Mr.Miss

Apr 7, 2021

Mr. Miss is an unfortunate example of good plot, terrible execution. Instead of dealing with themes of being outed against your will the author chooses to go the old clique road of "straight x gay" BL trope (wtf does that even mean btw) to the point it gets repetitive, everyone except the MC insists that he's confused about his sexuality and he's actually "straight" which is quite belittling because it implies that MC (jaemin) is unable to comprehend his own attraction. I would like to see more emotional investment into Juho's character and how trauma of being outed and shunned by his in circle has shaped him mentally, but given the track record of BL I'm not going to hold my breath

I'm so glad someone agrees with me on this like I'm just so tired of this webtoons bringing in the "oh he's not gay" trope, I mean if someone loves that person, gender shouldn't matter!!
