Her PERSONAL thoughts are made apparent by the fact that she disappeared Yoo Ah In from an article about a film in which he is one of the five leads.
She may as well have written, "I think Yoo Ah In is unworthy of having his name mentioned, because he was charged, tried, and convicted of a crime. It does not matter that he has been punished and released from jail. We should pretend he does not exist as continued punishment, and as a means of wiping his existence from the culture."
Lily Alice isn't honest enough to write the above statement. Instead, she simply removed Yoo from the mention. It is weird and Orwellian of her to do so.

So what?

The appeal has zero relevance to Yoo's name being deliberately excluded from an article about a movie in which he is one of the five leads.
Should Yoo be re-tried, should he go back to jail; neither possibility changes the fact that he is one of the leads in the film. The article is about the film. Pretending Yoo doesn't exist because of outside issues is a great example of what is so twisted about Korean entertainment media. At the least, she should have mentioned Yoo along with the other leads, then followed that up with the latest status of the case; the prosecutor's appeal (which is insane in itself, of course. Korean prosecutors never know when to let go).
Is Lily Alice a mind-control censor, controlling and editing what we are allowed to know, or is she an entertainment writer who deals with facts? She can't be both.

Your question seems to indicate you agree with Lily Alice on this issue of disappearing entertainers from the culture. If so, you are a Knetz. You are part of the problem.

"...maybe you have a problem that they are not showing their relationship..."
lol Yes, it is sort of a problem when a Boys Love show does not show any, you know, "boys love..." But maybe that's just me.

We are on entirely different wavelengths regarding BL, so no point in a discussion.

Enjoy the show. :)

This flick is bizarre. More so with each watch.
I suppose when I come back for the third time, I'll have to drop my rating another star or two.

6/10

A lot of potential here, all of it ruined by the vertical aspect and short-episode format.
I can't get used to that narrow, vertical frame; I feel like I'm missing 2/3 of whatever should be in the shot.
That said, the actors were quite good.
The class president and his dimples had me all wet.

lol
Awful, gum-munching kisses are far better than dead fish kisses any day.
I had the same sort of thought when they first went at it, though...I was like wtf is happening? They were sort of chewing away rhythmically, with no build-up at all; just BOOM! tongues down stomachs.

The last one seemed an improvement though.

Yup

Idk, man, but words and how we use them have meanings.
Just a thought, man, bye.

Pornography is banned in about 37 countries.
No country has banned the words "porn," "pornography," or "pornographic."
How would they write laws against pornography without using the words? lol
MDL has not banned those words either. You can rest easy.
Why do you keep hiding your replies as spoilers?

Ah, so you're a bigot. That's nice.

I'm gay. I've watched straight "stuff" all my life. Still do.

I see it here all the time. Nobody gets banned for writing "porn." The word is not an obscenity or curse word; it's a noun.

Provided me with a couple boners.

Why did you not spell out s-e-x?

It was bad soft porn.
Why do you spell porn as "gorn?"

U did.

Yeah, I don't get it either.
I thought perhaps they were all high when they made it, but unless they stayed high while editing and uploading it too, none of it makes sense.
Oh, but none of it makes sense anyway.
Quite odd.

They look nice naked.

5/10 All points for partial nudity, smooching, and talk of "cumming inside." :D

Brilliant. :D
One of the most original and delightful shorts I've seen.

Bravo!

This is not a BL.
Remember that "boys love" thing that is kind of right there in the genre's name, "Boys Love?"
There is none of that here.

There ARE young, straight-passing actors hoping to use BL as a step to bigger things, by playing (supposedly) gay characters as buddies with none of that yucky, physical affection-type stuff that only real homos do, so as not to jeopardize imagined future career prospects in mainstream shows.
And of course, there ARE legions of standards-free audience members eager to lap up whatever is placed in front of them in a slop dish labeled "BL." Many of them are in this thread below.

Over the last 18 months or so, there has been a regression in the quality of shows labeled "BL" coming out of Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. We seem to be going backward in tone, story, acting, directing, everything. I've no idea why, but this is the case.

Sad.
Fight For You is terrible in nearly every way it is possible to be terrible.
I can see handsome young men in many places other than in bad, fake BLs.

Dropped.

"I'm not into "BL" but, even though the straight actors rightfully don't portray immorality on screen, I'm not going to sit through gaymance - no matter how fake."

So, am I understanding this correctly in that you are a hard-core homo-hater? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

If I'm not wrong, what are you doing here in the first place?

So Ji Sub is a talented actor. I'm not a huge fan of action flicks, but I'll watch anything he's in.

That said, it seems when it comes to films he is pigeon-holed as an action star, and that's too bad. He has a lot more than that to offer. Since with few exceptions I am not a drama-watcher, the action films are about all I get to see him in.

Oh well...fighting.
