Lee Jun Ho

I think this version is less similar to the novel as opposed as the version with Mike, which was pretty similar

You're so right that it hurts. I like to delude myself that in the next 10 to 20 years, the world would be more LGBTQ+ friendly but with the current trajectory, we just might go 50 years backwards

Homophobia is "alive" and well in the Western countries that legalized gay marriage. Most Westerners pee in their diapers every time a fictional character is gay. They cancelled Disney in response to the company’s efforts to add more gay characters. They passed a "Don't Say Gay" bill to ban discussions of sexuality for all students. They sided with bakers who don't design custom wedding cakes for gay couples, etc

Abortion rights are under attack and it's a matter of time before gay marriage rights are

Where there is people, there is homophobia. I would say Korea is homophobic, but they are doing way better than the West

Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Japan are making history. They are the reason gay media picked up and blossomed. With more Korean idols making appearances in BLs, Asia will grow from a regional to a global BL powerhouse that isn't afraid to represent the gay community

Yes, Mike and Gawin's characters seem a little different. I think in the previous trailer, it seemed Pisaeng was even in love with Kawi for a long time, and he is more flirtatious. And they had one night stand 🤣🤣
But in the new trailer, it looks like Pisaeng falls for Kawi because, he tries to change the past which brings unwanted outcome 🤣🤣.

No more "idols" in BLs please. There is not only the individual performer's career-worry to prevent him from sticking his tongue down another guy's throat with full commitment, but the huge entertainment conglomerate who owns him and controls his every move to worry about. They're not about to throw away the big bucks they've invested in training and developing Zuho, by risking it all letting him give a no-holds-barred portrayal of a gay man in homophobic Korea.

"Semantic Error" has been the one exception that proves this rule.

All that mess aside, I've no doubt there are many, far-more talented actors around to play these roles who would do anything to get their name out there, including turning in an outstanding, committed portrayal of a gay BL lead character. Let Zuho and the like sing and dance. Let serious actors act.

It would also be helpful if the BL audience would stop accepting lowest common denominator-level quality from their BLs.

Dashing handsome Lee Dong Wook

i recently came to like him through his rap performance in Peak time.... i didn't knew he acts as well

that's true

I am very appreciated your detailed information. Now, I got the big picture. I think their love story can become a good K-drama :) As a K-drama fan, I've seen many romance dramas about true love that a male lead needs to overcome the obstacles e.g. from his family or his fans in order to get married to the female lead. Exactly this!!! After watching those romances, I thought we audiences had learned a thing or two about love, but it seems I am wrong. As long as Lee Da In is a good person and didn't get involve with her step-father's business, I see nothing's wrong with her. Lee Seung Gi should be able to marry anyone he loves, in my opinion.

You actually touched upon an interesting point. Got me thinking - If this was a plot of a K drama, I bet all those disapproving fans would be rooting for the couple. Isn't that ironic? :))

Thanks for the info because I did not get why the fans were disapproving.

Thanks for providing context

thank you for your review (history obsessed) we have the same rating LOL xD

Se Hyung says in the first minutes of E1 that "We should do well so that he (Seung Gi) can return well." It looks like the problem is between his ongoing issues with his agency and a new movie - https://www.soompi.com/article/1556390wpp/master-in-the-house-comments-on-possibility-of-lee-seung-gis-return-for-season-2.

I did watch the 1st two episodes and they were funny. I am cautiously waiting for him to return to Season 2 as he and Se Hyung are the main reason why I kept watching after Sung Jae and Sang Yoon left 😥 and when show lagged from time to time in later episodes. I miss those first shows when the four of them were getting to know each other.

I really feel bad for Seung Gi as he has to be going through some things right now with that agency. 😢 I truly hope he comes back as it really is not the same without him.

Amazing actor, haven't seen a role of his where he missed.
