Park Min Jun 09 2024 7:58 pm No rhyme or reason, just brief snippets of typical Korean societal issues that doesn't add or explore anything meaningful, interesting or insightful. It seems this was green lit just to be categorized under a label, as if that alone is enough.

Jm May 09 2020 12:54 pm I do think that KBS should reupload this movie.. It’s finished, right? but they just uploaded 1 episode because they’re afraid of backlash. But I do appreciate the director, writer and the celebrities and even the owner of KBS for letting the movie get published within such homophobic nation. But atleast, they should reupload this because we deserve to see all of it’s episodes.. I think it’s a masterpiece and I can’t get over of how cool Han Go Eun here and how open minded this movie seems.. I’m heartbroken because I had to live like a gay woman.. and now, I can’t take my eyes off cool woman. and I’m stanning people in Korea who’s impossible to be part of my community.. aish. If y’all just experience being gay then you would understand us.. especially those knetizens who bashed the movie.

sally_loveKris Jun 27 2015 1:55 pm i don't know why does people think LGBT is disgusting...this episodes are very heart touching ..although i'm straight, but still i don't think it's disgusting people have a right to love anyone . again thins drama was truly something ..i loved it

MayMay May 23 2015 9:15 am Aughhhh! IDK WHERE I COULD WATCH THIS COMFORTABLY. I'm somewhat picky about what websites I use to watch dramas, and the two that I use most don't have it D: Omg I wanna watch this drama so much...

Lulu Jan 11 2015 10:33 pm i bet all the closeted lesbians in SK were secretly watching this

Viewer Apr 23 2013 1:14 am This is a really important drama for young people and parents to watch, especially if they are struggling with acceptance. Even if just the one episode, it is something to hold on to... This precious drama was very good and acting was great. Another good one, for gay men, is "Just Friends?"

Bananas Mar 16 2013 3:50 pm This was a really great drama. It's sad that it got such a public backlash, but the fact that it was made and aired is a good sign.

In Su Oct 27 2012 12:37 pm At least KBS had the guts to put money into this project... still there was NO kissing. For kissing see SBS series "Painter of the Wind" aka 'Garden of Wind' or...

Francisco Sep 29 2012 5:06 pm What an incredible drama. It was very well done and the actresses carried out their parts realistically. It is truly disheartening for the human race as a whole that some individuals see this as "disgusting". The fact that these heinous prejudices proceed to exist in a developed country like South Korea is what I see as "disgusting". The woman who complained to KBS that this show is "a crime to humanity" left my jaw open in shock. I hope that one day she will realize that her thinking is what should be considered a crime against humanity. The mere fact that those words dared to pass her lips should be considered a crime against humanity, for if we continue to harbor such feelings and continue to oppress gays and lesbians in such a manner, we will never truly be able to move pass this ancient way of hatred. It is such a travesty that a young lesbian woman must live as something she is not because of what society deems is correct...if she even has the will to live through the harassment. Who has the right to deem these behaviors as immoral or wrong? If all the individuals with this hatred get to wear the shoes of the oppressed and feel how it is to have your rights taken from you from being who you are and for doing something that is not even the slightest bit wrong, I would like to see how they would respond to that situation. South Korea needs a major LGBT movement and sooner better than later. At this point in human history, there is no excuse to subject other human beings to these prejudices in what one would consider a "developed" nation.

In closing, it is a damn shame that KBS caved under the pressure of a mass of ignorant people and canceled such a beautifully done program. I hope that someone with enough courage decides to revive the project, or a similar one, in the future to continue raising awareness of the prejudices that are going on in that country. The older generation may be set in their ignorant ways, but with hope, the newer generation will be able to think for themselves (not by having their minds "infected" as the opponents astoundingly believe) and make a decision as a group for the betterment of human rights in the nation. 10/10 for Daughters of Club Bilitis.

Dalelmckenzie Dec 27 2011 8:57 pm You can find the full episode on youtube with subs in various languages. South Korea is still very much unaware of the differences people are born with, they still treat homosexuality, bisexuality, etc. as infectious diseases. You can't choose what skin color you're born with, you can't decide what parents you have, you can't select what sex you'll be, and you can't determine who you'll be attracted to. I've watched the entire show and it disappoints me how offended people can get over something so harmless. There is no violence, profanity, drugs, sex, or any seemingly objectionable content. They just endeavor to present a realistic portrayal of how lesbians are treated in South Korea. There isn't even a single kiss! But there are loads of tears as these women come to grips with the fact a modern South Korea is still alarmingly prejudiced, and if they are brave enough to tell the truth they risk losing their families, jobs, education, friends, and much more. So they hide how they really feel in fear of mistreatment. It's devastating, and it's true. I can't imagine having to live like that. How suffocating it would be having to pretend for your entire life. It's ridiculous that they find their children should be shielded from this, what's the harm? I'm 16 and I identify as straight. I saw the show and I'm just as straight as I was two weeks prior. But it must be noted that the fact this drama was even produced and aired is a gigantic leap in progress for South Korea. Years back the very idea would have spurred riots. And all props go to KBS, they undoubtedly realized that there would be disagreements and backlash, but they still went for it. Hopefully South Korea will continue on this path, and will reach a day when those who were born different can breath easy and live as human beings instead of in fear.

mkt Nov 02 2011 6:42 pm This is the most amazing show I have ever watched. It was really touching and I'm sad that they had to cancel it. I cried so freaking hard in this drama. I wish South Korea was more accepting ~ <3

Porkie Oct 18 2011 9:31 am That was really good. I cried so hard. :">

It's love, no matter who you love. I don't understand how people can hate something so beautiful.

I wish Korea was more accepting of homosexuality so that KBS could continue this drama.

(Coming from a 13 year old who isn't supposed to watch this.)

Ponalen Oct 12 2011 6:20 am Where can I watch or download it? It's interesting topic in this modern world.

Jake Oct 02 2011 7:44 pm most asian countries still hold on to their cultural roots. but homophobic is wrong. is just as bad as racism.

diana morales Sep 07 2011 4:58 pm south and north korea are homophobic. this is awful!!! That's why the world is like this, people are intolerante, hypocritical, racist and materialistic; think only of themselves, so-called Korea a country, peaceful, healthy, unclean people think. They are so closed mind and do not respect the people who are homosexual. truth as the country leaves a lot to say. Everything nice is going away, just to be egocentric, racist and homophobic.

binoki444 Sep 06 2011 3:38 pm wat the hell is this drama????????????? ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww i can't believing korean broadcasting such a disgusting things like dis there is no benefit of it it just will teach pplz bad behaviour and our god will get from them like how he did in japan so be careful korean and stop broadcasting such ugly drama like dis no body like sumfink like dissssssssssssss its prohibited and i hink its usele

True Image Aug 28 2011 8:19 pm It has the full one episode in youtube.

anna Aug 22 2011 4:43 am korea should wake up!!! just like every other country that's still homophobic these days! what about a tolerant world? i thought this is 2011 and not 1950 -.- this is one part of asia i really dislike!!! LAME!

Midori Aug 20 2011 5:26 pm Are koreans criticizing this?.. how sad.. But its true. So many homophobics in South Korea. Suuuuucks. gay's are just human too!!!!!!!

mochii Aug 10 2011 4:57 am oh my oh my... can't wait for this

Nami A. Aug 09 2011 12:51 pm It's because to most Koreans (95%), homosexuality does not exist and any attempt to prove that it is, is sinful. :I Yeah, I would know.

notallkoreansarelame Aug 08 2011 11:39 pm What's wrong with the korean people? I thought they're accepting and open minded? All they do is criticize this show. I bet this drama would be awesome.

Nikki Aug 08 2011 7:08 am Don't worr, the first episode just aired yesterday I think, so it will be available somewhere soon.

C.C. Aug 08 2011 12:45 am Anyone know where I can watch this????? I REALLY WANT 2!!!! O.O *desperate girl*
