In one life Joe just wants to do his job and be loved. In the next life, he just wants to do his job and help his mom, but these little rats (Ming, Tong, and Tharn) just can’t let him breathe. I’m exhausted for him.
Because where’d you find anyone as gorgeous as he is? You might as well not even try.
I agree (as you can probably tell by my profile pic lol). Up is definitely more unique looking than Mek. I will say that it took/is taking a bit of effort to get used to him playing the dom top role though.

The actor who plays Ming is the more popular actor, so I think that may have played a role in the decision to cast him as a lead. It's possible that he and the actor who plays Joe were already set as the main couple before they even made a final decision on who would play Tong's character.
I'm loving this series so much. I don't want it to end. I'm getting the same feelings I had during the Japanese one. Both series are unique my level of gushing at the sweetness of all the couples is the exact same. 😂
so many specuations whom Hong Lim loves more: the King or the Queen. My pers[pective is that HL loves the Queen…
". the Queen and honglim had forceful sex, hd overwhelming lust which developed into love" I fundamentally disagree with this notion as deeply you as you disagree with notion that whatever the King and Hong Lim had was love. Hong Lim was actively and (as far as we see until AFTER sex with the queen) willingly having sex with the king. They shot daggers at each other when they walked past each other in the palace.
The king was crazy. The Queen was an incredibly difficult situation. Hong Lim was also in a difficult situation, but not one that we can say was alleviated by being with the Queen. Being an attendant to the King in every capacity was essentially what the Queen was too. The differences are that Hong Lim was there first and that Hong Lim and the Queen had a deeper relationship that the King and Queen didn't.
"Those who loved BL thougth that this a BL story and so disappointed that it was not true love ( as "inlove") between the King and Honglim." Interpreting characters in a movie is ok, but don't speak for people. BL's are fantasy. Many of them are toxic fantasies that don't have a happy ending. That you would think people who are actually interested in BLs would feel negatively about this movie because it ended badly for the two male leads is really weird.
"This movie reinforces the belief that it is harder to find true love in LBQTA community." The LGB and A are sexual preferences. The Q and T are gender identities. This movie focuses on a romance and the complications thereof between two men and opens a window on what that *may* have looked like in 13th century Korea among royalty/aristocracy. If you're well read at all on this period or those before it in this region, you'd know sometimes it goes much better or much worse. Either way, it's not reinforcing any stereotypes, primarily because it isn't dealing with any modern stereotypes at all.
I’m CONVINCED that people hype up the wrong shows in BL. I am absolutely in love with this drama. Like why am…
To be honest, if this ends up being one of the "underrated" BLs, I'm gonna blame it on Vice Versa. That drama just doesn't showcase Jimmy and Sea's skills the way this one does. It's very possible a lot of people won't even give this one a chance just because they didn't like Jimmy and Sea in Vice Versa...
Maybe it's because not enough time has passed since Only Friends, but every time I see Night look at Day, I simultaneously see both pity for his brother and a longing to meet with Boston.
do yyou thing its a 'strong' bbromance or just a nromal bromance?
Maybe somewhere in between? Song Weilong's character is a little too stiff for the first, so you don't really feel the passion of their relationship until later. However, the relationship between Jing Boran's character and Hong Yao's character is pretty intense and more like typical Chinese bromances like Word of Honor or The Untamed. The show overall isn't as good as either of those (imo), but it's still good and if you liked The Untamed, you'll like this too.
