I don't think your efforts were enough to satisfy SleepyStrawberry. lol

lol Have you contacted MDL and volunteered to re-write this synopsis to fit your PC/Woke requirements? If not, why not?

You changed and left out some words in your bogus quotes from the synopsis, naturally, to spin it as far your direction as possible. It actually reads "...dreaming of physically transforming into a woman...". You added the "real" to make it sound more melodramatically politically incorrect than it really is. Even by 2021 standards, I think it's accurate to say that a pre-op trans woman is still, physically, a man. If not, what in the world would be the purpose of transitional surgery? What's more, anyone reading this eight year-old synopsis, knows exactly what's going on with the plot. You're just trying to polish your woke credentials.

I stay away from behind the scenes-type publicity and such, so I don't know about any of that. It's my way of attempting to come at each series or movie with as much of a clean slate, uncluttered by pre-release propaganda, as possible. :D I very much enjoy and admire Ohm's acting, on-screen presence, charisma and good looks. I look forward to what he'll be doing in the future. If they were reluctant, perhaps it's because they got hold of this script and read it. lol Frankly, since neither one seems to be hurting for work, I'm surprised they took on such a run of the mill project. Doesn't seem like the best move, career-wise.

As for Nanon, I don't know what it is...I think he was hilarious and sensational in MY DEAR LOSER but what I've seen him in other than that just doesn't grab me. Just a personal taste thing.

Thanks for your comment. I'm not clear on what you mean that the "actors are mostly reluctant as well..." Do you mean the actors would rather not be doing the series but go ahead with it for the salary...? Forgive my densitude, but I'd love to more fully understand what you're saying. Thanks.

I'm out after 36 minutes. This is garbage, desperately trying to be stylish.

I enjoy weird, quirky, evil, twisted shit in movies oftentimes, but this one is too revolting even more me, and I can imagine it's going to get a lot nastier in the next 90 minutes or so. Everyone from the dad to Kanako to the mom to the girlfriends to the bullies and on and on is repulsive in the extreme. Yuck. So I don't care what happens to any of them. Ugh, what a piece of shit movie.

So true and so embarrassing. I appologize on behalf of those of us who are not red, white and blue panty-sniffers.

Are you talking to me or just babbling and drooling randomly? I haven't rated either of those shows for obvious reasons. It's cute that you're stalking me or otherwise investigating, but you're either delusional or just making shit up.

Lee Won Keun: Yet another sensationally talented young Korean actor. Wow. Even if his work is in service to a fairly predictable moral fable about bullying. Quite a few plot holes/oversights but I was pretty involved all the way through. I get that being bullied endlessly, day after day, fucks up your thinking, but it was seriously hard to swallow that our bullied hero didn't know exactly what the other two assholes were up to the night the worst went down.

I really, really need a Korean flick about bullying that addresses how it is that all this monstrous behavior can go on right under the noses of parents, teachers, principals, other students, etc. without ANY of them doing a fucking thing to put a stop to it. I mean, it's always these macho assholes running rampant in the classrooms before teachers come in, violently harrassing other students and the authority figures NEVER catch on? Or worse, see it and decide to do nothing? OK, if that's the way it is, then how about a plot concerning itself with WHY they don't care and how it is that they got to this morally depraved viewpoint?

I was not bullied in high school, thank god, though I easily could have been, had I not kept my sexuality pretty much a secret. And what bullying I saw was at a far lower level than this shit. But if I were bullied like all these Korean students, I seriously would kill somebody. I was GLAD when the kid poisoned those two dudes at the beginning, I just wish they had died. No sensible jury would convict. He was merely protecting himself.

Heart-breaking...again. Bullying of this level, and it doesn't matter what society we're talking about because it happens everywhere, takes place with the tacit approval of everyone else who turns a blind eye because they're just glad it's not THEM who's being tortured at the moment. Much of the time, even authority figures like teachers and coaches pretend not to see it also. Which is what really pisses me off. I don't know what their excuse is for not taking action. Bullies like this should be suspended and expelled as appropriate, and the physical stuff needs to be handled as what it is: Assault and battery, intimidation, threatening, menacing and many other labels, all of which are against the freaking law. These brats should spend a few weeks in jail.

lol Thankfully, I didn't pick up on that. :)

OMG, everyone in Europe is a pedophile!!! Call bnjmk to come over there and set things RIGHT!

PRECISELY. "Right" and "wrong" are subjective concepts that change by location and time. By your reckoning the Phillippines is a nation of pedophiles.

oooh...you said "fuck." That must mean you are definitely right. lol Look, you twit, people lived a LOT fewer years than they do now. People regularly married in their early/mid teens. So your idea of "grooming" and "pedophilia" barely existed, except as it applied to small children. But you want to apply today's sexual hysteria regarding an imagined wave of pedophilia to Asian society of many hundreds of years ago. It doesn't apply. It doesn't work that way. It doesn't make any sense. "Wrong" and "right" are very subjective concepts that evolve or devolve over time. But I'm wasting my time with you. At least when it comes to sex you are not a deep or rational thinker.

The people watching each part are the same. You can't legitimately just add up the four parts as though they aren't the same viewers and then breathlessly report that total as though they are unique viewers.

I mean...you can't do that unless your intent is to deliberately deceive. A commenter above laid into you several times for your obsessive pushing of this series as though you work for its PR department, along with your hundreds of comments (I exaggerate!). Consider taking note.

Oh dear, FreshKicks, thank you for that useless, condescending and silly comment. It's interesting how you choose to completely ignore all the "personal attacks" on me...and revealing too, of course. If you have time in your busy day, please point out the personal attacks I've levied against others that haven't been balanced out by the same on me. I'll wait. BTW, how do you define a "personal attack?"

I'm quaking in my boots, waiting for you and the other delicate flower hall-monitors here to report me to admins

Thank you.

I am wounded to the core by your psychoanalysis and insults. Not. Why would a person take the time to do a "commentary" on a show like this. I made my opinions clear and you don't like them or the way I stated them. I don't care.

Apparently YOU are the one who thinks my words are almighty, superior and incredible; I certainly don't. I just write what I think. Don't like it, don't read my comments or better yet, block me. Like I said, I don't care.

It's people like you who write pretentious, "prepotent" (I had to look that one up. (thanks for teaching me a new word!) and arrogant bullshit commentary about silly drivel like this show, pretending it was made with great thought and deep, meaningful insights into the human condition. Newsflash: It wasn't. It was written with HEAVY reliance on plots that have gone before it and made with $$$ in mind, not deep social commentary.

Relax. You like this thing. I think it's a joke. There are hundreds of other comments here by people who agree with you. It's telling that my few comments out of all those hundreds of others have you so beside yourself. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest you know there is a lot of truth in what I've said here, you just don't want to admit it.

Just enjoy your show. I'll wait for Ohm to finish his BL phase and move on to richer, hopefully gay-themed, material. But even when he starts taking straight roles, I'll be watching. I think he's a fine actor.

Just finished watching: 9/10
So much I want to say right now but this series kicked ass. The two leads were EXCELLENT. The level of hard work and dedication to maintain the level of intensity required of an actor in this kind of show for TEN episodes is phenomenal. They each have a new fan in me and I hope to see much more from both in the future.

Couple of notes:
Maybe too many instances of folks surviving impossible levels of bodily trauma and blood loss to be believable.
This may make me a horrible person, but I got sick to death of Min Hee playing the victim. She made her choices too.
REALLY shocked but kind of glad at a couple of actions (or lack of actions) taken by Jin Soo near the end of the final episode. That's some cold shit.
Haven't done any research but I hope to hell Netflix commissions, or has commissioned, a second season. BRAVO.

OK. Great!

Yes, you are correct about the implications of the "brain cells" remark, but no I won't refrrain from having fun in the comments. Feels free to insult me. I don't care. Lighten up.
