And these critics/comments are really hypocritical too, because I don't know a single Korean drama that don't…
Your priorities are backwards
Explicit content is more objectifying and problematic, it leaves nothing to the imagination, nothing to the mind's eye, nothing to the suggestive power of words. "Here’s my body, come objectify it!"
It's the final nail in the coffin of degrading people to the status of a mere object for the gratification of the audience
Whereas implicit content tiptoes around objectification and gets the message across without showing anything. "I’ll tell a story and maybe my abs will make a cameo appearance"
A hint of a suggestive image can't be worse than the explicit, clear objectification happening in front of your eyes
"It's like 5 minutes at most for all four episodes"
5 minutes of objectification, and that's 5 minutes more than it should be
"... pretending that Korean dramas are pure and innocent"
I'm not under the delusion that most Kdramas are pure, they're not
"We can argument and complain about your puritanism on the subject"
You can (did). And we can complain and treat your hedonism or society's hypersexuality with skepticism. "Puritanism" isn't something to be frowned upon. Puritans have a level of self-control and decency that's hard to find these days
I don't think the people you are referring to,are angry because of the fact that some people are disappointed…
From what I've seen, the people who have a problem with nudity and "sex" scenes were being called names like "childish," "immature," etc, and put down before anyone was called a "porn addict"
One side says, "you're childish!" and the other side says, "you're childish and a porn addict!" and it's going back and forth. It's time for the two sides to take a deep breath and have a civil conversation
"NSFW" stands for "Not Safe For Work," it's a term used to warn people that the content they consume is inappropriate for the workplace (or other public places)
OPINION wtf this drama clearly is NSFW and is tagged as such. why tf are ppl hating on that? y'all don't say the…
A drama that's tagged as NSFW isn't immune to criticism
Many Kdrama fans are sick and tired of the NSFW scenes in Western content, they jumped ship to Asian content with the hope of a more wholesome viewing experience. When they discovered naughty scenes in their beloved Kdramas, they couldn't help but feel betrayed. Naturally, they'd want to air their grievances on the platform they turned to
the nudity isn't the issue, the maturity of the viewers is the issue.
Do you believe maturity is about ignoring the things you don't like and moving on? Then it's immature to complain about other people's complaints. A mature person would ignore our negative comments and move on
Maturity is standing up for what we believe in, even if it means getting into heated debates over the merits of nudity and "sex" scenes
I don’t know how to tell you guys this but the show having less ratings because of the UNNECESSARY nudity is…
Bravo, the heavy-handed approach to "adult content" is bound to negatively affect ratings and reception. Producers might've done it on purpose, thinking the best way to get attention for their content was to go for the shock factor and spark passionate reactions
Commenters should be able to express their disdain for on-screen nudity and "sex," it's their opinion. They shouldn't keep quiet about it
People bumping uglies, taking a leak and hurling their guts out are all natural acts, we don't have to be keen on seeing their gory details to know they are a thing
"Don't like it, don't watch it, the drama warned you." The same logic applies to the comments section. The comments section comes with an unspoken warning: "you might not like what you see here, proceed at your own risk. Not responsible for any hurt feelings caused by differing opinions"
Can't handle the heat? Stay out of the comments kitchen
Not everyone wants a side of "explicit" with their Korean movie/drama night. Some adults prefer more subtlety…
Watching something 18+ doesn't mean I'll turn off my brain and accept whatever the creators throw at me
In a society where creators shirk responsibility for their content, I will likewise shirk responsibility for my reactions. Should I start cursing them out, going ballistic and setting things on fire, don't say I didn't warn you
i Must be getting old coz i dont find the sex scenes super-shocking like some people here. Watch Game of Thrones.…
If porn is supposed to open our eyes to a world beyond, why does it always show the same thing? People having "sex," in the same positions, with the same people. I could predict every plot twist with my eyes closed: guy meets girl, they engage in sweaty, grunting, skin-on-skin action, the end
Is that the best the internet has to offer? Where's the variety?
Korean movies have some of the most exclipt sex scenes, always... So yes, you do sound childish complaint about…
Not everyone wants a side of "explicit" with their Korean movie/drama night. Some adults prefer more subtlety and class in their entertainment. That's not childish
Two seconds? More like two hours of therapy to scrub explicit images from the mind. Creators have a responsibility to their audience. They're not creating content for themselves, they're putting it out into the world for us to consume. Once they do that, they should take into account the effect their content will have on viewers
"Sex" doesn't have to be explicit. A glance here, or a sultry line of dialogue there would acknowledge that "sex" exists without hitting us over the head with it
They are totally fine showing extreme violence, but not sex. You can tell what has more value publically. All…
"Extreme violence" can be sexy. Someone beating up someone else is foreplay for the mind. We could be consistent and criticize "extreme violence" and "(extreme) sexual content"
Is 5 seconds what it takes to make something okay? Then I'm going to go rob a bank and tell the judge it's okay, I was in there for 5 seconds

You nailed it with the "taking a dump" analogy yourself. I’m sure in a post, you would've done a better job summarizing the same points

You're grasping at straws to shift the focus from your own misdeeds
I've been in this comments section for a day. My criticism of the drama is a spark in a tinderbox, I'm hardly setting fire to things
Edit: other people letting my comments influence their watchlist or opinions isn't my problem

Is that the best the internet has to offer? Where's the variety?
I can't stand "straight" scenes or "straight" identifying people. To me, they're a bad case of food poisoning and make my stomach churn, so we're even
