Lee Jun Ho

I kind of hope Mandee learns something from it too because characters in their series played by more feminine presenting actors are often not written that well. For example, Nunew is basically always made to play the same character (although Zee kind of too so maybe it’s more of a problem of trying to sell the actor ship instead of creating compelling characters) Another thing is agency. Many feminine presenting characters in Mandee series are given little agency within the story and they often don’t come across as fully fleshed out individuals. Any character, regardless of how they present themselves, needs strengths and weaknesses, desires,hopes and fears. And I have to say, Namping’s character in Uke showed us 1000% more personality than anything else we have seen from him so far (which makes me conclude it is mostly a writing issue)

Thanks for the overview. My feeling is that you have a strong desire to look at this as objectivity as possible.

10 years already! I don't wanna believe it

It is heartbreaking everything you wrote. When I found out that Lee Sun Kyun had taken his own life, I honestly didn’t understand at the time how things had reached that point. He was an actor I admired very much. My Mister was a drama I rewatched many times and it remained one of the dearest shows to my heart.
I only understood the scale of this phenomenon of online lynching after the case involving Kim Soo Hyun. I hope there will be strict regulations and laws put in place, because what is happening is deeply painful and heartbreaking. I can say that I have matured during these past 15 months, since I saw the things people are capable of writing while hiding behind a screen.
I hope laws and penalties will be created to protect actors, and that those who spread so much hatred will be held accountable. This is not entertainment. Real lives are involved here.

"What saddens me the most is that people who claimed to be defending victims ended up bullying and traumatizing other people simply for asking them to wait for evidence before destroying someone's life."

When irony prevails that's when everyone knows the reasoning (defending victims) is completely fabricated.

I'm a firm believer in what goes around comes around, we reap what we sow. All of the hateful comments will come around as a lesson one way or another. Will they trace it back to their comments? Probably not. Karma doesn't label its lessons it hopes we learn, or they'll be on repeat. One lesson for each comment.

Sweetie, you are preaching to the choir. I've reserved judgement on him from the beginning and failed to sway others to see things from an objective point of view until ALL legal means were exhausted. I was blasted as a pedo lover, a di*k rider, add dozens of other derogatory names, and worse. All the while the trauma from my childhood (onwards) sexual abuse was triggered MUCH worse by these so called good citizens and was made to be an abuser for doing so. I think the comment section under his profile should be wiped clean. Hers too if it isn't directly about her.

Exactly what I believe too. This is the first time I’ve seen a celebrity pushed into such a situation, driven toward suicide by online harassment, without being given the chance to explain themselves or defend themselves.

Kim Sae-ron's Boyfriend During Her Minor Years Was an 'Older Idol'

🔗  https://n.news.naver.com/article/008/0005196931


The person Kim Sae-ron dated while she was a minor was a famous idol rapper (Mr. Song) from a major entertainment agency.

At the time, Kim Sae-ron reportedly did not even hide the relationship from those around her, so it was openly known.

It is said that journalists already know who this person is.
There have also already been many articles about it on online portal sites.

The bereaved family discovered who Kim Sae-ron's real boyfriend was during her minor years after examining her mobile phone.

However, by inserting actor Kim Soo Hyun photo into all KakaoTalk conversations with other men and manipulating them, they made it appear as though the relationship during her minor years was with Kim Soo Hyun.

After Kim Sae-ron's death, even though she had been financially supporting her family and was married with a husband, out of all the men Kim Sae-ron had dated up to that point, they chose Kim Soo Hyun—the wealthiest and most popular one—as their target.

By accusing Kim Soo-hyun, with whom she allegedly dated only briefly as an adult, of having had a relationship with her while she was a minor and of pressuring her over debt, they carried out this nationwide fraud in an attempt to obtain financial gain through a contingency-fee arrangement and other monetary benefits.

Right

Wow...some haters turned up to toss mud, but Lee Min Ho has BIG fans in our family. We began with City Hunter, watching Faith now, and Legend of the Blue Sea coming up. Different strokes for different folks I guess, however if you have a favourite actor/star & there was an article about him on MDL...dollars to donuts, you'd find some haters buzzing around here just to disagree. It's a thing. Can't wait for his next drama...love him.

I’m a little obsessed with this storyline. I haven’t read the original novel, but two episodes in, this is the arc that grips me the most in Fourever, emotionally sharp in a way that lingers long after the credits.

The actress playing the woman wrongfully sent to prison is extraordinary. Even without fluent Thai, I can feel every layer of anger, humiliation, and grief beneath the swearing and rough edges. None of it reads as empty shock value; it feels like a woman who has turned foul language into armor because it’s the only protection she has left.

Oat as Daotok caught me off guard, too. There’s a balcony scene where he quietly lights a cigarette, and it’s like watching a different person slip out from under the same face. That kind of subtle shift is what I think of as real acting, not the big dramatic breakdown, but the small change in posture and energy that makes you reevaluate everything you thought you knew about a character.

I also keep thinking about the way Arthit calls his parents by their first names, Direk and Emama. In most Asian families, especially on screen, you rarely see children address their parents that casually, so it stands out immediately. It almost feels like something you’d expect in a more open American household, giving their family a warm, modern, slightly offbeat quality that I find genuinely endearing.

Each episode runs a little over fifty minutes, yet it never feels long. The pacing is tight, the emotional beats land cleanly, and the ensemble structure of Fourever 1 & 2 keeps the world feeling full without losing focus. I’m excited, and a little nervous, to see where Arthit and Daotok’s story goes from here.

Just finished watching second episode, and I’ve done all the crying, laughing and screaming while watching it! it was such perfect episode! can’t wait for next!!!

So so agree these celebrities face enough hardship just being stars and not being able to live a life like all of us. Stop it please before more actors are destroyed or take their own lives

Thank you for clarifying. I agree with you.

I can’t edit my last reply and I don’t want it misunderstood.
Your points here are valid and I second them.
