Hello – hello my little faces. I hope that you are all fine and well and you’re watching a lot of series. Let’s see what I watched this week.
THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!
Lovely writer ( 1×11 )
This episode was so sad but so important! From the start, this series was really truthful ( well at least as we know ) about what’s going on BL series. The way that they forced Gene to write BL at first, how the production of the series treated Sib and Aoey but on episode 11 they went big! After someone posted pictures of Gene and Sib on Twitter the whole fandom of Gene’s book and series’ went wild. Half of them got mad that Sib is not dating Aoey and the other half was happy because they were shipping him with Gene. But, the whole situation became hard when people started demanding for the network to stop airing the series ( again I’m talking about the series based on Gene’s book ). The network made Gene and Sib break up for the “sake” of the series. Sib was ready to end his contract but Gene ended their relationship for his boyfriend’s sake. With episode 12th being the last we hope that we’ll get a happy ending but who knows? For me, that move was really meaningful. They wanted to show us how the ( toxic ) fans can destroy not only someone’s career but their personal life as well. We must never forget that shipping two characters on a show is totally fine, shipping two real people is fine as well… but trying to control someone’s personal life because we don’t like the person that they love IS WRONG.
Imitation ( 1×01 )
What a great start!! The premiere was really good and took its time to show us all the main cast. Of course, it was more focused on the main couple, Ma-Ha and Ryeok, and the poor soul ( aka second lead ) Yoo-Jin. The show, as we saw in the first episode, it seems that will not only view the whole “unicorns and rainbows” side of k-pop but also how hard is for the trainees and how cruel some companies can be with the kids. As I said, it was a really good first episode giving us some clues about the characters’ storylines and how will continue. Also, 4 members of ATEEZ and 2 of SF9 are on the main cast making this show my new favorite thing on Earth at this moment ( if you follow my blog you must know how much I love those two groups ).
