We were always here, we're just more comfortable expressing it now.
People can't "become" gay. They either are or they aren't. I was always gay, but never came out as such until I felt safe. It's the same for many others. Just because someone comes out as gay doesn't mean they were straight before doing so. That's not how human sexuality works.
I haven't been this much of a mess after a BL ending since I Told Sunset About You. I keep coming back to thinking about it! It made me both happy and lonely in the same way.
Sure, but just as a tip, you should probably try to keep in mind that BL is also pretty popular with actual gay men (especially these days), and so many of us can't help but roll our eyes a bit when we see comments like these. I understand that BL is mainly written for straight women, but there definitely has been tension in the past between fujioshi types and LGBT fans who find the former being too fetishistic about gay love. It's ok to have fantasies, but it's also important to recognize that gay people are real and our lives (and sex lives) tend to be a little bit more complex than just tops and bottoms.
Regardless, they both give me vers vibes, lol. That scene where they crossed the street especially.
Anyone know what the response has been like so far in Korea? I haven't seen this much attention for a kbl since Semantic Error, and so I'm just wondering.
My old crush on Taevin (Myungha) from his idol days has resurfaced thanks to this show, lol. I miss Myteen.
I remember talking on a kwave forum years ago before the Korean BL boom with other gay kpop fans, and we predicted that idols would avoid BL roles like the plague. Man, were we wrong! They've been total trailblazers for the genre, even if they aren't always the most well known idols.
The first 3 episodes seemed kind of sloppy but with good potential, and then eps 4 to 8 were all pretty good, honestly. It's definitely one of those shows that takes a while to hit its stride but still finishes pretty strong. That sloppy start is a serious strike against it, however. Although he gets better as it goes, on, I still feel the lead actor was slightly miscast. He overacted more than the others and tended to break my immersion the most. Still a good show overall. The side couple was done well and the main couple was still really cute, especially Kim Ji Oh. He played the lovesick puppy really well in the latter half, lol.
Did the original also had the gay plot ? I saw a comment say it was because of netflix drama, but the way the…
What about in this version? I don't know the plot so I'm confused, did the female lead's boyfriend die then go back in time as a gay guy and then die again?
