There are parts of this that I agree with and disagree with. I agree that an actor should only do scenes like…
As far as I know in S.Korea police would actually stop u if u went out shirtless (if u were a man or woman) and in past the TV broadcast forbid idols from showing their abs on camera and they had these bras/nipple patches.
I am just replying to u about the last sentence u made, but I completely agree with your comment :)
I disagree. Those scenes can be sexy, but would they show a shirtless man with no abs or good physique? I highly doubt that. The way I see it, they wanna show off the good physique the actors have. And comparing male and female bodies, is just wrong. Because u did include the sentence ''what if it was a female taking her top off'' and I know there are a lot of discussions about female breastfeeding for example, but that is a totally different scenario. I think that sentence was the most problematic and not the abs themselves. You also said that those scenes are unnecessary and I had to laugh out loud, because of course drama has FILLER scenes which do not move the plot forward.
I am back! Missed me? No? Cool. Anyway, I am back to comment on my progress with this drama and lemme say that I quite enjoy some development in our main couple, but the negative things overshadow the good stuff. Not only I do not like the show from technical point of view, but also scriptwise, because it is very childish even at situations where the script needs to be serious and literally as if adults were speaking in daily life. The sponsorship is so forced and it's literally a slap to the viewers face, because it is way too obvious. They aren't even trying to hide it, they directly start to tell you how to get a code for some dumb game and overall the side characters are there ONLY for doing the ads. If the sponsorships would be subtle, then I would have no problem with it, but having scenes dedicated just for ads is simply absurd, because they are using their precious time on a useless filler scene.
The director said that this season will not be a comedy, but a serious drama, but I guess he didn't go over the script properly, because this is anything but serious. The script has major problems and I am shocked because when u - sorry but - compare TharnType and LBC2, TharnType's script is much better, and yes, it has flaws and u can argue about certain scenes, but u cannot fight much about the quality of it and richness. Type and Tharn sounded like adults should and the dialogues made sense, but this is a mess. The reason I brought up TT is only because Mame has written scripts for both. I definitely think that she was in a rush to complete LBC2 script because her focus was more with TT2. I think she should have focused only on one project, because obviously she has problem doing two at the same time and it will show on the quality of the content, which it did with LBC2.
I do.... I just need my milk every day :D Like, I am the only consumer of it in our household (not counting the usage of it in cooking). I just love it and I need it in my coffee, or with cereal, or before bed or just anywhere.
I'm not sure about the Thai-ish part, but I think I can guess why you feel that.MH is definitely a fluffy feel…
@soapopera U are wrong, sadly.
This show is very obviously Korean and has a LOT of culture aspects. If u put this and Thai school drama beside each other, u can distinguish them right away and even Chinese ones.
For example, uniforms, school buildings, even lockers, the celebration party and maaaany other things.
So, for those like me who know about the culture a lot and even went to the said country, this is far from Thai BL looking dramas or even Chinese.
The maker of this anthology series even highlighted one part in an interview and she said that they are NOT copying style of other countries that produce BL, but they show how Korean people - men - fall in love. Because simply Korea has different culture, so why use different culture for a different country. It would be very laughable if suddenly the uniforms changed to blue shorts and blouse like the ones that boys in Thailand wear.
People in the comments didn't experience symptoms of insomnia or the feeling of extreme fatigue based on the trillion comments asking how did character A end up in character B's bed....like I all invite u to my next night shift on an ICU ward and believe me, once the shift is over u will fall asleep even on a pavement thinking it's your bed.
Yes, I think he was supposed to be so sleepy he didn't realize, but c'mon... I don't think I've ever been so sleepy…
Try one night shift on an ICU ward where u have to admit 3 patients at 2 in the morning. At the end I thought I would just pass out right on the patient's bed and I would give a flying F :D Also, important factor is the passcode. I mean what are the odds that your 9 digit passcode is shared by someone else? Close to 0%, right?
Excuse me, but on what basis are you comparing the two countries for their BL drama production?? As far as my…
That person has every right to compare the production since the production teams themselves compare each other. If we ONLY talk about production qualities such as > audio, camera, lighting, etc. etc. than S. Korea is top notch and I am talking about holistic point of view, which means outside of BL too.
Thailand, China, Taiwan and other Asian countries always mention S. Korea as their role model in terms of production quality, so comparing some production to S. Korea dramas is I think a good and healthy norm. A better example would be rookies looking at the experienced singers and taking them as role models. That's exactly what is happening.
First of all, if we want to be EXACT, Thailand was not the one that kicked off the LGBT genre - it was Japan with their series ''Takumi-kun''. After that Thailand started producing their own series.
I agree that Korea will take long to adapt to LGBT community, but they have done such a HUGE step, because they started showing LGBT community on a national TV stations - one as a second male lead and others as supporting, which is huge.
U were curious if that person saw dramas outside of the trending one, and I looked at the list someone posted up about which dramas do NOT contain engineering stuff, and I can still say that even tho those dramas have beautiful ideas and some beautiful acting and scenes, it is still not good enough.
I think - personal opinion - that Thailand BL is only popular because the country produces tons of BLs and nowadays they do the ''quantity over quality'' thingy. IF Korea will produce BLs as Thailand (in terms of quantity), it will overshadow Thailand and it is very justified why.
I believe there are some beef here, but I hope it's not romantically
I doubt it is romanceeeee, I saw it more like a brother look? My guess is that Guk will help Jin Won with his father situation since Guk has experienced just how evil rich ppl can be from his own life.

Like, the sentence ''Why am I walking so slow'' is very relatable, 'cause I say it everytime when I am dreaming.
