She didn't do anything bad; she only answered the same stupid question multiple times just like every actor does…
Also, I read that both of her parents were guests on TV shows, and her mom is also from a rich family, and she even mentioned how much money they put in the safe. So, Koreans knew exactly who they were.
Let's not even talk about the fact of how her own dad set her up with his stupid statement or her agency.
As for SAMSUNG, the CEO went to Japan to study during the invasion, just like Hayoung's ancestor, so I don't think it's that different. I mean, he wasn't a doctor or a sidekick of Hitler, but still... I read articles stating Japan had a HUGE part in making SAMSUNG big.
Anyway, my point is, Hayoung's family is not the only one with a dark past. I'm pretty sure we could find a LOT of people with a past like hers or something similar, but no one cares because they're not in the news. Ergo, this whole thing is hypocritical.
People only care about things if they hit them in the face.
"I do understand your larger point about how people can apply these standards very selectively. "
Yes, that's exactly my point.
She apologized, even tho I think it was unnecessary, but that's not enough in Korea. You have to leave the country dead or alive, basically.
"We should be able to acknowledge what her great-grandfather did and criticize her for not knowing the history without treating Ha Young herself as if she inherited his guilt."
I mean, sure we can say she's uneducated, BUT how many people know the history of their ancestors? How many people actually do research about it? People in general are uneducated and lazy and don't want to do research about most things.
As we always say, "Ignorance is a bliss, but ignorance is a choice."
"She didn't choose her family, and I don't think one controversy should define her entire career."
Give her 2-5 years and she can come back doing small roles, MAYBE!
I honestly have mixed feelings about this. I understand why people are angry, especially because anything connected…
She didn't do anything bad; she only answered the same stupid question multiple times just like every actor does on these shows. If she's not part of a medical drama, no one would ask her about her family being 4 generations of doctors, even tho the whole Korea knew that for years, but they said they didn't care because she wasn't popular yet.
Also, let's not forget, SAMSUNG was created with the help of Japan during the invasion, but you don't see Koreans bullying the company or any other chaebol because they know Kroea would be nothing without SAMSUNG.
sad or not....it's gonna be like this with almost every other drama going forward.It's cheaper in comparison to…
I know, that's why I have fewer job opportunities because companies want to hire me to do the same job but with AI because it's faster and cheaper and they don't care if I earn much less because most people don't know and don't care about AI.
I haven't watched it, so I don't know. All I know is you can see the AI "artists" in the credits. That's where I start nowadays. If I see AI mention, I skip.
Kdrama fans who hype the shit out of boring kissing scenes and turn the brightness up to 100% to see a French kiss better hype up every sex scene in this. 😂
I don't want to see a single negative review bombing unless it's crap.
He can act and no one's forcing you to watch, .drama nazi.
How do you know I don't have a qualification? I'm a man, so I couldn't be an actress anyway. XD I work in this industry for over 20 years, btw, but you don't have to do that to see if someone is a good writer, director, or actor. You only need eyes and a functional brain.
No one is forcing me to watch him, except when he's part of a drama with my fave actors. Use your brain.
I'm not wasting more time on a typical blindfolded fangirl who wouldn't give a damn about him if he's not a pretty face.
I can't enjoy something if it's poorly written or directed or the acting is bad. If you can, good for you.
People like you are the prime example of why so many drama is overrated because you can't give lower scores than 8, especially if your faves are in it. It's not about the story it's about pretty faces and the same old copy and paste cutesy scenes.
I don't want "my actors" or dramas to save anyone, I want to enjoy the things I watch. If I can't, I will call it bad, crap, trash, or whatever.
If you can't accept different opinions, move along.
Now, I want to see other Koreans come out and apologize for the sins of their ancestors as well. That's only fair.
Oh that @changemysoul little girl must be a Knetz, she blocked me so fast. Must be hard to swallow facts. Why are you even replying if you block me next? Children. 😂
She didn't brag about anything. They asked her about family multiple times, stating she has 4 generation of doctors in her family and all she said is, "Yes I have." That's all.
thanks for the list, I was planning on watching some of them before I saw them here. I'd also like to add that…
"the studio face swapped him with another actor"
What? That's insane. China is not messing around.
I'm only adding movies or dramas with actual evidence, news, or mentions in the credits because it would be unfair if I put something here without any comfirmation. I will look into those you mentioned.
He can act and no one's forcing you to watch, .drama nazi.
Can't you read? I literally said I only watched him because he was cast in a drama with my fave actor. Most of you don't know anything about acting but still call your faves the best just because they're good-looking.
I never said he can't be better later but atm he's not even average.
No mate, because he's cast in a drama with my fave actors.
Do you think I only do this to your boy? No. I criticize my own faves as well. What's "pathetic" is that many Kdrama fans don't know what critical thinking is and always say, "Why are you a hater? Can't you just enjoy it?"
No, I can't. If the script, the directing, the acting, etc., are bad, there's no way I can enjoy something. Blind love has no meaning.

Tell your oppa to not work with my faves and I won't mention his name. XD
You're blocked because I don't have time to argue with fangirls.

Anyone who will watch the new seasons doesn't deserve to have a happy life!
Kim Pedo will be a presenter at TWO Korean Award Shows, but an innocent woman is canceled.
I'm cooked as an artist and as a viewer as well.
