i'm just gonna watch this drama for myself and see how it is because so far it looks promising .. and who cares…
You should take under consideration that it was a core issue in the novel - original body owner died because he was harassed for being gay. It's kind of like if in the Lord of the Ring the whole ring storyline was removed - people have right to be unhappy about it (and not watch it). Korea is not China, where government bans/censors BL. Do you know that it was removed because of main character's fans? This means that the project was BL (production company already made BL before this one), actors knew about it (including main character) + were fine with it and it was only changed because some people made a big stink about it. Doesn't that mean that people (who want BL) cannot do it as well? ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I am somewhat not satisfied with EP07, because it had given us no resolution of ending scene in EP06. I want to know how he reacted to "not forgetting" ๐ (let's hope by not falling to the lake ๐).
I would also like to get more ChainPun, as Pun is such a oddball ๐ - I love watching that kind of weirdos (one set of pajamas to the pub, please!). I must say I was surprised that he was the one who created the plan of action for Toey - he doesn't seem like the type (it seems to me more like something Tan would come up with). I hope that their love story won't be rushed or clichรฉ ๐ค
Out of Phum's friends, I am quite sure that comrade Mick is clueless and Beer knows what is what (most likely since that time they were talking about Phum's "friend" issue - not to mention when they entered Phum's apartment to play games). From Peem friends: Fai (the girl) definitely knows and Toey is such a shipper (and most likely knows) - the rest are dummies, so I doubt they noticed. I would also bet that Fang knows (most likely since the night at the bar - why else would he not go with Phum? Fang's little smile when he was asking if that's the guy was so telling ๐คญ).
Unpopular opinion: I don't really like QToey that much (they are last on my list for this show). Toey's behaviour like a little baby (the cutesy way he was talking) was really grating on my nerves (he was overusing it). It looks so fake and annoying ๐ I was also not fine with others behaving like since he is crying then he should be forgiven (but that's a common trope in dramas ๐ฎโ๐จ). Q - I can't put my finger on it but I just don't like his character as love interest. As a fiend and artist he is fine - perhaps because he usually communicates with others? ๐คทโโ๏ธ I am not saying that their acting is bad but perhaps script and directing of their romance could have been improved.
my guess is unnecessary understandings or drama...or maybe just sweet through and through
We don't know how long Tan liked Fang (or have I missed that part?) and for me playboy can also mean easily falls in and out of love. We don't know Tan's history, so I am just speculating that he might be most likely candidate ๐คทโโ๏ธ When it come to Chian I meant that if the girls were chasing him, it might give Pun bad impression/make him think like Chain is two-timing or something like that. I however wish no cheating happens as I like the couples and none seem at the moment as cheating type. Also fingers crossed that we don't get caricature villains ๐ค(like some crazy ex... especially ex-GF).
my guess is unnecessary understandings or drama...or maybe just sweet through and through
I think there might be cheating... You remember how they were all dissing Tan and his playboy ways? If there is cheating then he might be the prime suspect. Chain was also called playboy (but just by Tan), so he might have like multiple delusional girls chasing him (and hence Pun being cross with him).
I was confused watching it the first time so let me help you a tiny bit. Its a story about 2 step brothers(although…
I think you did a great job explaining it โค๏ธ IMO people are having difficulties with this series because it's not typical Korean BL. When I was watching it I was thinking it looks more like Japanese BL (story-wise) where one doesn't get everything/solution on a platter (series run time is also not helping here).
idk why but i have a strange feeling that this series will have a sad ending.. i really hope not๐ฅฒbtw this episode…
Butter knife was just the begging of the "goodies". Wasn't Thai pierced trough with that katana (don't the me that the guy missed him and got stabbed ๐คฆโโ๏ธ - if so then how was he & bro such ninjas? Or was bro better and he is just sloppy seconds?)? Why not even a scratch?! ๐คฏ
This episode made me happy and shy ๐.Baby Toey is the cutest.So officially we now have two active couples โบ๏ธ.I…
I was thinking - are they going to "resurrect" Chinchilla baby? ๐คญ (that would be a nice cameo and I really liked their rendition of "Just being friendly", so I was ๐ค)
I am in the camp: his acting needs improving and director has a big role in that as well (I am not fan of Off…
Yes, they were great in Not Me but then came Cooking Crush and we are back to same old ๐ That is why I think that good director (and script) are so important (and usually what they learnd "sticks" with actors).
I loved 10 things I hate about you (it hat a really nice soundtrack)! The play is IMO to misogynistic (I know…
True (as with any work), not for everyone. I think that even for the natives the language is a big barrier and for me - form (by that I mean play). I am not a fan of pages long descriptions of for example forest (in my curriculum we had several classics that have them ๐) but just dialogues with barley anything surrounding it is quite tiring for me.

Yes, I know when Shakespeare was writing and yes, she was "born in the wrong time". Thank you for the short analysis - I remember that we were "dissecting" Romeo and Juliet but we were not talking about the other points (like it being sarcastic/cynical mirror to society, although Romeo ditching Rosaline for the next pretty face is quite cynical). I don't come from English speaking country, so I guess his works were not considered important enough to get into more details but I find it fascinating and perhaps I might read Taming of the Shrew again and see it in another light. Thank you again ๐ฅฐ
I think people who are criticizing him are mostly commenting that his acting skills needs improving (which I agree…
I agree with you but even if he were a shitty person - the criticism about his behaviour should also be factually true. Thank you for letting me know about the other crazy things they are writing - they should find some hobby instead... Perhaps creative writing class?
For me they never were close to my favourites (even For ebook are higher) and that it since Star in my mind (I…
Criticism/praise of his acting is a bit like review of restaurant - it is something that sadly public people have to deal with. That doesn't mean that personal attacks (like if they were telling that he is ugly or to dump his significant other because of the ship - I shutter every time I hear about KR actors and the pressure their fans extent ๐คฏ - the sheer number of self unaliving is tragic) or falls claims are in any way ok. His family is not public, so same as I would not like to be harassed by (probably) thousands, they shouldn't be either. We all should have right to privacy (even public people) and it should not matter if the sister had any mental issues or not - she is not a public person, so nobody should even think about writing to her. IMO there should be crimal laws against such harassment and they should be inforced.
For me they never were close to my favourites (even For ebook are higher) and that it since Star in my mind (I…
I think you misunderstood the whole thing, so let me clarify. I asked previous poster what was the issue (as I was not aware - and I have not done any deep dive, so I am not going to argue what the "internet" was talking about), was told that people were criticizing Dunk's acting and GMM decided to take legal actions about that. I wrote that having opinion about somebody's ACTING is not a crime (=in such situation it's lawfare and not actually justice) but if people were making false accusations (like if somebody was claiming that his behaviour on set was that and that - which is not true), then it makes sense to take legal action about it makes sense. Let me repeat the sentence and make it clearer: If people we making up stories about him - then legal actions have some merit (=false accusations are bad) but having an opinion [about his acting]?(=lawsuit for criticism of his acting is bad)

Where was I (cyber) bullying anybody? ๐ Is it forbidden to criticise actor's acting? Am I only allowed to say/write it once? You might not agree with my opinion and that is fine. I however was not attacking anybody and was respectful of others opinions. You like Off's acting - great + there are others who share your opinion. You find Fluke's acting good - fantastic ๐. I don't have to share anybody's opinion (and neither do you). Does one have to be acting coach to have in your opinion valid negative opinion about an actor but to have positive - not mandatory? Logic ๐ฏ Perhaps take a few deep breath before writing - it usually helps people calm down.
I am in the camp: his acting needs improving and director has a big role in that as well (I am not fan of Off…
Yes, that's exactly what I meant! Mix really got better and Earth gets basically the same roles, so how can he evolve? Perhaps her change of partners might help (might not but one never knows)?

You are 2nd person who "said" it to me today ๐ฑ For me they just not clicked but we all have subjective opinions that are equally valid ๐ For me Fluke was just so bland (in Not Me and Be My Favourite) and I remember him only having 1 expression but others saw it differently. So good for him and I hope that JessFluke is going to be great ๐ค

I don't see any disrespect ๐ (and don't worry about the language - it's also not my 1st and you are doing fine) - we can all have different opinions ๐
