I enjoyed the drama but I must say that its not on par with the manga, creators changed the story a lot and whats…
Oh that is SO true - I was so mad at that point. Forgiveness is great and all that - but seriously, we're humans, not saints so I don't believe ANYONE would let the killer get away with it. Even people who do forgive murderers still want them to do jail time so they feel they've had some justice too.
It's not ideal - but he's a young guy in the spotlight, and I think of lot of them are so controlled by their management companies that they do occasionally go off the rails. We have the same here in the West with ex Disney stars - Disney controls them so tightly that when they're considered 'too old' (usually in their late teens/early 20s) they're kicked out and then go completely mental as they have so much freedom and they're not used to it. Most settle down, but some don't. I think T.O.P. will settle, he's just being a bit of a fool for one moment in his life - I don't think a prison sentence is right. However, we should really wait for all the information to be given, right now an awful lot of this is supposition and gossip. THAT never ends well.
So wait for the facts and then see - but, as a 51 year old mum, I can say that ONE mistake is not something to destroy his career over. Give him a chance. My daughter's a good kid, doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, but I allowed her some freedoms when she was growing up - I explained stuff to her and let her be her own person. That's something I bet T.O.P. and a myriad of other stars didn't get. I doubt he's alone in breaking the rules - HE just got caught.
Oh dear GOD - guys, come ON!! I barely enough to sleep as it is.....forget eating, I do that whilst watching.....my keyboard is a new whole ecosystem due to crumbs. Housework? Well, I'm currently hoping that the wild bunnies in my garden do the gardening and my dogs, given enough treats, might well take on the dusting and hoovering as well as the washing. Basically I'm praying I morph into snow white.......this is just impossible to keep up with! How do people in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc cope?

Yeah, I found that the hardest to understand - I know things are different in Japan, but I don't think it's that different that someone would forgive and allow a murderer to get away with killing their beloved mum......regardless of who that person was.
An 'unexpected truth' that leads the 'relationship to crack' is usually the 'he's really her brother' trope. Hope not, but that's usually way these go.
Yup, been there and done all of the above....but I'm a glutton for punishment. lol!
Sufficed to say that I have taken a break from what is laughingly called 'tearjerkers'....no, these are monsters who force you to cry a river of tears until you are a dehydrated husk of a human and then laugh as they rip your dried out, but still beating, little heart from your crispy body and then stomp it into dust.....
I tend to stick with more humorous and romantic dramas and comedies - those that yes, will make me cry, but NOT to the point I'm a snotty, hiccuping, tear stained mess; no, these just make you cry a little babbling brook of simple tears AND there will be moments that make you roll around laughing (Goblin, I'm looking at you).
Wow!!Drama about Sima Yi! With this cast?! I'm so in! <3
Art of War is amazing - the book is still used by companies to strategise corporate takeovers, especially hostile ones, and also when people are starting up companies they want to expand quickly and efficiently to take on their rivals and win. It's probably the best book I've ever read and considering it's nearly 2.5 thousand years old, it's amazing at how much is still relevant today in so many different areas. Oh Chinese is hard, but the hardest for me is Thai. I have had two strokes and have brain damage - but the weird thing is, it's made it easier for me to learn certain languages. Languages like Japanese and Korean have a certain melodic flow to their speech pattern (at least to me) that makes it easier for me to discern and hear - so I pay attention to the spoken and can pick it up....Chinese too to a lesser extent. But Thai is so abrupt and staccato that I struggle with it - so far I've only learnt okay in Thai!! XD

@DragonAlien -- Likewise, I watched Red Cliff 1 & 2 and was so impressed I went off to find out all I could about the politics of the time, Sima Yi and really just the whole 3 Kingdoms period. Red Cliff 1 & 2 are my favourite movies of all time. It was through them I also started studying Chinese warfare and got into the 'Art of War' by Sun Tsu (I have 2 copies of the book - one is small enough to go into my bag and I take it everywhere with me) and the other book I like is 'The Book of Five Rings'- by Miyamoto Musashi. However my most favourite book in the world is Art of War'by Sun Tsu.
I enjoyed the movie and really warmed to the older guy in the end (although in reality he's about my age I think - early 50s, and I'm 51) lol! It was a really unusual little movie; I liked that all the people in it were flawed, even damaged, in some way. There was no 'perfect' romance, no 'perfect' people - it was just a real 'slice of life' movie and with certainly less than traditional relationships involved right across the board.
I really liked it because of all that though; it's nice to see a drama *not* follow the usual accepted tropes and go it's own way - with unconventional relationships, that had their ups and downs (and no contrived misunderstandings; what happened was completely believable), and people struggling to find their own place in the world - to love and yet try not to get their hearts broken.
I gave it 8/10; it lost two points only because of the toe sucking - I'm not judging, whatever floats your boat and all that, but for me it was a bit heave inducing and so it was a 'get the hell out of Nopesville' when that happened!
