And also the subtle reference to Break up/hurt that Hee Su is going to have, makes me wanna hug 🫂 him. < I'm already in pain. Up till now Chan Young was dating people with no feelings involved, but it's different with Ji Yu and Hee Su feels it and omg I already want to give him a hug 😭

The idea that BLs need a straight couple to be more mainstream feels like a slippery slope. < I am not saying it's right, but it is sadly true at the moment.

And I am also 100% on board for straight rom-coms to have gay supporting/2nd couples I would LOVE to see that. And I think it's something that for sure should happen. But sadly the entertainment industry is run by money. And what sells is generic cliche straight romance.

Just because I would love BLs to have the same level of support and sponsors and production budget as BLs does not change the fact it is not how it is right now.

Under almost ever short kbl I see people complaining about how short it is, how low budget it is, how they wish we would get longer ones. But how can one achieve that without making the story more mainstream? I actually see it a bit similar to how rom-coms add 8746574897654 fucking different unnecessary plotlines because they want to make sure everyone can find something for themselves to like. It;s like no rom-com is just a romcom anymore, they all are also thriller, stalker or murder mystery. Why? Because that sells.

if they keep the main couple as gay, it; shardly straight washing to the extent people make it to be. People act as if they removed any part of gay representation from the story when the main plot is still BL, the main couple is still BL.

BL are NOT currently marketable in Korea. While you might have many creators that want to work on projects like that, you do not have many sponsors to invest. Why? Because this is a niche genre in Korea. Personally I rather have well produced, longer BL with a side straight couple, than 8 episodes long all 20 minutes long with limited budget. At least from time to time.

So you want complete separation? Straight rom-coms with just straight couples, and BLs with just gay couples and no dramas mixing?

Separating BLs and "straight" dramas provides dedicated spaces for different experiences and preferences. < and some people have preference of seeing both straight and gay romance as part of one story... I'm not saying remove BLs altogether. I'm saying some dramas can be straight romcom, some pure BL, and some can be both. It does not have to be one or the other.

They often try to do more than it's possible in a short show 🤡
I have no idea why, coz it;s not like this is what viewers even want 🤣

I see some people complaining we have a straight second couple, but like... do you guys want a better quality bl main couples and overall dramas or not? Coz the sad reality is - changing the profile on Korean entertainment industry to be more inclusive is a long process and we are sadly not getting improvement and budget is the drama is not more mainstream. An straight romance is more mainstream, and sells better in Korea so far.

Also, maybe it's just me, but I would actually appreciate if more shows had more mixed relationships - not just straight dramas with 100% straight couples, and bls with 100% gay couples. Of course I still want BLs to be BLs, but from time to time mixing shit up seems like a god idea, instead of separating the two completely.

Why is this so cute 😭 This is such a 180 from Secret Relationship, but it's so much fun.
Also this makes me want to have a crush. Not even be in a relationship, just have a crush.

Kim Seung Won is so adorable 😭
Lee Hee Su is hilarious 😂
I'm actually excited for both the BL pairing and the straight pairings.

This was exactly what I needed to watch after tiring week at work.
I totally went to watch the trailer to see some future cute moment, and bitches damn the trailer gives you nothing 🤣
It's a good trailer, but they truly made sure not to give any major spoilers in it 🤡

yeah i don't think this one would be safe 😂

With how Da On is presented, I kind of get why he went, for me the fact there was the request in the first place is just wild 😂

Oh nah, it's okay I got your comment, just wanted to clear the fact I actually also enjoyed it 😂

I want to be really clear, I did have fun time watching too, I'm just really interested in the idol and entertainment industry culture and since the show was so flat in that area I just could not move past that feeling of disappointment 🥲

Well, glad you were able to enjoy my review even if you disliked the show 😂 I honestly don't know why I vibes with it so much. It happens sometimes - right timing maybe 🤡

i remember how people on feeds were actually feeling emotional about some deaths and I was just laughing 🤣

it's not amazing, but it's fun. Fir sure had A LOT MORE potential tho 😭

Yeah... imagine if we had these 8 episodes but all 60 minutes long. How much of a better and slower development we could have gotten 😭

Okay... I love this show, but damn people are allowed to dislike it guys 🤡
My treasure is someone's trash, and their treasure might be my trash.
All good 👍🏻

And I get it, when someone makes a public comment or a review, they are opening themselves up to getting comments and replies to it too. BUT at some point you gotta ask yourself if there is even any benefit to you or them from starting the conversation. More often than not is just leads to both sides being frustrated.

not any knife, a butter knife hahaha that's conviction, coz it's not easy 🤡

I mean if he did not go full psychopath with kidnapping and trying to burn Da On alive, if they toned down this behavior, I could totally see him being diagnosed with bpd. He just went far and beyond with his actions 🥲

I don't really have much preference in terms of country. Maybe I lately vibe with Thai the least, since I feel like the producing too many and it's quantity over quality.

oh yeah, that's for sure. The romance here was not THE focus point. It was rather the overall picture of different type of relationships, the impact they have on you etc. Their relationship was not the main plot, it was just one of the elements of the plot.

Pretty sure have not seen it yet 🤣

Okay but I honestly LOVED how Jae Min did not give flying fuck about the ring not fitting at all like... damn he did not even get angry, he was past any sense of real emotions hahaha
