Just watched the teaser and boy does this look good. Also, Kim Jae-wook cannot pick a bad script even if he tried so I'm putting all my trust in him.

Loving the first episode. It's hard to believe Jiyeon and Jaewook have eight years between them. They bicker like agemates.

Hospital Playlist is in my top two favourite k-dramas (and its not number 2) so I was looking forward to another drama set in the same universe. Of course I had to tamper my expectations because different PD/writer/cast. Episode 1 didn't quite hook me but episode 2 was much better. Getting to know the characters and they're all such sweethearts. One thing I hope they borrow from HP is the absence of a villain character. It's one of the things that made it such a heartwarming series.

What made HP bad? Just open mouth choo choo choo without factual or solid arguments. That you dislike something doesn't make it bad.

Thank you.

Ah. You think we're on opposite sides. Me on the het couple side, you on the gay couple side. That I'm okay with a het couple taking up space in what should be a 100% gay drama. Lol. That's where you're wrong. I choose to put my upset at not getting my expectation based on the manhwa met and enjoy this drama for what it is.

I'm enjoying the drama and you're obviously not. I understand your frustration and empathise but what you shouldn't do is misread my response make assumptions from my comment.

Now where did I say the het couple was integral?

You know what? I don't find your comment offensive at all because I agree with you to a large extent. I said in a comment yesterday that the time spent on the het couple feels like a lot because their story is progressing speedily without fluff. The MC even with more time don't get that "depth" because Heesu is still stuck on his unrequited feelings. Right now he doesn't even realise Seungwon is a romantic option for him. And that's where me hoping they don't fuck it up comes from because I'm expecting to see the emotional depth and growth you mentioned in the coming eps.

As to the rest of your comment about erasure and representation, I decided to separate my feelings of annoyance around that and focus on the story in front of me else I wouldn't watch it. There are plenty of negative comments already. Do I agree with some? Yes. Do I have to rehash them in every comment I make? No.

I appreciate your articulating your thoughts. Engaging on MDL can be like the hunger games sometimes.

The straight couple has between 4 and 5 minutes every episode. I checked. How much screen time would be fair to you? 1 minute? 2?

The premise of the drama hinges on Heesu's unrequited feelings. He's not going to meet Seungwon one episode and get over Chan the next. We have seen them go from just classmates to friends to Heesu realising he's not thought about Chan all day. This development equals stagnancy to you? The second Heesu realises he's over Chan and likes Seugwon, there's no more story.

What's even more important is to me is why you're still watching if you feel like the drama is fucked up? I'm super curious. Is there anything about the drama you like? If there isn't why not drop it?

WTF are you on about? Bruh go look for something that gives you joy. Life is too short.

Loving this show a lot. Seung-won is so lovable and cares so much for Hee-su without being a pushover. I also love how he is such a calming on Hee-su. He says all the right things. Atp I think my boy is blind because how does he not see it? There are certain aspects of Hee-su's development I'd have wanted to see but I guess the writer decided on using the revelation of Chan's relationship to achieve the same thing.

Ji-yu is such a wise supportive friend. Chan-young in the manhwa wasn't very likeable either so nothing changes much.

In all, the adaptation does well as a stand-alone creation so far. Let's hope they don't fuck it up.

It probably seems like a lot because there isn't a lot of fluff in their story. Still the hysterics over their onscreen time is kinda funny.

PSA: Het couple took up a grand total of *drum beats* 4 minutes and 50 seconds this ep (this includes their texting). I'm actually impressed at how their story has developed with so little time. Doing this for all the "straight couple are taking all the time" folks.

Seung-won is so whipped of Hee-su. Those puppy eyes every time he looks at him are so cute. And Ji-yu being the best wing-woman. Can't wait for Hee-su to actually figure out what's going on. Glad they kept the two mums.

I hope this drama gets the attention it deserves. I love how consistent the pacing is. No gimmicks with slow motion or emo music and the emotions in every moment is still perfectly captured - all the intimate glances and touches from one angle. And the showing is on point. The dialogue is minimal but you get it. The cinematography is beautiful. Definitely worth a rewatch.

Judging this almost 100% on the happiness it brought me. Which was a lot.

Because he knows his audience and how likely the drama is to get judged harshly based on what's (coincidentally) happening in South Korea. Might be funny to you because years of your work isn't in danger of misjudged.

Akin's inner monologue at the start of ep 5 is *chef's kiss*. It's something I find that Thai BLs rarely get right. The timing, the delivery, 10/10. It's like a perfectly fitting puzzle piece.

One thing I'm grateful for is that I haven't seen anyone comparing every second of this series to the manga and complain about the differences. Maybe because it's being adapted in a different country than the source material or few people have read the manga. Whatever it is, I'm happy it's being mostly judged on its own merit. And so far, its kicking ass. The actors can act and they have more than just sex scene chemistry. Plus chemistry with the support characters. The pacing is consistent and I don't have to make massive leaps of logic to justify anything. It's worth every second of watch time.

watching this for Kian's laughter. He's having to much fun. I'm glad they built everything according to his imagination.

I just started Death's Game Part 2 and it's gritty and violent and bloody and all his character is swinging a metal bat at someone's head and all I can think is "what a beautiful beautiful man". Every move is graceful. No matter what he's playing, there's this thing that is 100% Jae-wook that he can't turn off. I have loved him in everything, even when he's a side character.

Do any of these women doing terrible shit get their just due? From the spoilt brat of a sister to the horrible fiancé?
