I'd commented earlier that the sound engineer seems as if s/he lives off a diet of Red Bull and Amphetamines...

I would love that, too.

I really don't think they were getting mad, as such. They were asking for honest impressions from others...

One last reply to this:

"Suffering in the distant past is no excuse for irresponsible and harmful behavior in the present. Is it so hard to understand?"

If you are referring to the accusers, then what you characterize as irresponsible and harmful, I would categorize as brave and laudable.

There is a world of difference between confronting poorly thought out and expressed opinions on sensitive real world issues and bullying.

A number of your posts suggest that you may have an overly fond attachment to the actor that may be distorting your reactions to his accusers: hence the therapy comment.

Thanks for trying to diagnose me but I don't fit the DSM criteria for it. Have a nice day.

You didn't just call them bunnies. You also called them losers and snitches. That crossed the line into reportable conduct.

You don't know those people so let me be crystal-clear: You do not know how severely they've been effected. You do not know what their lives are like. You basically know next to nothing about them and you have no right to pass judgment on them.

Now, if you are calling me a vigilante, I don't see it that way.

What I am is a retired psychiatric nurse who has worked a great deal with both abusers and victims of abuse. My years of experience has shown me just how difficult it is for the victims of abuse to be heard and treated with basic respect. It's shown me that abusers can make remarkable progress and become much better people in the end: but they had to take full responsibility first.

I can tell by what you write that you don't have the depth of knowledge and experience in abuse and trauma to make the kind of statements you try to state with such authority.

I am not a vigilante but I have enough experience to know that someone may very well come home from being bullied today and come to MDL because the dramas and the board are their refuge from their torment. I also know how harmful it would be for them to read your post with all of that careless name calling. I'm not being a vigilante. I'm confronting your thoughtless behaviour and reported your post to advocate on their behalf. End.of.story.

QUOTE from rosalala: "Because a bunch of bunnies with a strong inferiority complex waited 15 years for revenge against Ji-Soo. And in fact, their revenge mainly devastated the drama, the production team, the other actors, and the spectators who were waiting for a coherent drama. With of course important financial damages, which could not even be compensated by suing this clique of losers for defamation, since they posted anonymous unverifiable messages, like any good snitch since the dawn of mankind."

Calling victims of violence bunnies, losers, and snitches? No, no, no...

You made the Baby Jesus cry and you're getting reported for posting insensitive and offensive content.

I think it's safe for me to say that I don't know you're right: that's your opinion. Sounds like most people are willing to give it a go, though. What you do is, of course, up to you...

Personally, I don't consider Manner of Death to be fluff, at all. It's a murder mystery that sucks you in and it is worth giving your full attention while watching. Given that it's a mystery, hesitations will be found but they are reasonable and serve a purpose. It's a first for the BL genre and 1000 Stars just barely nudges it out of my personal number 1 spot. To me, if MoD is fluff, then what BL series isn't?

Yeah, PhuBoo's going to be giving Tian some Heck, again, come next episode ; )

Bitter?

*Hai*

yep

They're so overdone: it's hateful...

I thought you loved shirtless men!!! ;-p

Ooooh: 8-/ Not to be a party pooper but you might want to scroll through the threadstream for posts about the book, before making that purchase. One character, in particular, seems to be portrayed very differently in the book... obviously, though, it's up to you. =)

QUOTE from historylover67: "What he did was to follow the commands of his bosses at the studio and release an 'All Purpose" apology that was is felt (my standard as an HR Professional of 34 years) to be extremely real, YET says not one word about who, what, when how, why, where, or even what might have been done to so grievously injure people in the past. Nothing he said relates to anyone anywhere specifically, yet the statement is full of grief. This was written by a very frightened young man knowing he was on the brink of losing his career and being caught up in a maelstrom that may have nothing to do with the reality of his life."

And by my standards, as a retired psychiatric nurse, I say it's nothing of the kind. It's strictly Pro Forma by Korean standards. This is the industry's SOP to buy themselves some time to find out as much as they can as quickly as they can to see if they can convince accusers to contact them (like they tried to do in the company's first statement) and see if they can get them to hush up with Greasy Won.

Next, after a bit, they issue a statement that Ji Soo has been let go from the production and announce that he'll be "joining" (IE: running off to hide in) the miltary. Pro Forma all ovah! They did deny the "sexual violence" aspect (because they likely sussed out that people had insufficient proof beyond their own testimony but copped out with the "school violence" (among which were accusations of beatings.)

As you yourself indicated, Korea has a robust system for defamation cases: someone who is more likely to be innocent would come out with something like another recently accuser actor Park Hye Soo did: "Park Hye Soo denies all the allegations through her agency Studio Santa Claus Entertainment and they have also announced that they will take legal action on any slander against their artist."

Anyone innocent would take such an approach. So Ji Soo's saying sorry and running away to the military is more likely a cynical feign being played in the hopes that he might be marketable again in a few years. It's been done before and screams Shady AF.

In your lengthy post you didn't say one word about any possibility that any of the accusations might have merit, displaying a complete lack of empathy for anyone but your entitled acting (and more and more keeps coming out) and self admitted (once his cover was blown) perpetrator. Your compassion is indescribable and I bet that Harvey Weinstein would have wept openly in the docket to have had you as a juror.

I can't stand them, either. Saccharine AF...

Tian has become far less selfish than he used to be. He does tend to put himself in harm's way a little too often, though.

There might be some upset over it, but I think it will work out in the end. Don't worry. =)
