If anyone one likes the genre of gay/lesbian. You might be interested in Last Friendsm its a j-drama. Damn awesome—hard topics. Great actress Juri. Abuse, gay, lesbian, sexual harrasment, very deep drama. Enjoy

Hatred is a sin, so how can love be one too?

“As I shared strong relationships with friends, I started to understand love for a person that goes beyond gender. ” <– That's true love, and true love is real happiness, and happiness makes people good and kind people, so stop trying to decide what/who/how other people should love and live their lives!!!

@Rickshot: I think you're wrong though.. Actually It being a gay character is one of the reasons I watch it. I'm kind of tired of all the "girl get guy" dramas, since the girl is so stereotyped in most of the dramas. The girl has to be a girly, pretty and usually one who can't take care of herself girlfriend, rather than a best friend and girlfriend at the same time. I'm curious to see if they can make the two in the couple more equal if it's a gay couple..
I have just started watching it though.. so I don't know if there will be any difference.

I’m really sad to know that there are still people who fight against things that they don’t understand. I’m crying while typing this… even though probably no one cares. You don’t know how hard you HOMOPHOBES make our lifes… why? Am I harming you? No…

I’m a good person and I know that.
Too bad that there are people like YOU HOMOPHOBES who are still narrow minded.

@ someone, dianah

I think its very sad to get angry at, overlook or disrespect someone who is family just because they may choose not to have children and ‘continue the bloodline’ – whatever the gender. That’s treating the person as a tool for your own satisfaction as opposed to their own being with their own choices to make. @dianah – what if the daughter you are talking about decides having children isn’t right for her? Is that really enough of a reason to abandon all ties and stop loving her? Despicable

@ Rickshot

“i’m pretty sure a majority of the viewers (including myself) will be turned off by this. we watch dramas to see the guy get the girl. simple. leave the alternative lifestyles to the movies. its like going into the ratings battle with a handicapp, i am pretty sure this show wont win over many viewers just because of that character alone.”

Do not conclude something that is solely based on what you believe in. And it is ridiculous to say that this drama will not be patronized by the viewers, (please see their ratings: http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Life_is_Beautiful/Episode_Ratings ), the drama’s ratings are quite high. And if you only anticipate that kind of storyline wherein the guy gets the girl in the last part, well then there’s no point in watching any dramas at all, considering your monotonous and boring drama proposition.

@ GaRa

I keep imagining that if Adam and Eve were gay or if the Big Bang didn’t create us into beings who can only make children if we have a male and female in a pair.. then none of us would exist really.”

This argument does not make any sense. First of all, you are only speaking in behalf of the Christianity religion who believes in the Bible, NOT the whole world. See, muslims, buddhists, etc. have no belief in either Adam or Eve! And another important thing, what if Adam and Eve did not have sexual intercourse (not because they’re gay, they just didn’t feel like it or they haven’t met in that garden), will you still exist today?

@ Rickshot

“I’m all for accepting people for who they are if they have good reason to be the way they are.”

Gays are part of this world which God made. That reason ain’t good enough? If it isn’t, I suggest you take a rehab.

I am not gay. Neither am I a proud supporter. I just want to defend them against ridiculous misconceptions narrow-minded people make, because I know a lot of people who are gay and many of my friends are. And I definitely understand how they feel. It’s not like they really wanted to become what they are, so why the hell hate them?

I agree about what are you expressing. At one time, I was one who didn’t care much about this either. But few months back, my nephew had a relationship with one of his guy friend which really upset his parents, my sister. Being so close, I am the only one she seeks for comfort aside from her quick tempered husband.

There are times when people should support things like this but not so openly like now. Because this thing is becoming more and more open, young generation will have less opportuniy to return to the right path, which in my opinion coupled as a man and woman. Our society should never promote this thing so widely. The kid watches it!

Lucky for my sister, she has another daughter. Their generation will continue.

BUT let say this things happen to OUR SON??. Take him is the only son, we want an heir at that. What would you say then??
