Just for the record. What country are you calling home? Thanks for the thought provoking post.

i was only taking a short peek at Ep 1 since the show hasn't completed (waiting it out). but at :57 it shows ML in formation at what i'm assuming is ROK boot camp. are we going to go through another "Perfect Crown" style backlash about correctness in costuming? are the DIs in ROK really wearing a red cap that says "Ranger" on it? somehow i'm not getting real DI feels and anxious boot camp thoughts from this. do we have any ROK males on this thread that can confirm any authenticity? (signed a Mother of a Marine--MoM) TIA.

WTF? Really????? you're gonna get into an islamist propaganda war on MDL???? all over PP of Coke???? where's the admin?

hey friend. me too! about 30 minutes in and i just had to catch my breath! moi aussi...3 kiddos with 3 totally different personalities. thankfully the US toxic mentality (at least in my town) hasn't even come close to the levels of bully prone ROK where the suicide rate is off the charts. maybe i need a good adult beverage to get back to EP 1. we shall carry on. <3

thanks for your feedback. i'm going to sit on this for a couple weeks until it fleshes out. i'd LOVE to see a white truck of doom without a corpse! and i really don't mind some family/saeguk intrigue as long as my head doesn't explode from all the added side issues and nuances. the lead actors are so well suited for each other too. great casting!

i hate to do it, but seeing all these posts about reincarnation, modern day "court intrigue", and possibly a white truck of doom get me frightened. i may need to wait to watch until all episodes have completed. i need my eventual HE. yeah, i'm weak.

hahaha! were you at Parris Island for USMC boot camp? this...from every RCT who still has any wisdom teeth <3

If you’re using an iPhone to rate/select gold stars, forget it. It’s so messed up and FUBAR. try selecting rating stars on your desktop computer. BTW this was an amazing show!

Ooops! Sorry. My bad. It’s HULU. Mea culpe to NF. 🙄

Watching this on Netflix in the US. glad i watched the coronation scene...all 2 minutes of it...when i first heard about the made-up false misrepresentation. that scene was literally about 2 minutes AND the production team probably re-used the exact same headdress and beads as about 5 other K-dramas. loving the acting! can i just say i absolutely LOVE watching Steven Noe in everything he does? here in PC he's playing the PM of ROK. but he's been in so many dramas and every time he's onscreen my attention is on him. also, what's up with Netflix dropping sub lines??!!! i can't speak korean, and i'm really sure there's been many scenes where the actors speak about 3 sentences and there's nothing subbed. Netflix needs to do better!!!! justice for this wonderful show and its artists. loving it!

The OST is out of this world. Far beyond the level of the story and acting. Amazing! 💜

Also available on HITV app in the US.

Enjoying the first few episodes. So the concensus is definitely watch the first 20 episodes. Skip the middle parts and watch maybe the last couple episodes. Really not looking forward to the ML having grief and loneliness for 17 episodes.

if anyone is still interested in watching Farewell My Concubine, it's available on YouTube, BUT you have to do some sleuthing because currently it's listed with the Actor's name, Leslie Cheung in the title. as is typical of YT, there are snippets of the movie available also, but the FULL movie is over 2 hours long.

Airing on GagaOOlala...but MDL still does not recognize their platform?

I’m not a professional cameraman or producer but the production quality is low. The boys are adorable. Not amazing by a long shot but kinda unnatural. Stilted. Although there’s only brief above the waist nudity (what you’d see at any pool) it’s rated M on Netflix. What’s up with that?

i hope you finished watching this for the most lovely HE. <3

Will watch this regardless just for SJS. 💜🇺🇸💜🇺🇸

thanks for the spoiler. so it's not a happy ending (HE). shishio, if he's gay and just suppresses his true desires and enters into a relationship for appearances, or do they just end up being friends and it's ok with both of them? the saddest part of LGB series is this type of ending where the gay person enters relationships just for show and/or tries to ignore their true wants and needs, thereby humiliating everyone. more lives are ruined in series with this type of trope. i try to steer clear of viewing these BC they are so negative.
