He was part of the reason I got into K-dramas. These older character actors who carried the weight of the earlier dramas we loved are the best that Korea has to offer. He will sorely be missed.
It's rumored that she's currently dating and living with Terry Liu. He is 2nd generation party member rich kid. He's not doing dramas anymore it seems. He doesn't have to do them. He can live off his family's wealth and have his girlfriend do all the work.
This isn't a Korean website, it's based in the US.
Don't play dumb. How long you been watching and following Korean entertainment??? No one in the USA uses this term in this way. They are COPY+PASTA what the Korean media are saying. Koreans in particular use this terminology in this way. I've seen it since BEFORE MDL even existed. I've been watching Taiwanese & Korean dramas since 2004, and Japanese before even then. So, yeah, no. This is a Korean thing.
Do Koreans have a different definition for the English word "scandal" than English speakers? It's actually always been quite confusing to me.
It's confusion because English words aren't fantasy. There are real definitions behind them. Like, our English dictionaries state the definition for "scandal" is "..an action or event regarded as morally or legally wrong and causing general public outrage.." So, it 2 people are unmarried, single & unattached, is it "morally or legally" wrong for them to date?
Maybe it's considered a "scandal" in Korea because most entertainment talent contracts have a "legal" clause that states they are not to "date" for a certain amount of time or to a person their agency decides for them? If that's the case, the bigger "scandal" is that Korea normalizes slave labor talent contracts, since they have that much control over another person's life, including their personal, non-working actions.
What you Like and Don´t is not of an Interest only the People who make Dramas need to see her Talent
Well. thank you for showing that you are just like her, so I can understand why you defend her. She and you get to decide who is and isn't 'human garbage' & for her, she goes 1 step further and pronounces when they die.
In Alan Yu's own words, there are women who are just as brutal & hit just as hard. I suspect he was referring to her.
You know how you can do those 'LIVE' photos on your cellphone? The kind that capture a little bit before the actual photo is taken? And when you click on it you can see or hear those few seconds in the pic? I saw this woman's smiling face in pics from that night that were just like this... and I heard THE SLAP.. I heard them say he was "still resisting"... and she's sitting there hamming it up for the cameras with a smile... while a human being... whether 'garbage' or not, was being beaten to death and thrown out a window.
And, NO, the CCP narrative is FALSE! The Chinese people know it, and anyone with half a brain knows it now. Don't kid yourself... she was there... she knew... she participated... and that's all anyone needs to know about HER and YOU.
No longer listed on Doubin and posts of your Baidu profile are filled with commentators trying to get around censorship by using coded messages while others try hard to cover and Baidu is having to post constantly on these coded messages for 'verification of information' or the post is taken down in 24 hours.
Yes, yes... the amount of energy and effort that the Censorship arm of the CCP is having to give to the 17 is crazy.... We will see how long this lasts....
At this point, if you are an youth that has no life, no prospects, no job, and you are being starved to death, AND NOW your government is giving WORK VISAS to foreigners to further take jobs from you... WHY IN TF ARE YOU STILL SUPPORTING THIS?? Wasn't communism installed in China for the purpose of defeating classism??? How has anything changed??? Except now, you don't get a voice or a choice... those rich use you as play things, slave labor, body parts or toss you away in the garbage.... What do you have to lose fighting back against it????
Lin Gengxin, Wang Sicong, Kris Wu, Zhao Liying are friends very close together. The Legend of Chu Qiao, means…
Interesting. That's not how I took it. In fact, I wasn't paying that much attention to the players, only that the cops seemed to be covering up so his info was the first I heard about it. It caused me to actually go down a rabbit hole and why I'm even on this page.
I know a few non-entertainment Chinese alternative news outlets similar to Jennifer Zeng who is also covering this story. Because of Marcus's posted video that made me look into the matter, I now know of the details that include Cai Qi's offspring being involved; money laundering and guns/weapons running with Russia and using YML's name for dozens of shell companies and dumping $100B Yuan into his account causing YML to tell his mom the money wanted to make him vomit; the involvement of Xi & his brother likely being present at the scene; this suggesting that the conspiracy rumors about this murder being pre-planned all the way up to Xi due to YML's birthday; that this was done as a spiritual sacrifice to help Xi retain power -- seems upper elder elites within the CCP still believe in old school shamanism besides their desires for immortality that we got on hot mics. From that I learned that the CCP is already perfected baby organ transplants and have been creating babies for this purpose, etc.
This stuff I wouldn't have even known or cared about if I didn't watch Marcus' post, so if his purpose was to downplay everything for the CCP's sake, it didn't work. In fact, there is a potential that Xi ends up stepping down over all of this at the Chinese CCP 4th Plenary Session next week. We will see see if Xi and those around him can crackdown enough to keep him in power.
The best thing anyone in the international community can do is continue to post and try to get through about details to those within China and keep it active and strong as best we can until the Plenary Session. Again, we will see how committed the Chinese people are for #JusticeforYML or how they continue to be gossips & snitches of their family & friends for the benefit of the powerful rich elite CCP members, while the average Chinese person, and poor are screwed over and used as play things for those very elites.
Lin Gengxin, Wang Sicong, Kris Wu, Zhao Liying are friends very close together. The Legend of Chu Qiao, means…
No he isn't. 8 days ago he posted a tribute video, and within the last 24 hours he did a run down on the rumors circulating and the cancelation of Fan Shiqi's concert.
You know... I don't complain about the in your face HYPER Nationalism of Chinese in their dramas & movies. It's their nation, they love it, they want to promote it. They always have to be the best in the world, on the world championship stage winning and all other nations are shown having to cheer and clap and root for China. You can name countless dramas.
But there is a reason their are censors. There is reason you get specialized angles from dramas on the streets. There is a reason you could put an avatar pin down all over South Korea and the USA put have to fight to see the street view anywhere in China.
Not everything is about China. Not everything about China is good. China can talk shit about everyone else and wave their flag all over their dramas... No one goes out and tells them shit about it... but the idea they think they can control SOUTH KOREAN dramas like they live under CCP control is a bit telling, now isn't it. Feels like the old days when China made Korea it's red-headed step child bitch, took its women and wealth and made the citizens their slaves. Let's move on from those days and not be so HYPER Nationalistic.
And let's not deny that China will attempt to takeover Taiwan by any means necessary then squash their same sex marriage laws the second they do because they want to corner the semiconductor market of the world so they can CONTROL everyone else.... Stop being so freaking naive... Everyone else is just a straight up Marxist.
Regardless of how good or poorly you thought this drama was, it doesn't take away from the fantastic writing of the original novel author, Mo Bao Fei Bao. For me MBFB and Gu Man are the absolute best that China has to offer for young adult romance novels. Practically all their novels have been given Live Adaptations.
Gu Man first (you can look this all up on MDL): Boss & Me, You Are My Sunshine, Love O2O, You Are My Glory... I believe they're looking for funding to do Shine on Me
Mo Bao Fei Bao: Go Go Squid, Appledog/DT story is based on same novel; One & Only/Forever Ever; Road Home; Love Me, Love My Voice, Amidst a Snowstorm of Love** **this was actually her 2nd novel. I'm not sure why it was give a Live Adaptation last but kinda glad because it's actually my favorite of all of them with GGS being my 2nd.
I will say that each of these writers have similar themes running through their stories and both have a tremendous amount of hyped Chinese nationalism. I'm not particularly a fan of all of that, but in the text of these stories, although I might find it cringe, I accept it as it does fit with the character of those the stories are written about..
I'm more a Gu Man fan though... with YAMG being my FAV. I'll say the reason is that since I graduated from college in 1991, my main occupation has been in aerospace, with my current job dealing in highly specialized aircraft used in the activities of various nations' military practices with our most recent "public" contract being with the IAF for AAR. I also got heavily invested, through my boys, in online gaming. Since I was already listening to Kpop & watching Kdramas around 2004 it was easy for me to get hooked on a game like League of Legends & I even took my kids and their friends to the 1st ever World Championship with Royal Club/SKT in 2013 at Staples Center, since no other kids' parents would take them, let alone approved of them playing at the time. They'd actually let me play with them every once in a while back then. So a novel then a drama combining online gaming, even if it was mobile, it Tencent's mobile based on LoL since Tencent owned RIOT by this time, plus anything aerospace was right up my alley. Having it be a pleasant romance with good looking actors made it top notch for me.
Anyway. I'm revisiting this series because I just cannot seem to get into anything that's been coming out new in the last 2 years. I'm going back for nostalgia. I find myself crying a bit watching these shows. I wish I could go back in time to 2013--2017-18... Those were some of my fav years of just non-stop binge watching dramas because everything was just so fresh and beautiful. Now, everything just seems so veiled through the lens of cancel culture, and netizens demands and the cost expectation of everything having to resemble a perfect world that no one can criticism or have differing views. It's just so disheartening.
Cancel culture before knowing anything factual is indeed an issue. A huge one in fact. However, this doesn't discount…
No. It's not all good and chill. What it is is something that should have been handled and RESOVLED at the time of the incident and at the point of the school transfer. If the victim and their family needed JUSTICE they should have sought it then and there.... not simply to destroy someone because they all of a sudden now as an adult are FAMOUS. That's a VENDETTA and REVENGE... that's not justice! A vendetta can also be a form of bullying when it is constant and repetitive harassment, intimidation, and humiliation against a targeted individual.. much like this victim seems to be doing by bringing this matter up over and over again.
But, my God, for a LOT of adults around here, it seems, you make 1 mistake and you are DONE for the rest of your lives. I'D HATE TO BE A KID OF ANYONE WHO GOES THIS FAR. They're probably the kind of wife/husband and mother/father that brings up past shit into every freaking argument... emotionally beating down on your family's psyche and destroying their own self worth, making them feel like shit every second for breathing if they slipped up and/or got angry just 1 time.
Based on these kinds of comments, there is no rehabilitation. There's no amount of growing up and learning from poor choices. If the schools did nothing satisfactory to reprimand and punish the kids in the eyes of the public, that's on THE CIVIL SERVICE and COMMUNITY, not on a teenage kid.
ADULTS HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF OVERSIGHT, and the kids should NOT be forced into being punished OVER AND OVER again, ad infinitum, into adulthood. THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE SUICIDE. Bottom line. And so, yes, continue generating cancel culture, allowing forum posts to go viral so the public at large can pass JUDGEMENT not the judicial system and wreck havoc on people's lives 10. 20, 30 years later AFTER the incident... IT'S WONDERFUL, ISN'T IT!?!
And then you have the damn drinking culture for those who have to suffer everyday under the weight of living their lives PERFECTLY every SINGLE day from the moment they are born so they do not have to suffer under the scrutiny of others who point their finger, knowing full well, one day it will be THEM who gets hit with it too.... and why so many just off themselves for a DUI! Yep, in South Korea, FORGET THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, public opinion means if you make a mistake like THAT, you might as well die! It's capital punishment that the K-Netizens who go on verbal rampages over others actions, rather than demanding a proper LEGAL SYSTEM and mental health services. They'd rather someone drive their car to a secluded park somewhere with a grill and a briquette.
If they didn't rape, steal, or kill where they should be put in prison for an extended period of time, then what are we even talking about here??? Then you have to ask yourselves why mundane childhood BS that just about EVERYONE has experience get such HUGE attention, but legit rape & assault from adults does not...HELL, I was beat up and bullied my whole time in elementary school and part way through middle school. At what point do we tell the victim of school bullying, GET THERAPY and get over it??? Your victim status is not a mechanism by which you get to do the same, bully another person for the rest of their lives for what they did to you.
Who are Koreans kidding? EVERYONE in that society bullies everyone, even the victims. There isn't a person that doesn't gossip or bully or judge or condemn others. It's why your culture is a sick industrialized RANK #1 SUICIDE rate societal mess.
Why should I care about this in the end? Someone makes a mistake in school, gets handed their punishment and transfers, and for KIDS, that should be the end of the story. Who cares if they apologized or not? The only thing anyone should care about is if the person is a REPEAT offender afterwards, and causes further harm to themselves or others. Besides, would anyone accept the apology anyway? NO! They won't be happy until the Korean Coast Guard is fishing her out of the Han River because that's the way these things play out, eh?
Her reputation is publicly smeared and she won't be able to find a proper job to take care of herself. Her life is over. Happy? No.... Wait until you're fake crying because she offed herself.... Isn't that the way it ALWAYS happens in Korea??? I'm so sick of this BS.
I enjoyed that the plot wasn't completely surrounded by them as a couple. There were varying elements to the story and the secondary couple wasn't just wasted space. A lot of focus on acceptance and mental health. Comparative relationships were shown to juxtapose 'healthy' vs 'toxic' situations. Romance was respectful.
Dialogue wasn't at all as cringe as you get used to when watching BL dramas. Acting was actually really good from all of them. Not much out of character stuff happening. Correct emotions and actions.
The bottoms in this drama really had the 'feminine' aspect to their new relationships. The tops were wealthy macho men with lots of time on their hands to play. Dudes were the supportive boyfriends not just willing to invest in their partner's ambitions & desires but to join in and be an active participant... at the same time, never trying to control or interfere with it. [ Shows when the first half is all about the snakes, then when the interest is caught by 2 others, they're no longer interested in snakes anymore.. hahaha]. Simply letting their significant other have the means to shine on their own. I mean.... If there was a drama that showed healthy hetero relationships like this, I'd be into watch... Reminds me of the energy that made me love "You Are My Glory" so much -- except in that one, it was the female with all the money, and the guy with ambitions needing support.
Lastly, the whole "Wú Suǒ Wèi" for the new name reminded me of The Untamed with Wei Wu Xian's sword "Suí Biàn". Same vibe. I laughed and smiled thinking about that.... Good Vibes!!
The arrest plot is actually pretty accurate to Chinese business shit. Pay attention. How many actors & businessmen have their businesses destroyed, segmented or careers canceled in the last 5-8 years over taxes? A great example of this is Jack Ma who publicly criticized China's financial sector at the end of 2020, only to have the govt issue a $2.8 billion fine against Alibaba for "anti-competitive practices" in 2021. Jack Ma was forced to step down as head, Alibaba was forced to split up... the CCP never wants any 1 individual or company to get to big for their boots, or out shine the CCP. The minute anything gets too lucrative or popular, they swoop in to stop it... In this drama, that someone tattled on a company that was seeing explosive success in a short period of time, and then it was destroyed in days by an arrest and investigation is more CCP than you obviously know.
First, I already played lots of console games until my kids got me into online gaming...LoL & WoW especially. I even took them to the 1st League of Legends World Championship at Staples in 2013. Tencent owns Riot & rights to the game & made the mobile games. It was second nature to watch it.
Secondly, I have a long career in Aerospace. First working for All Nippon Airways, then Aerochem, and now I work for an Air to Air Refueling civilian company, Metrea. When I worked for Aerochem, we manufactured the dome for the external tanks of the space shuttles... so Yu Tu's career touches a spot for me...
The most important thing though is the NOVEL... This drama is the BEST for those who read Gu Man's novels FIRST. She didn't get to script the entirety of her other novels put into LIVE Action...BUT she did for this drama. This drama is EXACTLY like the novel AND that's what I so love about it. It has every aspect of Gu Man's writing to it.
It's like Gu Man is my spirit animal. She writes like she knows me and the things I enjoy inside and out!
Only in Communist China can state run companies do such corrupt acts that an already rich Chinese man makes millions on offer what should have already been available by numerous companies to the masses. Like where is the Communist quality control. Why be Communists when capitalism e.g. seeing a niche opportunity & filling it to make millions, wins the day. Sad testament to your economy.
If you're talking about Sungri, who most people who don't know what they're talking about, consider the "main…
Suengri was charged with prostitution mediation, embezzlement, habitual gambling, and violating foreign currency exchange laws. He was also accused of instigating violence and sharing illicit photos. What were the illicit photos regarding??? Well the others in his circle were charged with g@ng r@pe of women who weren't prostitutes but that were customer's of Seungri's business.
You support and promote him as if he somehow got in the crossfire and did nothing wrong. As if he had no clue what his business partners, who were jailed for sexual crimes, were doing in his place of business... that he didn't try to mislead the government about the type of business he was running in order to avoid taxes that everyday business folks pay and safety regulations that keep the customers that go into the business safe.
Act like he's some sort of victim in this situation??? I guess you do you boo....

It's confusion because English words aren't fantasy. There are real definitions behind them. Like, our English dictionaries state the definition for "scandal" is "..an action or event regarded as morally or legally wrong and causing general public outrage.." So, it 2 people are unmarried, single & unattached, is it "morally or legally" wrong for them to date?
Maybe it's considered a "scandal" in Korea because most entertainment talent contracts have a
"legal" clause that states they are not to "date" for a certain amount of time or to a person their agency decides for them? If that's the case, the bigger "scandal" is that Korea normalizes slave labor talent contracts, since they have that much control over another person's life, including their personal, non-working actions.
In Alan Yu's own words, there are women who are just as brutal & hit just as hard. I suspect he was referring to her.

WHY IN TF ARE YOU STILL SUPPORTING THIS?? Wasn't communism installed in China for the purpose of defeating classism??? How has anything changed??? Except now, you don't get a voice or a choice... those rich use you as play things, slave labor, body parts or toss you away in the garbage.... What do you have to lose fighting back against it????
I know a few non-entertainment Chinese alternative news outlets similar to Jennifer Zeng who is also covering this story. Because of Marcus's posted video that made me look into the matter, I now know of the details that include Cai Qi's offspring being involved; money laundering and guns/weapons running with Russia and using YML's name for dozens of shell companies and dumping $100B Yuan into his account causing YML to tell his mom the money wanted to make him vomit; the involvement of Xi & his brother likely being present at the scene; this suggesting that the conspiracy rumors about this murder being pre-planned all the way up to Xi due to YML's birthday; that this was done as a spiritual sacrifice to help Xi retain power -- seems upper elder elites within the CCP still believe in old school shamanism besides their desires for immortality that we got on hot mics.

As if he had no clue what his business partners, who were jailed for sexual crimes, were doing in his place of business... that he didn't try to mislead the government about the type of business he was running in order to avoid taxes that everyday business folks pay and safety regulations that keep the customers that go into the business safe.
Act like he's some sort of victim in this situation??? I guess you do you boo....
