It's a bl. A very famous bl. Who rec'd it without knowing?
You do you, boo. BL iw a genre just like romance or wuxia. My sister doesn't do wuxia or bls either, no matter how famous, that's why I was confused. I dont understand why people dont be transparent about stuff when recommending to people.
they normally over edit the promotional stills. he's always had that eye shape, but they sure did take away his…
I dont mean eye or eyebrows. I mean bone structure. His top half of face looks squarish here, but that could be the hairstyle. His face also looks flatter here (more pug, less dog), which could be cheek fillers. I also cant pinpoint what's wrong with his nose coz it looks pretty normal... But it looks like black mirror version of his old nose, someone made a very identical prosthetic idk, it just looks weird to me.
Idk if it's make-up, filters or plastic surgery but he just looks off in these pics
Bets on how long till badass Police Captain FL gets reduced to damsel in distress and the ML who doesn't have any police background becomes her saviour. Bonus points for love triangle.
Is it just me or he started looking disturbingly like Rowoon? I dont mean the overmade up face, I mean the whole face/bone structure. I can't exactly pinpoint but I think the top half of his face looks like Rowoon.
Edit: I checked his older pics and his face looks a lot normal in articles about Jisoo. But it looks more squarish/robotic here. I guess he got fillers or something.

Okay, while I had no intention of replying to this, I can't really help।myself. First, I dont really know your media background but as a reader AND a writer, there is thing called "eagle eye view" and "rabbit eye view". Eagle eye view, as u might be very well aware, is when u see the whole picture (which is how we see a movie or drama). But a rabbit eye view is when u only see one specific side of the story (like it happens in real life, u wont get the whole story until u talk to EVERYONE involved because each person has a different memory of the same event - u CANT be objective in real life).
Here, while, we, the audience knows the whole story (Yoonho's forbidden crush, and his friend who make or make like him back) as far Yoonho is concerned (Yoonho's rabbit eye) knows Jaewon is a straight man (because as closeted as he is, he never thought that his friend was anything less than normal).
It doesn't matter what the actual truth is. "Yoonho's truth" is that he is in unrequited love with a straight man. Which is also why he crossdressed as to confess just as Jaewon is leaving (because he doesn't have to deal with rejection in any way - as a woman or as a man).

I am VERY well aware of bury your gays trope. This aint it. The guy was a walking death flag right from scene 1 (he was already sick). "Bury your gays" trope is valid only if there is a sudden and unexpected death of gay character when u are least expecting it - like in MODC. Or in gay stories where they get sick and died AFTER the gay reveal.
Here, MC who was already sick and dying came to terms with his homosexuality and one-sided unrequited love for his straight friend.
U can be as annoyed as u want, idgaf but at least be annoyed for the right reasons
Say what you will about the movie, but Seol and Cho-hee unnie were the true MVP. It's so rare to find a good/strong female character in a bl, especially since she is a love rival as well.
Even if YH had survived, I know they wouldn't be able to be together because of the time. It's just sad that YH…
For me, it was better that he died without knowing because knowing that they both loved each other but can never be together or be together only in secret while hiding from their wives and families would be much worse. In a way, Jaewon protected Yoonho's heart by pretending to not know.
Sad ., but I didn't really find it as surprising or shocking as others. The guy was sick (it was a big thing about him, even before gay reveal). He is love with his best friend (but within restraints of that time era). There is a girl who loves him. She knows about his sexuality (she pretends to be ignorant and dismissive until a courtesan opens her eyes and after which she openly accepts him). She even helps him confess to his love (helping him crossdress and pretend to be a new courtesan who is in love with "young master Jaewon" because they don't want him to freak out and get disgusted with his gay friend. Jaewon himself is straight, and was arranged to be married (which he can't really avoid) and it revealed in the last few seconds that he also loved him.
In my opinion, the end was as happy as it could be given the era. Yoonho was able to come out and openly accept himself (and found great support from a very unexpected source) and while he died not knowing his love was requited, for me, knowing that it was requited but that they could never be together would have been worse. He died with peace and hopefully him and Jaewon can meet again in next life
