So...yeah. Those links are worthless. None of them were charged, tried, or convicted of anything. Yet, somehow YOU know better than everyone else what went down. You're a lying liar, just as I said above.
Did you know ACCUSATIONS are not evidence, nor facts?
Seungri was never charged, tried, or convicted of any kind of sexual assault or rape either. For the other convictions he paid a huge fine and served 18 months in jail. He paid for his mistakes, and no one cares that you think he should be in prison for life and tortured daily to feed your disturbing sexual revenge fantasies.
My mom's basement is cool. Wall-to-wall, shag carpeting, faux wood paneling, three computer monitors, awesome game consoles, stereo, kitchen, shitter, wet bar, giant big screen, and more. My mom loves me.
Squid Game have the best marketing team - this is one of the good examples where they waited for the tide to turn…
A "little" extreme? Korea has driven dozens of celebrities to suicide over the last 25 years, like no other country on Earth. The media, netizens, public are insanely vicious, and regularly make demands of their celebrities that are considered WAY out of bounds almost anywhere else that has an active entertainment culture. There is a mile-wide Puritanical streak hangover from the days of the military dictatorships that forced their "morality laws" on the country.
Meanwhile, Korea has the highest rates of alcoholism and suicide in the developed world; twice that of the U.S. for example. The pressure on everyone is crazy, and it's multiplied by a hundred if you're famous.
How's he getting more hate than the rapists, the cheater and sexual abusers from the squid game cast. Even seungri…
Could you please provide links to information containing specifics about who in this show have been charged, tried, and convicted of sexual abuse or rape? Words mean things. Thank you.
I have watched quite a few Korean films set DURING the Korean War, but not many if any, set in the immediate aftermath. In that regard, this was a welcome new perspective.
Both MLs are excellent, as are all supporting characters. A few cliches showed up but none that put me off the film as a whole. I liked that what I thought would become a typical friends-to-enemies tale, with one all-good and the other evil, didn't go that way. I love films that deal with reality: shades of gray.
Production values are first-rate. I was particularly impressed with the real feel of the street settings and the hundreds of extras, something that is always crucial to pulling off a story set in a bustling, crowded city environment.
I have no idea why he stepped away, although I'm about to research to see if I can find out. Being a celebrity…
Are your balls really that huge? I've heard otherwise.
"But it's still only a few in total..." No, it's not "a few," it is one after another after another and if you bothered to educate yourself about it, you would know that to be true. American celebs kill themselves very rarely, especially when compared to Korea. Jesus, it says all that need be said that I have to tell you this. But then, it's clear you are among the WILLFULLY ignorant.
The U.S. has tons of problems, #1 being the douche bag that was just re-elected to become our new dictator, and I don't defend the country for any of those things. Our suicide rate is one of the things that doesn't need defending.
U.S. suicides per 100,000: 14.2 Korea suicides per 100,000: 27.3 (nearly double the U.S. rate, and the highest rate by far among OECD nations. I know you don't know what OECD nations are but you have google too)
Why are you playing around with raw numbers when you know the U.S. population, at 336M, is more than SIX times that of Korea, at 52M? lol Gosh, it almost seems as if your comment is meant to mislead and obfuscate. hahaha
Finally, your hilarious attempt to compare Hollywood to Korea's entertainment complex regarding forced sex/negotiated sex/sexual harassment/rape/etc. is laughable. If you do any research/reading at all, which you clearly don't, you'd know that all of those things are standard operating procedure in Korea just as they are everywhere movies and music are made. Not defending it by any means; just injecting the ugly reality into your fantastical BS.
I suggest you stop trying to defend the indefensible. If your shriveled up little testicles were actually "huge," you wouldn't feel the need to do so.
you are dumb..timing matters.. if a show comes before and did achieve sthg at its own time which was rare.. it…
You are a moron. (Just resorting to your level of insult, nothing more. You might actually be merely stupid.) So now, you have reduced the meaning of "masterpiece" to something that moves a genre in some direction, no matter what it is or to what degree. Yours is an excellent example of how loosely the term "masterpiece" is used here on MDL, to the point where it means nothing. Thanks for illustrating my point better than I have.
it is a masterpiece, nothing to do with bad buddy btw.
I love ITSAY and IPYTM too. They're near the top of my best BL series list. I have never called them "masterpieces" because even though I rated them 10/10, they are not without flaw. Your mileage may vary.

No, never heard that. I "like" this film a LOT. That does not make it a "masterpiece." You're avoiding the questions and the point at hand, so I'll move on.

So...would you say absolutely everything about this movie, every single possible little thing, is perfect? This is the film equivalent of Michelangelo's "David?"
First half: Quirky, distinctive, funny, and interesting. Second half: Increasingly disjointed, slow, and eventually, absolutely terrible. It's as if two different people wrote and directed each half. The first person should be praised. The second person should be shot.
The near-end beach scene was endless, dull, boring af and just plain weird with terrible acting, pacing, and dialogue. There is a great idea and concept going on there but it is executed in the worst possible way. That Aihara chick should be institutionalized, and not just for bad acting. There is nothing about her that explains Yoshida's interest in her, which comes out of nowhere.
Skip it altogether or maybe watch the first half and skip the rest.
Yes, but I forgot it has a $2 per month fee. I find it worthwhile because I find enough series and flicks there I don't see anywhere else. However, here is a link to the film on a free site. Enjoy!
I love this movie, but I wish MDLers would stop calling everything above average a "masterpiece." This flick is excellent and far above average, but on MDL it is classified as a "masterpiece" right along with the BL "Bad Buddy," which tells you all you need to know.

Please stop saying "masterpiece."
Thank you.
