The meta ending... Ollie's tongue making an appearance... It was all too perfect and I'm not ready for it to be over 😭😭

No, on the show they mentioned she is a director known for BL, but she did a hetero romcom set up for the short drama she directed as part of the competition. She did say on the show that she wanted to demonstrate her versatility as a director, which might be true, but I also suspect that producers wanted something more "mainstream"/"commerical" friendly. I would be VERY surprised if she didn't keep directing BLs after PP's success. She is the 👑 in my opinion.

Okay just to play devils advocate for the AI beach scene:
1) they likely didn't have the budget to travel for one scene, so they went to a beach near Seoul... And if they filmed during low tide, the background would be a tidal flat (no water/waves; not very aesthetically pleasing).
2) the MC/ML were at the beach because that was how the novel ended. So if they changed the location, novel readers may have been upset.

I'm willing to overlook it (even though it was BAD AI), because this wasn't a big production, and lets be real, Yoonsik was distracting me anyways. 🥵

Is the time of release on the MDL calendar correct?

Also also, what happened to Khun's stalker? Like that could have been an interesting plot point, but it just went no where. This show was such a mess...

Also, it's crazy to me that Jae Min seemed to understand English, but never spoke it, and just left all the grunt work on Khun to understand his Korean the whole time.

Anyone else laugh realizing the GL couple just disappeared?

So... Does this mean we will get a Bae Min Gi BL soon?

The producers of Director's Arena did her dirty by convincing her to not film a BL.

I think one thing that was eye-opening for me was how everyone on the show reacted to AI content. Koreans really aren't that critical of it... because there was some BAD AI shown, and they all just acted impressed most of the time.

I see so many comments on MDL disavowing AI use, and now I am certain that we will only be getting more of it.

I hope they do the drama together, and he publicly distances himself from his 'official' fan club. Surely, he can cut out a portion of crazy fans (that are pretty much anti-fans at this point if they are threatening to not support his projects) and his career will still survive.

I was so confused by that too... Maybe the app has more episodes you can watch?
Edit: confirmed, seems like there are 70+ episodes of the top two dramas on Lezhin Snack. Personally, I thought this competition show was interesting, but not enough to download a coin-based, short drama app. 😂

Exactly... the NC scene was good, but how did we get there?? Their emotional resolution was a speed run. If I actually cared about the couple (which tbh, it's been hard to given the choppy editing of this show), then them being intimate would have been much more spicy for me. Instead, it fell flat. I want to watch a scene and be immersed in the characters/relationship, not just thinking "oh, the actors did a good job here. A+ kissing effort boys 🤔"

I think the implication is that Prosecutor Yoon (his friend) was looking into the case, more openly than Ju, and she died as a result. Likely because she didn't believe that Lee Chae Ha's father was the murderer and that it was a coverup. I don't think they specify how she died, but I could be wrong.

Hard to have hurt for both of them, lets be real. 🤭

I'm not sure if we watched the same thing, but that teaser was 100% giving queerbaiting vibes. Or at the very least, gay unrequited love. Do we really need another tragic gay story? I vote no.

Teaser randomly popped up on my YT feed ->
Adrenaline went high thinking we might actually have a mainstream KBL coming our way ->
Opens MDL to see the 'bromance' tag ->
😭😭😭

Just finished ep6.. I'm not sure if watching this immediately after last twilight was a good idea. Obviously, the actors brought me here, and I have no complaints about them... But for some reason I am just not vibing with the couple in this. And I'm not sure why.

In is really such a crybaby, that it's getting a bit exhausting at this point. His boyfriend really shouldn't be his therapist, and that's pretty much what their relationship is a this point (with kissing/sex added in). They were more enjoyable when they were in their bickering phase.

Also, I'm not sure what the character of Thap is trying to be... He was a cool, cocky doctor, and he kind of still is, but then it's like his entire personality just shifts to being this comfort to In's unresolved trauma. Which I think I wouldn't mind that much, but it doesn't feel like Thap has let down any of his walls yet and been emotional with In, so again , he just comes across as a flirty therapist. Nothing about this character resonates with me or makes me interested.

I'll probably stick it through for the actors or drop after another episode. With the MDL rating, I definitely expected to be more engaged with this though.

I'm glad I finally read the synopsis for this and gave it a shot, because just based on the title and poster vibes, I thought this was going be some supernatural story (twilight = vampires forever in my brain I guess; also it didn't register at all that those are goldfish in the poster).

Nipple play on daddy Jay's lap?? 🫣 Urm... Yes, please.
