They're all DOCTORS! They are purely and shamelessly trying to score a big "win" by taking down a popular and well-known actor.

He needs to come to the USA for rehab and then never return to the ass-backward society of Korea.

I agree, but you forgot the Propofol and sleeping pills charges, which are the main deal here.

BULLSHIT. THAT IS A LIE. This is exactly how "netizens" such as yourself spread false rumors and slander celebrities, without a clue as to what they're talking about. Yoo has NOT been charged with distributing Propofol or sleeping pills, for god's sake.

He is charged with "distributing" MARIJUANA WHILE IN THE UNITED STATES to friends who smoked up with him. They also charged him with encouraging his friends to smoke, as if they have no brains of their own.

Please educate yourself before spreading malicious BS that can drive people to suicide, such as we saw with LSK just seven months ago.

These prosecutors are scum-licking zealots. This isn't about their concern for the country and Yoo as a role model; this is about individuals in the justice system slobbering to make a very public impact and move up the ladder via Yoo's persecution and over-the-top torture during the last 18 months.

This is a repeat of the horror we saw leading up to Lee Sun Kyun's suicide just seven months ago, and it's clear these bastards aren't the least bit bothered by what took place last December.

Fuck them.

Well said. I've been holding my breath regarding Yoo and suicide since the absurdly overblown "investigation"/media circus began last year. They have been torturing him for 18 months now. I hope he has good, loving people around him.

Actually, I hope he flees that fucked-up country and comes the Hollywood. He'd be a superstar here. I say that with pain, as ALL my favorite movies and many of my fave BLs are Korean. But the poisonous, Psycho Korean Celeb/Fan/Netizen Torture and Suicide Machine must be fed regularly. They took out Lee Sun Kyun just seven months ago over similar insanity.

I fucking hate these cops and prosecutors. This is all performance art and public relations for them. No doubt people are hoping to advance their careers in the "legal" system by crucifying Yoo.

Yoo, RUN! Come to America! We love you!

I've seen it. See comment above. She is on methadone for 14 episodes, then wakes up for the last two.

Sorry, I can't find it either.

So am I.

Could you please point out where in my profile I "describe" myself? Thanks, I'll wait.

I just replied to you on another page. All considered, you are far more arrogant than is warranted by the quality of your comments.

Could you point out where I wrote that "everyone has to agree with me?" Thanks, I'll wait. As far as your "fascist world" comment as it relates to a discussion of BL, please...get over yourself. Perhaps you're too young to understand what that means.

I guarantee you I am far older than you can imagine ever being. And then some.

It doesn't matter if you say "I'm not comparing" if you then proceed to compare.

I'm with those who found the stairwell kiss to be artificial and stiff. Yes, the characters would be apprehensive about being observed, but there was no one around. It is US, the audience, from whom this alleged lip-lock was hidden. And the only reason for that is latent homophobia in the Jbl industry.

It took me back to those horrid pieces of 2016 Thai garbage, Sotus and Sotus S, in which entire seasons were spent leading up to a smooch, but when it finally happened the actors turned into mannequins and it was painfully obvious their mouths were not in contact. On top of that, cameras began swirling to and fro around them just to make certain we didn't accidentally see one cell from each lip touching each other.

First time I saw that I thought I was having a seizure or something; it was so unbelievably stupid. In this show, I found it disappointing that the shadow of Sotus smooches showed up in a Jbl in 2024. I love the show otherwise, but the BS kiss was a jolt.

In the stairwell scene, when Teichi was yelling up at Kohei, tears welling in his eyes, I shed a few myself. They are both excellent actors.

Why would a clearly visible kiss un-relax you or be "overly obvious?" People kiss IRL a zillion times a day. But somehow we're expected to accept such ridiculous antics in BLs.

Men have been sticking their tongues down each others' throats in Korean films for almost 20 years now. Yes, this is a BL, but still...
Korea is a bizarre country in a cultural sense. You have underage kpoppers oozing sex on stage in skimpy outfits while singing and dancing, but if one of them dares to date another human, it's a huge "scandal."
Most of the male idols are clearly gay and often act very gay on stage, but heads would explode if one of them actually came out.
Recreational drugs common in other countries-marijuana included-are treated as equal to Heroin; meanwhile, getting shit-faced on Soju and puking in gutters almost every night after work is considered part of doing business (Korea has the highest rate of alcoholism among developed nations).
Prostitution is considered taboo and evil publicly, but Korea has a thriving sex industry and a "Hostess" bar every five doors in entertainment districts.
Mental illness and mental health are taboo topics of discussion. Meanwhile, Korea has the highest rate of SUICIDE among developed nations.
Korea also has the highest rate of tobacco use/smoking among developed nations.

Becoming a celebrity there is taking your life in your hands. Should you make one mistake or even act remotely human you will be crucified relentlessly online and in the press, which is why so many Korean celebs kill themselves.

ALL of my favorite movies and many of my favorite BLs are Korean, which is why all of this bothers me so much. I sometimes feel I am contributing to the madness by watching their films and BLs.

Cherry Magic was ridiculous with the fake or no kissing BS. That and the fact that the "cherry" was never actually indicated as having been "popped" was extremely annoying. I read that the older lead had it in his contract that he would not be shown kissing. In which case the director should have said. "next!"

hmmm...mannequin kisses like that usually annoy tf out of me, but at least I found the head positions here to be believable. It's always retarded when the camera cuts from a kiss like that, as if it's 2016 again and I'm flashing back to the absurdly fake kisses in SOTUS. Maybe I missed it, but their heads looked believably positioned. I'm hoping for tongue swallowing later on.

Also, it's a very good sign that BL audiences are no longer putting up with this crap. Used to be, everyone was just happy to see a couple gay guys on screen.

There is tremendous chemistry between the leads here and the acting is feature film-worthy. I'm curious as to what BLs are at the top of your list?

I'm curious, if you don't mind: What is your favorite BL, if you have one?
