Are korean boys really like them? I mean they're so affectionate with each other so caring. They're hugging, clinging, stuffing food to each other. Not just 5 of them, they're like that with their classmate & coursemate as well. I know BTS members are like that but are korean boys in general really like that as well? In my country usually girls are like that but boys? Well that's a rare sight for boys..
Don’t be fooled by what you see. While it might look like Korean men are affectionate and gentle, reality is much more complex. Korea is still a very conservative society with deeply rooted gender roles, and misogyny and sexism are less significant issues there.
Many Korean men , like men everywhere can act affectionate with their friends, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they treat women equally or respectfully in relationships. In fact, Korea has a high rate of misogyny, and some men blame women for societal issues as a way to feel in control.
Also, most BL manhwa are created by women who imagine idealized personalities for male characters. That’s why these characters seem so caring and gentle, it’s fiction. In real life, finding men who fully embody those traits is rare. Even if they aren’t overtly misogynistic, they may still hold traditional or problematic views.
As an Asian person, I’d say it’s important not to romanticize an entire group of people based on media portrayals. Reality is a lot more nuanced and harsher.
Sis trust me no man I mean it NO MEN IN THE WORLD ARE LIKE THIS Be it korean or whatever country u want no men would be THIS AFFECTIONATE korean boys are also just your regular boys or maybe even worse u don't know stay awake (づ￣ ³￣)づ
When u say "most BL manhwa are created by women who imagine idealized personalities for male characters" only then it made me understand why most if not all friendship BL that I read are like this. I guess we can only imagine (or hope) that boys be caring & affectionate like in the fiction
Haha boys will always be the same boys in every country huh
I've just finish season 1 and seriously I love all 5 of them! Maehwa & Jaewon is so cute. Yeonan & Dalguk is so adorable. Jaewon & Dalguk is kinda hot HOT like hot! Sehyeong is that bestfriend that everyone need. Their friendship is priceless. I wish I have what they have. This story is amazing. I can't wait to finish season 2 now
You know what's gonna happen when Jay's in a uniform & Shin is staring at him like dat.. Sluurrrpp.. Hahaha Shin's so obvious!
I just cant help it if its sports trope. Love between jocks just hit different. Love this! Even though Geon young is hot headed he's so hot okay
So jerome went into corruption because of K, I mean because K thought that he had jerome under control. But jerome wasn't able to control his power at all. Now I get why K is so crazy about Fabian controlling his power. Now I get why he wants to control & care for Fabian that much. I guess he had this burden all this while thinking he's the reason jerome become corrupted
Okayy wait cause this cleared up a little bit of the confusion for me. Now I get the why K approached Fabian plot point
Yeah right? All this while I was so confused too. Without the jerome back story K just look like a power hungry psycho
They're so handsome. So beautiful. I think this has potential in a full long story. Give them a serious plot. It'll be so good. Pwp is just not enough for these two pretty lovelies
That d*ck ross should be dead way back when. How dare he even think of Shin like that. I mean I get that our boy is just lookin so delicious but ross is really is a wacko
I am definitely going to be rereading this one. Its really is a relaxing reading experience. One might feel that its a bit boring without all the gruesome angst but to me I love it so much because it tells more about the relationship instead of the drama. I really wish I have their relationship. Its so heart warming (づ￣ ³￣)づ
