I haven't seen this drama and probably never will.

I love reading negative reviews so that's why I clicked on yours and started reading it but at the same moment that I noticed the length and was about to give up, something in your review made me think of another series I had the exactly same feelings about.

All the stalking, pushiness, care of the passive partner etc. etc. you talk about as bad and in a negative way, is what I thought about Unknown which I hated. I know you liked that one and I do not know if they compare but your review made me think that they do in a certain way.

Anyhow, I love ranty reviews like yours and I hope to see more of them. I need to check your reviews section....

How can he be 42? He looks 25, tops!🥰🥰🥰

She's 47 years old (and he is 50!) and still needs her mother's approval to get married! Cultural it is!

Poor rich people!😭😭😭

Money, money, money...what else?

How low is MDL going to stoop with these misleading articles?

But the problem goes much deeper: producers using internet to milk the actors' good looks (and maybe talent but I am not sure...) dry in order to get clicks and make money. They have all lost sense of propriety, personal space and dignity. Money is what is important. If you give the fans a glimpse of a star, they'll try to take the sky by hounding actors wherever they may be: on the internet or in real life.

When I see the huge numbers of posts on feeds about c dramas: most of them are just the fans salivating over how hot the actors are and insinuating what they'd love to do to them. Extremely toxic and unhealthy behaviour mostly sanctioned by agents and producers.

Until a couple of years ago we had the same phenomenon with Thai BL actors though that seems to have calmed down a lot probably just due to the sheer amount of BLs coming out of Thailand, with too many different pairings. Too many for just a few to take the front of the stage. Not like 5 years ago when the same problems arose: toxic fans demanding outrageous attention and proximity to the actors, conflating fact and fiction (do you remember the fans going overboard about Ohm and Nanon pairing break up?).

And then when the actors fight back they are forced to apologize! What a sick world we live in!

So it is a Thai korean BL?

It is good? I'll take your word for it: I dropped it after 20 minutes. I could not finish even one episode, it was too cringy and badly acted for my taste. But I am glad you liked it! There is something for everyone and this was not for me.

So this is a Thai BL made with korean crew (actors and production) and based on a korean BL and in Korean language. Why would Thai make a BL in Korean? Koreans make BLs as well!

I agree with you about japanes BLs but korean? I could probably count on the fingers of one hand good korean BLs IMO. What are your favourites? I am curious....

I thought wetv was a chinese company? My bad! I scrolled through the end credits and all I could see were korean names with a few chinese ones. Whatever it is, this does not give Thai vibes! IMO!

Why do you think you should watch these?😅

Produced by a chinese company with a korean crew based on a korean webtoon. Look at the end credits! This looks very much like a korean BL not Thai whatever the country of origin it appears to be.
I wonder why....

Exactly what I said!🤣🤣🤣
I don't know why Koreans insist on making BLs if they are not willing to do it properly. Good KBLs are few and far between! I couldn't even finish the first episode of this one!

You are preaching to the choir my friend!
But drama related articles do not attract new users and clicks as much as these clickbait "news" articles do! Which means traffic on the site which means more ad revenue! It is as simple as that! Unfortunately!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East
Kazakhstan is not in the Middle East but in Central Asia. According to wikipedia.

This here is a lazy translation issue!

Each language has its way to designate the same area. In French, there are two terms to describe what in english is called the Middle East: Proche orient (the western part of the middle east) and Moyen Orient (Persian gulf countries).

All this to say that I have never heard the area called West Asia in English. If we are talking about the same wars (Iran, Israel), that is. I am not aware of anything warlike going on in Kazakhstan but I do apologize if I am mistaken.

If you are a good translator, your translations should make sense in the language you translate to. You do not translate literally if you want to be understood. Just look at this article or the many MTL books (I often come upon users here complaining about MTL translated books and dramas making no sense whatsoever). Mostly confusing gibberish.

West Asia war? Is that the Middle East just from Korean perspective?

Left wing actor?

A load of BS of an article. But I guess MDL is getting the clicks it wants to keep on churning empty nonsense like this!

What has happened to this site? Where has the community spirit gone? MDL has become too big to stay just the user site? I have so many fond memories from not so long ago (4-5 years) when the homepage was filled articles and editorials written by users. Whatever the current slop is (casting, ratings and gossip), it would have been compiled into one monthly article which was more than enough!

Good old days! ;-))

I started watching this but it just makes me think of Jack O'Frost with the amnesia plot and the acting is so cringe here. I might just rewatch the japanese drama instead of suffering through this.....😅😅😅

MAME is known for her highly toxic and abusive MM romances and some people like those, but I do not have the impression you are one of them!

WOW! Have you read it? Is it worth it?
I started reading both the book and the manhua (the art was amazing!) but then the translator put it behind friends' wall and I never got to go beyond chapter 20.
I am probably never going to read it : books are too expensive and the chances of finding this in my local (non English) library are zero.
I was looking forward to the show but it seems to be stuck in development hell...

So right.. What made this series so popular when it was first released is - one, the insane chemistry between the actors and two, the number of BLs at the time (very few!).
Word to the wise: do not watch the sequels (they are even worse than this) and try to avoid anything written by MAME (she made series out of all her books and they are just going from bad to worse!)!

There is a movie cut of this drama with another 10min added changing the ending. Everyone says the movie is better than the drama.
