holy crap i have to be the stupidest person alive lmao. when I saw the title was bed friend i thought that the bl would be about how this guy finds a bed that could like turn into a person and he'd like fall in love with it or something lmao. i know it sounds stupid, but it made so much sense in my head at the time.
Why are people so mad that he said this might be the last time he plays a gay character? firstly it's his choice and secondly, I don't think you realize how much shit he's gone through to play those characters. Eui Soo got a lot of death threats from Korean citizens simply because he's played a gay character more than once. he even said that people were calling him abnormal and even people who he thought were his friends started to distance themselves from him. LGBTQ+ is still taboo is a lot of Asian countries and just the fact that he played a gay character it an achievement in itself. And honestly you can't expect him to play the same character over and over again, of course he's going to try and branch out and expand his acting skills. Not to mention he said it MIGHT be the last time he plays a gay character, which implies he's uncertain. So he may play in a BL again but who knows, and even if he doesn't that's fine too. It's his choice and we need to respect that.
It really depends on which Male lead you're rooting for. There's MAJOR second lead syndrome here and personally I didn't like this drama simply because it wasn't that good. Once again, it really depends on you and your taste but I didn't really like it. Though it should be noted I was only here for Lee Sung Kyung :)
Lmao this was my first ever k-drama and oh my god, Jun Ji Hyun how did it feel carrying the whole show on your back? like honestly her acting is amazing!
Honestly I'm a bit disappointed but not surprised. Series where they have multiple couples isn't something I personally am interested in but I decided to watch this mainly for Boun and Prem and Boom and Peak. Ep 1 was actually pretty good and I thought that maybe it wouldn't be so bad but I was wrong. Most of the stories were too complicated to fit into one episode, some were just a mess, and the only ones with coherent plot lines were episode 6 and episode 1. I'm not surprised tbh because multi-couple series are hard to pull of in the first place because you need plotlines that you can finish in one episode as well as keep the viewer interested and they just didn't do a good job. I will say though that the acting was really good. All the actors and actresses did an amazing job given the shitty plots and lines they were given.
I really, really wish there was more time to explore this super complex plot. It's so beautiful and this is such a unique show, but I really wish there were some things explained better.
Lmao same, I got so scared for a minute that they were gonna make this some half brothers in love type of thing and I was literally gonna cry but thank god they aren't
Well I don't know of any Korean and Chinese crossovers, but if you're interested, you should watch Peach of Time, which is a crossover of Korean and Thai.
Is this seriously the most iconic K drama of all time?! Because I just watched 25 freaking episodes of a girl who was trying to hard to not fit in get harassed by a misogynist, only to then develop what can only be called Stockholm syndrome because what? he "promised" he was a changed man because of "her love" and then to prove it, became a toxic boyfriend who only regarded her as an object, but we're meant to let all this slide because he had "daddy issues". Seriously was I meant to find the lack of chemistry and harassment cute?! And nobody give me "it was made way back in the day" because that's a really shitty excuse. I can name a million other drama's that do this same shit even today and people say it's "cute" so saying that this is excusable simply because it was made back in like 2009 isn't an argument that should even be used.
