Well said, thank you!

(unsolicited comment warning!) I would like to say I deeply dislike BL CPs fan service culture because of the toxic fans and this forum has proved to me many times why. I am a LGBTQ+ supporter since my early teens but unfortunately, I have found the most hateful crowds among BL shipping fans, expressed in their double standards and trying to force their ships in real life. BL actors are that actors, most of them are straight and they say so. Still, these people throw tantrums of all sorts: plots of previously written material have to be changed to please the fans, actors are forced to sign contracts of non-disclosure of hetero relationships, among others. If any of them is discovered having a hetero romance the cancelling crowds start with their shameless hate campaigns. We are here because we like the BL/Yaoi genre and most of us enjoy seeing e.g. K Pop boys flirting among themselves (often a showbiz trick encouraged by companies). I enjoy V and JK interaction (BTS), Woo and San (Ateez), etc I love a super Chinese bromance fell in love with the characters, with the actors, enjoy their BL fan art (many created by amazing professional artists around the world) but I am loyal to them by supporting their individual efforts. Shipping is alright as long as we separate fictional stories from real life and above all, respecting the actors personal space and choices in life. 🙏

This was so refreshing to see from an hetero-Japanese production: a strong woman, with strong opinions, lots of physical force, and not quirky sexual habits!!! yes!!! I like the series. I watched it because Fumi Nikaido (FL) in between the release of the episodes of Eye love you. In this series the female actors were the winners, really good performances I was not very keen in the male actors except for the bartender. The only aspect I did not like was the brush under the carpet the fact that second ML, the boss at the inn, was in an intimate relationship with the geisha, taking advantage of her feelings for him, and he knew that she was scheming causing the divorce of the FL and he did say anything. The series of course only condemned the geisha and exonerated him from his behaviour. Japanese patriarchal values had to appear somewhere!

Well said!!!

Well said, thank you for sharing your thoughts

For all those saying that this gang of bullies did not intend to cause harm/commit murder/kill anybody, are we watching the same series? They handed Non over to the gangsters who tortured and murdered people for less than what allegedly Non did. they condemned their parents to despair with their lies, causing the broken heart of Non's mum and inducing his dad to commit suicide. In the real world and the law, people who cause other people suicide or severe mental suffering are offenders. This is fiction and revenge is the centre of the series, so why are you watching if you don't like the centre plot? So if you are going "to play"/mix with the real moral/legal standards of the real world with this piece of fiction, let's be decent, well informed, and consistent!

Are they not killers? are we watching the same series? They handed Non over the gangsters who tortured and murdered people for less than what allegedly Non did. they condemned their parents to despair with their lies, causing the broken heart of Non's mum and inducing his dad to commit suicide.

Here you are all the defenders of Jin, you should be ashamed, of the way you fought the rest of us who were right to think Jin was not better than the other bullies, he did record the video and he did post it!!! It was so clear but yet, lots of you were claiming the contrary with teeth and claws. Silly people. On another note, sound performance by Copper. I hope this boy rises quickly "on the ranks" and preferably leaves the BL world, he could well be doing what other ex-Bl actors like Win, Bright, etc are doing. I have stumbled on some clips on social media and he is playing this shipping game, but I wish for him to be free from that BL fan service culture because obsessed fans make it so toxic. I know BL CP actors get their money from the success of the ship but honestly, I could envisage him in a wide variety of genres.

You are most welcome 🙏

I was so glad about this BL but it has became flat very working environment series in the last two episodes. Almost not rewarding moments. The kiss by the end of Ep 5 was quite nice but still it did not burst into anything.

This is a delightful series that I am enjoying immensely. Thank you to the sub-makers that make it possible to catch up with this. It is going to be officially released in the international Netflix platform in March so we have just to wait a bit more. In some parts, they take the mick out of K Dramas and it is great, like the bed scene in ep 2 (just a dream), so funny (and sensual!). There are people here commenting on the childish FL behavior or how silly the series is. First of all, this is fiction!!! and it is meant to be a fluffy/kawaii series (don't watch if you don't like this kind of thing). Second, FL has created this little innovative company on the strength of her personality, she can be as childish as she wants but also in the real world CEO/Directors even in top organisations come in all forms and shapes. I don't want to give personal examples but just to say some of them can be very funny and/or informal with employees (lots are a bunch of nerds too). So if you don't have a wide labour market experience just keep a bit of an open mind. it would help! - On another note, I did not know Jong Hyeop but now I am def looking for his other works.

I have more trouble with the shipping culture who is affecting people opinion about the series. Ta/Copper shippers sometimes are out of order but I don't blame them. Copper is pushing that CP very strongly in social media and to be honest, he does not need to do that because Copper who is a lovely boy has all the potential to surpass all of them in terms of acting. I think with time Copper will be a very good actor

I know what you mean but this is created by Sammon, who is an award-winning writer, a medical doctor by profession. She did Triage. I don't have the best opinion of Be on Cloud CEO so I really making an effort to watch this because I think the story is quite decent.

Many thanks

This just link to the Twitter post, but what is the link to the video sub - Thank you

This series brings a couple of Thai actor that I like very much: Baifern is for me the best young female actor in Thailand and I also like Great very much, he was amazing in Cath me baby. Win performances have never won me over, let's see how he does here. I found the 2 first eps very entertaining. Looking forward to the rest.

this is a very promising series with likable characters. Nice 2 CPs but the edition is a let down and ep 1 was confusing. I hope it does improve.

The unsolicited advice comment - -Check in reality - "poor me" attitudes won't be rewarded with a second chance and even less a handsome rich man. This is fiction! Stand up for yourself and even if life circumstances are challenging, create spaces in your life in which you feel proud and grateful for being alive. This life is not a rehearsal! 🙏

So liked the drama but 2 no so positive comments: What on earth were people wearing in the main CP wedding??? they look like they just came from the office to have some drinks in a pub!?
The plastic surgery of Yura/BoA: girl go a suit your plastic surgeon for leaving you looking much older and with a face like a cardboard.😣

(an unpopular opinion that proved before being very popular!)For me the best character in this drama was my girl SooMin, she keeps her "charm" even in prison!- I resent though she has nightmares or remorse about MinHwan - that snake. It is so not her character! Having said that, she had tremendous chemistry with MinHwan (so they were my favourite CP!) but on a very side note, the actors Ha Yoon/YiKyung do not look like they enjoy working together. there is hardly any bts of them and when there is they are very cold toward each other. This also comes to prove that acting is like any other profession, you don't have to like your colleagues, just to get along to have the work done and how great actors they are that they manage to create that "magic" for the fictional characters purely on the strength of their acting skills. Bravo!
