Rooted in homophobia, they think they're warding off the encroachment of BL/GL thematic content in entertainment.

I think that a lot of that is Chinese censorship, which wants very clear lines between the genders--men to look like men (especially manly type men) and women to look like women.If a drama has a Mulan type character where she's fronting as male, she can't look like a male while she's doing it.

Thank you!

Spoil the ending for me? Happy ending?

This is going to be quite a ride, I think.

Probably a really good idea not to get attached to any of the characters, because the way things are starting out, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole show ended with a 4-way shootout, where everyone ends up dead.

Once you have it firmly in mind that the ML is a rotten piece of work, you won't mind if he doesn't have a happy ending--and if the sisters let a man blow up their relationships with each other, they're going to get what's coming to them, too.

Loved his performance in Hyena (loved the drama, too). I'd love to watch him in something new.

Oh, that's just silly.

She should wear whatever the part calls for, unless the costume is unconvincing. If she looks like she's 35 and a flashback calls for the actor to wear a school uniform, that obviously fails--but not because she's an "ahjumma now".

That's what I was thinking, too. It's a win for older acting talent, too.

It must be more tiring and stressful, though, to work with a main lead who is still a bit of an amateur, though.

I should have said from the beginning what a great editorial this is--we're all a little more literate after reading and participating.

That's quite creative. Lovely. The Harry Potter universe, though, is so . . . British. Great Britain is almost another character in the novel.

That's true. But what if they did a Kdrama version of Pride and Prejudice set in the Goryeo era, rather than the more common Joseon?

Now that you mention it, I would absolutely love to watch a Kdrama adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Novel is in the public domain, so it can be done.

Gosh, this must be the 77th short Cdrama with the cheating husband with best friend/wife gets divorce and revenge plot. They're squeezing these out like Skittles.

Coming to Netflix US February 10.

"The World of the Married" is better in terms of story telling, but the cast in this one ("The Betrayal") is absolutely first rate. Anne Throngprasom is such a professional--lifts every production she's in. This is an actor I'll keep watching until one of us is dead.

Gee Sutthirak Subvijitra (Tul) isn't given much to do in the show, but he's very charismatic. I hope he gets bigger parts and more of them. He's an actor I'll be watching out for.

Lee Sun Kyun was hounded to death, but sure, let's blame him for being tortured by the media, by the corruption and incompetence of the police, and for the relentless, vicious attacks by his haters. All his fault. Sure.

And thirty five people tipped this comment, Yikes.

They did this to a well-loved and respected actor--they tortured him mentally, shredded his personal life, and put his future in a flaming dumpster, an extremely high price to pay for drug use, even if drug use was proven, which it was not. The amount of anguish this actor was suffering because the media, the police, the Knetz treated him like a chew toy was profound.

I want heads to roll. I want the people who ruined him for their own amusement to be punished. Big.

This is very similar to "One Spring Night", right down to the Rachel Yamagata sound-alike tune(s), but this is quite watchable in its own way. However, the characters are a bit plodding and unnecessarily melodramatic, making typical mountains out of molehills. Cdramas, amirite?

Well, if some content can't be aired in Mainland China, Taiwan will take care of lighting it up. This looks delightfully raunchy. Can't wait.
