Comment section full of birds chirping for this pedo...
Kinda insane because 1) his military letters addressed to Saeron showed that they're clearly not just colleagues and Saeron would've been only 17 then. 2) the court ruling doesn't really matter because in the first place, south korea's law never favored women in such cases. heck, they don't even consider it as SA when men take advantage of drunk women as long as she didn't say no—even if she's too drunk to give consent. 3) what's legal isn't always moral.
sadly, many kdrama fans are still glazing this man as if he would like adult women.
This is not about trauma it is about creating drama and I don't mean on screen. One would think Korea is somehow…
You're saying I'm arrogant but I think you're the only arrogant and self-centered person here because you put too much importance in your own opinion when it doesn't hold weight because you're not Korean and whatever happens in their country won't affect you. You're downplaying the issue because you lack the ability to empathize with a history that got nothing to do with you.

It's just fair to hold her family accountable if her family amassed their generational wealth through the suffering of ordinary Koreans. The last update was that the government plans to confiscate all the wealth they got from their ancestors' betrayal—which is fair because they got it by stealing from their own people.
A country doesn't have to be special or unique to hold their colonizer accountable. My country was colonized by 3 countries—including Japan. To this day, my grandparents remember how they had to hide underground to avoid getting killed and how the Japanese military r4ped young girls and threw babies in the air and caught them with their bayonet. Comfort women haven’t received an apology from the Japanese government and those who betrayed our country enjoy the wealth they amassed from siding with the Japanese, which is a big slap to everyone who was bastardized by the Japanese. Hence, you can't compare how one country deals with generational trauma and holding someone accountable with another country because every country has its own system, beliefs, and approaches.
I don't agree with crucifying Ahn Hayoung to the point of making her lose her job, but I do agree with taking back the generational wealth she bragged about if it came from betraying their country. Ultimately, whatever we foreign fans think, the final say goes to actual Koreans.
I feel like the backlash wouldn't have been this bad if she didn't publicly take pride in her ancestors and generational wealth—which was built on the blood of other Koreans. I just don't understand how she didn't have any idea of her great-grandfather being a traitor when it seems to be on public records considering how quick knetz were able to dig up her ancestry.
Also, international fans really shouldn't downplay the weight of this issue considering this is tied to Korea's history with generational trauma involved and the Japanese government remains unapologetic of the atrocities they committed so it's harder for Koreans to forgive and move on (same with China's resentment against Japan, actually). It's not really our place to say how they should feel esp since from my understanding, the descendants of Korean traitors—like Ahn Hayoung—benefitted so much from the betrayal and lived a privilege life to this day while ordinary Koreans went through a period of starvation and poverty as they recovered from the crimes the Japanese committed.
I'm on episode 1, and honestly, I struggle with the drinking culture. Seeing young women get drunk doesn't make…
I don't understand it either because I almost never drink. But I do understand that drinking is cultural in Korea—they do it to socialize with their colleagues and friends often, and from what I gathered, it's almost rude to refuse. I remember BLACKPINK's Jisoo and Lee Hyeri mentioned that they both don't drink alcohol so they don't often get invited to go out by their friends.
the FL here is just so head over heels for the 2nd male lead 🙄 the ML doesn't stand a chance 🙄 it's absolutely…
I don't think so. Considering how calmly she took in the news of her bias having a girlfriend, I think she's more the type of fan who likes to worship her idol from afar—she wants to see him up close but doesn't have any intention of being with him. She sees him more of a star than an actual man.
I only got the gist of the whole issue but it seems to have started with similar clothes? But in all honesty and without shade (because I do watch her dramas and Zhou Ye's too so I don't dislike either of them), if the audio is true, it's wild to pick a fight with her when short drama actors are still seen as inferior to those who appear on tv and movies and afaik Zhou Ye is Dior's ambassador so obviously, she would wear Dior clothes to an event. I still hope the audio isn't true because she's too pretty to have a nasty spirit.
Edit: I just read the whole translation of the audio recording and from what I understood, she's not saying she's more popular than Zhou Ye but rather, the similar clothing incident was used by Zhou Ye's team to make her look bad and Zhou Ye the victim. Tbf that seems to be a pretty common tactic in the industry but whether the audio recording is true or not, this will also hurt her career for sure esp since she's aiming to transition to long dramas too.
I'm on ep 6 and her realizing kyeongnam is her ideal type reminds me of the feeling when you romantically dream about someone you know irl but aren't even close to and then you suddenly become hyperaware of them and everything they do.
I think you do need to go on a few dates with someone to realise if you want to properly date them or not and…
I've watched the writer's other works: Kiss Sixth Sense and Radio Romance—both had interesting premise then it went like a trainwreck. Kiss Sixth Sense went from being romantic with sexual undertone to being a thriller. Radio Romance was all about the trauma and both dramas have a love triangle. 🫠
