No, we are NOT talking about "sexual assault." He was never charge, tried, or convicted of "sexual assault," yet you continue to lie and say that he was. Why do you do that?

The 17-year-old had sex with him because she thought it would land her a role in a film or drama production. She prostituted herself for her career. I doubt she's traumatized. If she is, it's only because he didn't follow through and get her a part.

"I take a neutral stance." lol BS You're calling this man a rapist when he was never even charged with such a thing. You are disgusting.

Oh, just because you SAY you haven't committed crimes, I"m to believe that? Why? I"ll be like you and assume you HAVE committed crimes.

From a legal standpoint, this actor has lived a flawless life for 22 years. Get off his back.

Of course not. Doing that would require thought and discernment, both of which you lack.

AGE OF CONSENT in Korea is SIXTEEN, as it was in 2002. The ages of sexual consent and legal adulthood are two entirely different things..."bro." Educate yourself before writing dumb things.

He was convicted of two counts of participating in PROSTITUTION, which means she was technically a prostitute. She sold her body for what she hoped would be a role in a film/drama. Why wasn't she charged and tried for this?

What's disgusting is MDLers constantly calling celebrities "rapists" who were never charged, tried, or convicted of any such crime. I see it here all the time. It's a standard tactic of the Psycho Korean Celeb/Fan Suicide Machine that has done a great job of regularly killing off Korean entertainers over the last 25 years. You killed Lee Sun Kyun just five months ago.

You're a hateful, self-righteous dolt, the kind who continue to harass and trash celebrities until they kill themselves. As a proud member of the Psycho Korean Celeb/Fan Suicide Machine, you should be proud.

The fact that you are unable to spell out words like SEXUAL ASSAULT, RAPE, SEX, ETC., makes it clear you have severe issues surrounding the issue of SEX.

Oh, why are you attacking and condemning someone "you don't know?" He's lived an honest life for 22 years. It's far past time you got a life of your own.

He said he didn't know she was under age the first time they had sex and the court believed him. He did NOT rape or sexually assault this person. He was never charged, tried or convicted oof any such thing. You are a liar. Oh, and she was a prostitute under the law which convicted him.

The question is WHY, since he has been punished and paid his debt to society, never had any legal problems in 22 years, and went ten years without finding work in the industry, you are still obsessed with criticizing this man. You should be praising him and any other convicted offender who turns their life around. He's a great example of how the rehabilitation process should work. Instead, you have a revealing need to trash him all these years later

"Model citizen," as you would know if you could read, refers to his ACTIONS, not what's going on his head. Actions are more important than words, and especially thoughts. If a person lives a crime-free life for 22 freaking years, it's far past time for weirdos like you to stop obsessing about it. I'm wondering what YOUR sex-related hangups are, that you can't stop thinking about this.

Finally, you seem to suggest that people should be assumed to be committing crimes, rather than the opposite, which is that all are assumed innocent until proven guilty. This is what the judicial system is based on.

This man was on probation for several years, which means he was reporting to a parole office and being watched carefully. Plus, he has been under a microscope for 22 years. If he were committing crimes, there's a good chance we'd know about it. What crimes are YOU committing that we don't know about?

Get over yourself. He didn't "rape" anyone, which makes you a liar. The 17-year-old prostitute knew exactly what she was doing, give me a break.

It was TWENTY-TWO YEARS ago. He was punished and has been a model citizen ever since. He didn't get work for almost a DECADE. But no punishment is ever enough for blood-thirsty, self-righteous types like you.

Plus, he's a fantastic actor. Your sad, psychotic need to cancel imperfect people is far too common in Korea and the very reason Korean celebrities kill themselves right and left. We lost Lee Sun Kyun because of your type just months ago. I'm guessing you're angry LKY hasn't killed himself too so you can gloat over that.

I hope he lives to be a hundred and does lots more dramas and films just to piss you off.

Given that I like the actorJang Eui Soo a great deal, it's unfortunate I have to say this is a boring abomination. The other lead is a terrible actor.

5/10

Great third watch. This gets better every time.

Highly recommended. 9/10

lol What the hell are you talking about? The acting was excellent; they behaved like real people. I think the realistic acting went over your head.

I think you're on the wrong show page, cause your comment sure as hell doesn't apply to this drama. It's one of the best BL series around.

An insultingly stupid film. Red herrings right and left, people who act suspicious and make bizarre choices for the sole purpose of misdirecting the audience, cops who assemble crowds of hysterical townies to watch over their shoulders as they investigate, cops who send reporters to do what they should be doing, reporters who confront serial killers holding slaughterhouse killing tools in dark places instead of calling the police, just incredibly moronic stuff here.

Absolutely terrible.

1/10

In regard to the over-wrought comments below shrieking "gay-baiting!," how would deliberately marketing a film as gay, even before its opening, make sense? You'd be luring a few gay viewers in early but then word would spread and the gay audience would dry up quickly. Meanwhile, you've lost a lot of the MUCH larger straight audience, even non-homophobes, who might just not be interested in a gay romance...from a marketing perspective, this is ass-backward (if true).

Perhaps it's been teased as gay in gay media and advertising? Regarding the poster, there are a shit-ton of very NOT-gay films on MDL with posters featuring two dudes facing each other in various permutations. Are they all gay-baiting?

MDLers with political/social agendas need to get a grip. Nothing featuring Fandy can be less than a 9/10. :D

"...biggest queerbaiting scandal of the 21st century." lol "...queer committee..." lol

Have you seen it?
If so, in what way is it "queer bait?"
If you haven't seen it, why did you write this bombastic comment?
It sounds like it didn't fit your political/social agenda, so you're trashing it regardless of anything else.
If you did watch it, where did you watch it so I can judge the film for myself?
Am I correct that you're one of the people who deliberately down-rated this film?

Then there's the simple fact that any flick starring Fandy Fan cannot possibly be rated less than a 9/10.

have you seen it?

I found it terrible and dropped it, but I'm wondering what this person means by their statement.

It's terrible. A few suspenseful moments, but the plot is full of holes and on multiple occasions relies on gross stupidity and absurd choices to make things move along. I dropped it with 30 minutes to go. It got so lame I couldn't bear to continue watching.

I hate that Lee Young Hoon somehow got sucked into this awful thing.

4/10 for the cinematography and the makeup near the end, otherwise, it would be 1/10

What does "waiting for the tea" mean?

I liked him best, I think, in Moonlight Chicken. He was good in Waterboys too. But just yesterday I caught a glimpse of Earth and Mix's "Earth-Space Special" TV show...omg...I was horrified at how stupid it was and embarrassed for both of them.

Well, here the focus is on four different couplings, with differing levels of screen time, but it works very well. Kudos to the director for keeping me interested in ALL of them.
