The news outlets needs to take a bigger responsibility as well. First they hammer the war drum for 2 weeks and…
Me either. I'm in the US. It's been a nightmare here the last 11 years, ever since Tr*mp the douche bag appeared on the political scene. Some media is coming around now as things get worse and worse every day, but it was revolting to watch corporate media kissing his ass in the wake of his re-election in November, 2024. They fell all over themselves to bend the knee and kiss the ring.
I spent months in depression after that election. Horrible.
If celebrities were usually tortured, no one would want to be one... But most of them are fighting a lot to be…
Korean celebrities ARE tortured by the media and public. Do you dispute that?
And are you volunteering to judge for us which celebs are artists and which are mere celeb wannabes and therefore fair game? You seem to be saying that if someone wants to be famous in Korea, they deserve whatever they get once they ARE famous, no matter how unfair, vicious, inaccurate, or cruel? You seem to imply that the Korean press and public OWN famous Koreans and thus are free to do to them as they please. You seem to be justifying the madness that has driven dozens of Korean celebrities to suicide over the last 25 years.
Is that what you're doing and saying? Because if it is, you are the problem.
Are you paid by the company or something? Why are you riding so hard for them? Not liking a 16 yo & 21 yo…
Are you alleging that a 22-year-old actor ACTING opposite a 15-year-old actor to portray a FICTIONAL story about a non-sexual romantic relationship is "pedophilia" or even comes close?
Like most people here who throw around the "P" word to cast aspersions on commenters they can't win an argument against, you don't even understand the term. I'll help: pedophilia: sexual perversion in which children are the preferred sexual object specifically : a psychiatric disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a PREPUBESCENT CHILD prepubescent: of, relating to, being in, or occurring in the period of development immediately PRECEDING puberty child: a young person especially between infancy and PUBERTY
We can safely assume that Fuse, the character and the actor, has pubes. pubes: : the hair that appears on the lower part of the hypogastric region at puberty
No one said you aren't entitled to your deeply suspicious obsession about a six-year age gap between young men…
hmmm...it wouldn't have been possible to reply to your comments seven times if you hadn't left seven comments to reply to. See how that works?
You have the ridiculous hangup; I'm arguing against your ridiculous hangup. You can't reasonably justify your obsession, so in a classic act of projection, you're attempting to flip your shit onto me. Lame.
Why would you prefer them being apart, after they have had a long time apart and they want to be together again?
Your experience does not apply to ALL other similar experiences.
Your position is about punishing someone for events of the past, because you bear a grudge that directs your thinking. That's not a healthy place from which to evaluate a situation and make decisions. In short, just because YOUR best choice was to end things, that doesn't make it the best choice for anyone else. Every situation is different and requires its own resolution.
Finally, Teh did cheat on Oh, EMOTIONALLY and that is the primary issue. To obsess over ONE KISS, even if Teh would have liked much more than that, is childish. The question is, does he want that at the end of IPYTM? The answer is no, not by a long shot.
Please explain in detail how a sixteen-year-old actor is traumatized by acting out what we've seen onscreen here.Would…
When I was 14, I had a little experience with a doctor in his 40s. I have always been glad it happened, and suffered not one sleepless night over it. I could go into detail about why I felt that way, but that's irrelevant. There are a LOT of people like me. And that wasn't even a dating relationship; it was a sexual one. To allege that all teens who have romantic relationships with "adults," let alone one with a tiny 16/22 age gap, is absurd and presumptuous on your part.
But we are far afield here. This discussion is about whether or not a 15-year-old actor is automatically traumatized by ACTING out a romantic/sexual relationship with a 22-year-old actor on the set of a live-action production of a FICTIONAL story. (Assuming that this is NOT a porn production, of course.) The answer to that is NO.
The news outlets needs to take a bigger responsibility as well. First they hammer the war drum for 2 weeks and…
100%
Except that the news media will never "take responsibility" on their own. They will only do so if forced by lawsuits and/or stricter laws surrounding the dissemination of unverified, slanderous, false information.
However, that will be hard to do while respecting free speech concerns. And, of course, the Korean news media is skilled at covering their ass with weasel words such as "reportedly," "allegedly," "some say," "it has been said," "many believe," "observers point out," and the lamest of all, "netizens say."
I wonder if Sota is self aware. Is he aware of all the signals he's throwing off?? All these breadcrumbs we're…
I think he was aware the next morning, in retrospect, and that's why he said to Natsuki that he maybe over-shared the night before. I think he is being honest, as he discovers that he DOES feel most himself with Natsuki, and not with the sister. It sounds like it's the first time in his life he doesn't feel he has to pretend to be someone he's not. I also think he was figuring that out as he told Natsuki about it, in the way that we often don't understand our feelings until we vocalize them.
No one cares, and it wasn't on your watchlist, loser.
And you were upset by my reply to your one-year-old comment, enough so that you came here a year later to reply?
Those are 17 other losers just like you, eating their words a year later with KSH back in action with new projects and suing the shit out of the people who lied about him. I wish he could sue all you weirdo netizens, too.
Knowing what we all know now, you've put this drama BACK on your watchlist where it never was, right? lol
Episode 4: Rock definitely knows what's going on...
This just got a lot deeper. A very well-written episode, and in a way I didn't expect. So...to summarize, Sota feels like "himself" with Natsuki, but not with his sister. Things that make you go hmmm... :)
Sota shirtless. It's striking how natural that strawberry-blond hair looks on Natsuki; fits his coloring somehow.
When I first saw this show's poster/thumbnail, I had no idea how into I'd end up being.

You're welcome.

Lame.
Not interested, or does watching a story acted out about two teens the same age falling in love freak you out?
Your position is about punishing someone for events of the past, because you bear a grudge that directs your thinking.

Amoral bastards, all of them.
Did you read the article?
2. You've done the math on all those possibilities, have you? lol
Fuck knetz psychos.
2. How do you know how long it would take him to make it back?
Just another way Korea tortures its celebrities.
I think he is being honest, as he discovers that he DOES feel most himself with Natsuki, and not with the sister.
It sounds like it's the first time in his life he doesn't feel he has to pretend to be someone he's not.
I also think he was figuring that out as he told Natsuki about it, in the way that we often don't understand our feelings until we vocalize them.
ummm...you already did that.
Those are 17 other losers just like you, eating their words a year later with KSH back in action with new projects and suing the shit out of the people who lied about him.
I wish he could sue all you weirdo netizens, too.
Knowing what we all know now, you've put this drama BACK on your watchlist where it never was, right? lol
She gets awfully excited about anything that keeps him around the house.
I'm looking forward to seeing Sota slap one of those "Job Well Done!" stickers on Natsuki's little butt. :P
That's what I'm hoping.
Rock definitely knows what's going on...
This just got a lot deeper.
A very well-written episode, and in a way I didn't expect.
