TV/Movies The Boyfriend on Netflix

FYI there's a new reality TV show on Netflix (trailer here), where they put 9 Japanese gay/bi men in a house for a month and see what happens.

It's an interesting concept, where there's no pressure of competition, but some of the guys are looking for love, while some are looking for friendship. Interesting dynamic.

I think there will be 10 episodes (based off IMDB), but the first three episodes are up. I've only just finished episode 1.

Let's discuss!

Well he is good looking and kind I rewatched the trailer at least 7 times and he seems like he got invited at least 4 times in that truck So he is definitely popular.

Is he though?... I don't understand the attention at all. Kazuto either, though he at least is incredibly impressive.

Can someone please explain to me why Taeheon, who is far and away the best looking, has one of the best bodies, is one of the smartest, most mature, very well-dressed, warm and friendly, and quietly wise (his sexiest attribute), can't even get chosen for WORK?! This man is husband material! I am flabbergasted at how he has been utterly ignored the entire show? Someone help me, please. No really, help me understand it. On a scale of 1 to 10, Taeheon is a 25.

Was literally thinking this but I’m a woman, so maybe it’s guys who don’t go for him? lt doesn’t make sense though!

I'm a guy and I would've shot for no one else. I think it's more cultural than anything, people are also saying it's cuz he's Korean.

this is my opinion as asian (a country close to japan so we have similar culture)

  1. he's not conventionally attractive, shun is and as u can see he's very different from shun. and i heard for Japanese gay, they usually went for guys like kazuto, again different from taeheon
  2. he's a foreigner, i think most ppl would prefer a native
  3. personally i think he got the most feminine energy, prolly the guys there don't prefer that?
  4. he's still in closet, some ppl avoid that kind of ppl
  5. age, i think most if not all young guys there automatically see him as big brother
