when it comes to any drama nowadays why does the director and producer and screenwriter always feel the need to…
The toxic and SA trope is something that is not new but are a remnants of first wave bl. The SA and abuse storylines is something I hope bls eventually phase out because it’s very rarely done with enough nuance BUT I do appreciate that some viewers like those tropes and I don’t begrudge them that.
I did not expect to be crying this episode. In Vee’s mind he’s losing the two people he loves. He must be feeling so empty and alone, left with no one. Damn. The heart just keeps breaking.
and she didn't recognise the guy who supposedly killed her.It's not that hard to find out details of what happened…
Yup. As soon as she showed up I knew the terrible black sheep of the family prepped her. But regardless, the test from the deity is about finding true love and that is Wee.
I'd like to believe that the people supporting this drama is in it for the plot and character development not…
I feel the same way. I said in no unequivocal terms last week after the episode aired that there’s no excuse for r*pe and I don’t think I saw people trying to excuse it either.

I think the difference between this series and My Stand In, is that no one is trying to (at least the majority isn’t) excuse or defend or normalise the toxicity in this series. Plus, for me at least, this feels like a fantasy (as in purely over the top fiction) that never really feels like ‘real life’ in the way My Stand In does.
I think the cousin's hatred towards him is because he's a successful writer and she's some mediocre one. And after…
Fair enough. I rarely pay attention to which writers tbh but I feel like being able to understand a character’s motivation at the very least, is the bare minimum and considering she’s one of the main antagonists. 😅 It’s weird because the other characters are not exceptionally well written but I get who they are and what motivates them.
This article is a great example of why I rarely click on the "writing" here. That said, not long after joining…
When I first started coming on here from years ago, (I was a lurker — I didn’t have an account) there used to be plenty and drama focused, now the good ones are one a penny and editorials and articles are being used to click bait/rage bait.
From time to time they will include a bl series in one of their editorial roundups. It’s where I’ve found some new-to-me bls in the past. But, yeah, they seem to have a no LGBTQ+ policy for their front page.

There’s a nice body of water back on that island too. 🙈👀
