Thank you for indepth research ♥ truth be told, I was expecting to see how many favourite villains the speakers had if any, and if the villain was male or female; but I suppose that's idea for another paper ♥

I can only assume, that the show inside the drama, was shot under covid restrictions too lol

it sounds interesting, where can I watch it?

If you start on 3 episode, you don't miss out on much, because only then they start their island challenge

It was so interesting, if you like survival shows you will enjoy this one ♥

They should've used zombie girl more often, she was such a badass for two scenes, and that it felt like writer forgot about her potential.

It's a pretty decent dark comedy, but I truly didn't care about characters. Their characterization was dreadful. Also how come only our main boy got all the spotlight?

Yesss, Kim Jae Wook ♥♥ I hope this time it will be interesting drama ♥

Also I love how in the movie that casually included discord and vtubers ♥

Only now have I noticed that it's by Shimizu Takashi, the one that created the original The Grudge. No wonder cinematography looked familiar.

Thank you for this list ♥♥♥ I'm so happy now that I won't need to search everywhere for easy-going k-dramas ;;;;

where can I watch it? does it have eng subs?

Thank you for well developed answer ♥

Also, BL fans don't appear from thin air. There needs to be strong subtext or even (as was mentioned in comments) potential for that, for example in webtoon. But... commenters just treat BL fans as crazy shippers once again.

"Go watch BL then" you know that there aren't that many well-written ones? Or ones that have budget? Especially coming from South Korea? and I bet that people that comment regarding BL already watched everything there was in the catalogue (it doesn't metter how good it was), not only from South Korea, but other asian countries too. We are getting scraps. And so far none of big South Korean channels commited to introduce LGBTIQ+ themes.

I know that (I read the comments), but I'm still dissapointed with queerbait. K-Dramas tend to do it more often. Especially when bromance tag is included. But eh, sure. Too bad backlash doesn't exist for queerbait and not commiting to actual LGBTIQ+ narratives (or just making it tiny mention and nod).

Also, I just read the comments and... Somehow I feel disappointed.
You can't deny that the director included slow panning shots and flashbacks (to their discussions which happened minutes prior) to have the audience shipping two lads. Err... Even my little sis picked on that and she isn't even aware of BLs. But the romantic cinematography cliches just made it that way on purpose.
At this point, why not be adventurous and make everybody friends?

It can still be tagged as LGBTIQ+ or shounen ai tbh

can they perhaps introduce LGBTIQ+ elements in later half? ;

it would be cool to get bisexual character tbh... eh...
