USA - The half of it that hates Donald Trump as much as you do.

i feel like the king took those... drastic measures cuz of the fact that he was king and even with all that power…
He set things in motion, yes AND they both, but especially the Chief, lied to and betrayed him multiple times after that...

Shades of gray, like the real world.

how is he humping his horse flawlessly after that incident?! unbelievable timeline by the second-half XD
I think it had been a few months by then. Remember, she was barely _________ at the time of the wild-ass library scene. When he returned, she was as big as a house.

Hong Rim and the Queen are obviously victims here. The king got what he deserved.
You can tell from your comments here who has a black-and-white perspective on the world. This film is over your head.

"Regardless of the nudity and the sexually explicit scenes, the film is worth watching. It's too painfully awe-aspiring."

What do you mean, "regardless?" The nudity and sex are big pluses! :D

I just finished my fifth watch of this film in about as many years. It gets better every time. I find significant details I missed before with each new viewing. One of the best films of all time, in my book. 11/10+

Why are Knetz trying to cancel the show?
Ahhh...yes, I recall a stupid freakout a couple of years back about some bowls not being precisely accurate to the movie's time frame, along with another petty detail no one would have noticed if not for the insane Knetz. The show was canceled. That was early in my days of following Asian dramas/cinema and I thought it was freaking crazy that a major production that was nearly done airing was shut down mid-broadcast by such petty silliness.

I have come to blame the producers/broadcasters even more than the Knetz for this phenomenon. If they would grow a backbone and ignore these nut jobs on the Internet, broadcast their shows as planned, and be done with it, after a few rounds of that sort of response, the knetz would be drained of influence. But every time a company bows to this craziness, it empowers them more.

With rare exceptions, I do not watch C-dramas or films. It's my own little boycott in protest of their crazy-ass gay content ban, which is disgraceful and bigoted.

Ignore the negative reviews and give it a try! For me, it should be 8.5/10 because this is definitely an above-average…

Well, I can't see the heroine in the role of a "sad slouching dog" anymore. She's not developing at all! The most…

I LOLed at this comment! To summarize, Korean producers are now leaning toward dishing out brain-rot-like content…
Happy to know I brought you a chuckle. :)

Up to about a year ago, I felt Korea was putting out a lot more good than bad BL stuff, but since then, not so much. I see LITBC as a gay-themed drama rather than a BL for a host of reasons, and also for a host of reasons, I didn't much care for it. I know it is popular though, and that I am in the minority on that. Which is fine.

I had to look up LFLS to remind myself which show that was, and naturally, I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaated it. That "trapped inside a virtual game" gimmick...gag me. Dropped it and rated it 1/10. lol So, naturally, the MDL rating is a freaking 8.7. As I alluded to above, MDL and I rarely agree on ratings. Lots of Little Girls here up-rate for cotton candy cuteness and down-rate if a character "sexually assaults" another character by looking at them with too much thirst.

Nonetheless, I am always up for suggestions and keep an open mind. I still check out an occasional Thai show, if I hear/read good buzz. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I end up dropping. All my fave Thai shows are the old classics. "Moonlight Chicken" was good, and the film, "The Paradise of Thorns," is excellent. Please feel free to recommend.

Just like the fujoshi says at the end: "Bravo!"

This is one of my favorite gay shorts. It shows how it's done with a meager budget: good actors, direction, and lots of heart; heart being the missing ingredient in many other, much pricier BL series and shorts.

Plus, the fujoshi is adorable in her adoration of gay boys in love.

Bravo again.

Second watch tonight.
Perhaps one more before I move my rating to a 10/10.

Layers upon layers upon layers...Bravo!

Terrible, brainless, rainbows-and-Teddy-bears schlock, such as one expects out of Thailand, not Korea.

I'm guessing that Korean producers see the crap Thai BLs making a fortune and figure why bother with time, expense, thought, and effort to make something of quality that will go right over MDLer heads, when they can make junk like this with their eyes closed and score big.

Thus, now we have TOOKs (Turds Out Of Korea) to float alongside the torrent of TOOTs (Turds Out Of Thailand) flushed our way every month. Depressing.

Dropped

"Think" says the person who watches shows at double speed and "thinks" they are in a position to critique them.

Newsflash: You are missing half the show.

I won't waste time debating anything about a movie or drama with a 2x viewer. What a joke.

"This rather should be named "LOVESTORY OF TWO CHEATERS" those who are giving high ratings to this are weird af .."

Despite asserting that only weirdos are rating this highly and being extremely disturbed by all the infidelity, you watched it from beginning to end. ...Right. I submit that you liked the show, despite your faux outrage.

Consider that it is entirely OK, and you don't have to feel guilty for enjoying a show featuring character behaviors you disapprove of. I've watched lots of murder mysteries and haven't killed anyone yet.

Relax.

I thought the story was decent until the unapologetic cheating. Just break up if you want someone else ffs
The "unapologetic cheating" starts about 15 minutes in. What part of the story did you find "decent" in the previous 14 minutes?

Tolerable.
Acting/directing/pacing are off and tons of tropes/cliches, but the blue grading is pretty.

Plot has great potential. I dig flawed characters and bad behavior, but only when it's portrayed well, which this isn't.

5/10

Because if they weren't shady, lying, cheating boys who bury their heads in the sand, there would be no story.…
Gosh, you seem a tad...surly. I touched a nerve..?

Don't know and don't care what you mean by "liking" a comment.
You asked a question and I answered it.
If you don't like an answer in reply to a question you posed, SCROLL PAST IT!

What's wrong with dicks? I rather like them.

Oh, and I repeat: If you don't like the characters and their behavior, don't watch. I have thoughts about why you DO watch, though.
