Good Grief

I'm hanging on to the 60s by one year...can't believe I'm this old.
You got busy young, to already have great-grands. My four grands are all 8 and under. :)

I see...you have grandkids who are great! Me too. :)

Our histories are similar.
I have a son and two daughters, and a nice relationship with my ex, as well. :D

Maybe for others but she has always been donating regardless of project or music

What was this BS, they are selling untested product?? What a joke. 100 tests and nobody catches the problem, only his test found it out? And if his test is wrong?

I like Kim Bum but his character here is just your typical 2ML whose sole reason to exist is to love the FL. And make ML jealous.

Kim Bum's character is like a cardboard box in human form. His only trait is liking YeJin. He serves zero purpose except to add a very mild amount of love triangle drama. Waste of talent.

What are you even talking about? I do not see an apparent age gap between the FL and ML. They both look like consenting adults who are able to make sensible decisions for themselves about their lives and whether they want to fall in love.

Sigh.

At the end of the day, who cares if it's advertised or not. The end result is a good cause is getting publicity and money, which is pretty great in my books. I will choose to see the good in people instead of doubting their intentions, especially when I do not know their character. I wish people on here would do the same.

Such sensible words! Very well stated!
For donations from celebrities have a significant impact on charities, often leading to increased funding, awareness, and support for various social causes.

She's been donating every year multiple times since 2011. How much did you donate?

Also, she has made sure everyone knows because she donates money in the name of her fandom. Not to mention, it can be done anonymously, but people leaked this info many times. So it's better if she says it herself.

Only people with sad and lonely lives think she's doing this for attention when she's already one of the biggest stars in Korea.

She has done this for many, many years. It's nothing new.

She's looking better than ever ♥ Glad to see her out and about!

Synopsis

Sod Soi Mala tells the story of two best friend dancers, Mala (Earnearn Fatima Dechawaleekul) and Soi (Mabelz Suchada Sonpan), a pair of royal dancers acclaimed as the most beautiful and enchanting performers in the capital. Their grace captivates men throughout the city, young and old alike, including Than Chai Ram (Krating Khunnarong Pratesrat), a young royal nobleman educated abroad, and Captain Phrom (Kem Hussawee Pakrapongpisan), a military officer with a bright future.

But amidst the rivalry between these two men for Mala's heart, the friendship between the best friends is torn apart when Soi's love for Mala crosses the line beyond friendship. When trust is shattered, Mala cannot accept these feelings, leading to a deep rift that eats away at the hearts of everyone involved for the rest of their lives. Set against the backdrop of a changing nation, how will this story of love, friendship, and tears end?

The description on MDL here is a bit vague. I'll paste a translation of synopsis given on the local platform that I'm watching this show on.

Sroi and Mala were best friends and traditional dancers in a theater troupe. They were destined to reach the pinnacle of their careers together, but the appearance of a man fractured their friendship, forcing Mala to leave. Despite this, for many years afterward, Sroi and Mala's fates remained intertwined through the ups and downs, pain, and losses of life. More than just a story of love, hate, and revenge between two dancers, "The Bangkok Red Opera" also portrays the Golden Age of Traditional Thai dance and the historical factors that led to its decline.

Now that we're 4 episodes into the show, I can see a bit clearer of the narratives they've been trying to set up: how Thai theatre forms change through out the years, how the "new" form of musical theatre was looked down upon at its beginning, how traditional Thai dance was once at its golden era but gradually went in decline; using the complicate relationship between two female dancers to showcase all of this.

It's such a fascinating period show to watch. I can understand why this project won the Thai government support grant from THACCA.

I confess, I never hear this actress’s name mentioned in connection with that unfortunate scandal without a very disagreeable feeling. Her behaviour at the time — particularly her habit of posting untruths upon Instagram regarding her former husband, only for observant Korean netizens to note the contradictions within her own statements, after which she would quietly remove the posts as though nothing had occurred — was, I think, exceedingly ill-judged. That such conduct seemed, in time, to repeat itself did little to improve the impression.

Yet, much as I cannot approve of such repeated falsehoods, I am not inclined to judge her too harshly. It is not difficult to imagine that such actions may have arisen from some private distress, of which the public can know very little. There may well have been real suffering behind it, and perhaps a want of proper guidance or support.

For this reason, I cannot but find it tiresome that every mention of her should revive a former attachment long since concluded. Several years have passed since that relationship ended; and however questionable her conduct may have been, who is to say that the other party was entirely without fault? We are none of us so perfect as to bear close inspection, and to reduce a person wholly to past errors — or to a connection that no longer exists — seems to me rather unjust.

She has done nothing so irreparable as to deserve to be forever defined by it. She erred, certainly; but who does not? Time ought to allow for some degree of amendment. Must she be always recalled for what she has done at her worst, and never for what she may be otherwise?

I should think it far more reasonable to speak of her in regard to her profession, and leave past controversies where they belong. To do otherwise is, in my opinion, quite unnecessary.
