I would’ve enjoyed this a lot more if they committed to the bit of “dark, forbidden love with complex characters,” that was showed in the first half. I think the ending made sense and I have no true criticisms about it, but the mood of the start of the show should’ve stayed. This was adapted from a webtoom though so maybe the ending being brighter was purposeful.
I understand the frustration with some of the contestants, but I feel like y’all are going too far with the clout chasing accusations. Sure, maybe if you’re not from Korea it could seem that way, gay for pay is a thing, but there is genuinely no long-term pay off from coming out and being on a gay dating show.
“But they’ll gain followers!” Yeah, from international people who have little to no impact on their actual life. Their parents, employers, friends might see this and not take it lightly. For every follower they gain on social media from this show, they likely gain multiple homophobes simply for the fact that they’re gay and on an “embarrassing” show.
I don’t know, it’s just frustrating seeing people act as if being gay in Korea is some sort of ticket to stardom. If anything, it’s extremely limiting and even stars who are openly queer are either stereotyped to hell, seen as a circus attraction, or still get bigoted remarks everyday.
Ya'll are seriously overestimating how much "clout" they'll get from this show that'll translate into actual success that can support their lives. Because some random teenage fujo from a different country commenting heart eyes on their Instagram is NOT going to pay the bills lmao.
The amount of fans who are disrespecting this show without even seeing a single trailer is crazy. You know that if you don’t like something, you can simply just… not watch it? Personally, I don’t see the big deal about the casting. You’re fooling yourself if you expected Korean-based yaoi visuals from a Thai adaptation lol.
FreenBecky fans always have to start drama regarding anything their actresses touch. This looks like a great movie, who cares if it’s “satanic” or “too inappropriate.” Freen is an actress, she can’t stick to Becky and GL her entire career.
I will never understand why the sweetest girls have one of the worst parasocial, rabid fanbase I’ve ever seen.
Can someone who isn’t a Song Kang fan give me an honest review of this season? Is it that bad or is it just another case of an actor’s fans not being satisfied when their favorite actor doesn’t always get the girl?
I remember watching season 1 back in 2019 and really enjoying it.
I hope these guys have good people around them, they need to prepare for the hate obsessive BL fans will inevitably send them once they no longer fit their fantasy (for example, the reaction to season 3).
It’s a dating show, so I’m not sure why a majority of His Man watchers are so hellbent on treating it like a survival show where you “stan” the contestants and don’t see them as real people who can be messy at times.
Not everything will be fluffy and perfect, that’s not how relationships work. If you want that, watch a K-Drama!
This season got way too much hate. I think the issue was that BL fans started watching His Man seeing these guys as characters who must end up with someone (surprise, the world doesn’t work like that lol) and got angry when their fantasy didn’t happen. Relationships can be messy and complicated, and this season showed that.
I feel bad for the gay guys that come on these shows because they’re now subject to hate from thousands of shippers who don’t actually give a damn about queer people over the smallest thing ever.
The experience watching this while it was airing was INSANE. It felt like everyone was talking about Kinnporsche. There’s some flaws to this show, but at the time it took a brave leap and tried something out of the ordinary by BL standards.
A classic. Yeah, it’s obviously not the best drama and the entire plot itself is pretty toxic, but you had to be there watching this when it was airing. Everyone says that 2gether made Thai BL take off internationally, which I mostly agree with, but I honestly feel like TharnType was the starter.
This was my second BL and Thai drama after randomly finding out about 2Moons.
