Well it's good that you saw it as wrong! Because many people didn't. When I was reading the comments on Viki, some of them contained words like "romantic", "hot", "sexy", "sweet" and I just felt REALLY uncomfortable.

I really don't want to keep talking about this because we all have our own opinion and I'm not trying to make you change your mind but there's just one thing that kind of shocked me in your comment. "Silent consent" isn't a thing.. And it's really important that you know that. I'm not even talking about the drama anymore, just life in general. You should know that silent consent doesn't exist. Not verbally saying "no" doesn't mean that you're giving consent. So many sexual assault victims couldn't say "no" but that doesn't mean they weren't assaulted.

I understand what you mean but you see, this is exactly what I don't like. From what I've seen (since I didn't watch the last four episodes), what Gu Hai did was unforgivable. It was assault, I'm sorry, I know it's a scary word, but it's literally what it was. And as I said in my comment, it spreads the wrong message because his behaviour isn't right and since no one confronts him about it, people who watch it won't realize that it's wrong, if that makes sense. The scene in ep 11 was probably meant to be seen as romantic and that's a problem. Because it wasn't.
unpopular (negative) opinion: i couldn't finish this. too many long and boring filler scenes, shoddy production…
Oh I see exactly what you mean! I also noticed that they never really used any labels to define their sexuality or anything and not being a fan of labels myself, I didn't think much of it but now I completely understand your point.
I really hope someone subs this!! The cast looks so good and I love the soundtrack already (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rheYtCjapi0&list=PLVYe-iFUf0j9rBVjXfjKUc6LB_IcZTDf6&index=27)
He will always be my favorite. He is such a versatile actor and conveys real emotions when he's acting, he's truly amazing. Has anyone seen him in Kinky Boots? Absolutely brilliant!
This drama is one of the many reasons why Miura Haruma is my favorite actor. I admire him so much. He is such a versatile actor and he is absolutely amazing in this role.

Really? May I ask what exactly made you think that it was homophobic? I'm really interested in hearing more about your opinion. I usually hate BL dramas because they're always pretty homophobic but I really liked Sotus. I thought it was different and very well made so I'm surprised to see that someone doesn't see it the same way. Like even in interviews, when the actors talk about their characters' relationship for example, they're not awkward about it like other actors or act like kiss scenes are a big deal, they're very professional.
I feel like this series was made for teenage girls who enjoy watching cute boys interact with each other and make…
Eh, not really. I'm just not a fan of the concept, I guess. I find straight young girls who obsess over gay boys really creepy and honestly kind of gross. I was just hoping that this drama wouldn't target this particular audience but unfortunately it does. So I just stopped watching it.
the guy made some weird rape comments... it was so out of place and gross imo
I noticed that too. It made me a bit uncomfortable. I see that a lot in Thai dramas for some reason. But yeah, maybe it has something to do with the translation..
I guess you're right!
