I haven't heard the phrase "chicken and beer" so much since that one Ludacris album back two decades ago.

I put this on for obvious reasons, since discovering this actor from watching Weak Hero I'm currently obsessed with Park Jihoon. I wanted to see his adorable face some more, plus I enjoy his acting. I'm really enjoying this series. It takes place on a college campus centering the students and their personal lives/thoughts and I love academic-centered anything so I'm loving it.

Submissions are still open!
Mods Note: It genuinely hurts me that these two are competing against each other. I love them both so much! Curse you random bracket generator!
Julie and the Phantoms:
All the boys are ghosts and Julie is the only one who can see them. Reggie and Alex both had terrible parents and while Luke's were better they still weren't the best. Reggie has a line saying that they are the only family he has
EVEN IF U IGNORE JUKE ITS THE BEST WE GOT JULIE WHO IS GRIEVING HER DEAD MOM, LUKE WHO DIED B4 HE COULD MAKE UP W/ HIS MOM, ALEX THE GAY IN THE 90S WITH HOMOPHOBIC PARENTS AND REGGIE WITH THE SHOULD BE DIVORCED BUT ISNT PARENTS!!! THE SHOW IS A B O U T THE BOYS DYING THEN COMING BACK BC OF *JULIE*. LUKE INTRODUCED HER TO ROCK!! THE SHOW IS A B O U T THEIR FOUND FAMILY AND IF NETFLIX WERE A BUNCH OF PISSHEAD WHITE CAPITALISTS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN I C O N I C
They are the best band and the best family. Not even death can separate them
Yeo Joon, Kim So-Bin & Nam Soo-Hyun:
Please, I love them so much!! More people need to watch this drama. They all have their own differnt problems, that make life hard for them, but somehow they find each other (because Yeo Joon is very persistent and very lovable (and also, very traumatized)). Soo-Hyun is just the ultimate older brother. So-Bin is so sweet and I love her so much. (I also really love her roommates and their dynamic. I know they're not relevant right now, but I need to mention them when I'm talking about this drama.) I love them all as individual characters. And I love their dynamics. And I love them. I just love them so much. There's this one scene where the teacher asks themwho their role model is and Yeo Joon and So.Bin say it's Soo-Hyun and then they start listing things about him that are great and admirable, etc. And then after the class he asks them what that was all about and they say "We just love you". And it's so cute. And I love them so much. Here's a gifset of the scene. Please look just at it! https://www.tumblr.com/gabrielokun/700647755128963072
So I just want to ask. I see that you're watching Seen At A Distance as well?
Have you read the webtoon? What do you think is the difference of the webtoon and kdrama? IS it big? And is it worth to watch?
Thank you, love your posts btw.
YES! I actually started watching it from the day episode 1 aired.
It is a must watch if you're interested with coming of age & slice of life dramas. And it's really relatable given that I still feel like a student in my age. Though I'm a teacher now.
I also read some of the chapters from the webtoon. And yeah, there is a big difference between the genre distribution.
The webtoon is really leaning for shonenai genre. If you don't know, which I doubt, shonenai literally translates to male student love. That's why it's shonen because it refers to boys. If it's shoujo then girls and josei is for women.
It's basically BL in a sense. But without those strong scenes (something that yaoi has)
Now the drama doesn't really lean that way too much. Instead, it leans in the category of bromance. An intense friendship between boys - something like a brother-brother close relationship.
If you watch the drama, it will make sense too. Given that, that's what Jun really wants. And he will always be attracted to Soo-hyun. No matter what, he will always be looking at his back.
