that person was simply pointing out the immense impact the show has, so you know that your dislike for goblin is absolutely irrelevant in light of the show's many achievements. all your talk of death threats and mental are completely off point and add nothing new to the argument.

correction, school student. not school child. My argument is officially still standing, unlike yours.

no, if they lower that legal age to ten, I won't be okay. I'll call it weird. But I wont call it paedophilia because that's a crime, and as long as the law allows it, it's not a crime. if you haven't seen vampire diaries, how can you have a problem with the age gap. Are you pulling your arguments out of thin air? Do you really think your opinion about a show you havent watched is valid? FL "acts like a child" is just an argument you invented in your head simply because Kim Go Eun has a smallish physique which makes her actually look like one, coupled with her playful behavior. I've watched plenty of dramas where the FL acts even more childish than her, and no one care cos they look mature. Besides, she only acts immaturely around the Goblin because she feels safe and can open herself up when she's with him. Look at her with other characters: her aunt's family, the ghosts, her schoolmates, her boss, even the grim reaper. She acts maturely around everyone except for the goblin... because she likes him. She isn't a child. No matter what you chose to believe, that's a fact, unless you have enough power to change the law.

Death's Game is a show that confuses spectacle for depth and plot twists for meaning. Here's my spoiler-free review:

you clearly haven't watched the show cos your entire argument crumbles to pieces when you watch the show and realise that she's 19 years old, a legal adult in Korea

woah. hold your horses. the legal age of consent in Korea is 16, and the age of adulthood is 19. the FL is 19 in the show so there's no paedophilia going on. you can call it weird if you find it weird, but dont falsely accuse someone of a serious crime. that's how words begin to lose their meaning. also, no one complains when 100 and 200 and 1000 year old vampires go after high school girls in Vampire Diaries and other western supernatural shows. People only complain about Goblin because Gong You looks physically mature, clearly in his 30s, but what's the difference between a 200 year old vampire who looks like he's 17 and a 900 year old Goblin who looks like he's 30? they're both adults. it's not predatory behavior. their relationship was never even sexual unti the FL was in her late 20s. you have watched the show, right?

i agree. all the characters were good and well written. i hated the time skip too

i don't know, dude. I'm just communicating the impression I got from Twitter, and it's pretty obvious they were interested in seeing him specifically in a romcom

God, i hate plots like that😂

that's the impression I got from Twitter. most people are less invested in the movie itself and more interested in seeing him in it. that's not to say that they dont care bout the movie, but i think it's pretty accurate to say that Kim Seon ho is the major draw for most people, on Twitter. you can tell from the reaction to the trailer.

it's nothing new or different, but Kim Seon ho alone makes it special and worth watching for me and most people.

First of all, I never said anything about him being rich. Ji pyeong was charismatic, intelligent, well spoken, confident, helpful, kind, funny, honest(sometimes to a fault), etc. So if you think his defining trait was that he was rich or that people preferred him because of that, oh well. i understand fully why Dalmi chose Dosan. He was supportive, and she really needed someone supportive. But overall, in the show, Han Ji pyeong was the better character all round. Han Ji pyeong simply outshined Dosan because the actor had a better screen presence. Kim Seon ho has stiling screen presence in all his roles I've seen, rich or poor.

are the episodes dropping all at once?

cool new poster

They did NOT approach Ah-Jin. Ah-Jin found Jaeoh in a compromising situation and recognized that as an opportunity to insert herself into his life and become his lifeline. The fact that they were willing participants doesn't nullify that fact that they were victims of Ah-Jin's manipulation.

my firat statement is literally about how I'm NOT stripping them of their own accountability. did you miss that?

By no means am i trying to absolve Junseo and Jaeo of all responsibility. Of course not. Theyre adults too and they're just as guilty as she is. Rather, I'm simply trying to debunk your initial statement that the only people Ah-Jin wronged were Ingang and Mr Choi. Junseo was just a child when Ah-Jin sowed the seeds of manipulation in his mind. She made him feel responsible for every bad thing that happened to her. She made him feel that he had to latch onto her and protect her. She grew up and realized she didn't need him anymore, but the deed had already been done. She couldnt reverse the mind fuck she had done to his brain. Even if she told him to leave her alone, that's not how trauma works. You don't just tell it to go away and expect it to listen. She's not the only one in the wrong. His mother contributed. But the fact is that Junseo's life would've turned out much better had Ah-Jin not warped his mind as a child. Same thing with Jaeo, although he was older and already on the path of self-destruction. Ah-Jin also wronged Ingangs grandma by the way, by using her to get to Ingang. Basically, manipulation is wrong, and any victim of manipulation has been wronged by the manipulator. They dont need to end up dead or in jail for them to be considered wronged. And they don't need to be angry about it either. When you're being manipulated, you don't realize it, so how can you be angry. But a viewer's morals should compel you to be angry on their behalf.

Junseo and Jaeoh are also victims. She manipulated them to do her bidding, then tossed them aside when she didn't need them. You mighy say they wanted to be used, but thats how manipulation works. Once it's been planted deep, you want it and even beg for it. But that doesn't make it okay. Imagine this: a guy manipulates his girlfriend into thinking he's allowed to cheat, while she isn't. She's so convinced because he's brainwashed her with notions of alpha male domination and she's convinced he's right. If you see that girl, even though she doesn't have a problem with it, won't you try to snap her out of her delusions. Just cos someone is okay with what's happening to them doesn make it okay.

The person who made that comment mt have a very skewed sense of morality, or is actually dangerous in the real world. Such a person had no consideration for others, and will go to any means to justify their wrongdoings. i like the ending of this show, but I wish it left a lesson for some viewers on the dangers of being like Ah-Jin.

i loved the drama, but one thing that really didn't sit right with me was how her downfall was handled. i feel like they just glossed over it. the aftermath of the documentary wasnt half a bad as it shouldve been, and there was no time for us to really see the effects. I agree that the show peaked in the first four episodes, but it never got stale for me😅
