Dont pay attention to her, she is just hater. Always hate popular dramas for no reason.

Why dont you go and spread hate somewhere else, Miss LeeYunnes? The way i see it, your constant hate towards every tvN weekend drama is astonishing. Just go and get a life.

Whether its QOT, LND or any other popular tvN weekend drama, you always have to spread negativity from both your MDL and X accounts.

Why not just hype up your favorites instead?

The main issue with this show is its WORLD BUILDING. The world building here is so poor that logic and laws are applied inconsistently, according to the writers convenience.
This director's previous work, a movie called Brave Citizen also has same issue. It had a fantastic concept but the world building was shallow. It was amusing to see even the principal fearing the bully just because he was rich.

This show has a concept similar to The Devil Judge. However, in TDJ, the world building was excellent. The type of court and situations presented wouldnt be possible in real life South Korea, so the writer created a dystopian version of Korea with its own set of rules and laws, which remained consistent throughout. In contrast, this show is a fantasy crime legal drama but is set in the real world. The laws and logic of the real world still apply but they are used at the writer's convenience. For example, the rulings given by Kang Bitna are laughable, they don’t make sense. Additionally, why doesn’t she just go to prison to punish murderers? She could allow criminals to face justice through the law and then pursue them for her mission afterward. She could also easily target murderers already convicted and in prison. This inconsistency makes it feel like the writer is making up rules as they go.
In The Devil Judge the conflict between Jinyoung’s character and Kang Yohan felt more believable. Both were human, had different perspectives and acted according to their roles. However, here, whatever Han Daon does comes across as completely foolish. He knows FL is a demon yet still wants to catch her. How can human laws apply to a demon? It’s basic logic, he should at least understand that.

This is what haters said when they have to defend their hatred.

Gurl, the og user hasnt even mentioned anything about Seokryu's glow up just two years after stomach cancer. You are just bringing up points for the sake of spreading hate. I have been seeing your posts for a while now, and you're only commenting to whine and spread negativity. Get a life, man.

When you are determined to hate a drama, no matter what they do, you will always end up complaining even when there is nothing to complain about.

Just drop it instead.

He is furniture in the show at this point. I think making him illegitimate chabeol heir really ruined his character for me.

I have no problem with SMA's character but i 100% agree on love story part feels very forced. I mean when & how he fell in love with her?? We dont evn have one scene where he started falling in love with her. It felt so sudden, its like now we have only 4 eps remaining so anyhow make them together.

He is only bearable where requires minimal to no acting.

Im absolutely loving this series but KYD's character feels one dimensional. There is no chemistry between him and SMA and neither his character nor his acting are engaging. For me, SMA and the second leads are the ones carrying the show.

Subgenre whuch caters to fulfill fantasies of hatero women right?? But this one no where nears do that, it deals with more dark and real topics of gay relationship thats why calling it BL is disrespctful and ppl like you are ignorant. So keep it that way.

Certainly shows how unhappy life you are living with kind of words you use for others when you have nothing to do with them.

Once again, you have demonstrated your ignorance by assuming my identity, nationality, and age. It’s laughable. Im a 29 year old Singaporean, a proud gay guy from the LGBTQ+ community and i know and relate to LGBTQ+/BL dramas far more than you ever could. I understand what can be hurtful or disrespectful to my community. People like you, who only fantasize about two men together, will never comprehend the struggles we face every day. You also wont understand how referring to certain LGBT genre shows as BL can be hurtful to us.

Please dont be so ignorant about others identities when you have never met them in person or do not know them personally.

Back to back 5 replies of constant nonsense?Who hurt you so badly? Why are you so upset with your life that you are resorting to calling others assholes when you dont even know them? Clearly, you have nothing substantial to defend, so you are relying on cheap tactics. Go ahead and burn, who cares about cheapos like you?

Why do we refer to Japanese and Chinese dramas as Jdramas and Cdramas, but not simply group them all as Kdramas? Dont they often explore similar genres and themes? To many people outside of East Asia, East Asians may look similar, so why not just call them Kdamas? The reason is that these are distinct Chinese and Japanese productions and labeling them all as Kdramas would be disrespectful to their individual identities.

Likewise, just because a series is adapted from a manga doesnt mean it should be classified as BL. It contain themes that align more with the broader LGBT genre, and labeling it as BL would overlook that distinction. LGBT and BL are similar to K/C/J dramas in that they are distinct categories and mislabeling them reflects ignorance and disrespect.

So, its okay when you call this as my own stigma without even knowing me? How is that any different from me calling you ignorant?
Grow up. Instead of backing up your argument with facts, you are resorting to tricks.

And yes, your inability to grasp the difference betn 2 genres only confirms why i called you ignorant. So, stay that way.

This isnt a desperate attempt by western audiences. First of all, im asian. Secondly, LGBT is a well established original term, while terms like BL/Yaoi and GL/Yuri were created by asians, especially in japan, to cater to a specific audience, mainly heterosexual women, by fulfilling certain fantasies with limited themes. If a show fits those specific themes and caters to that audience, it makes sense to call it BL. However, if the show belongs in the LGBT genre, labeling it as BL is disrespectful to both the genre and the community. Just because its adapted from a manga doesn’t mean it must be categorized as BL. Please learn the difference before assigning labels.

If you understand the distinction between the two genres, how BL originated, who it primarily targets and the themes it typically explores, you would realize that calling an LGBT show a BL drama undermines its significance. This isnt my own stigma, but a reality that ignorant people like you fail to understand.

The drama is outstanding, truly a masterpiece, but i have a question out of curiosity: do we really need to diminish its depth by labeling it as a bl drama? Honestly, it feels more like an queer/LGBTQ+ series, as it portrays the realities of gay relationships and their struggles. It doesnt quite fit the typical bl mold. Beyond exploring gay relationships, it also delves into darker themes like pedophilia, sex trafficking, prostitution, S&M and the harsh truths of the adult industry.

Thank you! You elevated my comment with your more detailed explanation. I really appreciate it.
