What drugs are you on? Classism has nothing to do with this so maybe practice ur english. I just explained the difference. Storywise they are techincally different These definitions were created prolly before u were even born . I never grouped it into anything, but that's the truth. Educate urslef dumbass. AND i LOVE BOTH. I see no problem in both and find both amazing but different.
fyi these are terms used by the queer/lgbtq people themselves so maybe blame the community if its such a stick up ur ass. Maybe if u stop trying to be the victim saying BL fans are being attacked or whatever and people look down on BL fans or something people are NOT doing that.
I don't understand why u hate labels so much. Its not there to create any hate between fans. It simply describes what type of content it is. Stop inflating this and making it problem when its not.

Understand that some BL fans don't want to watch sad depressing stories -which is valid-. Its simply there to help u navigate. Sometimes i want realistic gay dramas that i could relate to. Not every BL is realistic.
Pls get this into ur thick skull.

This is why fans should learn a bit of history, especially if u watch alot of BL. BL's were catered towards straight women, who wanted to see men more emotional and expressive and how loving they were since the past was very cruel.It was kinda like a fetish. while now there are many gay people who watch BL its still dominated by straight women. Tell me how many gay people can realistically relate to kinnporsche? While its my favourite drama of all time it hardly addresses gay issues.
Now the tag LGBTQ was created in the 1990's or even earlier according to some, focused on directors and actors who wanted to portray the real life of gay struggles. These deal with much heavier topics.
Another correction is there are so many labels when its just BL and LGBTQ(aka queer). Besides alot of gay characters in movies in the past were portrayed as evil, anti religious etc.
PS: I love both BL and LBGTQ dramas. There's nothing inherently wrong with labels. Alot of this is because of misunderstanding and lack of knowledge about the genres.

Don't apologize, Its ok to have different opinions. Ofc the series let alone the MC isn't perfect and its fine to not like it. I personally loved it. As to the american mindset, korean gay movies are/can be very explicit, same goes for straight korean movies. Tv series are majorly mild while the movies can be totally different.

Well, its sad from the 2nd episode onwards. The ending is what some people call "bittersweet" or open ending. MC is satisfied (not to be confused with happy) even tho he didn't end up with anyone and still has his bunch of mazing friends there for him through everything.
There is a chance of happiness since one of his exes who he loved alot but had to break up cuz of long distance is coming back to korea so he might end up with him, if people interpret it that way,

The show in general talks of contracting HIV, death of people, internalized homophobia, mental hospitals, strained mom-son relationship, and breakups, regrets on breakups, married gay men.

I disagree. It doesn't show a difference rather explains the meaning of what the drama is. I'd have trouble going through a streaming site if they didn't have these tags or genres. The genres show a difference story-wise not love. Besides these terms are used by most of the community themselves.

Prolly due to her having an entire family now. Its hard to meet up with ur uni friends ngl.

Man just let people call it what they want at this point. No need to get triggered if people label it as something or not. Besides the queer community itself has many labels under it. It's not the end of the world nor does it affect anyone.

He never got AIDs. AIDS is when hiv becomes too severe. There's a major difference. Like comparing a cold to pneumonia.

Considering the fact that most dramas are straight in viki definitely. Also the ranking will probably rise since its only been 3 days since release.

I want a season 2. I want them to explore more into Go Young's and gyu ho's romance, and what happens after. Seems like too much was left for open interpretation.

true, i think gyu ho doesn't care about kylie and wants to have condomless sex while Go Young is scared to spread it even tho he could be undetectable and untransmittable.

I think he got it after, the 2nd philosopher bf. Other than that i agree that if u have a STD u should inform people who u have sex with.

Girl ur talking about a niche. There are extremists in ANYTHING be it bl or queer or whatever. As to the reason i deleted my response, its cuz i figured it was useless. U still prolly think there's tons of queer media fans hating on BL fans when in reality queer fans are BL fans too. Ive been reading comments here from the time the drama was announced and haven't come across BL haters as u claim, tho i did find homophobes.
And just to re clarify im a huge BL lover myself, my watchlist speaks for itself.

Go yong did hookups to forget about gyu ho. He thought that maybe he fell in love with habibi but realized that he was merely a sense of comfort not love.
Habibi on the other hand was a married gay man who's filled with guilt cuz of his family. He thought that maybe go young could reduce his guilt since he has fun with him but it didn't work out.

Hes hot. He just started instagram to promote this.

Yea. At first i thought it was a personality not matching issue but the older go young would've loved nam gyu.

Ofc i get ur point. I personally am a lover of both. I think it labelling helps u get a grasp of the situation better that's it for some don't like heavy topics like hiv,sex life etc. The OP idk where she's going with this "anti-BL" thing she claims since most queer fans are also BL Fans. At the end its just arguing over semantics.

No ones saying anything like that. Its just that some BL fans don't even know what BL means and how it started. If u see the comment section many talk about this in terms of a BL, which is wrong. Its like saying thriller and horror are the same. Many Bl fans don't know what queer movies are nor have they seemed to have watch since someone has to explain everytime why its a queer drama.
I love both so i see no problem. I think people need to just chill. No ones acrually scolding BL fans for their lack of understanding cuz everyone starts somewhere.

They still are good friends. She has an entire family so its not easy anymore to meetup. People's priorities change. Liekwise some people grow out of their relationships with others or in this case reduces contact.

Gay people don't make kids dumbass. Its striaght people's fault for not making kids. U mad crazy u forgot biology u demented creature.
Dude thinks watching dramas makes people gay.
