    Taecyeon is correct, acting in different aeries and roles is about increasing his talent spectrum. People need to understand being in a BL series is a job and not reality.

      Exactly ❤❤❤
      I agree on that. Those people are ignorant, they are actors. They played protagonist or antagonist & even disabled person to portray their role and characters to educate us. Same with other gay actors who played straight character like troye sivan from his trilogy movie spud. And the good thing about the new generation k-drama the educate us from many ways from their sensitive topic and political issues like racism, body shaming & homophobia.
      Ignore those crab mentality people my friend, they are blinded by their hates because of being judgemental, racist & even homophobic mind.
      Those people are being jealous to his career and his achievement🥰❤️

    I’m incredibly excited for Soulmate, Ok Tecyeon is a fantastic and high-profile actor who usually plays the lead, so it’s great to have him as lgbt representation. It’s such an interesting project and a cool career move.
    Also Jaechan with bittersweet is such a huge step for kdramas, I hope this starts momentum for more lgbt representation in kdramas.

Luckily I’m currently on my 4th Taecyeon show & I’m sure I will start another before this comes out but I’m trying to pace myself lol.

      @@danielles7766I think it’s the opposite. Queer baiting is straight washing, but not all straight washing is queerbaiting. For example: The Untamed. The Untamed is based off of a BL Manhwa Mo Dao Zu Shi. But because of Chinese censorship, they made it into a bromance. That was an example of straight washing but it wasn’t queerbaiting since it was clear that they had no choice but to make it bromance in order for it to be a success in China. Straight washing a story isn’t always queerbaiting

    Not only is Taecyeon, a wonderful actor taking a bl role, he's doing it with Hayato, who'm i know as Gilbert or Wataru Kun from one of my favourite japanese shows, What did you eat yesterday. Which by the way, is about a middle aged gay couple's daily life showcased through cooking and similar concepts. Although it technically isn't bl, hayato played a gay man with a fully established couple (they were practically married but law ig) I also loved him in Alice in borderland. Im extremely excited to see how this turns out.

I guess chemistry between leads really play a major role on how a series is portrayed

    As a taecyeon & jaechan fan, i'm so proud of them to see their next big project. They prove that they are good actors and singers that's why i'm huge fan of them. Taecyeon never disappointed me on his acting from being antagonist villain from vincenzo, or being main protagonist dramatic actor and comedian in horror comedy series bring it on ghost. Jaechan proves that he can be popular after his first debut on his k-pop career. However he never gain a popularity, but thanks to bl series he get a lot of recognition.
    However, i feel so sad that jaechan have so many positive reviews but taecyeon have a split reaction.
    And for those homophobic haters their, why you are being homophobic with some straight actor who played gay role? He's already married and he proves that his straight. they are actors! They played antagonist, protagonist from comedy, drama, horror, action and even historical event. They played many roles including a sensitive topic like disabled person, sexual orientations, racism & body shaming like korean animated drama series adaptations inspired from novel and anime (I forgot the title sorry✌️).
    And this is the good thing of new generation k-drama because they educated us to respect other people for being differences.
    And don't you think this is a good idea and opportunity to taecyeon that he's doing a big political issues to portray that role to educate other people's including in korea with so many racism and homophobic? Disclaimer i'm not saying all korean are like that because i visited korea there's so many very kind people in korea too.
    But we have to accept that each country have racism, discrimination, homophobic and judgemental people in each country including korea & japan. And this is a good idea that he accept this role including his co- actors from japan. If you don't like the show then don't watched, but leave taecyeon alone you toxic haters crab mentality people🦀 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️💀😂
    Anyway back to our topic, I'm sure taecyeon going to nailed it because he's a good actor and singer 🥰❤️❤️

      @BoysLoveNerd  Місяць тому +2

      @GabiN-zo3vt i think what differentiates this issue from the chinese censored ones is because we know about china's rule when it comes to adopting bl stories. However Korea is not like china and they have made a lot of bl series already. I think this is where those bl fans are coming from. And maybe it would have been better if they just made an original story about it rather than adopting one? Cuz I think bl fans as well as the queer community are just so done with people trying to change their stories.

If you want to criticize smt, at least you should watch the thing, and criticize knowingly, at least that's my principle.

    In regards to the Song Kang thing, things can be queer-coded without it having intentionally been made to look queer. The role originally having been the wife doesn’t mean anything. The role was changed. The director said it wasn’t meant to come off as queer, that’s a fact, but he never said that fans couldn’t interpret it as queer he just wanted to make his intentions clear. The tension might not have been intended to come off that way but fans can think whatever they want. Simple

      I think the issue with that series is more one of straightwashing than queerbaiting, though obviously both play a role. Of course companies are free to remove us from stories about us to reach a broader audience. Indeed many real life queer people have been straightwashed in shows based on their lives for the same reason, so there is no great surprise for the same happening to fictional characters. Nonetheless people like myself have good reason to be annoyed at such behavior, since those actions are clear indications of our status as socially lesser persons and of our stories being considered unacceptable for the broader public by entertainment companies in general and showrunners in particular. This does not mean the show of itself cannot be well made, acted, or any number of other similar things. Merely that the original was considered less viable in large part due to bigotry, and such changes perpetuate the power of bigotry regardless the personal motivations of the creators.

    Kdrama directors be like : We will make you think the actors are gay but then accuse the audience of thinking they're gay.
    Seriously this shit needs to stop. Do not make a guy with a female love interest have more intimate and genuine interactions with another male character. And they purposefully make the female lead's character annoying and rude.
    This also results in blatant mysogyny and the female lead getting unnecessary hate from the audience.
