woew this is some rlly good criteria! i’ve never rlly payed attention to that but now i can kinda see it.
(●￣(ｴ)￣●) hehe...I read it one go maybe that's why I can summarise it. I was reading it hoping their characters would develop but it was kinda confusing.
Their relationship also seems a bit corny and kinda guided by the "method acting" they did since their connection was all based on the roles they were playing. Especially with the uke...
Like it takes years to develop that method actor personality but he's having trouble getting out of his character just after a few scenes and that too were all "intimate" ones. Like the ending of the movie - which was supposedly heartbreaking - didn't make sense??? He was certified as negative for HIV and he still killed himself??? Lol wut
Method acting is creepy in the first place and I just wish the uke had some backbone and some actual acting experience of his own. It was like this was his first film. It would have amazing if they were both highly competitive...the GOOD acting the uke did was when he wasn't acting at all???
And the seme and director knew it. Still the seme forced his director friend to hire the uke even though he wasn't impressed???
Idk ... people can like it but it didn't impress me. This whole weird plot with no sensible progression or backstories.
Excuse me but Remington did not FORCE the director, he was recommended and did you read their conversation well? It was explained that it's the director's will to accept him not because of Remington's recommendation.
He did not force the hire but okay... that convo about Remington’s recommendation literally took like half a chapter so I don’t know how you can miss that makes your points less accurate.
Point less accurate?? No. U r the one who missed the point. U said u hate it that the seme blah blah blah but u didn't thoroughly read it. What makes u different to the crews talking bad about Xingcheng who pulled string just to get the role? Xingcheng worked hard on it!
He was using his influence whatever. Personally I didn't like it and didn't think it was fair. So much for being a professional....
I was talking to the OP not ur reply lmfaoo???
It’s literally a recommendation? Everyone does it to get a job in real life are you dumb? I’ve done that for friends, I’ve seen coworkers do that for their friends. Even more so in the entertainment business it’s a NORM. What do you mean “professional”
It means....he wasn't a good actor, and the times he acted good were the times he wasn't acting at all.
Recommendation was unfair, though I understood why he did it. Professional as in...as an actor; who is considered one of the best; should at least take in consideration the impact of his recommendation.
ANYWAY what bothers me is that the uke didn't get the audition on his own merit.
Just because it is "common" doesn't mean it's right. You can disagree but I would've liked if he actually was chosen for his skills rather than because his "pretend" boyfriend made it happen. Idk...
The director literally says he was chosen for his skill and not for the recommendation though that did have an effect ln letting him audition again. Not to mention the directors first request, not telling the actor anything about the character, role, context etc. is seriously hard to act out with or without skill and talent. Also recommending people is completely normal especially when it comes to the entertainment business , the actor had his own talents, though his skills are obviously not perfect he’s still getting there and the guys recommendation only gave him a push to actually be able to show his talent. It’s not like the director got bribed so i don’t know why you’re looking so deep into the minor insignificant details but not looking at the actual important things. Bribery ans recommendations are two seperate things
the reply above is......... yes.......... please reread it, bcs it rlly seems like you didn't read this newest chapter at ALL LMAO
Agree with this one. Like it or not, a lot of jobs come from recommendations and networking. So actually, you could say the MC did a good job networking and was able to get the opportunity to *audition* for the role. Even if he fucked up the first time, he did well the second time and so u could say he deserves. If he was truly that bad, then of course he still wouldn’t have gotten it!!
Also, out of all things to nitpick, idk why u chose the method acting as one of them. It’s a bit presumptuous to call it “creepy” when it does happen irl and is a valid thing to add onto the plot. Anyways, at the end of the day, this is just a story. There’s nothing that toxic or problematic in it either. No need to take it that seriously lolol
The director said he wasn't impressive in his audition at all and was "reassured" by the seme based on the film they just did together??? The DIRECTOR of the film they worked on while he was directing it mentioned his 'good acting" skills only when he WASN'T acting but had *become* the character- the method part. To me that isn't a test of his acting skills. Basic scenes he had to do had to be taken a lot of NG cuts.
You can CONSIDER it fair, but I didn't like it. I didn't think it was FAIR even if it is what generally happens..I would've liked it if he got it on his merit - I.E. BY AUDITIONING.
The diesctir was intrigued by him being casted by that famous director and making this famous actor the second main character so he was INTRIGUED but he wasn't impressed. Whatever. That's the least of the problems this manhwa has.
Fuck off. You didn't read the comment I wrote. It was something i personally didn't like.and the story has a lot more plotholes than just seme using his influence to get the uke auditions
A resume literally has a section for references which you know employers ask for RECOMMENDATIONS??? Remington is just that, a reference LMFAO. “Doesn’t mean it’s right” Please go out to the real world, you seem like you have not even tried to apply for a job. Even the director himself, if you read he actually said, on how Remington did not influence his final decision.
I don’t think you actually know what plotholes are . There has been no instance where the plot has been nonsensical in terms of development. Yes, you can have your own opinion for moments on what you deem “unlikeable” (shitty takes at that!) but the plot itself has been so straightforward. All your take was that “I wish the uke had a backbone awww” okay? “I wish he can act better when he’s been in this career for 6 years awww” How is that a plot hole? It’s realistic at best, hell we have old ass actors irl who can’t act for shit. There has been no facts to your arguments it’s clearly your opinion on how you would want the story to be. If that’s the case gtfo and stop wasting your time.
this!!!
again you’re missing the entire fucking point and instead focusing on insignificant details, literally just reread the manhwa cause it seems like some chapters just went over your head. It would be fine if you actually had valid critique but all you’re doing is nitpicking things that you just didn’t read. The director so clearly states that he infact did not choose the actor bc of the recommendation but bc of his own talent which also includes being able to immerse yourself in the character. Regardless of what you think it’s still real acting and so many actors do it, completely immerse themselves in the character which makes it more realistic. Your points make absolutely no sense
The story isn't anything special...the uke is kinda...idk boring?
He's supposedly been acting for 6 years but acts like an amateur actor.
The ending of the 1st movie they were shooting didn't make sense? He was getting over-emotional even in scenes that weren't overly emotional. He's kind and considerate but idk it's unprofessional.
Also what's up with the author's preference to make the side characters such inconsiderate jerks who are ALWAYS hellbent on getting the uke drunk or wet?
Wish he had some backbone.
Also I didn't like the fact that seme used his influence to get him that movie even though the director didn't like his audition (seems unfair?? Someone else who deserves it should get it??? I mean you like the dude but *serioulsy...I wouldn't do that to a friend)
Plus what the point of drinking afterwards like someone just died??? Chill, you didn't get the results of the audition?
Their relationship dynamic is so weird.
Also I find method actors really freaky so that part of the story was really uncomfortable. The role wasn't even that deep and I can get over how forced the ending was of the 1st movie? Hahaha
I had been putting off this manga but I guess it wasn't worth the wait. (￣∇￣") I wish I read the novel first but now idk if I wanna...
