Lee Seung Gyu as SHIN KI TAE & Lee Jong Hyuk as LEE WAN OUR DATING SIM (2023)

[forcebook]

Lee Wan & Shin Ki Tae happy boyfriends era.

[khunkinn]

Let's just stay like this.

[krystaljungs]

It’s because the game we’re developing is a dating simulator. I’m just curious.

[respectthepetty]

I need y'all to understand exactly why Our Dating Sim is doing the "I left him because I love him" plot sooooooo well for me.

Lee Wan (Ian) kissed Ki Tae (Eddy). When Eddy stepped back and pushed Ian away, Ian ran away. They have not seen each other for seven years.

In that time, Eddy has searched for Ian, and when he finally found him, he launched a strategic plan to get Ian back into his orbit.

HOWEVER, he hasn't just forgotten that Ian ran away seven years ago, essentially abandoning him.

This is what I think other shows that attempt this miss. They either fall into "I'm just so happy to have him back and will forgive everything" OR "I'm holding grudges forever." Eddy wants Ian back, but he has been passively/aggressively reminding Ian that HE left him, not the other way around. Ian can be upset. Ian can be overwhelmed. But at the end of the day, IAN left Eddy, so while Ian was allowed to move beyond the incident over the past seven years, Eddy has been stuck there.

Ian tells Eddy he acted as if he didn't remember Ian, but Eddy corrects him that Ian acted that way first. Ian tells Eddy he is stalking him. Eddy reminds him that his blog was open to the public, he truly needed an illustrator, and has been professional with him.

And this entire moment was *delicious* because unlike other shows, Eddy doesn't let Ian slide. Ian can't avoid the truth. Ian can't pin this on Eddy. Eddy doesn't let Ian avoid answering. He confronts Ian, and the longer they do this, the more aggressive Eddy becomes. He even shoulder checks Ian.

Even when Ian begs, Eddy lets him walk away, but he doesn't let up.

Because Eddy DESERVES ANSWERS!

Ian's feelings of rejection were valid. Eddy pushed him away and stepped back, but he didn't give Eddy a chance to explain, and seven years later, he still won't.

Eddy doesn't just deserve answers.

Eddy deserves to be heard.

Challenge: Make a poll with five of your all time favourite characters, and then tag five people to do the same. See which character is everyone's favourite.

Tagged by @thisonelikesaliens & @mikuni14 Thank you so much ✨

I just couldn't pick one character, so here are pairs that are my all time favourites.

It was so hard to pick favs, and after I came up with this list I realised that I picked from Korean and Taiwanese BLs, but that doesn't mean I have any favs from Thai BL. Others I would have loved to put on this list- Ayan from The Eclipse, Boston from Only Friends, Tang Yi from HIStory 3: Trapped Charn from Laws of Attraction and many more.

SHIN KI TAE BEING MESMERIZED BY LEE WAN...

OUR DATING SIM (2023, SOUTH KOREAN)

Shin Ki Tae (LEE SEUNG GYU) was overwhelmed by Lee Wan's (LEE JONG HYUK) confession in high school and his subsequent reaction caused Lee Wan to flee.

Shin Ki Tae reconnected with Lee Wan through the latters cartoon blog well before a face to face reunion took place.

7 years after the confession Shin Ki Tae lured Lee Wan out of hiding via a job proposal as an illustrator for gaming company creating a dating simulation app.

Initially a bit cold Shin Ki Tae finally returned the confession but could Lee Wan (still pining for his high school first love) believe that Shin Ki Tae returned his feelings after what Lee Wan felt as rejection 7 Years Ago.

15 Day BL Challenge (part 2)

Day 28: What Love scene gripped you?

I’m trying to think of the term ‘grip’ like; I was reeled in and I couldn’t look away? Okay, you know, I could pick a NC scene, but I think I’m gonna go for a confession of love, or in this case ‘like’ because they’re just cute lil guys.

“Yesterday, today and probably tomorrow I will continue thinking about you.”

Ahhh! The rizz of that boy! I stg, couldn’t have been me at 18 - well wait, I was kind of leaving my slut phase by 18 so, yeah, I’ll just go with couldn’t have been me lol.

Shin Woo’s confession that he had been thinking about and messaging Tae Kyung even though he knew it wouldn’t get a reply back as he watched the boy he liked and had liked for so long start to crush on - and eventually date - someone else, and not caring still sending him messages, figuring that Tae Kyung would figure it out eventually. The scene was just: ugh! My heart! 🫠🫠🫠 It was such a simple scene, it didn’t try to be anything more than it was which is what made it perfect. Sometimes the most simple of moments can have the most profound impact, that’s what I really liked about Light On Me. It was so funny but also full of so much heart and emotion that when the emotional scenes hit, they hit hard! Like when Shin Woo finds Tae Kyung after his breakup and tells him to just cry if he needs to and that he’ll pretend he won’t see anything, only to hug him as he fights back his own tears? 😭 A heart punch I tell you! It was a punch to the damn chest!

Sorry, rambling. But yeah, the scene of Shin Woo admitting his feelings out loud for the first time to Tae Kyung, that counts as a ‘love’ scene right? Because it was absolutely romantic as heck, that’s for damn sure! I have a lot of little scenes in my mind that I guess gripped me, some kind of out of left field and I found myself tearing up or just downright sobbing.

Another is - and this might be a weird one - when Ki Tae can’t contact Lee Wan in episode seven of Our Dating Sim and when they finally run into each other while Wan is heading home, Ki Tae just breaks down in both relief and fear. His separation anxiety is so extreme that it can and does render him useless, panicking and anxious he is frantic and unable to calm down again until he sees that Wan hadn’t left him without a word again like he did when they were teenagers. I saw some people calling him possessive, but it’s not that, it’s bone deep trauma induced fear and that kind of fear leaves very little room for rationality. That scene pulled the rug out from under my feet, stole the air from my lungs and shitposted about me on social media. I felt personally attacked by that scene because I have the same kind of separation anxiety with someone in my life that will and can cause me to just sob if I don’t see them enough, that fear of abandonment and anxiety that you’re replaceable is so deeply ingrained that it’s hard not to lose yourself to it.

While it might not be considered a traditional ‘love’ scene, it’s definitely a scene that is based on a deep love and the fear of losing that love. It was just; 🥺
