It's doesn't bother you that the straight couple is becoming the main one in the BL? Oh brother.
The point is that it's a queer drama, and you would expect a queer show to put a gay couple in the spotlight :D which is apparently isn't the case.
Pretty weird, if you ask me, considering we already have countless hettie dramas. Heterosexuals dramas put straight pairs on the first place, and queer dramas are now normalised to do that too? Hmm. You wouldn't see it happening in reverse, that's for sure.
Just wanted to point out to the people thinking that the straight couple plot is so in the background you won't even notice it: Queer people on all platforms are annoyed by it. Twitter, TikTok, everyone sees it, everyone talks about it. So, no, it's not pointless whining or baseless accusations, it's just pointing out the obvious based on the facts. If it wasn't such an issue, everyone just would shrug and say meh and just skip it.
But we, as a community, are used to it. You think it's the first time the straight couple overwhelms the queer one? Look at Arcane. Even the writers themselves forgot they had a very popular wlw pair. And everyone eats it up. Every time. And just accuses us of whining.
So, no, it is far from being a first or the last time. But every time is just tiring as the last, and that's why we talk about it. Peace ✌️
I think one user put it as simply as this: Ji Yu' s relationship with Chan Yeong is very present and prominent…
I mean, sure there are scenes like that, but just like i said, there's not much of them. Because they don't interact much due to the fact that they're barely friends as of now.
Why does the second pair feels more present? Because they already had deep conversations like that, example being the scene where Chan Yeong goes back to tennis because Ji Yu talks with him about doing things that you love. This is not baseless fear that they're overshadowing the main pair, they kinda already do....
you guys? did we watch different show? like deadass? what do you mean Heesu has less screentime than the straight…
I think one user put it as simply as this: Ji Yu' s relationship with Chan Yeong is very present and prominent as of now, while any scene with Heesu and Seungwon is happening in the background. It is not only about the chiken date, but it is the most obvious example.
It is not about the cute scenes, it's just that there's not much of meaningful and deep scenes between them either.
This would make sense if the focus of the two episodes of the week was indeed on Heesu and not Chan Yeong's struggles…
The series. Not the movie. And yes, it does contain explicit scenes. And? Those are adult gay men, and the tv series are based on a real novel, which is in turn based on authors real life expiriences. And yet, i didn't meant that as "mature". I meant topics of homophobia, internalised and externalised, misogyny, AIDS, death of loved ones and etc.
You don't like explicit content? Your Name Engraved (Edit: My gf says that it does have it, but assures that it's still a touching story) on my Heart. Let Free The Curse of Taekwondo. No, those are not particularly happy. But our lives are not particularly happy either.
Can 18 y.os experience love? Yeah, for sure. I was a 14 y.o. freshly out of the closet girl once too. Do this show portray it gracefully? No. In fact, it doesn't portray it at all. So excuse me if i and other queer people are kind of pissed at it.
Will i continue watching it? Perhaps. If it gets better. So far, it didn't. And for what reason, a bunch of other lesbian, bi, gay and other folks already explained over and over again.
And i didn't insult you, at least didn't mean to. But no, i do not take into consideration straight people's opinion on queer shows.
This would make sense if the focus of the two episodes of the week was indeed on Heesu and not Chan Yeong's struggles…
I feel like you would benefit from watching something mature. Like love in the big city. (A true love story, just like you said, and not this stuff) Then you will understand what queer people want to see in their lgbt dramas. Not blatant queerbait at this point.
But, what did i expect from a straight person in the first place? Right, complete disregard to others taste and experience.
Edit: And since i have a feeling that you totally checked out my page, cause of the offhand mention of the squid game and action/thriller dramas(Which is...wow. Meow.), you could've also paid attention to the two bls i rated as 10 and 9 ✌️
Dunno who's in charge of the preview of the episodes, but truly love that they stubbornly continue to put Heesu and Seungwon on them, no matter how sparse their interactions were.
Well... that was disappointing. Why the heck am i seeing more of CY than HS. AND WHERE IS THE CHICKEN DATEEE????
I feel like we were all just collectively queer baited in a lgbt show lol. Cause tf you mean you talk about the potential date and then just....not....show it....?
to be blunt, I am a hetero person so it is interesting to see the bias of the lgbt+ and their insistence on watching…
This would make sense if the focus of the two episodes of the week was indeed on Heesu and not Chan Yeong's struggles lol. We don't see him from Heesu's perspective, we see him from either the "outsiders" (The third party: Us, the viewer) perspective, or his own.
Be patient...yeah, we hear it for two weeks now. But, we shall see. Maybe next week we have to be "just patient" too, yeah?
See, this is a problem i have too. Why do the second leads (are second leads in the first place?) get to be shown…
I would like to believe that thing about exploring relationship between the four is true, if not for the fact that the show is yet to explore relationship between Heesu and his best (!!!) friend in depth, we get one little scene of Ji Yu and Seungwon, and communication between any other combination other than main pairs is pretty much nonexistent.... No, let's be real, anything else that is not this stuff between Ji Yu and Chan Yeong.
If they're not gonna give all of the screen time of future episodes to Heesu and Seungwon, which is a pretty big IF, their relationship is gonna be 100% rushed.
soo because you want the other part, you’re here lying thru your teeth?? and how’s is this your comment going…
Y'know, i have nothing to say against Ji Yu, cause there's literally nothing to be critical of, but the guy is okay? Really? Really really? He's straight up a bad friend and a lukewarm person overall.
