In fairness, queerbaiting is a tactic producers will at least lean into even with idols as a sort of marketing gimmick.
But bro I think if they’re acting
It’s fanservice, not queerbaiting. People can’t queerbait :)
Very true! I probably should have clarified that the tactic used by the producers/companies is a queerbaiting one. But yes, real live people and their relationships cannot be queerbait
It’s okay! Thank you for clarifying ^^
This is just….not it.
I don’t mind stories with dark themes or scenes, and I can tolerate stories that would be morally dubious in real life. I understand that it’s just fiction, and it’s just meant to be a place to safely indulge in certain fantasies.
So when I say this story just does not hit, it’s not coming from some sort of moral grandstanding place.
Genuinely, just none of the characters feel likable and I don’t care for them to succeed or fail really.
Even the MC just seems dumb to a degree that is kind of ridiculous. Like, you chose the certifiably WORST way to get Khalid/Hallid out of your house to save him? Like, why - make it make sense.
After that, every other guy sucks hard rocks. Any sympathy the ML could have gotten from a his backstory has dribbled away like jam out the back end of a sandwich.
I can’t even find enjoyment as a revenge story, because the plot around the revenge feels half baked.
All in all, this story just feels pointless and so I don’t really care to finish it
OMG my EXACT thoughts like it's just not good
