This was a good show. My favorite part about this show was the second show in it, it made me interested all throughout and was very good.
What I didnt like is the how the show dealt with sexual assault. In the main story, just like Double Helix it felt like they excused the assualt with “oh but look how much he loves you.” Obviously, this wasnt nearly as bad as double helix but I felt like they shouldnt have included it in this series, it was unecessary and the writers didnt know how to deal with it. And in the second show, i dont like how much they romanticized sa, it shouldnt have been used almost as a kink. I also feel like the inclusion of Justin wasnt necessary.
Also, I didn’t like how dismissive of everyone Zhen Xin was. Like the way he acted didnt feel cool, it just felt plain dumb and reckless and I get that’s his character but his character is also supposed to be nonchalant in a way and he just wasn’t that. Like they acted like they were the only two people in the world and it made me mad because think of everyone else’s hard work that are being put into this show and these two are just ruining it b/c of the scandal. But lowkey I do like how they act because the only toxic trope I like is codependency😃 and it was like that in both the main story and the inner show
Am i the only one who didn't like suji? I don't know why the panel members keep on saying she is cool and whatever…
lol she def didn’t make them fall in love with her, and she never gave publicity stunt to me
that being said, I didn’t like her because I felt like she didn’t consider herself an eternal single and understand why she’s never found anyone. I guess in a way it felt like she thought she was above them and didn’t really feel like she had any reason for why she’s never dated
Everyone ended up single. Even many people from Season 1 are still single. This show is not doing its job very…
I agree, I think the avatar blind dates should have just been for support when the convo fell flat or the singles dont know how to make their heart flutter. It almost gave disgenuine due to hm the spectators interfered
def better production than the last however, i think the dates needed to be more exciting and have cause for heart flutters and also the advantages were lame. They should have stopped with the 5 min library and the safe house was just a waste as it never led to anything.
also I wish they had vetted Taehoon more. He was just a distasteful pick and don’t have a single redeeming quality. Like he genuinely felt like a greasy, bad person to me.
I watched this because I was in the mood for a short bl and even though it was short, it wasn’t missing anything. This show was so good, I literally neglected all my responsibilities just to watch it. This is how a show should be
ooo I'm really hesitant to watch this. The theme is almost pedophilic but if its like the Taiwanese show Innocent, then it has the potential to be great. Someone let me know if it's weird or not
You liking this as your first bl is very interesting to me, what did you like about it?
okay well I would suggest Love in the Big City (show), The Eighth Sense, the Heart Killers, I Told Sunset About You, Eternal Yesterday, My Beautiful Man, Innocent, and Not Me. Thank me later
Not all can watch heavy themes. Not all can think after getting SAed to have a happy ending. Not all can understand…
By heavier themes I meant homophobia, external and internal, rape, toxicity and obsession, and any other presented in the show And I can appreciate the lingering affect on you, but I just wish you could be more objective and see all of the ways the show is lacking The best bls that I can recommend that I feel have great writing, production, acting, and deals with heavier topics are I Told Sunset About You The Untamed The Eighth Sense Love in the Big City (the show) Secret Relationships My Beautiful Man When It Rains It Pours Eternal Yesterday Old Narcissus One Room Angel History 3 Make Our Days Count Innocent Not Me Last Twilight Ticket to Heaven Present Still Perfect
And bonus, if you want deliciously toxic (though subpar writing and production) I would recommend My Stand-In, Thundercloud Rainstorm, Secret Relatiosnhips, Addicted Heroin (Thai), 10Dance, The End of The World With You, Love Mechanics, Heart Killers
so double rape is a cinematic masterpiece?… Watch the Untamed or I told sunset about you and then come back…
Wow you can call me small brain but at least I'm not a rapist sympathizer. This is literally my issue with bl fans like you, you think this is ok because they're men or they're gay so the dynamics is different for you but at the end of the day, rape is rape. So yeah I'm gonna focus on it. He raped him 2X and you think I should just get over that?!... seek help, immediately
my point exactly! they ruined the show I couldn’t keep watching
yes, the fact that it happened TWICE and the issue being placed on Yi Chen and how he needs to recognize his love and care for Lu Feng rather than actually addressing the fact that he raped him
You liking this as your first bl is very interesting to me, what did you like about it?
I would love to recommend you better bls because truth be told, this show is lacking significantly in many ways. Sorry to poop on your passion, I just wish you could see those things done right and you'll really get to see all that bl has to offer
I thought this series was going to be a train wreck and it wasn't. But I still question why GMM made a BL set…
I was wondering that too. I hope it wasn’t in a evangelism sense and trying to “promote” Catholicism to people watching. I also hope they don’t think that’s their target audience
Not all can watch heavy themes. Not all can think after getting SAed to have a happy ending. Not all can understand…
The characters weren’t complex, they were poorly written. Any actual cinematography lover would understand that. and compared to so many out there with heavier themes, this show doesn’t come anywhere close. Even in production, let alone writing.
What I didnt like is the how the show dealt with sexual assault. In the main story, just like Double Helix it felt like they excused the assualt with “oh but look how much he loves you.” Obviously, this wasnt nearly as bad as double helix but I felt like they shouldnt have included it in this series, it was unecessary and the writers didnt know how to deal with it.
