Just started a new kdrama after watching Devil Judge and Beyond Evil. I don’t know where the gay is but I can smell it coming. It’s going to get Bromantic around here.
Update: finished two new dramas. I saw bromance and now I ship them. They’re gay and you can’t tell me otherwise.
It's really hard to believe we now have korean dramas that doesn't focus on the romance, where you can ignore the romance if you wish and that the romance doesn't overwhelm the actual plot. For years I didn't have any interest in kdrama because it was always about "guy meets girl", if you see a guy standing next to a girl you already know where this is going, everybody is always falling in love all the time. Even when there was a good plot, it moved tangled in the romance, and it was really hard to watch if you are romance repulsed, don't like romance or are just really really tired of ships and couples. This is unprecedented.

Thinking about how awkward and funny Juwon is when he and Dongsik sleep in a bed together for the first time. Dongsik turns around to give him his back for a bit of personal space but all Juwon does is staring at it in the darkness, thoughts spiraling about 'why is your waist shaped like that'?? as if the curves of Dongsik’s body are some calculated act of seduction rather than just the natural anatomy of a man who is sharing a bed with a socially deprived, horny touch-starved chaebol son with a long history of inconvenient arousal and unprocessed affection.
he looks like a painting like what the fuck
beyond evil is so interesting to me because dong sik grew up in a christian household, and he’s introduced as someone who doesn’t seem to care too much for christianity in general, and then years later, there’s going to be someone kneeling in front of him and saying that he’ll go to hell, and there are fallen angel statutes in dong sik’s garden, and dong sik refers to joo won as his savior … when i tell you i think constantly about the deep significance of the oddly religious undertones in dong sik and joo won’s relationship and when i tell you about how beyond evil truly is a queer love story because oh you know it’s a queer love story when there’s strangely religious undertones
