I still don't get what Catholicism has to do with the story or in what level it intensifies the characters' conflict. Everywhere in the world gays are now getting married in catholic churches, something that even the media has openly been showing. Catholicism, reading the Gospels or even becoming a priest or a nun is not mandatory for anyone. It was back in the Middle Ages. It feels like Thai gay series is getting lazy lately and/or their producers are lacking creativity. Let's PRAY for something better.
"Korean viewers complained"??? Oh, come on! We all know that every single so-called "controversy" is plot by the media owners to destroy popular contents in order to achieve some financial goal. Spare us.
Nothing good comes from netflix, and nothing Korean either. The focus here will not be the Korean educational system, which is going very fine, but the fact that their system has not been "americanized" enough.
I hope Yoo Ji Ttae finally gets a good role this time, because he hasn't been lucky. But by the description the production team released, I feel it will be another fiasco.
Most people here are trying to make it seem like punishing a famous and beloved actor for the crime he's committed is also a crime. What a peculiar Western way of thinking! While we believe in "rehab" (despite of the attested inefficacy of it), Asians believe in saving a person's life no matter what. But let's keep fooling ourselves by bragging how cool and advanced and accepting we are! Meanwhile, our famous and beloved artists die using the drugs whose liberation our "free" media pressed them to publicly defend...
three great actors in a cringy over the top hollywoodish action movie....
With the difference that in the end the good guys win, instead of victimizing disgusting drug dealers and disgusting drug users, as disgusting Hollywood always does.
This article is a clear example of the dirty Western media trying to Westernize the Asian media. In other words, let's make the Asian media seem as fake news lover as ours.
Social media culture gave rise to all kinda vultures
And that's exactly what the owners of the social media wanted since the beginning. But now the users are to blame. Social media owners have power over users, not the opposite.
"The Match was set to be released on Netflix, but [...] it was acquired by By4m Studio" GREAT NEWS! Nothing good comes from Netflix, nothing truly Korean. I hope other K producers follow the example.
I don't know what's on Korean producers head to accept having their dramas related in any capacity with Netcraplix. Different from the Western "art", Asian Artists do NOT need the media apparatus, because they have real audience. Actually, in terms of numbers, K-dramas and K-movies are more successful than Hollycrapwood an Netcraplix will never be.
