Im so glad iconic shows like Goblin, Reply 1988, Strong Girl Bong soon, Flower of Evil etc werent released 2023-24 because they would have faced the wrath of haters with fake IDs and review bombing.

MDL has become incredibly toxic nowadays. Instead of enjoying their own favorite shows, people just spread hate in the comment sections of other popular shows. These haters are so obsessed that they cant even enjoy their own favorites. Their only aim is to spread negativity.

Someone already mentioned (in below comments) that most directors are often harsh and strict, much like strict teachers. They may speak harshly, but their goal is to bring out the best in the actors and the show. They don't do it for personal satisfaction. Without this strictness, actors might not listen, and the director wouldn't be able to bring out their best. Only because he was harsh was he able to bring out every side of Sol so beautifully onscreen. He projected KHY in a way that we instantly fell in love with her. Furthermore, KHY is on good terms with him and even calls him appa. So why criticize him when KHY herself has no issue with his methods?

Knetz are themselves very obsessed with beauty standards, and now they are bashing him. It looks absolutely hypocritical of them. I mean, it's because of them that there are some toxic beauty standards set everywhere, but now they will make a villain out of him.

Thanks for understanding

I was also worried about that rapi*t guy's scenes but since he didn't even appear for more than 5 minutes in the whole 2 episodes, there wasn't much disturbance from him. I ignored his scenes and didn't even feel like I missed anything.

Additionally, let actual fans of the drama enjoy it and have discussions, which they currently cant do because of the toxic atmosphere in the comment section. This comment is for both drama fans and certain genre fans who are at war.

Oh, finally it's peaceful here. It seems like the war has stopped. Now I can actually talk about the drama. I really liked the first two episodes. I started watching it for Bong Jaehyun because I liked him in twinkmelon and I didn't have any particular interest in ML guy, but he's a solid actor. Jaehyun's role is also quite mysterious, which I enjoyed. The content was engaging, there wasn't any moment where I felt like I should fast forward. So, this is a solid 8.5 for me right now. I'm quite excited for the upcoming episodes.

Note: I was holding myself back from saying anything about the drama because I thought people might attack me for liking this show. I was worried they might label me as a homophobe or someone who supports a rapist. I've had enough drama in my real life, so I didn't want more drama here, which is why I've been quiet for the last two days. Honestly, from an outsider's perspective, certain genre fans seem quite negative. They aren't interested in the drama, they aren't fans of it, they want to boycott it, but they still harass others by calling them homophobes. This is just a suggestion: please don't do that because people like me try to avoid the comment section, and you create a very negative impression of that particular genre's fans. Again it's just a suggestion, so please don't attack me.

It's okay, I know not all BL fans are like that person, but from the many comments I read today, many from the same side seemed to be harassing some people by calling them homophobes. Yes, even a few people from the other side also attacked them, which was quite wrong, but as I can see, some BL fangirls started this phenomenon first. Some even exposed them, so I don't know whom to believe, but at least for now, those 4-5 BL fangirls seem more at fault.

Atleast none from other side came to me and said these BL fangirl bitches are harassing us. So i can clearly see who are more at fault.

Sorry to say but as many as comments i had read, BL fangirls seems more at fault. You yourself showed that by calling them bitches, when you could have politely said its just people are upset over removing BL genre etc.

Wtffff is wrong with this comment section?

They didnt live together but ML again forces MC to sleep with him by blackmailing. There is big angst coming up, lpt of things happen like there was one shaman guy who tells ML that MC is alive somewhere then thwy went to find MC's og missing body etc. But in the end they get reunited.

If you hsve read novel then u will realise, how UP is portraying character is not even 10% of how og ML was. I dont get any gong ML vibes from him. He looks quite weak.

Most of ppl who are liking his acting have been adjusted to thai dramas and their type of acting. Like if you read comments then you will realise, most of them are just fujoshis who ships M|M relationshio. Im not against bl, coz i myself enjoy BLs, but fujoshis are blind, they cant see if acting/plot is good or not, as long as visuals are serving they will hype anything and everything. Thats how thai bls works.

In novel, joe was very manly and ML was somewhat feminine imean in terms of looks but again he was protagonist of 188 series so he was well built with good physique plus the way i imagined him was totally diff, i guess from thai industry i can see Luke ishikawa in that particular role, coming to Joe, in novel he was very manly and rough, thats why he was body double artist, Joe actor looks somewhat okay in that part but he cant really act or emotes well.

Coming to UP, i have seen him in lovely writer, in that show he was bottom, he looked good (altho acting was questionable), but here he doesnt fit character descriptiom at all, and he doesnt evn give required gong ML vibes.

And coming to the sol and tong actors, they both are horrible nd totally misfit.

You are insensitive thats why u cant see the rudeness.

Imo 80% thai actors cant act, most of them only know how to act cringe with shia, shia.

I have watched Thai, Taiwanese, korean & japanese bl. Out of all thai ones are worst. Korean, Japanese, taiwanese actors act 100 times better than them without making you feel cringe.

Plus i know how these actors get casted based on their social media popularity, not on talent. Like gmmtv ceo himself said how no. Of views nd social media following matters to them most compared to anything, which itself tells alot about their industry.

You guys are also biased toward thai actors bcz u love watching their BLs, thats why u guys cant see how poor acting is, but again i cant complain coz u guys are used to this kind of acting nd most of thai actors cant act nd thats fact. They only get casted based on popularity, not on talent. Like their CEO's has themselves said for them views on social media nd social media following matters the most.

Will not put spoiler tag, considering how rude ppl are here.

You guys instsntly attacks ppl as soon as u see urs and theirs pov doesnt match, nd then tell them u are biased, like who are u to tell me im biased or not?? & Then when that person gives u befitting reply, then u will say, no need to get defensive. Like wth.

Its my opinion, just bcz its diff you will tell me im biased?? Like how did u know its biased or not?? And on what basis?? You can defend ur favs based on ur opinion but no need to tell me if im biased or not. No need to go personal, just talk abt drama only.

Well there is lot of drama but its happy ending for both of them.

ML's redemption arc is extremely entertaining in novel.
