"We gays?" I'm gay, and I don't need a story to perfectly mirror my experiences in order to enjoy it. I find comfort…
I never said it has to mirror real life experiences for me to enjoy it, that you can see if you take a look at my ratings for sweet and happy BLs. What I said is that it's exhausting to see only happiness and nothing else in literally 90% of BLs when it's nothing like that in reality. The cycle is never ending: I see it on screen, I'm happy, it ends, I return to reality, I realize that I haven't even come out to my own family because I know that not a single thing will go well, I'm sad for myself and all of my queer siblings in the world who are struggling every day just because of who we are.
There you go again with the "only depicting hardships", nobody said that.
You're right, fiction is called fiction because it's fake. But something being fake doesn't mean it should all be butterflies and rainbows. Everybody watches for their own reasons, and I understand that some people need an escape, but shitting on a series and automatically rating it with scores lower than 7 just because of a completely normal daily situation such as internalized homophobia is just insane to me. It's the main reason why I wish more dramas showed the "hardships" factor. People hating on a series for being a bit too real just shows they have had everything sugar coated for them.
As for straight cis women, oh boy could I talk for days about how disgusting some of them are. 1. Go on TikTok and go to any video of a boy that says "Just a boy who likes boys." and open the comments. All you will see is the mentioned "SCW" (straight cis women) thirsting over the boy, saying "Why are all the good ones always gay", "I can change him", "I can wear a strap-on for you", etc. 2. Many SCW who are BL fans are homophobic themselves. All of them consume gay media like it's water but most will go crazy if a boy they like is gay. Or let me take Thailand legalizing same-sex marriage as an example. You have no idea just how many comments I saw saying "I love it when it's fiction and in dramas, but it's a sin in real life!" or "I watch BL everyday so I'm happy, but why would women get married?" etc... It's disgusting how many SCW fetishize gay men and absolutely dispise anything sapphic or gender-queer related. 3. They make so many stereotypes and will not watch a drama or read a manga/manhwa if one main lead is not big, muscular, cold, tall, etc and the other small, petite, tsundere, etc... I could go on and on but that would be way too long of a comment. And just to make sure you don't misunderstand something again, I said "most", "some", and "many", not "all".
Hope you understood my point. I never said "all must be miserable", all I said was that I want more real life experiences in dramas. Thanks if you read all of that!
I have no idea what yall are on about, but this was amazing!!! Not being able to handle and understand internalized homophobia (because many of you are cis straight women obsessed with fetishizing gay men) is your own problem and it doesn't automatically make the show bad!
We gays love seeing our own problems in media, it gives a sense of a deeper connection to the characters and makes the story feel way more real. I am sick of so many BLs literally forgetting that being gay is one of the biggest taboos no matter where you are. Seeing all the happy ever afters makes one happy of course, but seeing those couples have all the support in the world, loving and accepting families and friends, no problems, so much confidence, etc just makes everything feel so fake and unrelatable... I wish we had more shows like this showing what it actually means to be gay in this society and not just sugarcoating everything like we're in a parallel universe...
I don't think so. He looks more like the korean version of lay. Just like someone else mentioned below. Ji ho…
Yesss, and it's an even bigger flex saying I've been Jiwoong's fan since 2021 because I watched The Sweet Blood right when it aired😍 He's actually the reason I watched Boys Planet in the first place, I had to support my man lol
I don't think so. He looks more like the korean version of lay. Just like someone else mentioned below. Ji ho…
As much as I love the current groups, I still miss BP so much😭 Thinking it's gonna be 1 year since it ended very soon is just so painful and nostalgic... (Can't forget the pain of losing Moonbin as well☹️)
I don't think so. He looks more like the korean version of lay. Just like someone else mentioned below. Ji ho…
Frrr, comparing groups gets on my nerves so freaking much! Or the "Xth gen leader" and then everyone starts fighting about their favs being the gen leader. Lke stfu all your idols are probably hanging out together every day and don't give a shit about being the best, like please...
As for the Boys Planet groups, people are literally BLIND and DEAF if they don't stan most of those groups and soloists... I mean have you seen the talent they all have? ZB1, EVNNE, TIOT, One Pact, ONLEE, AMPERS&ONE, etc... Why are people only interested in the main groups of survival shows😭
I don't think so. He looks more like the korean version of lay. Just like someone else mentioned below. Ji ho…
I haven't updated that list for so so long, there are like additional 15 groups I have started to follow since the last time I updated it lol
They truly are!! People hyped Their debut up so much and then just like forgot about them, like yall please, their discography is short for now but it's literally PERFECT! They're such a refreshing group imo!
I don't think so. He looks more like the korean version of lay. Just like someone else mentioned below. Ji ho…
He looks a lot like Hanbin to me, especially his 45° profile... OMG yes exactly! Thank you so much!! I was thinking of it the whole day, but couldn't come up with the name Lim Jisub, thanks!
Nah mate! usually a second season has more budget cuz it's a proven hit, it also has a built in audience that…
I don't have the same opinion about the characters tbh, I usually prefer characters to change and it doesn't matter if they have a "glow up" or "glow down" because every chnage makes them more interesting... I really don't understand why people want to watch the same thing in a new season, it's a new season because new things are happening so it makes sense things have changed. It's not like our lives stay the same either, everything changes all the time🤷
I simply ADORE Jeon JongSeo's acting in this series, she's incredible!! She's pretty, she can act, she has perfect facial expressions, she has a pleasant voice, and she's nice and kind from the interviews I've seen... She's definitely climbing up in my ranks of favorite actresses!!
