That was one of the most affecting love/sex scenes I have seen in a BL. It made me both emotional AND horny. These two are beautiful together; increasingly so with every episode. The side couple thing keeps getting better too. So hot/cute/pouty/bossy. :D "It'd be yours." hahahahahahahahhaha...well, now we know who topped whom.
It is remarkable how this show has gotten better and better as it runs. I almost dropped it somewhere around eps. 2/3, but wow, I'm glad I kept watching. Sean's smartass but cute vibe and JSP's gentle giant acts had me hooked already then; i just didn't know it yet.
The acting of the two leads has improved from the first, too. I'm proud of both actors for their full-on investment in their roles. Real kisses, real emotion, no holding back with worries about idol reputations, etc. This was NOT made for mainland China. :)
I'm a bit bummed to see the ancient "If you really love him, you will destroy him." trope on its way for episode 12. So utterly unoriginal. There are countless other ways to introduce a separation crisis that wouldn't fall back on this tired cliche, if only writers were allowed to write one. If this is based on some source material that includes such a trope, I'll say again: adaptations do not require that books be reproduced word-for-word or trope-for-trope in the new medium. Ridiculous.
But I nit-pick. I will certainly be watching next week.
I didn't realise people didn't get that they were dating. It was so glaringly obvious. That punch somewhere in…
Numerous studies have shown teen males to be far hornier than teen females. If you're too lazy to google, I'm not doing it for you. I did NOT say teen girls aren't horny at all, which is what you imply.
I never said being horny makes young men "animals." I never said anyone has to have "...sex with your lover every second of every day..." I never said there is NOT more to life than sex.
Go make up s**t to respond to and bother someone else.
Great movie! Sword fights are some of the best I've seen. Plot's exciting and intriguing. Great cast. This may be the best thing I've seen Kang Dong Won do in a while.
Wow, Yoo Hae Jin, who I think of as a second lead/character actor, OWNS this flick. Everyone else is great too. Spectacular FX/cinematography/acting/direction/production as well. It gets a bit overly rah-rah-Korea! at times but not too often, and given the history of Japan and Korea, I don't blame the Koreans for hating on the Japs now and then.
Not a lot of war movie cliches. Also, I was intrigued that it is set around 1919 during the Japanese occupation and involves Jap forces against Korean independence fighters, something I don't think I've seen a film about before.
Yeah, you see this is the problem with SK, and increasingly in the U.S. as well: This old actor from squid game was convicted of fucking "hugging some broad inappropriately," "holding her hand," and making sexual comments" to her. And for that he got an 8-month suspended sentence and his career destroyed as if he did anything out of the ordinary. Here's the thing, I don't care about such bogus, absurd, insanely over-the-top definitions of "sexual abuse," and no one's reputation or career should be destroyed over them.
Being wrecked even at the gentleman's age, for such silly reasons, is what Korea does best. As a result, LOTS of Korean celebs kill themselves. This is why TOP attempted suicide. People like you are obsessed, hateful, and vicious and WILL NOT let go of these things, even after people have been punished and released. You continue to trash them online until they kill themselves.
The anniversary of Lee Sun Kyun's suicide is in two days. Will you be celebrating? I'd guess you did your part to bring that about as well. A**hole.
As for one of these people you're calling a rapist even though they weren't charged, I can't find anything online about that, which is how big a deal that is. You weren't there, you don't know. A court said whatever, but you can't let it go.
No more wasted google time for your BS, loser suicide-enabler. F**k off.
Always nice to see these two each week, even if the "I like you so in order not to hurt you, I'm going to leave and torture you instead, and then come back but not tell you" trope has shown itself in an otherwise very good BL.
Meh...can't deal with this. The FL comes off as mousey in every role I've seen her in. So here, where she's supposedly some kind of man-magnet, it feels ridiculous. Too bad, because I like the ML and supporting actor Emoto Tasuku but they're not enough to overcome the weakness of the FL in this part. Fun to see Tasukh with grownup hair. He looks SO much better.
It's as simple as this: I cannot abide a movie in which all the Russians are played by American actors speaking American English. I'm completely out of the film...
Why do you ignore other people's culture? It is clearly not minuscule for them, so it's pretty insensible on your…
Pretty presumptuous of you, Jordan. I AM educated, in detail, about the Burning Sun "scandal" (as Korean trash media, and you, like to label these incidents to boost views and clicks), likely far more so than you. That's how I know what Seungri ACTUALLY was charged with and convicted of, as opposed to what morons on the Internet like to pretend to believe he was charged with and convicted of when they go on their self-righteous, moralistic rants.

"...text interpretation..." lol
Own your opinions or stop posting them. I AM smart and well-informed. At least you inferred that much correctly. Go help drive some more K-celebs to suicide and leave me alone.

You are deeply unself-aware. I don't waste my time having discussions with people who don't recognize the implications of their own BS, or alternatively, are simply liars.
1. Why didn't Adik immediately tell on himself to the authorities to spare Abang when he discovered he had returned…
I am so happy you loved this film, Maggi. Thanks for your insights here. I SO agree with you about cops, at least 1/3 of whom I suspect to be deeply corrupt and amoral. I've not only read a hundred such stories, but you might recall my horrendous experience on Long Island two and a half years ago. If not, mention that and I'll remind you.
LOTS of cops are ex-military, authoritarian types who love to throw their weight around and don't give a shit about little things like justice and ethics. Often, they don't even know the laws they are tasked to enforce. It's disgusting and scary.

Yup, I just googled this and read up on it. I remember vaguely reading something about this, but I didn't become an avid consumer of Korean films and a bit of its music until four and a half years ago, so T.O.P.'s suicide attempt was before that.
And it's only been in the last year or so that I became aware of Big Bang's music and influence. I had seen ONE BB music video, which is almost entirely rap, and found them ridiculous. I had no idea that while rap is a significant element of BB's ouvre, actual singing is more prevalent in their work as a whole. So I began checking out other BB mvs and quickly became a fan.
Now, the reason I went back and gave BB's work another shot was that I saw TOP in the film "commitment" and was duly blown away by his acting performance. Ever since, I've been bitching and moaning around here about what became of TOP's acting, as I see him as a major talent. Now I know: Korea decided he had to be crucified over smoking weed.
Sometimes I feel guilty for consuming Korean content. I feel i'm contributing to it's insane Celebrity Suicide Machine, grinding out victim after victim. My first experience with that came after I found SHINee on youtube four and a half years ago. I quickly became a big Jonghyun fan, then discovered two weeks later he'd been dead by suicide for two years. If I told you how profoundly that effected me, you would not believe me.
That is when I began to learn of Korea's booze and suicide problems. Meanwhile, it's tying itself in knots over marijuana. Good god.

Love how transgressive and un-PC this show is. Also young men portrayed as they are in real life, horny 24/7.
Good for a few laughs.

Won't keep me from watching episode 9 though.
The FL comes off as mousey in every role I've seen her in. So here, where she's supposedly some kind of man-magnet, it feels ridiculous.

Kim Young Min plays devious assholes so very well...that crooked smile that's always a bit of a sneer. Plus, he's handsome af. I'm a big fan.
9/10 (MDL) ratings are SO messed up.)
Sounds like you're one of those ranters.
