Everyone Should Watch Heesu in Class 2

I am here to yell because there is an excellent Korean BL airing right now and hardly anyone is watching it. There was some confusion in the promo of this show and so folks weren't sure whether it was properly queer or would have a gay romance, but after the first two episodes I can assure you that the answer to both is YES.

We have a classic love rhombus on our hands with this show, and the first two episodes set up all the relationships masterfully. Our protagonist, Heesu, has a crush on his best friend, Chanyoung, who definitely loves him but Not Like That (the boy is as straight as an arrow). Meanwhile, the quiet, studious Seongwon is crushing on an oblivious Heesu, but Heesu thinks Seongwon likes cool girl Jiyu, who actually likes Chanyoung. Heesu wants to help Seongwon get Jiyu while Seongwon is pursuing an oblivious Heesu and Jiyu and Chanyoung are crushing on each other. It's glorious teen mess.

The show is utterly charming, anchored by a very strong and funny performance from Ahn Ji Ho as Heesu, a sweet but oblivious kid who gives relationship advice to his peers despite understanding very little about romance and struggling to read signals from the people around him. But what he lacks in experience and awareness he makes up in earnest sincerity, as a younger brother of three sisters who genuinely cares about the people around him and their feelings.

This is one of those classic Korean romcoms where everyone is likable and you just want them all to be happy, one way or another. The show has high production values, the writing has strong source material underpinning it, and the story feels confident about what it's doing. I hope others will jump on this one; it deserves an audience!

What am I supposed to do with all this love I have for him?

Wooyoung is standing on business when it comes to that one choreographer dude and now blinks are mad at him lol.

[mar19o5a]

Since no one posted the actual clip yet from what I've seen - here ya go. It's been over two years now and he's rightfully still angry. (Video Source)

As a quick reminder: Vata stole the move while he was on Street Man Fighter, and after Wooyoung made the biting move during a performance to subtly call him out, Anze Skrube (one of the Say My Name choreographers) called out Vata full on for stealing the entire driving sequence - something that doesn't just happen on accident.

He also specifically named Josh Smith as the original creator of the driving move, saying it was created in 2018 specifically to be used by Ateez the following year.

Upon getting called out, Vata came in with this sad little excuse:

"I think the choreography its being compared to has a different transition and means something different entirely. As someone who loves the dance culture, I believe it is at its best when the artist and dancer respect one another. It saddens me to see that this isn’t taking place."

After all this happened and while Vata was still on Street Man Fighter, it came out that other dancers had previously also accused him of stealing their moves while on the show, meaning this wasn't even an isolated incident - he's likely a serial plagiarizer.

And despite all of that, the guy still has a career and is now the one behind Jennie's Like Jennie choreo. So yeah... Wooyoung and all who care about protecting artists' rights, should still be mad about this.

(I've seen many different takes on this post floating around recently, and I wasn't explicitly tagged, but I wanted to make my own anyway. ✌)

The thing is... I am, at this point, Very In My Thirties, and while there are a few young stars I do find attractive, I have at least a decade on most of those QL babes. The oldest among them are just north of 30. And I'm not a parent myself, but for the fresh-out-of-high-school set, the math technically checks out. It... kind of changes my perspective on things. 😅

But I'm also bi/pan and allo, so I get it! There are many, many, MANY pretty people in the Asian QL entertainment industry, and I'm not shaming anyone for being thirsty. Go off, y'all, you have my blessing. 🙌 (And for every ace/demi/aroace person I've seen posting this with disclaimers about 'I Think These People Are Probably Attractive Even If I Don't Really Go Here'... you are the best and funniest and I love you so much. 🥰)

So, do I want the QL Kids carnally? Eh. 🤷‍♀️

Their parents, however...

And so, inspired in no small part by @dribs-and-drabbles' Mature Asian QL-verse World Heritage Post and its many reblogs, I give you:

i do not comprehend Yunho as a concept of a person. he is an insane singer, dancer and music stage actor. he is so handsome it makes most people genuinely angry. he is a clown. he is strict and won't let a younger man not call him hyung. he never gets angry and is as kind as if he was made of sunlight. he is a whore. he gets shy when people compliment him. he is a catholic going to mass at every city of european tour. he flirts with men like it's second breathing. he panics when men initiate flirting with him. he is the biggest fan of witnessing gay activities. he calls himself ateez's boyfriend. he is a memelord. he has a deep masculine voice. he is the tallest member and one half of rpf pair officially company-named "twin towers". his daily clothing style is instagram library boyfriend. he rocked sparkly long acrylic nails for a whole comeback. he is a diva and down to queen out anytime. who made him

[mar19o5a]

Not only is this the hottest Yunho has ever looked, but it's MINGI who's making him laugh like that...

[mar19o5a]

seonghwa... have mercy on me

[mar19o5a]

Without a doubt one of the funniest moments.

Fever Road gave us so much (cries in Wanteez)

[mar19o5a]

As a devoted fan of PeteKao, I cannot express how excited I am to see TayNew going back to their roots of “I hate you, but in a sexual, obsessed-with-you way” later this year in “A Dog and a Plane.”

Long live my chaos idiots. ✊🐳🐻‍❄️

[mar19o5a]

Yunho cutting his birthday cake with Seonghwa's Wonderland sword! This was a really cute moment! His little sound effects 😭

[mar19o5a]

Mingi 😭😂 I don't even think it's on purpose, I think he's still oblivious to how large and intimidating he comes off to strangers when he does things in his usual straightforward manner. Like, yes, you need to see my face? Let me get all 6' of me right up next to you.
