Bad ending and mediocre beggining, if you're looking for a show to clean/cook dinner to, this one will be fine I guess. A lot of people pointed out other stupidities, but for me one that's not mentioned enough is Gwon Se Jin coming back from the US by PLANE in order to give information that could have easily been communicated over the phone XD
Re: "culture"So if it's part of culture in a country to marry 12year olds to 40yo men, we should consider it fine?…
It's either "He's a public figure. Of course people are gonna talk about it and have their opinions on the matter..." or "Stop defending him.". It seems to me that while you admit that people will have their opinions om him, they should not be favourable. And that's a problem to me - especially that a lot of people just point out that we don't know his circumstances (where he exactly did drugs cause maybe it was abroad, and what was his reason). I get your point about addicts harming their family. But as far as we know, just like @Popcxqueen pointed out, there is no proof that it's the case here. At least one thing we know, he most likely doesn't have a kid, so harming a person which is not an adult is out of the question. Which ofc doesn't mean nobody else is hurt by his actions but let me reiterate - we don't know that.
About advocating for other causes: my point is not advocating here for korean rights for MJ, which would still be ok. My country doesn't legalise it either and I can't see why it isn't a battle worth fighting. But here I am defending yet another person from Korea who is bashed online. It happens again and again and especially in kpop fandoms. Here at least the actor is an adult. But I am sick of the whole internet being self righteous and hating on a person who should suffer legally, not by getting hate. Why should his work suffer?
Stop trying to defend him. It doesn't matter what is like in other countries, it's illegal in S. Korea and the…
Re: "culture"
So if it's part of culture in a country to marry 12year olds to 40yo men, we should consider it fine? Or if children labour is legal, everyone should make no comment on that too? A culture is not and should not be something untouchable and we def should strive to live in a better and fairer world, no matter what their customs or laws are.
Re "let him face the consequences"
He didn't harm anyone. He didn't make any trouble that we know of. He was just minding his own business. If he'll be punished by law, that's that, but there is no place for the public bashing him.
Besides, you don't know what are his circumstances. Why are you judging him if you know nothing? What he used it for?
Re: "most people who are addicted to drugs started with marijuana"
But how many people who start with marijuana get addicted to other drugs? I can say that most people who are addicted to drugs started with drinking their mothers milk when they were kids, so what?
Life isn't black and white. People can use marijuana for health purposes. People can use LSD for health purposes. If you use it wisely, it might not be bad for you. The same goes with alcohol. And we have no reason to believe it was different for him, and even if it was, it's his own health, he can only harm himself.
re The brother, instead of focusing on the company, he is fixated on taking out his sister. The sister realizes…
Yeah I gathered from other comments that there will be more on the brother in the eps I haven't seen yet, so probably will have to review my opinion on him ><
I do agree with most of your points especially on the romance part, however for Eun-jung's son not so much. Yes,…
Yeah. Also, he's probably seeing that a lot of kids in his kindergarden have mums to take care of them full time. He doesn't want his father to leave his job, but his mother, just because that's what everyone else has.
Don't get me wrong, the show is pretty good, but seriously, what is this with Hanna's plotline? She is supposed to be smart or sth but as of ep 9 the most impressive thing she did was gain some insta followers. Everyone says she has a great instinct or whatnot but I feel like she has to get even the most basic lessons from everybody all the time. Like not fire everybody after just 1 mistake, dress appropriately or not throw a tantrum like a 3 yo. We haven't seen her work in her position even for a minute, as she's so invested in bossing everyone around. There's a limit of bad behaviours, when she isn't just quirky anymore, but she's shallow, spoiled, unexperienced and uneducated. I would hate to have a person like that be my co-worker on the same level, but my boss? I'd start looking for another job. Srsly, her brother seems way more suitable to be the next chairman. Also, I see no chemistry between her and secretary Park. Get him a woman not a lady-child.
"Lighter & Princess was very popular. Should those who have watched it change their scoring to 1 just because Arthur Chen slept with a woman at a hotel? Should those that are planning to watch it, not watch it at all because of it?"
What even is this question? Are you kidding me? Are we 12 or what?
Yes, I was planning to watch it and I definitely am still watching it, unless his behaviour is of like Ezra Miller's level of craziness. If it does not harm anybody & is consensual, then I don't care, it's his life and we're all people who make mistakes. If this even can be called a mistake. Also, if the lady's married, she is the one responsible for hurting her husband.
The main problem is the drama having an identity crisis, which is typical of law-themed kdramas that HAS to have…
This change of main theme from FL's coping with her job change to political struggle truly came a bit out of place. And thanks to that I felt like the FL wasn't a part of the main theme (which in the end turned out to be the political one) until like ep 10. Like everyone focused on the murders by that point, while she was still struggling with her cases.
Oh, it's good. The ending on the other hand had the audience split: there are ones who think it's a happy ending,…
Well, in the end the chef who was inside the Queen's body comes back to the future and Queen's original soul comes inside her body once again. Soo: - The chef is separated from his friends, his beloved one, and his kid who was still in the womb, with basically no goodbye, - The king is left there thinking his beloved is still the same person, even though Queen's behaviour is totally different from the chef's
Some people are happy with the ending, as they believe that the original queen was the one pulling the strings the entire time (and the one who fell in love with the king). They feel that the chef didn't love the king, it was all the queen. I, and many others however feel that the queen was barely shown in the series, and the chef was the main character all along (only to some extent influenced by female hormones and queen's memories I guess) and was the one inlove with the king. But in the end the queen got everything she didn't deserve and fight for: friends, love, kid.
I'm actually curious how they will handle a couple that's already together and in this many episodes at that. If they break up and get together at the end of the season, it'll be too much for me XD overall, I think it will be an ok filler drama, nothing too special, just something to chill to
I would take everything with Shin Hye Sun at this point, so it only adds to the excitement when she's actually getting paired with such good actors (although seeing it being written by Go Back Couple's screenwriter has me a bit worried...)
Haha, nope i haven't yet. Since i only started to watch kdrama about a year ago, i have soooo much to catch up…
Also, kudos to you for watching so many ongoing dramas, I have been disappointed one too many tine about an ending and still can't trust a drama enough to watch it ongoing haha
Actually I think in certain regions it's nothing weird. In my family it was quite ok until I grew up, but I guess times changed now. It didn't gross me out, esp that her father is sick.
