No need to sh*t on Thai BL when praising Korean BL. Thai BL has a lot of flaws, still my favorite couples are…
You said: "It's funny how on 10 minutes this korean BL are able to convey so much more story and emotions than the 40 minutes regular thai bl"
I feel like Koran BL doesn't manage to show enough emotions. I LOVE Korean Drama and I'm well aware of their quality in production and storytelling. Thai BL on the other hand is based on badly written smutty fanfictions. Objectively speaking Korea is doing a better job, how we all hoped for and expected knowing the good quality and storytelling of their series. Still their BLs feel "meh" for me. I like their Gay movies much better where they really show intense stories. This lighthearted series aren't doing it for me, and feel rather blunt like many cute Korean teen rom-com series which honestly I'm not a fan of either.
God knows how much I hate the defenseless cute lil uke stereotype in BLs and I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY this isn't…
No need to sh*t on Thai BL when praising Korean BL. Thai BL has a lot of flaws, still my favorite couples are Thai BL couples. Korea is doing a good job with their BLs, but the spark is missing.
I hated it at first, now I love it. Most people are still in the "hating"-phase
I'm not that mad about the reboot, the relationship in s1 was ... well, a bit toxic. They do it slightly better in the reboot. But it will take them at least 2 more episodes to get where they ended s1 so half the series is over. I also wanted a sequel. We'll get only four or five episodes with the new storyline. And if they introduce now other characters the Tin&Can screentime will be even less. What's the point of a s2 then? Strange ... If they don't have enough material they should have ended it in s1. But apparently there is a novel? So what's the problem here?
I thought there would be more chemistry between MeanPlan this time around but it’s pretty clear Plan is still…
About Plan being uncomfortable: I really like the new season and watched some Mean/Plan stuff, fan meetings, fan made videos etc. over the weekend. They are both very different from their characters which I knew before, but Plan constantly looks like he doesn't want to be there. I guess because he is so cute, he could get away with it so long. There was drama about Mean, though. That he said acting in BL is unprofessional or something. Strangely Mean looks pretty excited and in general has a very easy-going personality. He doesn't look unhappy at all. I feel like Plan has some serious issues being called cute, baby, and being the bottom in general. This ship got so famous because of the great kisses (let's be honest), but that's because Mean is a good kisser who manages to look like he wants to devour Plan. I just thought it's strange that apparently Mean doesn't like his job, while he is doing great and looking happy, while Plan is just miserable and his acting in s2 isn't great.
i was wondering what the wyel abbreviation is for? this is the 2nd time i've seen this mentioned here
Most people compare this to WYEL because it was the first official "Korean BL series". And this is the second. In fact those series are only a movie cut into 10-minutes pieces. Korea is testing the waters and it's interesting to see how their BLs will turn out and if they will do more in the future.
Jin Woo lacks charisma and Sang Ha is a bit overwhelming. I'm not a fan of the marathon theme at all and I don't like stories where a guy is secretly in love with another guy for years. But well, this is just me. Objectively speaking the series is cute and well done. It also feels very fresh and it's not like WYEL at all. They tried to do something different and I enjoy the skinship. You don't get that in hetero Korean Drama. I overall like the direction Korean BL is heading.
I'll probably get slammed for this, but I must be one of the few that doesn't miss Pete (nothing against Saint).…
Same here. I had to skip many scenes with Pete. He was tooo cringy ... and now Ae is so heartbroken. It's ridiculous. We don't even know what exactly happened.
This version is growing on me just a bit. As I loved first season a lot because of the tension and the hate to…
It's so strange that they are retelling the Tin/Can story as if season 1 never existed and ACTL would be a stand-alone series, and at the same time they expect us to know about Pete/Ae from season 1 to even understand why Ae is so miserable.
