I give the filmmakers credit for trying; this is an important subject that doesn't get enough attention. That said, there are a lot of rough spots, and the acting is amateurish.
For thousands of years, organized religion has taught countless millions to hate themselves.
Yeah, it’s really disturbing to hear about. It’s important to wait for the full facts and let the legal process…
lol I admit nothing of the sort. I owe you no excuses. You thought you were the comment police, and now you think you are a prosecuting attorney. Oh man...
Yeah, it’s really disturbing to hear about. It’s important to wait for the full facts and let the legal process…
lol I'll answer one question; I have no problem with accepting a guilty verdict on this matter. However, we still don't know exactly, specifically, what this person is accusing him of doing. "Inappropriate touching" is pretty vague and could mean a lot of things. Can you point out where I ever said that I know KK to be innocent? No, no you can't.
My argument all along has been that Knetz cancel culture has destroyed KK's career before the matter even goes to trial, and he will never be able to repair that damage. He has been accused, tried, convicted, and punished. The presumption of innocence is meaningless. A trial is redundant. And this Knetz cancel culture, which destroys reputations and careers and has led to dozens of celebrity suicides, needs to be dealt with.

Why haven't you blocked me? How odd that you continue to read my comments and respond when you have other options. By the way, you just called me a "liar." Should I run to the mods?

Gaslight? Dear god...
There is no gaslighting in my reply, nor is there an attempt to "make it sound like I haven't done anything wrong." I didn't address the content of my back and forth with Alayzia20 in any way whatsoever. Furthermore, my reply to you is entirely civil.
I haven't done anything wrong, so why would I say that I have?
Why would I be blocked by MDL? Because I don't agree with your opinions? Because I rarely hesitate to express my point of view? Are you saying I should be blocked because I think Kimimura Kenshin is getting screwed over?
The admins haven't blocked me because I follow the rules of engagement on MDL, which are clearly listed at the top of every thread. If you think I should be banned for "disrespect," I urge you to scroll up and read the nastiness Alayzia20 has spewed my way.
Only someone who wants other people canceled and silenced because they don't like the other person's views, would write what you just wrote.
"Whatever the case I think most of us are starting to get bored with this clown show." Who is "us" and why do you presume to know what "us" is bored with? This statement is the height of arrogance and condescension.
If you are incapable of scrolling past my comments without reading them, I encourage you to block me. But this isn't about you being "bored" with my comments, it's about you wanting me silenced so nobody else can read my comments, either. Your attitude is censorious. Cuts no ice with me.
You might be shocked to know the number of MDL friends I have, almost all of whom request me, not vice versa. I will likely get a few new ones from people who read this Alayzia20 thread and agree with me. There are a lot of member/lurkers here who have been intimidated into silence by swarming comment police. And we're bored with your Knetz destruction of actors/entertainers.
Block me, ignore me, or continue to read everything I write so you can express your outrage in response. Your choice.
Yeah, it’s really disturbing to hear about. It’s important to wait for the full facts and let the legal process…
Oh. You misinterpreted my reply. My feelings are not hurt. :) Believe me, I've had much nastier stuff hurled at me than what Alayzia20 has thrown my way, and I survived.
You don't need to apologize. Good lord, compared to what she and I have been going at it with, your message was downright angelic. :)
Nah...couldn't stick with it. Too much hammy acting, from the lead right down to the townspeople. Also, lame little inconsistencies and plot holes all over the place. Overall, it feels like a bunch of community theatre people got hold of professional equipment and filmed themselves putting on a silly operetta. I know what's going to happen from the poster anyway, so why stick around?
Bae Doo Na is the worst Korean actress of all time. Cannot stand her. Her presence wrecks every show she's in.…
THANK YOU. I can't stand BDN either, but every time I've expressed that sentiment here, I get hate-swarmed. I cannot do better than your description of her "acting" in your first paragraph. She is a great example of a plain-Jane, nepo-baby who everyone pretends is a fantastic actress or actor because...hell if I know. "Intellectually disabled" hahaha Yes!
Yeah, it’s really disturbing to hear about. It’s important to wait for the full facts and let the legal process…
Who is it that you think you are? Comment police? I see you did not tell Alayzia20 that "it's time for you to take the L and move on please." Why would that be the case?
If you don't like a comment thread because you find it unfunny, you are one hundred percent allowed to not read it. If you can't restrain yourself, it's no one else's responsibility.
Imagine, someone who can't be responsible for their own reading choices telling someone else to "...be a responsible adult."
Yeah, it’s really disturbing to hear about. It’s important to wait for the full facts and let the legal process…
"You’re here, writing walls of text..." lol Says the person who has written several "walls of text" in this thread.
"while you spiral into this insult-laced essay is just ironic." Says the person who last night left a "wall of text" behind a spoiler button that was one, long, unhinged rant full of obscenities, cursing, name-calling, and rage.
Oh, look: It seems you've erased that rant from this thread. How telling. We can't have anyone seeing and reading what you're all about, right from the horse's mouth.
"Maybe I’m contradicting myself by writing a whole essay here..." Yes, yes you are.
This last screed boils down to, "I am right and you are wrong, because...well, because...I SAY SO! My walls of text are righteous and yours are evil, because...I SAY SO." Stamping your foot and writing endless comments to yourself reveal your immaturity. You write quite well, but sadly, what you write is PC hogwash I've heard a hundred times.
This film, with its layers, complications, and shades of gray, is far over your head. Stick to Disney.
You knew I was a gay white man because I make no effort to hide what I am on my profile, unlike you. Yeah, sure you're a Black woman. lol I'm a tree frog.
You expected me to "respond to" your last screed? Not hardly. Like that vicious, brain-diarrhea deserves a response? Was that you "responding to " me and seeking further engagement? hahaha
oooh...I'm a "misogynist," I'm a "sexist," I'm an "identity weaponizer," oh boo hoo hoo. How shall I live? And you are the most unoriginal writer I've read here in some time. SJW this, SJW that, blah blah blah. It's all so tired. Get some thoughts of your own.
"Blamed and hated the queen..." omg, lol Did I blame and hate the Chief too? Or do you only accuse me of that regarding the Queen to shore up the "misogynist" angle? :D
It is really something how free you feel to make bigoted assumptions and statements and call names in service to the idea that I am the bigot. I hear there's a sale on self-awareness at the SJW store. Get some.
Yeah, it’s really disturbing to hear about. It’s important to wait for the full facts and let the legal process…
Why would she be attacked?
Ohhh...you think alleged victims of sexual crimes should be ashamed...I see. Well, I don't feel that way. Why should she hide her identity otherwise? No reason I can think of.
Well, I do suppose she wants to hide her identity so that if and when it's proven that she's lying, she won't have to be responsible for her false accusation...nah, that couldn't be it.

Thin story, even for a short film, and no chemistry between the two leads.
Han Hyun Jun is one of my fave BL actors, but he's got nothing here to work with.
The other lead is...blah.

I have no means of knowing if what the commenter said was true or false.
How is that even up for debate?
I am thankful for your not-caring. Now block me.
There's a fine line between stubborness and obnoxiousness.
You've crossed it.
I owe you no excuses.
You thought you were the comment police, and now you think you are a prosecuting attorney. Oh man...
Block me.
You're not interested in a discussion.
Your last few replies are pathetic attempts to provoke...something.
"Threaten" you? lol Lord, the crazy just keeps getting crazier.
I have no problem with accepting a guilty verdict on this matter. However, we still don't know exactly, specifically, what this person is accusing him of doing. "Inappropriate touching" is pretty vague and could mean a lot of things. Can you point out where I ever said that I know KK to be innocent? No, no you can't.

Your other questions are too lame to bother with.
How odd that you continue to read my comments and respond when you have other options.
By the way, you just called me a "liar."
Should I run to the mods?

Even worse than IU.
Gong Yoo is always great, but putting up with BDN to enjoy GY is not worth it.
