Same old Jazz

*Introduction*
South korean are master of productions, in tv drama land they are lack of soul and meaning,
that is why kdrama never reveal the truth in any story, it's only a formula without a soul or a real human beings behind it.
, in streight drama you have 16 episode, (here you get 8 episodes because it's "gay drama") the story line is repetative : first hate than confuse and at the end confession and a kiss.

*Story*
A poor boy called Gook , hired as a bodyguard for Han Tae Joo , they are " friends "15 years.
Han Tae Joo father is a mafia leader, (presented as a "family business ceo " and "strict parents" at vikii "about" and it's very interesting ...why they not writing "mafia",and criminals?!

They have attraction between tham and we don't really know if the are gay or not, if they love each other or not. this last until episode 6 when Han Tae Joo confess. but ! Gook that loves him all a long attack him instead of confessing too about his love. it's only happned suddenly in episode 7, but he isn't confess to Han Tae Joo, he confess to a girl instead. there are also playing in martial art so they have some interaction with each other, they are sleeping together in the same bed and also Gook washing HTJ onces and get those feelings of attractions
and yet..

With all that attraction and touching and sleeping in the same bed!!! they are not in physical relationship, they not confessing and they are not revealing their mind. they are very "strong." "superhumans"

So we have here lack of comunication, but we have something really really important.
we so called human beings without real emotions and desires.

Episode 6 is the proove that it's all fake. episodes 7&8 we can clearly watch the formula. the mafia peresnt sending his son to UK, after 3 years he cam back to sk and have a small kiss with Gook and without any future in sight.

Overall conclusions from the drama:
1. They are porotrait as superhumans, lacking of emotions and desires, the road to be real is not insight, they need to suffer until they get love or find love.
2. The violence is part of the journey, if you getting near you get some panch, you don't talk, you fight
3. For being gay you need to suffer, it's not natural, you need to go through stage when you can admit your feelings and suppress them until you can't anymore. this is save for the last moment.
4.You can't get real happy couple scenes
