lovely

the point is that having unrealistic lgbt dramas is a disservice to lgbt people. the bl industry is really messed up to so that needs to come too light. no one ever said this has to be a life lesson or that this won't be entertaining. but having a bl drama where the characters are homophobic, condone sexual assault, suddenly "turn gay" for one person and one person only, etc...it's just disgusting that lgbt people are represented like this when we're already oppressed every day. since some people romanticize these concepts, we need more realistic dramas that don't do things like perpetuate rape culture and use assault as a plot device to get the male leads together. we need better representation for the lgbt community. sorry that doesn't entertain you.

ngl i wasn't a fan of insoo's acting in wish you. im hoping he improved for this one? given that he's acting alongside sejin and euisoo who are very talented actors. this drama seems to be very high budget for a korean lgbt drama as well, and if his acting is subpar compared to the other two, that would really be a pity...anyway, wishing the best for him and this drama!

exactly. they're really trying their best in such a conservative country, so dropping shows just like that doesn't really make the situation better. in fact, they need all the support they can get so they can make episodes longer in the future! even ones other than wyel and to my star can be really fun to watch—you just can't go in expecting mainstream-kdrama-level character development and production. there just aren't enough funds and the runtime is too short.

just using “gay people” works! and apology accepted, don’t worry about it!!

not sure, but honestly i wouldn’t care what the pairing is as long as the show is good and they portray their characters well. maybe they just thought yoon was more suited to that particular role than perth. who knows? i’m sure their reason was well-founded though.

here are the tags: Slap Kiss, Possessive ML, Arranged Marriage, Kidnapping, Revenge, Abusive ML, Rape
i would urge those with these triggers not to watch this. how the hell are there that many terrible things in one drama???

"He tells Bow's father that he has slept with his daughter, which makes the older man marry Bow off to Tos in order to protect his daughter's virtue." wtf????? definitely not watching this drama...

i agree! i think a lot of people that are complaining about his acting don't quite know what gay people go through and what aoey is going through—he's a really complex character so it might be difficult to see it through the screen. the actor is definitely getting better and better as the show goes on!
also, for future reference, don't refer to gay people as "gays" because it's kind of offensive. and I don't mean this in a rude way at all! it's just that i'm gay and people use it a lot to dehumanize us, so i just wanted to let you know :)

and to make it even worse, it's ex by death :(( im ready to cry my eyeballs out for their episode + the wednesday and thursday ones

yeah i dont think there was a single female character in any of the trailers except for the ones in the background LOL i feel like they don't realize that you can show a healthy romance between men with female characters present TT

WKX actually looks so beautiful with white hair TT he looked so heavenly in episode 37 (the special ep) when he was looking at ZZS i highkey felt like i was intruding on their moment it was PURE AND SWEET

subs are out on their youtube channel now! enjoy :D

of course :)

i agree! i bet they'll explain everything in the next 3 eps

subs are out on their youtube channel!!

TL;DR people aren't exaggerating, they're physically affectionate ^^

i'd say they show their affection through many many references to ancient poems (WKX always flirts with these lines and it's really clever and sweet), physical touch, tone of voice, and just generally how they act around each other. they're definitely not super physically clingy since that's just not how they are lol and this isn't a modern setting drama but they'll support each other during vulnerable times (ex. hold hands, carry each other, hug, etc). it's really heartwarming.

the point is that ZCL is very familiar with how scheming and manipulative the sects are. he should know better than to believe everything they say, especially when they're as big as "WKX killing his family." WKX didn't, but ZCL still believed it. this isn't a different side of the story, it's just a lie. even when ZZS, his master whom he admired greatly, stood by WKX side and asked ZCL to trust him, he still tried to kill WKX. it's not as simple as WKX not being honest. it has to do with how ZCL fell right into ZJ's trap.

i totally get what you mean by the novel divergence, but i don't see ZZS as a weak character even after WKX saved him after he was (basically) captured by the king. he couldn't have escaped on his own. the whole situation was really troubling for him because so many of his brothers died and he was ready to just die there, so he wouldn't have tried to escape anyway. although he's gaining more and more of his martial arts back after he nears his death, he's still a strong yet calm warrior that many fear. ZZS wasn't fragile at all in this series. he's saved WKX and JCL many times and has never been afraid to face his demons even when everything is against him. it's normal for even the bravest to be vulnerable at times, but this can't be mistaken for fragility. at the same time, i have to say i think WKX had more of these emotional, lose-control type of moments that ZZS helped him out of. not a damsel in distress as i see it :)

thank god!! i don't know if i would be able to survive another drama butchered by them TT
