I see you've got your feathers ruffled over a few explicit scenes in a K-Drama, and suddenly, the sky is falling?…
Your obsession with equating a nuanced discussion to porn & spamming the same everywhere says more about your own twisted mindset than anything else. It’s almost comical how you leap to such a base assumption when faced with actual discourse. The fact that this is where your mind goes speaks volumes about your own issues—clearly, this conversation is way out of your depth
Well, well, well, I knew we’d get here eventually 😌. K-Dramas, one of the last bastions of pure storytelling,…
I see you've got your feathers ruffled over a few explicit scenes in a K-Drama, and suddenly, the sky is falling? Dramatic much? Let’s dissect this doomsday prophecy of yours
First off, let’s talk about your grand assumption that one 18+ rated drama like Queen Woo is the harbinger of some apocalyptic downfall of Korean entertainment. It’s almost as if you’ve never encountered the concept of genres before. ..Not every K-Drama is—or should be—a carbon copy of the past. The beauty of storytelling lies in its evolution, its ability to adapt, and its capacity to cater to a wide range of tastes. Yes, that includes stories with a bit more heat, a bit more edge, and yes, even some good old-fashioned 'moaning and banging.' ...Shocking, I know.
But let’s not get too carried away by the sight of a few racy scenes. The idea that this signifies some moral decay or a complete abandonment of quality is, frankly, laughable. What’s really happening here is diversification, a broadening of horizons. Korean dramas are expanding to include narratives that reflect more of the human experience—romance in all its forms, including the physical (funnily enough, they have already done this for a very long time in their movies). You might want to take a moment to realize that showing sex on screen isn't synonymous with “sheer filth.” It’s a part of life, and when done tastefully, it can add depth, realism, and complexity to characters and stories....
Now, as for your thinly veiled elitism, sprinkled with all these 'fancy' English words, it’s clear you’ve confused verbosity with intellect !! Just because you can throw around some highfalutin language doesn't elevate your opinion to some superior plane of existence. In fact, it only serves to highlight the baselessness of your argument. You’re clutching at pearls over something that’s perfectly normal in the evolution of any entertainment industry. Did it ever occur to you that this self-perceived superiority might just be a shield for your discomfort with change? Newsflash: just because something doesn’t cater exclusively to your taste doesn’t mean it’s “garbage.”.
So maybe, just maybe, it’s time to step down from that high horse & recognize that diversity in storytelling isn’t the end of the world. It’s just the next chapter. If you’re not ready for that, there’s always reruns of the classics. But don’t confuse your nostalgia for quality with a right to dictate the future of an entire industry. Adapt or be left behind.
Lmao, you are just pissed coz I called you out on your bulls*it. Your ego is hurt coz you shamelessly thought you are better than others by thinking you are morally superior just coz you won't watch nudity in shows & now simply cant handle the blowback at someone directly confronting you with how medieval your so called 'maturity' is.
Great points, but such content is very rare in Kdramas typically. That's probably why people are talking about…
You are free to disagree but it’s a shame you are still missing the point
Those mature ratings you mention are different from OTT shows. TV shows have strict censorship in S.Korea & those shows are evaluated based on their censorship laws. So it won’t have heavy nudity, violence & gore. Whereas OTT gives more freedom & lenient & aren’t abiding any strict censorship laws. Their R rated means you can expect everything & it’s only meant to keep underage away from it. Hence audience like you are used to that tv meant for ratings & assuming any show that’s rated as mature have only your assumed levels ‘mature content’. My comment was calling out this specific ignorance. It’s 2024. Not that hard to research & keep you informed instead of spamming the comment section with your uninformed opinions crying about mature content in a R rated OTT show. People are free to express their opinions & just as they can, I am inclined to call out such brazen levels of displayed ignorance as well. Cheers
Great points, but such content is very rare in Kdramas typically. That's probably why people are talking about…
Well here’s the dozen you wanted which had different extremes of mature content from insinuated, low to prolonged nudity
Hit the spot Somebody A killer paradox The glory Money heist Connect Big bet A model family My name The squid games One ordinary day LTNS
I might sound petty here for naming them just coz you asked for it like a gotcha moment but that’s my whole point. All these shows were R rated & were advertised as one. Just coz people let themselves be uninformed doesn’t make their bitchin about ‘R’ rated scenes in a ‘R’ rated show valid. It’s brazen stupidity at it’s finest.
The whole purpose of rating a show as R is to make the audience prepare for everything from violence to nudity to any extreme. It could be just insinuated sex, one brief nude/gore scene or it could be several scenes with prolonged nudity & graphic scenes. So it’s a ‘you’ problem if you assume R rated means only to expect drinking & expletives. That’s not very sound thinking. If you are gonna be whining about a R rated show having nudity, it doesn’t make you look very smart, does it?
Your point doesn’t make sense at all in that context. Because this was never intended for TV. It’s for OTT. Always advertised as one. Things have changed since OTT came into the picture. That’s why a lot of R rated shows have started making it’s way in recent trend at the same level as korean movies as opposed to old school kdramas. So whose fault you think it is if you went into this expecting an old school kdrama experience for a recently made R rated show meant for OTT release & that too a period drama at that? They can’t have nudity on shows meant for TV due to censorship. It’s just ignorance at play here if your expectations were different.
And as for adding the tags, ofcourse the tags will get added in a day or so. People have to watch, add it, get it approved etc. it takes a day atleast. I don’t know if you are aware of this but that’s how MDL works. The cue for having your expectation set is the rated R for OTT🤷♂️
But it doesn’t change a thing reg the weird behavior of trashing a R rated show for it’s mature content. Such levels of blatant ignorance cannot be encouraged under the pretext of ‘oh we are old school kdrama watchers, it shocked us to see nudity in a R rated show released in OTT in big 2024’. That’s genuinely hilarious levels of brazenness at this age and time.
Great points, but such content is very rare in Kdramas typically. That's probably why people are talking about…
But it’s not like this came out of nowhere no? There have been ample K-dramas with nudity, like Somebody, Hit the Spot etc to name a few from recent memory. Just like those shows, this one was marketed as R-rated too. It’s wild that people are getting hung up on something so trivial instead of focusing on the show itself.
You literally made it a moral issue like a weirdo. You insinuated how watching nudity is immoral. That’s about as stupid as one can get reg an R rated show. It’s art. Your maturity is like a paper-thin mask—barely hiding your childish thoughts
Also stop liking your own comments. That’s such a weird ass behavior to try & portray as if you are making a good argument. Do you realize you behave exactly like a 12 year old which you claimed not to be? 🤣
Oh you are right about that. I have ZERO respect towards people who(weirdly) make it a moral issue regarding nudity in art. Well done, atleast you got something right
And stop copy pasting what other person wrote. Atleast think something original if you want to rebuke something 😹
Lol, that’s why I said it’s a ‘you’ problem. You are free to give a reaction & I am just as entitled with a counter reaction calling out the brazen stupidity in your reaction. But the moment you made watching nudity a ‘moral’ thing, you just made it very clear to everyone that you aren’t that ‘mature’ afterall like you claim. Uninformed & Underdeveloped critical thinking. Thanks for clearing the air 👍
Lol, you literally just proved to everyone you are immature af with this comment.
Watching an R-rated show and complaining about nudity is like ordering spicy food and whining that it’s too hot. Rofl, stop behaving like a weirdo making this a moral issue. So that means the actors who acted nude are immoral in real life? This is what I meant by behaving like a puerile 12 year old. I believe you aren’t 12 literally. But your mental age is definitely that esp. after this weird af comment making it about morals & shit.
Just ask the questions that you need clarity on and see if no one will answer, but you might not get an answer…
I fully understand what I wrote. I said I don't want unwarranted sermons suggesting how people are entitled to opinions when I haven't even touched that nerve in my original comment. Take care
Just ask the questions that you need clarity on and see if no one will answer, but you might not get an answer…
Where did I insinuate that it's wrong to express opinions here? People can express anything they want. But just as they can, I can also call out the brazen stupidity in complaining about nudity in a 18+ show. That's exactly what I did here🤷♂️
My disappointment is about people not discussing the plot enough & instead yapping about something trivial af. Not the show itself. Try to grasp what's being said before offering uncalled for sermons :)
It's a 'you' problem. The show was always marketed as 18+. so it's your fault if you let yourself uninformed & if a show is marketed as 18+, you literally have to expect everything from nudity to violence at any extremes. It's common sense. That's the whole effin point of giving rating to a show so that the audience are prepared & only adults are allowed to watch. What are you even on about 'intrigue' nonsense here?
Lol, if you aren't a 12 year old, you wouldn't be bothered by nude scenes in 19+ show. Stop acting puerile & act the age if you aren't 12 like you proudly claim
Does anyone recognize the third prince wife princess jwa who gets killed by him? Her face looks so familiar but I can't seem to put a finger on it. I am sure I have seen her from somewhere.
Came here for the comments to try & see if some of my confusions from the 4 episodes are clarified by people or if they discuss the actual plot to understand if I misunderstood something from the plot
but instead there's like gazillion comments crying & judging the sex scenes in a show that was literally marketed as a 18+ mature audience content & a period one at that which made it all the more obvious of what to expect ... *smh*. What a disappointment to see the section filled with full of puerile comments when there was so much going on in the show.. sigh🤦
