how could you Rating this movie and it's still hasn't released yet?? first you watch it then tell us your think…
Not on MDL. Here, thought-police down-rate shows they claim deceived them into believing it was a BL. Of course, they haven't seen it yet, so how would they know?
Bigger question is why does MDL allow rating of a show that hasn't even been released yet?
Wow! You really laid your cards on the table. I appreciate and respect your candor. Personally I have viewed over…
My four-show list refers specifically, and only, to RECENT BLs that "started strong and went to shit." Of course, there are hundreds of BLs that are shit from start to finish, but they neither started strong and went to shit, nor aired in the last few weeks.
No, people, Do Hoe does not need therapy. He needs a good beating, followed by institutionalization in a facility focused on teaching grown men not to be douche bags.
Oh look! Another BL in which MCs make huge, life-altering choices based on absolutely ridiculous assumptions resulting from entirely unbelievable circumstances. Oh look! Another BL in which MCs make no attempt to contact each other for countless years, then run into each other and solve everything in three minutes, followed by a kiss. Oh look! Another BL in which MCs don't age even a little bit over more than a decade. Oh look! Another BL in which MCs are psycho/angry/unbalanced for the flimsiest of reasons. Oh look! The first BL I've seen in which a tiny piece of paper remained neatly folded under the edge of a desk leg for 12 F**KING YEARS. (Though similar miracles are legion in BL World.) Oh look! Another BL in which multiple hot, smart men chase after an unattractive, abusive, mentally-ill protagonist. Oh look! Another BL in which...on and on, blah blah blah...
I do not accept that my standards need to be lowered for BLs because well, they're BLs. I have seen enough well-written BLs to know that the genre does not require bad/lazy/improbable/implausible writing/plotting to qualify for the BL label. So why does this phenomenon repeat itself over and over, even in high-quality shows like this with high production values?
I do not know the answer, but I have questions: Do the producers/directors/writers get lazy because they look down on their audience and figure if people keep watching crap out of Thailand, they'll watch anything, so why bother? Do the same people get off on insulting their core audience? Does the BL industry, even outside of Thailand, attract a less talented, creative, and hard-working pool of industry professionals with lower standards than their counterparts in the mainstream?
Hell, I don't know, but I do know this is the fourth recent, non-Thai BL to start strong and go to shit with the problems mentioned above: I Hear the Sunspot Happy of the End Love In the Big City Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo
If nothing else, at least this disappointing series has exposed me to the talents and good looks of Lee Seon, who has been the bright spot in this otherwise increasingly dreary mess.
Bloated, pretentious, pile of over-wrought, badly-written crap.
oooh look! Countless, on-the-nose allusions to the passion of the Christ. That's never been done before! Any film whose plot takes place in Asia, that has all its Asian characters speaking in stilted English, even to each other without an American in sight, is doomed from the start. Apparently, Josh Hartnett was too lazy to learn Cantonese so they made all the Asian actors speak English...badly.
Masturbatory delusions of grandeur from the director. Just ponderous and awful. I kept watching out of fascination with how much money had been wasted and how many absurdities there were in the writing.
Hartnett's acting is flat as usual, and the hot chick who lays around whimpering, when she's not servicing various men, is one of the worst actors I've seen.
2/10 The two stars are for Hartnett's shirtless scene. LBH's over-muscled body is cut to the point of being off-putting. Any man with that kind of body spends little time outside their home gym, and we never saw LBH lift anything heavier than a gun.
Why? So the lead can repeat the behaviors he repeated with FIVE men here another FIVE times to make TEN? Why?
I will do a quick, bullet-point type list. I have explained this countless times here already, so I'm not up for a detailed analyses. Especially since this was so clear and obvious. Here is the pattern of relationship behaviors our hero repeated five times:
Fall in instant, fabulous, breathless love at first sight; also, the other party falls in ecstatic, star-bursting love with the MC. Date/f**k/hang out in glorious, enchanting, perfect happiness. Move in together after a very brief period. Things go well for a brief period. MC begins to question his feelings for the other party. MC becomes a grouchy, irritable bitch who snarls at his partner at the slightest perceived slight, such as "open the windows! I told you not to do laundry in here!" MC becomes increasingly disenchanted with the relationship. MC dumps partner during a vicious argument, of leaves a note and sneaks out in the middle of the night. Partner is devastated because the MC is supposedly not only fabulously handsome (which he's not) and possessed of the most attractive personality known to humans (he is nearly the opposite of that), that they literally grovel at his feet and offer to change into someone else entirely to suit his whims. MC tells them to fuck off and walks away. MC becomes severely, clinically depressed. MC's little friend group shows up to see him and he is instantly cured of his clinical depression. MC goes out drinking with his buddies, gets wasted, and BOOM! meets his next victim and we're back to the instant, spontaneous falling in love at first sight thing. Rinse and repeat.
Of course, the details of this cycle vary from victim to victim, and there are variations, but overall the same pattern repeated itself four or five times. Worst of all, the MC never learns anything from the cycle, never changes or grows, and remains the same in word and deed from start to finish of this series. I would have been happy to see him get MORE vicious in how he treats people; at least that would be change and would be interesting, but no, we get nada/nothing/zero in the way of character change one way or the other.
The cycle repeated five times and then the show was over.
Try watching something well-written and plotted, that isn't repetitious and dull.
lol Oh gosh, brainless, rando fangirl on MDL says "no body rlly cares about u..." Wait while I kill myself, OK?
As always, comments from your type devolve into personal insults, cause that's what you've got.
OMG...MY COMMENTS HAVE NO LIKES!!!! Please, wait while I kill myself a second time, OK?
To summarize your comment: Your life sucks! You are insignificant! You are SO insignificant! Nobody in the entire world cares about you! Your comments have no likes! I hope your life is shitty! Oh, your life is already shitty!
Meanwhile, you aren't able to coherently argue a case for how LITBC is a great show. All you've got is insults for those who disagree with you. Speaks for itself, fetus.
I know that when I block an MDLer, all their comments disappear from my view along with any of my replies to their comments. But do those comments and replies remain visible to everyone else? Just curious...
And what do you mean by gay stereotypes ... ? You know that more than the writer who actually wrote the story…
Much like that other dumbass bothering me with stupid replies like this, you are another fetus that is nearing the point of being aborted. One more reply and you're down the toilet...let me know.
And what do you mean by gay stereotypes ... ? You know that more than the writer who actually wrote the story…
lol Your dissing of FF and LLC speaks volumes, child. No more need be said. I don't gaf what you and other mindless trend-followers find appealing, I care what I find appealing.
And what do you mean by gay stereotypes ... ? You know that more than the writer who actually wrote the story…
This comment is incoherent and sloppily written to the point of pathetic. "Jack and Joker," lol. Why am I not surprised that's the taste level from which you're coming at this? Go watch it.
the character that tried to rape someone was your favourite?
Looks like YOU are the one who so desperately wants the last word, fetus. The only person here I'd feel sympathy for is you, given your lack of brain cells.
the character that tried to rape someone was your favourite?
"whatever you say, hag..." The typical last gasp of the defeated.
The fact that you're a nasty little piece of s**t, despite your brave defense of imaginary rape victims, has made itself clear, as it always does with your type, one way or the other.
Supporting a suppressive regime by watching. You may have a point there. My dilemma is that it's also supporting…
Once again, I refuse to watch shit out of China. I don't even watch straight shit out of China because of the gay ban. Why should I support anything out of there?
Yes, my tiny, little boycott makes ZERO difference as long as all the rest of you are willing to watch whatever manages to slip out. I can accept that. I just won't take part in it. F**k China.
the character that tried to rape someone was your favourite?
Oh dear, you SEE me. Whatever shall I do? How dare someone think and write in a way "contrary" to the usual, prevailing MDL idiocy of the LGs? I've achieved completion three times during our back-and-forth, so thank you for that.
