Any "straight" guy who falls this easily for a fem dude wasn't "straight" to begin with.
I could be wrong, but is there a gay stereotype or two they might have left out so far? :) Who introduces themselves like this?: "Hi, I'm _______________, I'm a drag queen." (duh) "Hi, I'm _______________, I'm a male-to-female transexual." (well, alrighty then.) "Hi, I'm _______________. I'm bisexual." (Who asked?)
I suppose the casting was intended to capture the long, languid look of whatever Manga characters these people are based on, but I often feel I'm watching a drama whose MCs are lipstick Lesbians.
Finally, at the end of four episodes, something happened.
A few cute moments among content that is 95% rehashed tropes/cringe cliches we've seen 174 times before. Squealing fangirls, "the four kings," rolling on top of a crush in the night, lol, Perfect fluff and nonsense for the cotton candy/rainbows/unicorns/glitter Little Girls kicking their feet in comments below.
I continue watching for Hioki. Something about him is hella attractive to me.
kyo koo hwan they dont appreciate him enough in korea if he were to act with other companies internationally he…
Agreed! He's a great actor. I loved him within minutes, the first time I saw him in Netflix's "D.P." I keep an eye out for his projects and watch what I can. He is getting LOTS of lead role film work over the last few years, so maybe he's more appreciated than we realize. Glad to see it!
KKH is doing a great deal of writing and directing, as well. Maybe he keeps his head down and avoids Korea's sadistic press and bogus "controversies" so well that it seems he's not paid much attention, but he is so, in the ways that matter.
He isn't classically handsome either, though I find him attractive/sexy/charismatic. I hardly recognized him in the photo above. Looks get the press's attention, too.
i had a look at your lists and noticed you loved semantic error and see your love - to me this drama is very similar…
I just realized that engaging in this discussion with you would require me to watch this entire show, which I don't want to do. However, maybe I could compare the first two episodes of the three shows....we'll see.
I remember coming thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close to dropping "See Your Love in the first episode, during which it felt like an exceptionally stupid Thai production, if you get my drift.

Oh man...that sounds like a LOT of work. :) But I do appreciate your comment and your asking...I will try to remember to come back to this later. I'm at the end of a busy day, and the brain is at half-to-quarter-speed.
To get it to play, you'll need to click on the fuzzy/gray "play" button, after which the real one will appear on the screen. Hope you're still around to find this reply. :)
Ep 1: Strong 8/10 Ep 2: "Beijing Beijing" is one of the most intense, super-short BL short films I have seen. I've watched 4 times and cry at the end every go-round. :) 10/10 Ep. 3: Twisted, sick, illogical, tragic, and happens thousands of times around the world every day. 7/10 Ep. 4: Weak 4/10

Thanks for the tip.
I just watched and enjoyed it. The ending put a big smile on my face. :)

Loved the film. It needs another couple of watches to see all of what's going on here, but I'm there for it.

I always get a kick out of older Chinese BLs with the god-awful, amateur post-production, dubbed dialogue. :)

I can love a well-done bleak af movie, but this ain't that.

I don't mind a bit of delightful fluff and happiness now and then.
Kudos to the bride, though could she have waited any longer? :D lol
