many are rooting for their favorite pairs to get a fairy tale ending. But deep down, I wrestle with the idea. I lean towards them drifting back to just being friends, or even growing apart. Maybe a Season 2 could make some realize: perhaps they're better off not as lovers. 🍃🤷♂️🌌
