HAPPY 2ND ANNIVERSARY TO LIGHT ON ME: THE SERIES

A 2021 PHENOMENAL KBL

LIGHT ON ME (2021, SOUTH KOREA)

A story about high school first love. Today is June 29, 2023...on this day 2 years ago BL audiences were introduced to KBL Triangle between Tae Kyung (LEE SAE ON) Daon (CHOE CHAN YI) & Shin Woo (KANG YOO SEOK)

Rounding out the cast was terrific friend Namgoong (GO WOO JIN) and devil may care So Hee (YANG SEO HYUN) who was completely focused I mean laser focused on Shin Daon. And of course who can forget the best teacher Mr. Haet Bit (LEE KI HYUN)

From June 29, 2021 until August 19, 2021 viewers rooted for Shin Woo to win the heart of new student council member Tae Kyung while perhaps a few preferred Daon to win Tae Kyung's heart.

Many wished for a Season 2 (never happened) but eagle eyed viewers saw Shin Woo & Tae Kyung guest star briefly on Best Mistake Season 3.

Happy Anniversary to a GREAT KBL

i finally finished watching light on me. sorry for being ia, i had some irl stuff going on so i didn't really get to watch many bls in a long time. BUT i did finish this one and oh boy do i have quite a few things to say.

first of all, shin woo. that boy might just be one of the best characters ever written. and he is in all aspects a character worthy of being called a comfort character. and not in a "he is so perfect, i wanna marry him" sort of way. he is far from perfect, which is basically normal and very REAL given the fact that perfect people don't exist. so i really like that they showed him as a very good person with some struggles and traumas that resulted in him not acting all kind and nice at the first glance. i like that realness in the show where a character who is basically gay doesn't go around being "i'm gay", but he also doesn't go around hiding who he truly is. (don't get me wrong, both situations are valid but there are also people who just don't give a fuck about going around denying or confirming their sexuality as if that's something that matters, just let people love each other, gay people don't owe you an explanation). he just chooses not to say anything and not denying means people are gonna spread rumors and he just doesn't care and i absolutely adore that about him. sure, it took a lot of struggle and bullying and wishing he wasn't who he is, so he would now be like "i am who i am and i don't give a heck what you have to say about it". but then again, he is definitely NOT perfect. he isn't very sweet and hostile, he isn't talkative, but he is good. he loves tae so much. he makes him feel so good. he loves his friends to the point he would give up his own happiness to save theirs. we saw how he gave up on tae so da on would be happy. and the things he does for both of them are just so precious. that boy is a very good character and i enjoyed watching him. not to mention that kang yoo seok is an absolute beauty and he rocked this character !!

i don't have much to say about tae kyung. he is a very complex character, definitely not so easy to read. he is a bit weird, different. not necessarily in a bad way, but definitely not a person you can meet whenever. i like that uniqueness about him. he just says and shows what he feels and means and it's a good trait. sure, it can make his feelings get hurt very easy, but he likes to feel everything raw and just move on if it doesn't work or stay there if it does. he has no time to waste. i feel like he wants to feel it all and if it doesn't work, he will be sad for a while, but he won't dwell on it. it's a good character, definitely something we need in the bl representation more.

SHIN DA ON !!! I HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS ONE !!! i hate how easily he became my comfort character the moment i played the first episode. the pure kindness in his heart, the constant need to help and please others because he just wants to be noticed and appreciated SO BAD, but constantly fails to be so. and i blame all that family trauma for it. his parents suck real bad. but, as i said, he too isn't perfect, but while shin woo doesn't want to prove anything and just lives his life how he wants to, on the other hand, da on tries his best to please and make everyone else proud and happy, no matter if it makes him comfortable or not. but you know what they say: you can be so good to someone and they will still break you apart with no mercy. and that's what everyone does to da on. e v e r y o n e , starting from his own parents up to his friends (not considering tae, shin woo, shi woon and mr seo) and up to the girl who claims to love him and all those random people who always asked for all sorts of favors but never appreciated it enough. he tried so hard to fit into that mold other people made and even though he got blisters on his palms and tears behind his eyes and even though his limbs ache from trying to fit in SO BAD, he did it so flawlessly for such a long time, never showing that he actually isn't okay at all. and it absolutely pains me. because his character is a good character who just tried to be liked by everyone, he wanted to prove that he was worth the love and affection and good enough for people to consider him a friend, or a son or a lover. but people just never appreciated it enough. that's why he couldn't be a person tae kyung likes, he couldn't be someone who is not considered likable in a society that he tried so hard to please. and i understand that. being a queer person in this world is very hard on it's own, adding his insecurities and trauma on top of it is even worse. he felt like he couldn't handle it, like it wasn't supposed to be like this. and in that constant need to prove himself to others, he kind of lost the track of his own self. he doesn't know how to love who he truly is, not because he doesn't want it, but because he has no idea who he is. and i think that's something he needs to work on FIRST before getting a lover, before breaking any more hearts. and i adore how he actually ended up changing and figuring that part out at the end. slowly, but he is getting there. i think he understood it eventually, too. that's why he gave up on tae when he saw that things just don't work like that. we miss chances sometimes and as much as it can be painful and as much as we regret them, we can't get them back and da on knows it. he finally knows it. and i'm happy for him, he is finally learning who he is. and my opinion is that he deserves all the happiness in the world. i fell so deeply for him.

i didn't want him to end up with taekyung, not because i thought he wasn't fitting, but because i felt he needed to explore himself more. he deserves love, so much love. and i hope someone will be able to give it to him eventually.

i won't say much about so hee. she is that typical girl in bl dramas that has to ruin something lol. but i'm glad she ended up figuring out her mistakes and that she fixed whatever she could in the end. it shows some kind of growth even though i could never forget what she did to da on. you don't hurt the people you love.

haet bit is a good teacher, a good senior. i adore him so much, he is just a ball of fluff and sunshine. all those things he did for his students and taekyung make me feel so emo. really a senior you could wish for.

and of course i saved best for the last. my precious baby shi woon. one little ironic, funny and caring mf. i fell in love with him in the first episode. he is just so perfectly good and nice to his friends and he has no chill if u dare say shit or do stuff to his friends and i absolutely live for that. he is a huge marshmallow in general but if you dare touch his friends, he will bite your hand off. i like how he just knows everything but choses to stay quiet in some situations and then help in other WHEN it seems fitting enough, he really cares a lot. the scene where he is pretending to barf in front of shin woo and tae flirting still gets me.

overall, this series was a great experience and i really enjoyed it. it wasn't too deep, too smutty or anything like that, but it was very fun and very meaningful and it just showed the real side of being a teenager. i'm not saying all bls should be smutty, deep or stuff like that btw. i'm just saying, it was a package where nothing outdid the other, like kissing scenes weren't better than deepness of it and the other way around. it was a little package and everything was not too much, but just enough. i really really liked it. i give this series a 9/10. it was a great experience and if i have time, i would want to rewatch it. absolutely gorgeous. <3

My thoughts on Light On Me episode 10:

I never noticed this until now but Daon's a leftie?? (in the study session scene lol) I feel like Daon took off the bracelet and whipped his hand away from Tae when the two guys entered the room either bcuz he cares about his reputation and doesn't want to be labeled gay & he's afraid of what people would think about him and has not came in terms with his sexuality. Another option could be he might be like what Shiwoon said, "They might not be ready just yet." But I dunno, I just don't like some of his actions ever since episode 9 (like when he left in the middle of Tae's confession to do something for others which is like "ISN"T THE CONFESSION MORE IMPORTANT THAN A FAVOR?!?!) (After that talk w/ Tae & Namgoong) Sohee's toxicness to Tae and her homophobia is so bad that Namgoong can't take it anymore and i love it...boi rlly stood up to her Poor boi shinwoo, having to go to a school that 40 minutes away...because of what happened back in middle school and the bullies... but i love how he cares for that animal everyday without even knowing what it is ❤️❤️❤️ AND UGHHHHHH that next episode teaser boils my blood, hopefully Shinwoo saves the day fro Tae (and at this point any moments with Shinwoo-Tae & Shiwoon will make an episode feel better) Also Love Advisor reward goes to Mr. So Haet Bit because of his great wisdom about love & how he's given advice to almost all the boys (except Daon) LOL

Hi! Hope you are smiling today too? Wait let me send you some hugs today!! (っ.❛ ᴗ ❛.)っ so I wanted to ask ? If you are watching light on me? Series? Coz I started a new manhua "behind the desk" I guess it is the story of their teacher Seo Haet Bit bcoz all the characters in that story has the same name as the characters in the series! Like we have our president Shin Da On , We have Noh Shin Woo too we even have Woo Tae Kyung also the name of the school is same!!

This is a companion post to this list of vocabulary found in the song.

The romanization is not based only on the literal translation of the hangul characters; it is based on how the characters actually sound when put together. For example, while many sites romanize “겁나” as “geobna,” the word should actually be pronounced as “geomna,” so I’ve romanized it this way to make it easier to understand.

Whoa, oh / Oh

ga-kkeum jin-shi-ri-ran geo 가끔 진실이란 거 Sometimes, the truth

Oh

geo-jit-mal-bo-da a-peun-geol 거짓말보다 아픈걸 Hurts more than a lie

I MISSED THEM SO MUCH. SO THE REWATCH IS ON.....AGAIN.

Remember when...

LIGHT ON ME (2021, SOUTH KOREA)

Episode 1

Loner Tae Kyung (LEE SAE ON) decides at the beginning of his sophomore year, he wanted to become more social and make friends.

He has 2 interactions that help lead him to this conclusion. One favorable: he meets the well like student council president Shin Daon (CHOE CHAN YI) after he is hit in the head with a ball in the school hallway and quickly takes a liking to him. One unfavorable: He meets Shin Woo (KANG YOO SEOK) trying to return a dildo (yep, I said dildo) and trips over his own feet and makes contact with Shin Woo's backside.

At any rate Tae Kyung's homeroom teacher Seo Haet Bit (LEE KI HYUN) suggests Tae Kyung join student council. This is where he is reintroduced to Shin Daon and Noh Shin Woo and the handsome (ask him he'll tell you) Namgoong (GO WOO JIN)

So begins Tae Kyung foray into first love...
