USA - The half of it that hates Donald Trump as much as you do.
On Heartbeat Dec 5, 2025
Title Heartbeat
Meh...

This flick should be grabbing me and not letting go, given the potentially agonizing situation...but, I'm bored. Out at 48 minutes.

Dropped.

Wow. Are you truly this dense?

WHY does Jeonghan dating a man he believes to be his cousin "disturb" you? What specific aspects of that situation upset you, and WHY?

It is a direct question, yet you don't seem to comprehend it.

"Because I said so" is not an answer.

I like this one quite a bit.
It's cute and Japanese-y but not overly so.

I keep hoping Kano will run into the alternate version of himself in the alternate world, and...there would be a thermonuclear explosion or something?

Who cares if they're cousins? Or brothers, for that matter?Did you know two men can't reproduce, ergo there's…
lol
Another one of the type of comment, in which some wild MDLer imagines that only people to whom they've granted permission of some kind are allowed to "come under their comments" and reply. omg...lol

Did you know this is an open-reply, public comment thread, and not a private direct message chat? No? Well, guess what, it IS an open-reply public comment thread. Grow up.

There is a significant difference between rendering a judgment about someone's comments/perspectives and making a self-righteous judgment about someone's or a character's morals. Your inability to explain where your outrage comes from, or why you're outraged at all, makes my point. You posted to feel morally superior. There's a lot of that on MDL.

Oh dear...you wrote "fucking" twice. You must reeeeeeeally be mad.

Is that hysterical, all-caps, rage-spew, "DO NOT EVER invalidate what I'm feeling," (lol, poor thing) meant to replace an argument as to how what you're feeling IS valid because you have no argument to make, or is it a run-of-the-mill outburst in reaction to the concept that your fee-fees, and only your fee-fees, determine the value of whatever nonsense you utter or type?

Again, simple question: WHY and how is it wrong, immoral, creepy, or gross for two men who are brothers, cousins, or otherwise related, to have a romantic/sexual relationship?

EXACTLY what is it that so deeply disturbs you about this?
You keep posting that it's "insane," yet you haven't said WHY it's insane.

Maybe take a look at WHY it's "weird" for you, but not for them.
Plus, straight first cousins get married every day all over the world, depending on location. It's perfectly legal in half the US.

I feel like this plot description should include they aren’t blood cousins cause now the world and ppl who hasn’t…
I'm hoping for a first blood-cousins or blood-brothers BL soon!
Half the fun would be watching MDL Church Lady heads explode. :)

I haven’t been scrolling the comments a lot so I’m sorry for asking. but what about the “cousins” comments?
I wish they WERE blood related, which would make this hot show even hotter.

y'all, i legit started crying when Jeonghan called Iljo pretty when he was all beaten up.
Me too, and it surprised the hell out of me (that I cried). I also teared up when Iljo started begging Jeonghan to "like me," at Jeonghan's request, of course. :) That's how you do cute without it becoming cutesy.

Damn, I’m addicted to this. So far it’s on par with Secret Relationships for me. Tell me why this makes me…
Agree! Best Korean BL in a long time.
"Jinx?" Can you steer me to that...? Manhwa?

If you think the totality of Jeonghan's personality is that he's a "red flag," you're not paying attention.

I just wanna ask lijo, how good is that 🍆? Because that guy treated him like 💩. there's a green flag guy…
Who cares if they're cousins? Or brothers, for that matter?
Did you know two men can't reproduce, ergo there's zero chance of two-headed babies?
Or is your comment meant as a moral judgement of some kind, which you're in no position to render? Oh, and Iljo is adopted (which is the usual BL cop-out in these situations). Do try to keep up.

Ep. 4
This is how to deliver tropes, if tropes there must be.

Best BL released in the last few months.
It's a pleasure to feel 100% engaged from beginning to end of each episode.

Lord, does Jeonghan rock that tan suit or what? :)

Nice to have two eps released per week, too.
Bravo!

Ep. 3:
Wow...ummm, yeah, just...wow.

For me, this is exceeding all hopes and expectations.
Best nc scenes in quite some time, and all without showing anything "explicit" (though people toss that word around MDL as though showing a bare ankle is "explicit).
From the kissing to the ice cream licking to the grape exchanging, good Lord, I'm having all sorts of bad/evil/exquisite tingles in all the right places.
These two actors/characters have incredible/rare chemistry and heat.

I usually roll my eyes at willowy bottoms like Iljo, but not this time. He has just enough independent energy and spark to keep surprising me with some of his actions.
Following Jeonghan to his room and peeking around the corner.
Taking the initiative in the bedroom...Jeonghan's "You dare to get on top?" was hot, satirical, and hilarious, all at once. I dare to hope that later on, we might see Iljo do just that, with JH's willing participation. :P
Kicking Jeonghan's in the shin outside the cafe was an incredible thing. Iljo acted for all the abused bottoms in BL History with that move.
I was totally surprised, and then cackled like a crazy person. :)

And then there is Jeong Ri U/Jeonghan...
This man is a gifted actor. Jeonghan threw every dirtbag/dom-top bit of verbal ugliness he could think of at Iljo, and yet, through all of it I kept feeling bad for him because I could see the real hurt and pain in that wounded place inside him from which all that nastiness was coming. I've known a good number of guys like that; one of them is my brother. They honestly do. not. know. how. to express tenderness and affection, be it romantic or platonic, as much as they may want to. Men like this tend to express such feelings indirectly, through actions.

Earlier in the episode, I saw Jeonghan's armor slipping as he began to find ways of indicating those feelings to Iljo through actions, including their lovemaking. As much as he played the dom/top in bed, I felt the softness in his feelings for Iljo.
And we must ask: How many tops voluntarily ______ their bottoms on the bathroom sink counter just because they WANT to?
This character is epic and BL boundary-breaking. :)
I find him wildly compelling.

I'm glad to see Ri U nailing this part in a full-budget BL series, as I saw him in two micro-series on YT and pegged him as someone with star potential, and not just in BL World. I can see this guy as a major star. It will be interesting to watch his career and see how far he goes. Perhaps he will be the first to break through Korea's retro-homophobia and move into mainstream stardom after doing BL with full-on making out and implied sex.

Other major Korean movie stars have done early gay roles and had continued success, but none that I know of has come out of BL World and moved on and up. We shall see.
