Just complete ep-5...Really want to know how in the actual fu*k is this rated so low?!! I mean, I have seen it…
Mmm, in this case i would say maority had seen and liked more thai version, or others might not watch it because not liking the thai either, as was suggested before. I personally applaud this one. I would not say it is better than Thai first version, but i would say it stands out among bl series and I am grateful for this version and how they did not avoud explicitness. And how they saied it in doing it smooth. And unike other series i don't tend to compare it with Old-Fashioned Cupcake, which is nice for a change. :)
Desire started out poorly and has proceeded to go poorly! Thought I was the only one who thought so! Lol! They…
Yummy, and put those hands down, dear ape, we are young and yummy (33 here, so...). XD U can probably call me oppa, i personally allowed you to. :D So - always? Really?
u mean that idiotic twitter spam? XD i commented on it today; anyways - if korean, then The Time of Fever (2024),…
Hm. 🤔 Time of Fever Eh. Egrrrrrmmmm… You see there are only a few things I get obsessed with these days, and since the average or majority of Korean series I get what the first comments said and why. And I did like The Unintentional Love Story much, and it's my niche, I love what the main leads had to show me. I am not a hater of student stories at all, I don't mind any and every flavor of it despite I am more into age gaps, office romances and stuff like these and adult actors rather than kids and… well, students. There is only one I Told Sunset About You - there is only this series or story I know of that would to such extent work with sensuality throughout action and visuals. And as there is only one I Told Sunset About You, there is only one Time of Fever.
I was only slowly prepared for what is gonna come to me, but not through Unintentional Love Story, but with the help of A Breeze of Love. I did know there is potential to be deep for the second couple thanks to Unitentional Love Story - I did notice there is something. But with the constrictions of time and space we had, it being Korean, I came to terms with them being showed as flat characters and couple in this series. I had no clue the they are preparing any follow up from ULS. I had no idea that there was this original material where there is something about these two characters/side couple. And I kind of did forget about the whole series (until I found out the connection and rewatched it all again, which is again something I would not do for the series itself and it is not something I do very frequently, I more like do it nearly ever). What I try to say here is I opened it as a totally and fully new series that someone else recommended. And I watched it as a separate unit, no connections whatsoever from the original story that was filmed and released first. So it is not that if you were not into the couple in first series that it is gonna affect you in any way for watching this series. Or it might because you remember and maybe it's up totally not your thing, their story. But: I was totally completely end up absolutely giving up on Korean series in certain respects, like on-screen kisses and portrayal of BL couples. Openness, in general. And maybe one more thing I say what I want to do say and why I am writing all this: I am this type of interesting before perfect or beautiful. I am this type who is not gonna roast you if it does not make logical sense but if it doesn't make emotional sense, we are going to have issues and I am giving up on your project. Like it might have inconsistencies and logical faults and I might cry or I might try to pull out my hair out of my head, but I'm fine with that but mind you if you touch your wrongly the inside worlds of the characters, you are in big trouble. I don't require difficult stories I don't require intricate complex Storytelling or even endings that would avoid being ambiguous - I don't mind it not being a clear cut end, happy or sad. All that is fine with me. And that is why I appreciate you showing me How you in life action and body essentially through action and visuals. I can't really appreciate how difficult or simple your story is what I can appreciate is congruency in emotions and the internal logic of characters with their experiences and emotions. What you can show me through camera language besides the story is the emotions of the characters. If you do so correctly, and deep enough, and it makes sense for the characters and for the story, I will give you 10 out of 10 even if you messed up something significant from the lenses of logic itself. I am the audience who loves seeing embodied difficult emotions on camera. If you say lust, if you want then out of 10 from me, I expect lust to be embodied. Either the way I imagine it or you are gonna show me how you imagine it and improve my inner understanding of that word. Or if you don't enhance it ,you at least somehow evolve it.Let me learn new things about the word and my image of it in me. Let me see how these two characters understand their word and how it works in their dynamics, the wilder, the more passionate, the better.
If I say I learned more about sensuality through watching not only but as well I Told Sunset About You, and that is why I Promised You the Moon couldn't overcome the first season in my eyes (that plus the deep betrayal portrayed there is really hard topic, especially if we are staying in the first season lenses of sensuality and deep feelings of the two characters towards each other, the great gap made in second season could never get closed enough, healed enough after it happened, so technically you could learn more about betrayal, how it hurts and not even how, but that it could be overcomed), then with The Time of Fever, I learned more about Did combination of craving this dsire despair the pure liquid need To put it into context, it is told in times where you don't expect them anymore to be willing to show anything explicit on screen, where they avoided it at all costs, where you are given all the time dead fish kisses, where they pretend as there is no emotional life in the characters, in males, where the reputation of idols ast them being strictly straight obviously and publicly is more important than the outcome of project they agreed to a participate on, where being gay is something that is widely accepted yet what is not acceped is it being portrayed in any way realistic onscreen, not to even mention to put there the bomb of it being emotional on screen. Or just making it feel normal on screen please, just don't make every and any of the stories that started really promising and then delivering very underwhelming scenes rigidly avoiding any intimacy. And you are in the bubble of waiting for something really normal looking like, where they are not gonna entirely avoid it, where it is not being portrayed as if it is being forced on to the actors. like in the story for the story itself, expecting you are only gonna see the standard that was set since the beginning of boy love genre being shooted in Korea till now… and then in that moment without any warnings aside from it being really a good series since nearly beginning, promising and everything, like giving you No clue whatsoever there's not only they are gonna show you something that is above average in comparison to any category from any country but as well it is the first true camera visuals and acting and relationship portrayal of of the raw emotion of craving and how it manifests if you are approaching it with feelings not with Mac making calculations and manipulations. like the raw need the raw desire the action and then the consequences, back it all and send it.
And so, I am not making you go watch it. I just observe you can never calculate in advance what is going to make it, and what is gonna do it for you, and when. I think I was not watching it while it was airing, that is why I had the advantage of being able to swallow it down without logic, brain, thinking, overthinking coming in the way, messing with my purely emotional experience. For the moment of pure shock and then other surprise and then more shock and realization of what they did and how much it worked on me, I'm actually very grateful. If it is not complete rubbish I actually love stories that I engulf with emotions not with brain. It inspires me more.
And so, in retrospect, going to watch Time of Fever is more worth it than going to watch Unintentional Love Story for this specific reason. And it is very hard for me to say it and say it like this, because there, underneath, the ULS is stimulating and affecting my other sides, important ones, and in those areas, that story is very much important on its own and has deep effects, but I repeatedly went watched Time of Fever for the story, I didn't not go watch again the Unintentional Love Story for the Unintentional Love Story’s story. Even if it was a good story. It did not affect me that much at that raw places.
i'm usually not the biggest fan of short dramas since they're, well, short and most of the time the acting doesn't…
I have seen edit of it and I really liked it and then I have heard some people talking about it and I decided that I want to see it. I haven't been as far as you, I am into several seconds of it but I already like the setting the historical costumes and the premise of the story and the way the probably (?) main female lead's acting? so I will give it a go!
I heared that koreans are now blaming bl for decline in birth rate , specifically what bl they were talking about…
u mean that idiotic twitter spam? XD i commented on it today; anyways - if korean, then The Time of Fever (2024), you will probably want to watch after that Unintentional Love Story (2023) too and A Breeze of Love (2023). Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo is good too, but not deep enough for me where i needed it.
So you basically know nothing about omegaverse .even huge ABO fans and pages on different platforms who don't…
I guess she just foun her OTP in for of the actors, she is very obviously delusional about qualities of acting of these two here. (Not saying they are bad. All of what i have seen in BL shows they undergo high quality training beforehand. But...)

To put it into context, it is told in times where you don't expect them anymore to be willing to show anything explicit on screen, where they avoided it at all costs, where you are given all the time dead fish kisses, where they pretend as there is no emotional life in the characters, in males, where the reputation of idols ast them being strictly straight obviously and publicly is more important than the outcome of project they agreed to a participate on, where being gay is something that is widely accepted yet what is not acceped is it being portrayed in any way realistic onscreen, not to even mention to put there the bomb of it being emotional on screen.
