Remember when Seo In Guk claimed that Infinite′s Hoya′s character on tvN’s Reply 1997 would have a surprising twist during the press conference?
That surprise twist came early - Hoya fans, prepare yourselves - Hoya′s character, Joon Hee, is gay.
Ever since episode one, Joon Hee had shown a very feminine and motherly behavior, taking good care of his friends throughout the drama.
On episode three, aired on July 31, Joon Hee confesses to Si Won (Jung Eun Ji) over chat that he actually likes Yoon Jae (Seo In Guk). While shocked, Si Won accepts her friend as he is and keeps his sexual preference a secret.
With Yoon Jae misunderstanding that there is a romantic relationship going on between Si Won and Joon Hee, an interesting plot is expected to happen with Yoon Jae liking Si Won and Joon Hee liking Yoon Jae.
Reply 1997 airs every Tuesday night on tvN.

Date: 2012-08-01 02:17 pm (UTC)Aside from all this, too, I really liked the first two episodes. Tho I had to watch it raw after reading Dramabeans' recap. It needs to be subbed :( but tvN is out to get my soul, with all those great dramas, apparently.

I hope the response is good, I really hope they actually explore the issues surrounding sexuality in society too, and lets hope he gets some love back cuz it can be a lonely existence;_;

Date: 2012-08-01 04:27 pm (UTC)And I agree with you. I love that Woolim's so cool about their idols putting out ambiguously gay MV's and taking on gay roles. Makes them even more awesome in my book.

Date: 2012-08-01 04:22 pm (UTC)I'm not even just fangirling over the gay, I love really love the fact that he (as an idol in Korea among many 'no homo' idols) is playing a gay character AND in his first movie role. If he wasn't Korean and this wasn't a Korean drama and I didn't know who he was, I'd think he was an alum of Tenimyu. I'm reminded of that post on kpopsecrets by a gay fan who respected Infinite because they didn't discriminate against gay fans.
Makes me love him and them even more. My waning attention span regarding Infinite and Infinite related news has been strengthened once again! Hoorah.

no subject
Date: 2012-08-01 05:17 pm (UTC)I had no intention of watching this drama in the immediate future, maybe when it comes out on DVD or something, but I'm experiencing a dramatic change of heart FOR SOME REASON COUGH COUGH WINK WINK
no subject
Date: 2012-08-01 04:53 pm (UTC)also, the feminine bit irked me as well, but in the presscons, ep, bts, etc. i've watched, they all describe joonhee's character as detailed rather than feminine or whatever, so hopefully it was just something only singular to this article
no subject
Date: 2012-08-01 05:14 pm (UTC)While I get that it's a stereotype and not all gay guys are like that, people like that do exist.
There'd be nothing wrong with a feminine gay guy as a character, as long as it's done tastefully and not just played up for laughs.

well, this only makes me smile. it makes me believe Hoya is actually very comfortable with the whole homosexuality issue and doesn't mind playing it :3
maybe, just maybe I'll watch this drama...idk
