Really? And what is his character???? The dude has been arrested for ripping people off with his crypto schemes and he runs paper corporations. You know what a "paper corporation" is, right??? It's a money laundering scheme. His companies also backed other companies that have ripped off people, like the talent agency that embezzled money from Lee Seung Gi.

He's also previously been sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in prison and 3 years probation for fraud and forgery of private documents.

She's benefitted from him monetarily. Her sister got a 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐝 position in one of these corporations. She's now resigned it since he's gotten caught. But it's not like PMY didn't know what he was doing. Her family was involved in this man's financials.

So, my point is that she 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 judge the man by his 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 whatsoever, like you're suggesting. She also 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 judge the man by his 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫, like you're suggesting. She judged the man by 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐢𝐦. And my comments were, it's obvious by her own personality traits, like being a fitness buff etc that she'd fall in love with a man, with 𝐡𝐢𝐬 character, who is unfit, for one reason and one reason only -- He is rich. She 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐥𝐲 couldn't afford the car she drives around in on her own.

And let's talk about her 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫. It's such 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 timing for you to nicely bring this up to me so I can update with further information on 𝐡𝐞𝐫 characater.

"....The prosecution believes that Park Min-young's name was used in the borrowed-name transaction of convertible bonds issued by Bithumb affiliates by Kang Jong-hyun and her aides, and that hundreds of millions of dollars in profits occurred...."

https://www.allkpop.com/article/2023/02/park-min-young-reportedly-under-investigation-for-involvement-in-ex-boyfriend-kang-jong-hyuns-alleged-crimes

Korean source: https://www.xportsnews.com/article/1688687

She's now being investigated for being involved in his financial crimes....

And while we're at it--This Kang Jong Hyun claims he's broke. Her car, and his car, that are worth 100s of thousands of dollars, are in other people's names so he can avoid getting caught embezzling and laundering money and 𝐧𝐨𝐭 paying taxes. One of those cars was in Sung Yu Ri's husband's name. Kang Jong Hyun used embezzled funds to invest in her cosmetic company...You see the quid pro quo??? **𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐤** Sung Yu Ri 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 claimed she either didn't know him or didn't know how he got his funds, or it's all her husband's fault, etc etc... And only a fool believes these women didn't really know what's going on...

https://www.koreaboo.com/news/actress-sung-yuris-cosmetic-brand-revealed-received-large-investment-park-min-youngs-ex-boyfriend-kang-jong-hyun/

Plus, there are some other names going around with involvement with this schemer: "The fact that Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung invested in Mr. Kang's company Vident in the past also drew attention." per above article.

So, yeah... police don't investigate the likes of PMY because of her 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 character.

I don't care if the fans don't like her family. JFC, LSG has been through a fucking enough BS the last few years. Leave him the fuck alone and let him decide who he wants to marry. It's not like you have to watch her too to be his fan. Just enjoy his music, and watch the shit he's in and leave him the fuck alone after that... it's not your life he's living.

Doesn't look like it. Looks like it will be more like Misaeng.

But if they're in a "boyfriend/girlfriend" relationship, that already implies a type of emotional 'intimacy' that's more than just friends, or then, why would he consider her his 'girlfriend'? If they have a emotionally intimate relationship he describes as his 'girlfriend' over a period of time, and still avoids physical intimacy, then that's simply just being asexual.

Actually L, Jin Hyuk and 2 others are the main stars of this drama. L is listed ahead of Jin Hyuk since his character is the main focus of the plot.

How was I not kind and accurate? The only thing that can even remotely be construed as possibly rude is my first question... but I merely asked that because half of the answers to your questions were in the above article itself, and had you read it, you'd have been provided with the facts you needed to know... as far as accuracy...I don't know how I can be any more accurate with the facts... But I appreciate you taking the time to read my response.

Didn't you read the announcement? It's there.

First off, to your, "...I don't know these people.." They are in a very famous 1st Gen Kpop boy band INFINITE that disbanded back in 2019, i.e circa 2010 along with the Kpop boy bands - SHINee, TVXQ, Big Bang groups. Most fans of K-Dramas circa this Era or earlier will know them because OSTs often divert you into listening to Kpop, and/or watching Variety Shows where you get introduced to the more popular groups. Thus, there will be a lot of INFINITE's fans who will know these guys and be happy to see them since their group is no longer active from the time the members started entering their military service. It's only recently they've started to return to civilian life.

1. 'Accounting Firm' is the title of this drama.
2. It will air on MBC sometime in 2023.
3. Kim Myung Soo, also known by his Kpop stage name, "L", was discharged in August of last year from military service.

On another note, I'm a huge fan of the INFINITE member Lee Sung Yeol's acting, but he hasn't been offered many roles. I don't watch dailies so I didn't see some of his last dramas...but D-Day is a popular drama, as well as While You Were Sleeping.

L is the most popular Kpop IDOL turned actor of the group, INFINITE, and most successful. Some of the most popular K-Dramas he has had a main role in before his military service was: The Master's Sun, Cunning Single Lady, The Emperor: Owner of the Mask, Miss Hammurabi, Angel's Last Mission: Love, & Secret Royal Inspector...

L was also in some flops of some A-List Korean actor/actresses, as far as ROK's standards: "My Lovely Girl" starring Rain & Krystal; "The Time We Were Not in Love" starring Ha Ji Won, Lee Jin Wook, & Yoon Kyun Sang.

Hope that answered your questions.

They admitted to dating back in 2021. Seems they were dating for a while before that, and his old agency outed their relationship in retaliation for him deciding to start his own agency, which forced him to resign with them as management because of all the anti backlash.

I'm so happy he has flown in the face of all the manipulation and negativity, and found his life's happiness.

For me Korean is even harder than what you're describing. It's definitely harder than Japanese that still tends to use the same phonetic structure of the English consonant/vowel system. And don't get me started on the batchim grammar rules. I often have to use an online Korean pronunciation converter. Even Koreans have a hard time with those rules.

I also tend to look up Wiktionary in an effort to get more concise translations as well as using my Minjung's Essence Korean-English; English-Korean dictionaries. They're comparable to my most beloved Kenkyusha's Lighthouse Japanese/English dictionaries! I think with both Japanese & Korean, verb conjugation is the most important to learn off the bat because it includes both formal and casual versions. 😊

Naver has an online dictionary that's fairly decent. I use some good apps as well: The Korean Learner's Dictionary & 3 others that are provided by the The Korean American Center near me that has been designated as an official ROK sponsored international learning facilitate as a King Sejong Institute. 😉

😂🤣😂
Idioms are the bane of any foreign language learner.

Even with English you can have some that might not translate well:
1. I'm going Cold Turkey.
2. Are you wet behind the ears?
3. Hold your horses!
4. Did you get someone's goat?
5. You better get your ducks in a row.
6. My, he's an eager beaver.
7. He bit the dust.
8. Elvis has left the building...
9. This is such a cock and bull story.
10. They're thick as thieves... etc etc
😁

I didn't know Empress Ki was a action drama... but okay...

and your comment about musicians is true...many artists have become irrelevant after changing up their style. The fans that were attracted to their style of music in the first place enjoyed it for that...sometimes a change in genre works, sometimes it doesn't...but I guarantee you are not gonna have fans of Metallica listen to an album they put out that is based on pop or country. That's simply not how it works...and that doesn't mean that the Metalheads weren't TRUE FANS of the band in the OG [original] form.... I think you're talking about obsession with someone...there's a difference.

Unfortunately, without a better translator, this is how it translates from Korean to English. Not sure if you're ethnically Asian or not. I'm assuming you are from Canada...but if you're familiar with Asian languages [ I took 4 years of Japanese in high school, went to a high school in Japan for 6 months, and took 12 units of Japanese at UCLA + studied to level 2 Korean at the Korean American Cultural Center in Irvine, CA ] you know that much of the languages use inferences vs English. Using pronouns is rare, and titles are key. On top of that, much of it is 'flowery' verbiage with lots of idioms vs the more blunt and direct style of English or other European languages. Thus, direct translations are always hard to come by, and the translations are ALWAYS up to the interpretation of the listener or translator based on the CONTEXT of the conversation. Additionally, idioms don't always directly translate because it's based in cultural ethos.

So, yes, when production doesn't necessarily have a solid script but a vague idea of what the scriptwriter plans to initiate, it'll be more flowery interpretation that might not directly translate the actual full concept of the plot...it is what it is...I at least thought this description gave a much clearer idea of what to expect...that's all....

Read the comment. It's pretty clear where I copy+pasta it from... don't come at me like I wrote it.. but I think it makes a whole lot more sense than the actual released synopsis of the drama. Obviously it will involve some Slice of Life with Cho Yong Pil's sisters and neighbors with likely comedy aspects since his character is portrayed as being a half-wit. Since Mado is a 'fantasy' world that doesn't exist in reality, those characters will express the type of community Mado is and how they're living....

Sorry whoever wrote it offended you...lol.

I can absolutely criticize something I started watching but dropped. I don't have to subject myself to the entirety of drama I don't like to prove that, indeed, it wasn't worth watching for me....

And please not where I said the opinions are "SUBJECTIVE". Everyone has their own personal likes and dislikes. You're to quick to jump at me with your own subjective opinions. It takes more than chemistry to pull a drama off. My dislike was over the quality of the script which I didn't like. What I didn't watch was because it was a script I wasn't interested in watching.

I'm going to finalize this by saying exactly what I said above, and repeat it hopefully in a way it sinks in rather than criticize me for my own personal taste that just doesn't happen to match yours:

***The reason I haven't watched or liked the majority of the stuff JCW has been in since he left the military are for TWO reasons: 1) 20% is the acting isn't what I expected; 2) 80% is the drama scripts are not the same type and quality of what I watched JCW in previously.***

It's his choice of scripts I find lacking... If you like them, good for you. I'm sure there's an audience for it... but the rest of us who say he hasn't picked good dramas to be in are not that audience... When he comes back to the kinds of scripts that had us like him in the first place, then we'll all be happy...

I don't think this is quite true at all. I think I've read quite a lot of the negative sentiment and, frankly, I've agreed with it for the most part. Let me explain....

The first time I knew JCW existed he played an awesome half-wit in 'Empress Ki' that turned me into a fan. I rated this drama 9/10. The next drama of his I watched was the follow up 'Healer' which floored me again. I rated that a 10/10.

Then he did K2 where I just loved his character for the most part. When he wasn't playing alongside Yoon Ah, it was awesome. Yoon Ah's acting in that drama was stale as old bread. I don't know why she continues to get lead roles, I was gonna watch both 'The King in Love' & 'Big Mouth' but I couldn't stomach her acting. Sorry, not sorry. ANYWAY... Although I rated K2 7.5/10 due to the messy romance aspect I didn't enjoy at all... I STILL thought JCW's acting was stellar!! If they had taken Go Anna out of the plot and just had Choi Yoo Jin and Jeha, that would have been lit!! JCW had more chemistry with Song Yoon Ah than his main co-star. The scenes with these 2 were lit af as far as I'm concerned. Some of the best K-drama acting I've seen!

Unlike others, I actually enjoyed 'Suspicious Partner' and rated it 8/10. This was just before he went into military service. And this is where everything goes down hill. I don't know what happened to him but he hasn't really picked 1 good drama since then. The plot of 'Melting Me Softly' didn't interest me so I didn't watch it. I love both Kim Yoo Jung & JCW but I couldn't stomach 'Backstreet Rookie' and its plot so I dropped it. Same with 'Lovestruck in the City', and I LOVE Kim Ji Won and her acting as well. None of his other dramas from 2020 to now have been a plot I'm interested in watching.... so....

Everything I loved about watching JCW from the start seemed to vanish after he finished his military service... He just hasn't really picked a script comparable to his earlier ones, be it modern, or historical... I just think he is capable of so much more and better, that it's a big disappointment. I know a lot of fans feel about the same way... It's just our subjective opinions and a LOT is based upon the stuff we enjoy watching... It's not personal or 'hate'. We aren't ANTIS ffs. We're fans who want to see the old badass JCW in action, nothing more, nothing less.

Sports Trends news and other sources said, Shin Hye Sun has not confirmed it but JCW practically has. barring something unforeseen. Her side only admitted to receiving the offer but nothing more.

This is a 'Healing Romance' genre actually, but if Shin Hye Sun does take this it won't be out until around the second half of this year since she already has a drama scheduled with tvN 'See You in My 19th Life', also airing through NetFlix.

Not sure why, but Han Kyeong Entertainment 'Ten Asia Report Kim Ji Won' essentially said she's accepted the part of Sam-dal. They go on to state, 'her character who constantly dates to try to find her other half, returns to her hometown after breaking up with her boyfriend'.

OSEN stated precisely, "...an official from IOK Company, Shin Hye-sun's agency, told OSEN, "We are preparing 'Wax Queen' first as our next project. Nothing has been decided after that, so it seems premature to say anything about it. Regarding the appearance in 'Welcome to Samdali', we are currently discussing. It's just in progress, nothing has been decided." SO...that's a SECOND project she has in the works for THIS year before she'll even consider this project... So, I think this might be overhyping her...someone seems to be trying to pressure her to take the job through the press.

From an anonymous unofficial source, the further details are:
Characters:
1) Male Lead: Cho Yong Pil is the fool of the Mado Meteorological Administration
2) Female Lead: Cho Eun Hye looks fragile but has a strong personality; Sam-Dal is always falling in love trying to find her other half but ends up breaking up with her current boyfriend and returns to her hometown

Plot: [in addition to the vague plot production as released which is as stated above]
'Welcome to Samdali' is also based on the imaginary island of Mado with Jeju as its motif. It is about a woman from Mado who returns to her hometown and meets her first love. Through the daily lives of his sisters and neighbors who do not lose their laughter in all kinds of storms, the island village's characteristics will be preserved throughout.

It's is categorized as a "Human; Healing; Romance".

You know, you can go on YouTube and watch lawyers, like #LawyerYouKnow breakdown a murder case that's currently going on in Florida, USA. Why am I bringing this up? Because I cannot stand this new trend with Millennials & Gen Zers. Your generations have taken cancel culture and social media to a new level. You all are about gossip...when you know very little about #FACTS. This is why I watch YT channels like 'Emily D Baker' breakdown pop culture legal scandals. She straight up says, "...we talk about FACTS, not fuckery..."

The case I'm referring to is Courtney Clenney and her ex-b/f Christian Toby Obumseli. He ended up dead by the knife in her hands. Had he been arrested for domestic violence before? Yes. Had she been arrested for domestic violence before? Yes. She claims she stabbed him in self defense. The DA begs to differ and she is currently on trial for second-degree murder with a deadly weapon.

For those looking at this very TOXIC couple, without evidence and FACTS would automatically side with the female. Courtney's words are holy to feminists. But then there was CCTV footage from an elevator, and what was going on in it??? Courtney was beating the crap out of Christian while he tried to hold her back, never once retaliated towards her. Had he beaten her up before? No doubt! He was arrested for it. But Courtney beat him up just as much. This was a TOXIC relationship between both of them.... and it escalated and escalated because, as a female, she more often than not got away with doing harm to him than he did with her. So she kept upping the ante until she "FUCKED AROUND AND FOUND OUT"...now he is dead...and she's fighting for a life outside a prison cell.

I really don't give a shit about the fan fueled drama here. One sided evidence on either side is sus because, don't kid yourselves, a lot of it could be doctored. What is true is that any toxic relationship needs to end. Also, the drama doesn't need to be force fed by the fans posting up facts and figures. This is not a court of law. Lives have been ruined by going public with this shit instead of getting therapy, private help, legal advise, and/or just ending the situation/relationship. Fans do nothing by making this shit about them instead of the couple involved. Allowing them to air their toxic relationship in the media is just freaking sick, and mere colleagues and co-workers have to live through their toxic relationship with them, because fans don't understand 1 thing; THIS IS AN "A" & "B" CONVERSATION, "C" YOURSELVES OUT OF IT!!

I had this drama still on my PTW list...but coming here and seeing the fan's Shark Tank and the obvious feeding frenzy it whips up makes the whole shit distasteful. I'm not watching it now... that's it... Next....

There are more than enough articles stating that he was introduced to her right after Vicenzo finished airing which was May, 2021. She moved to South Korea in spring of 2022 to live with him. You think he met her and just invited her to live with him out of no where and she left the UK to do that barely knowing him? Be realistic here...

And if what his movie co-stars are saying to the press are true, and they've actually known each other 3 yrs, that's still no where close to being involved with his relationship to SHK let alone cheating on her. Their relationship started in Descendents Feb~April, 2016, married July, 2017, divorced July 2019. Three years ago, to be exact would be January, 2020. That would mean he had 6 months to lick his wounds from a divorce to start looking around and dating. People were even 'shipping' him with co-stars in 'Arthdal Chronicles' which started coming out around the same time his divorce was announced...But regardless...that's saying he's known her that long, not that they've been dating...as far as what's been reported in the press, it started middle of 2021...

NO. I didn't...and it's extremely rude for you to say that, because the very definition of "SHOTGUN" comes from concept that the 'FATHER OF THE BRIDE' is FORCING the groom to marry at the end of a "SHOTGUN", thus, NO feelings, NO planning...

Etymology: "From the implication that the groom was forced to the altar by shotgun-wielding relatives of the bride..."

So, excuse me if I don't accept your insult to them OR TO ME that I or my husband, or SJK and his bride were being FORCED into a marriage because we got pregnant.....
