Wow. You are about as perceptive as a potato.

What makes you think I'm "hyped up," other than the fact I disagree with you? lol Direct your concern to the idiotic commenter who thinks I'm a fan of real-life rape and stalking. You Little Girls are all the same.


I have been watching BLs for over 4 years now, and have watched just about every one in existence. When I found BL all I watched was the older Thai ones because they were available in all episodes and many of them are great. But Thailand hasn't put out a decent BL since Moonlight Chicken two years ago and everything else out of that ridiculous BL factory has been crap.
I prefer Korean, Japanese, and Taiwanese BLs far above Thai, which are juvenile and generally stupid, like this show. All three countries, especially JP, put out the occasional turd.

"I'll keep watching for the beauty and hotness that is Takara." What part of this did you not understand? If you want someone to drop the show, do it yourself.

I see.

Bravo!
"If you're over a certain age and have any standards whatsoever for the media you consume, you cannot trust 99.9% of the reviews on this site." lol
Bingo!
This is a freaking weird site. Up is down and vice versa when it comes to ratings and reviews. Also, it's populated by lots of Western prudes and 12-year-old SJWs; in fact I read that this site's membership is 2/3 Western females, And therein lies the problem.

The fact that you think I "glamorized" suicide in my OP reveals you as the moron I thought you were. You don't know what an "ad hominem" is so stop trying to sound intelligent by using the term. It just makes you sound even dumber than you are.

Freaky, but good and beautifully made with lots of creative, stylistic choices that worked for me, if not a lot of other people.

9/10

And yet you cared enough to reply. I'll keep watching for the hotness and beauty of Iwase Yoji as Takara, thanks.

Oh look, a member of the Psycho Korean Celeb/Fan/Netizen Suicide Machine doing its best to put yet another brilliantly talented actor in the ground much too soon! After all, it's been seven months since Lee Sun Kyun took his life; you're probably hungry for another kill.

Oh, and f**k yourself.

I think the hilarious, unique high concept and the great acting of the ML carried the first season and part of the second. But yeah....this is lame.

Oh look, another brainless, ten-year-old MDLer. How surprising.

Eh...I was going to answer in some depth, but I don't give a s**t what you think anyway, so why bother? You are a typical MDLer LG who has trouble distinguishing between live-action story-telling and real life. Which is your problem, not mine. Members like you are what's wrong with this place.

Bravo, Maggi! As always, you laid it all out clearly and concisely. I don't like this show as much as you do, but continue watching for Takara's hotness and beauty. The mentally handicapped Taishin has worked my last nerve.

hahaha...only on MDL would someone recommend watching a show at double speed to make it bearable. lol Why wouldn't you just stop watching something that lame?

Get out of here with your "queer cinema" BS. There are LOTS of BLs with intriguing and non-retarded characters and plots. Me, I keep watching this to look at Takara. If I want to bitch about how lame the rest of the show is, I'll do that too.

"minor," lol He acts like he's 12. That's the problem. "stop watching then" lol. Lamest defense ever for a show.

After episode 4:
Increasingly has the feeling of an ABC After-School Special for intellectually handicapped teens.
I don't buy for a second that the character Takara would be attracted to the character Taishin.
Also don't buy this cutesy "Taishin-trying-to-figure-out-what-he's-feeling conceit, which so many lame BLs employ. A guy that age has a sex drive and presumably, a brain. He already knows he is attracted to Takara. This is where the intellectual handicap part of the plot kicks in.

Increasingly, I'm seeing Taishin as a mildly attractive, young Lesbian.

There is zero chemistry between the MC. At most, it feels like an older/younger brother thing.

The bias/stan subplot was super childish and lame. However, it made me realize that a truly twisted, obsessive bias/stan/stalker kind of subplot would work great as a BL subplot or even the primary plot. I mean dark and psycho to the point of kidnapping...would be awesome. It should probably be in a Kbl though; that's where the most intense/psycho kpop/actor stalking goes on. The stalker could start rumors about the idol and drive him to suicide, which happens about once a week in Korea anyway.

I'll keep watching for the beauty and hotness that is Takara.

hahaha...yes, it's undoubtedly true that you are far more perceptive than I and this film is simply far beyond my ability to comprehend it. Not.

lol

Interesting. I dislike AALCC immensely but Bleak Night is one of my favorites. It's all in the differences in HOW the stories are told. To me, AALCC is pretentious and impressed with its own artsiness, while BN tells an intense, dark story but is not obnoxiously artsy about it. There are some time-flips, but they're handled in a comprehensible way. Not so with AALCC.

How can something be both "comforting" AND "traumatizing?" Aren't those opposite reactions?

Not everyone. I find it pretentious and dull.
