his behaviour is not norm teenage behaviour. sorry but to say that to someone’s face like that even in another…
Did i defend his behaviour?? Did i ever say he shouldnt be corrected?? At least read the entire thing before making comments.
"What Daniel said and did toward Jun Gyeong is not acceptable and should not be excused. However, what’s needed now is communication. Jun Gyeong should take this issue to his father and help him understand what Daniel is feeling. Both of them need to make him feel secure, included, and at home. The father, especially, needs to confront the situation with patience and have mature, reassuring conversations so the boy doesn’t feel abandoned all over again.”
This was literally my last para, where i clearly wrote that his behaviour is not excusable, it was completely wrong, and he does need to be corrected but in a more mature way.
yess it's strange but realistic not every character is sweet and innocent type and this is what I'm liking abt…
I agree that her initial stance on love was very cold nd she fell for Dohyun very quickly. However i think her situation at that time needs to be taken into consideration. She was in a very fragile state, her mother had died nd from the time of the accident (of her mother) until her death, Jun gyeong was extremely rude and harsh toward her. Because of that, she was overwhelmed with guilt, sadness and a mix of intense emotions and she was extremely lonely. At the same time, Dohyun came into her life as a source of support, someone who eased her loneliness and gave her hope in an otherwise depressed, isolated phase of her life. Thats why she fell for him so quickly.
You can see the same pattern with her father as well, in how quickly he fell for Ja yeong. He was going through a similar situation, losing his wife, grieving her, living in loneliness and being deeply depressed. Thats when Ja yeong entered his life and he naturally leaned on her and fell for her. When people are in a fragile, lonely and depressed state, it doesnt take long for them to develop feelings for someone who offers them hope. They cling to that hope and gradually start leaning on the other person.
I personally feel like the amount of hatred and vitriol Daniel shows towards Junkyung far extends the anger and…
Many people irl say even worse things than what he said. Teenagers are often far more immature in that regard. Its only in dramas that we expect everyone to behave ideally. Just take a look at social media and the internet, people say extremely vulgar and bitter things to strangers they dont even know, often without any reason. Thats how the real world behaves.
Im in no way defending what he said. What im trying to say is that yes, people do react and say such things, sometimes even more harshly. But what a drama can show is how Daniel’s father and Jun Gyeong handle the situation maturely. What Daniel did & said was completely wrong and the situation needs to be handled through mature conversations. He is in a fragile phase and at this age, adults can either help shape him into a better person or completely break a teenager who is still forming who he will become in the future. What he said was absolutely wrong and he needs to be corrected but it should be handled in a more mature way.
What is the son’s problem? Guy has never even lived with his father yet and is being a grade A douche to his…
What Daniel said to Jun Gyeong was definitely uncalled for and harsh. But at the same time, we should also look at how Jun Gyeong herself reacted to Ja Yeong when Ja Yeong came to meet her. Did Jun Gyeong accept her?? No, she was harsh as well.
Both of them reacted negatively to the idea of a soon to be stepmother. The difference lies only in the way they expressed it, not in the emotion itself. To understand that difference, we need to consider their age, maturity, life experience and background.
Jun Gyeong is a mature woman in her mid 30s. On the other hand, Daniel is a teenager who grew up with a single parent in a western country. He was born out of mistake his parents committed in very early age, later raised in a different culture and eventually began to feel excluded when his mother moved on and had her own boyfriend. He stopped feeling like he belonged or had a home. Thats when he ran away and came to korea to meet his estranged father someone he had never met before, hoping that he would finally feel included somewhere. Instead, he finds that his father also has a girlfriend and seems happy with her. This brings back the same insecurities he felt earlier, not being a priority and not being included. That emotional wound is what triggered his reaction.
Now compare this with Jun Gyeong’s situation. She grew up with loving parents, yet after the accident she began behaving rudely toward her mother and eventually ran away from home. After her mother's death, when her father moves on and introduces his girlfriend, Jun Gyeong’s reaction is not very different from the Daniel's. The only real difference is that she expresses it in a more controlled manner because she is older and emotionally more mature.
This kind of reaction is actually very common. When children, regardless of age, see their parents separate or move on with new partners, insecurity is a natural response. Most people dont take it positively, at least not initially. Thats just how real life works.

Does anyone know why the reporter from the initial episodes reappeared as that youtuber’s attorney in E7?? Even Dawit said that he looked quite familiar. Is there any reason for this??
It wasnt explained properly. Evn if she died there, it doesn't matter bcz past min suk was already there and since…
I think she vanished in that explosion, she saved Sang Ung and totally changed the future, so past min suk don't have to go back to the time to save Sang Ung. We can say that future min suk died/vanished in that explosion.
idk if I missed it or it wasn't explained but what happened to Min Suk that went back in time?? did she die in…
It wasnt explained properly. Evn if she died there, it doesn't matter bcz past min suk was already there and since Sang Ung didn't die in future she don't have to go back in time to save him, so she is safe.
Cashero was a really fun drama to watch. It was fast paced and packed with twists and turns and almost every episode kept things exciting. There was so much action and unpredictability in each episode that it naturally made you want to continue watching the next one. Overall it was very binge worthy, with a proper runtime and a well balanced number of episodes.
Ofcourse, it wasnt perfect. The logic didnt always hold up and the CGI felt weak in some scenes but it was still enjoyable enough to not ruin the experience. Other than that, one thing i disliked in the drama was Sang Ung’s father. He sold him out to that loan shark lady and put him through so much trouble by forcing those superpowers onto him.
Despite its flaws, the drama was thoroughly entertaining and remained engaging from start to finish.
Wtf! So the man gets away with rape because he was drunk and that mindset of countryside people who don't think…
Leave the developed and developing country debate aside for a moment, just go through the epstein files and you will realize how deeply rotten society is everywhere. This isnt about economic status or development, its about power and how it operates.
The only real difference is that developed countries are far better at covering up their crimes, while in developing and underdeveloped nations, these realities are more exposed and visible.
What this case showed was already disturbing but the real world is far more brutal and unforgiving even in countries that proudly call themselves developed.
This new case touched on several sensitive issues such as domestic abuse, child sexual abuse and also shed light on the lives of immigrants in south korea. Kaya, a foreign woman, experienced sexual abuse at a very young age in her home country. She later gave birth and ran away to a foreign land to escape that trauma and start a fresh life, only to face a similar situation again in different a country.
The case initially started as a simple divorce case between a woman from foreign land and a korean man but it gradually became more complex, revealing many harsh realities. The story also offered insight into the structural weaknesses of the korean judicial system, showing how influence and hierarchy can sometimes shape outcomes. One thing i really like about kdramas is that they dare to question their own institutions and systems, without fear (something i also noticed in DP) while openly highlighting the realities of their own country.
In the end, the case was won by the victim, kaya but it was far from an easy victory. While i may not agree with some of the logic used to resolve the case, it was still very powerful with many twists and turns.
At the same time, while kaya is clearly portrayed as a victim, i personally found it difficult to fully understand her decision to marry retard man. This thing raises questions about whether the marriage was influenced by the need for security or legal citizenship. It also questions her character, showing that her decisions were shaped by circumstance and survival rather than presenting her as entirely faultless.
However, this complexity does not diminish the seriousness of what she endured. Regardless of her personal choices, the actions of her father in law were unquestionably wrong. Sexual abuse remains a grave offense and accountability is essential. The drama carefully conveys that a person can make questionable decisions and still deserve justice and protection.
One subtle message they tried to convey through kaya’s case, especially to foreign women, including kdrama and kpop fangirls, is that south korea is not the dreamy fairytale often portrayed in romance kdramas. The reality is very different. Like any other country, it has both good and bad people. Kaya herself was a kdrama fan who believed her dreamlike vision of korea would come true, only to have that illusion shattered. Overall, it was a thoughtful and impactful case.
This drama tackles several powerful cases centered on sensitive social issues. It begins on a strong note, develops each case effectively and maintains a highly engaging narrative throughout. Although there are moments where the logic feels shaky or the conclusions come across as somewhat unrealistic but the drama consistently tries to leave the audience with some sense of hope. Despite its flaws, its very engaging so far.
Watched the pilot episodes and it has very similar vibes to My Youth but the story is written in a much more mature way here. I liked the first 2 eps so i just hope it wont fumble later the way My Youth did.
FL is kind of unlikable here. She blames herself for the accident that happened to her mother years ago and ran away from home. She doesnt meet her family often, and even when she does, she never really talks properly with them. Even on her mother’s last day, the day she passed away, FL was really harsh toward her. At times, i felt her mother deserved a better daughter.
The emotional core of this series is quite strong and at least so far, its right up my alley. Hopefully, it stays as good as the first 2 eps for the rest of the series.
Movie was really good. I went in expecting a simple survival film based on a flood but there were so many unexpected elements. I didnt expect it to venture into the scifi genre at all. On top of that, several unpredictable ideas were introduced, like asteroid hitting Antarctica, the emergence of a new human race, time loops and creating memories through virtual experiences.
The scifi aspect was decent/ok, though there are still many things i didnt fully understand. However, the emotional core of the movie lies in the bond between the mother and child. Their entire story arc was devastating and it really made me sad at times.
Overall, the movie was great even though i didnt fully grasp some of the scifi elements or they felt underexplained due to time constraints. It probably would have worked even better as a 6 episode mini series exploring all these ideas.
Idk about others but the ending worked for me. You can interpret the ending in two ways. One possibility is that its intentionally left open to set up a potential S2. The other is that this is simply Ahjin’s story, she survives, disappears and continues her cycle of manipulation and calculation somewhere else. For a character like her, that interpretation feels very fitting.
Even if S2 never gets made, the second interpretation still aligns well with the drama’s main theme.
Additionally, the drama was already exceptional in so many aspects. Even if someone feels the ending wasnt ideal, it still doesnt diminish what the drama achieved as a whole. After all, its rare to get drama with such unique characters, powerful performances and strong direction. For those reasons alone, this drama remains one of the best for me.
Finally finished the drama and the final episode was just so damn good and really thrilling. Even though the ending felt a little rushed, i still really liked how everything wrapped up. JCW was absolutely exceptional here, his performance and action scenes were on another level.
The show definitely had a few flaws but the sheer excitement it gave me in every episode made the whole experience worth it. For that reason alone, its a solid 10/10 from me.
I did give this show a fair chance, i watched up to 14 eps but its still so boring so im dropping it now. The first few eps were engaging and exciting, but it completely fell flat afterward.
does anyone know why the show took years to air despite being supposedly filmed years ago?also i feel like Jo…
This was initially supposed to air on tvN but tvN later rejected it so in the end they streamed it on TVING.
I think same thing happened with Heesu in Class 2 as well. I guess mostly bcz the nature of show, very much youth oriented it was, so they thought maybe family oriented audience may not like it (will not give high tv ratings) so they ended up making it as complete OTT show in that process it got delayed alot.
