Sulli's brother and family speak out about how nudity was never part of the original script and that a body double was supposed to do the nude scene but on the day of the shoot, she was told the body double was sick and was made to perform the scene. The reality was that the stand-in actress was in fact present on set. The family learnt these details during Sulli's funeral. They are now demanding answers from Kim SooHyun and the director.
Sulli's brother wrote, "It's been 6 years since my sister's gone. Six years since you've played around with her. Now there's six years of pain that you will receive. Don't break down too soon."
Grr. I wanted to watch this show. They need to remove Kim SooHyun. There is a petition going on to email Disney+ and let them know we want him removed from the series.
These corporations care more about alcohol and drug use when the harm is to oneself due to mental health reasons but not when the actor is accused of rape and pedophilia when countless others are harmed or at risk of being harmed. What a messed up world.
Like defending a man who likes children is borderline insane no matter how much they like an actor
Tell me about it. I hope he loses more brand deals but looks like some producers still have his back. It's ridiculous how they protect these men but a DUI or taking drugs due to mental health issues isn't tolerated.
Ugh. His fans are going crazy trying to protect this disgusting man on instagram. He's not interested in you to begin with. He's probably eyeing a future trainee who's a minor.
I'm on episode 5 and I am finding the drama quite slow paced. The acting and plot is fine. It's just slow. And I don't know if fhe subs are bad but sometimes I don't seem to understand the plot like why the girl switched universities. Or maybe they just haven't revealed it yet?

1. The director was replaced by Kim SooHyun's half-brother Lee SaRang.
2. The lead actress, Sulli, was manipulated into doing the nude scenes that were not part of the script initially. She was also lied to by telling her the body double was sick when she was present on set.
3. KSH's agency distributed a flyer promoted Real using Sulli's nudes as bait causing her to self-harm.
4. Suzy shot multiple hours for the role but only appeared for a few seconds.
5. Han JiEun went through a 4300 to 1 audition for her role. But except for the nudity and bes scenes, she was completely cut from the movie.
6. An audition for the movie asked women to come dressed in bar/club style outfits and told them they would be filmed having fun. One attendee relates that no proper audition took place, no one had name tags, scenes were shot in the dark and so she felt uncomfortable and left.
7. When this movie received criticism, Sulli was left to deal with it all by herself. No one protected her.

Edit: Does the pace get better?
