When you get some time, consider taking a look at the mental/emotional/artistic contortions you're putting yourself through to excuse/explain the retro-homophobic storytelling style of this series.
You're clearly delusional.Join your fellow, gay-baited delulu brethren below.Johwan is attractive? You're into…
I'm plenty calm, just disgusted and annoyed by this series and what its style of storytelling promotes.
I don't know that you "need" to know this, but yes, but Ok Tae Yeon, who plays Johan in this mess, who is a Korean Kpop idol (Which is likely a huge part of why the gay was excised from this show. Korean idols do NOT do openly gay characters in gay productions. They are notorious for playing kinda-sorta-wink-wink-nod-nod gay-adjacent characters who strangely, never express their character's natural sexuality, leaving the shows they star in sterile and homophobic.), has had half his nose removed.
It's (almost) always easy to spot bad Korean nose jobs (Korea has the highest per-capita rate of plastic surgery in the entire world.). It's as though they all go to the same Gangnam District alleyway plastic surgeon. The dead giveaway is the ski-slope-like downward, inward curve of the nose's bridge, which OTY has in spades. It is massively obvious when he turns to profile.
The other giveaway, which is more subtle, is that after the nose jobs, these idols' faces look...off, to a discerning eye. I think I spot it easily because I am a portraiture artist who has always been fascinated by the human face. After nose jobs, MOST people, but not those who have extremely subtle and well-done surgery, their faces appear too large overall for their, new, hacked-off nose.
We all have the same basic features: forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, yet these FIVE features show up in 7 billion distinctive arrangements/proportions around the world, to the point that almost no one looks exactly like anyone else. That fascinates me. How is it possible? :)
Well, Koreans don't like that. Even the ones who are naturally attractive, like OTY, think they need to tinker with their faces, especially after they became famous. So many Korean celebs look like siblings/cousins, it is scary.
I believe he also had double-eyelid surgery, the saddest plastic surgery in Asia. I say that because it's intent is to eliminate the epicanthic fold and single-eyelid that most but not all Asians are born with. It leaves the patient with a Western, "double-eyelid" crease above the eye. That's the goal: They want to look more Caucasian.
What's really sad, but hilarious, is that even after the eyelid surgery and nose jobs, these neurotic plastic surgery addicts STILL look Asian, but now, they look like Asians who have had plastic surgery. lol
But I digress. That nose job bugged me every time OYT turned profile in SM.
Episode 2: Wow, I can't believe I'm totally into a C-BL.
The dubbing is absurd, of course, but the actors are overcoming it with their performances. I'm not at all used to C-dramas, as I avoid them like the plague, so other cheesy aspects leap out at me. However, the great acting of the MC is making all that bearable, so far.
That is one of the most beautiful love scenes I've seen in a BL.
It must suck to be a Chinese actor, putting your heart and soul into portraying a character, only to have some random voice actor compromise your work with artificial-sounding dubbing. :(
Episode 1: Whoa...that smooch caught me by surprise. I guess this really isn't an old-fashioned Chinese censored bromance! :)
The Chinese dubbing usually puts me off to the point that I drop shows just because of that, but for some reason, it's not bothering me too much here. The goofy/silly dubbing fits the goofy vibe of the overall show, so it's OK.
I can't believe you just wrote that the masterful, and clearly gay af, film "Night Flight" is a bromance,…
Night Flight is my #1 fave gay-themed flick, which is why I lost my shit. Sorry. :P
My take is that the crush is bi but identifying straight, and the love of the gay character gradually brings him over to the gay side of his bi side. :) Honestly, I'm self-aware enough to call BS on myself if I thought I was being delusional. But, there is no way I can watch the bi guy's balls-out decimation of the gang of rapists in that epic fight scene, and then his tearful pleading for the gay guy to wait for him while he's in jail in the hospital scene, without concluding that he is indeed in love with the gay guy.
Which does not mean he's not still bi. It means he has found his love...on the gay side of bi.
Don't you love the continuum of sexual identity? :D
Who's gay? Oh, Arata, who disappeared after attempting suicide...and Johan (supposedly), who comes down with a terminal disease and disappears, as all decent, gay, terminally ill characters should do...
lol the coping in some of these comments is making me laugh, is a bromance now being called queer love LMAOOO.…
Well put. I can't believe NF released this in its final form. NF has hardcore gay shit all over its platform. Why put out this 1950s gays-in-the-shadows BS?
I might rewatch it. I think there's a recurrent theme here that i find in the director's other work and i struggle…
I can't believe you just wrote that the masterful, and clearly gay af, film "Night Flight" is a bromance, and then said it was a gay movie. What does that mean?

You didn't notice Ok Taec Yeon's ski-slope nose job?
It's obvious in profile.
So, I thought maybe you were his surgeon, here to drum up more business, even though your work is shoddy and readily apparent.
Quite an accurate thing to say, actually.
Such direct comments are only considered "rude" by fangirls.
I'm not one of them, so I say what I want.

Here's the best before/after photo of OTY's nose job I could find. Notice the slimming of the bridge. The ski slope effect doesn't show until he's in profile.
