i wish ppl would give aoki a break about not openly dating ida. like i’m older and more experienced than aoki, and i still feel extremely nervous coming out to anyone. i had knot in my stomach coming out to an openly queer-friendly friend just the other day. so no aoki’s reactions aren’t strange, especially after his experience with that pos teacher assistant.
I have a question, would people still be offended by this show if kiyoi would be smaller looking? Because when…
i don’t really care about ppl sharing their opinions or whatever but i do think it’s weird that no one batted an eye when jinwon punched sangha in the face in mr heart but we’re all freaking out over a small kick lmao. like obviously this show isn’t the pinnacle of healthy relationships but we have seen worse imo. there’s no homophobic tropes or romanticized sexual assault so far so i think it’s doing ok?
i do think we may be coming to the point where ppl’ feel like they can only consume “healthy” and completely unproblematic media and i think that’s an unrealistic (and boring) expectation tbh
There was so much potential with this BL, but it needs some serious work. So many scenes that should have been shortened or left out completely. The plot was confusing sometimes too.
unlike most people i would be happy without seeing a kiss from them tbh. it wouldnt hurt but i dont think its…
a kiss would be more like a cherry on top. it’s a really good drama— kiss or not. also given how innocent/naïve the characters are (ex. freaking out over hand holding lol!), no kiss wouldn’t seem that weird.
side note: viki rated the drama as PG-13 and since they have a nasty habit of rating the most chill BLs as R if there are kissing scenes, i feel like it’s likely we won’t have one.
i think you calling hira a freak is weird he obviously has social anxiety and cant tell social cues sometimes…
dude maybe stop projecting so hard on a make-believe character that you take offence to a random stranger on the internet expressing the way said character occasionally makes them feel? hira's not a real person. you can relax, and i can say whatever i want about the show or its characters in a space that's literal purpose is to express personal reactions and thoughts.
the whole thing was problematic af, but if you skip the brothers' (*gag*) scenes, it's not as bad. it's still problematic though: the girls are kinda creepy and the gay4u trope is bleh, but charles and anson's chemistry really carries through and charles is like ridiculously handsome so that helped get me through it.
very honestly ,, i dont see how hira is freaky ,, i think hes socially inept (not sure if thats the right term)…
it’s not his social ‘ineptitude’ that gets me. it’s that he’s obsessive and that behaviour esp in a real life scenario where we aren’t privy to all his thoughts or motivations could come across as a red flag?? i’m not sure how to explain it.
hira freaks me out sometimes ngl. still one of the most interesting dramas i’ve watched in a while tho. it almost feels like one of those psychological/thriller romances lol
