haven't seen that one unfortunately! again, always open to be proven wrong in a new role, and it's been a while

it frustrated me so much bc until the last ten minutes of s1 literally everything was solved only for them to undo it!

agreed

unfortunately i'm in the minority that did not like that show lol but i do always hope to be proven wrong/open to being blown away so we'll see. i wasn't too impressed by her so far but everything can change with a new role.

if you want to see more of sungjae i recommend mystic pop-up bar and golden spoon! the first one is very wholesome fantasy, one of my favorites :)

not a fan of the actress nor big on the genre so let's hope sungjae pulls me through

i really don't understand where y'all are getting these very extreme reads about his age, stuff he hasn't even said. imo it's normal that he's expressing some emotions over it as 1) he literally had a life-threatening condition which can just happen. he could have gotten his intestines twisted in multiple ways. and 2) he's been most known for taking on very action-heavy roles. i used to do dance - all of my coaches had back issues and ruptured discs by 40. my friend who did judo most of his life has barely working knees at 26. your unhealthy lifestyle in the entertainment industry seems to be implying substances when it's just a man doing a job and feeling the repercussions of it - just how a construction worker feels it, or my dad who did sports events and worked on radio has much shittier hearing at his age than someone else would.

lmao i also laughed but thinking about it... could very much be true

i also thought he'd be enlisting but it's smart to juice out a drama that would air while he's away (something i think kang taeoh unfortunately couldn't do). imo they have enough time if they plan the filming correctly and i think they saw that the production schedule would work before signing on. also he could get an approved extension until the job is completed

yes he has six months but he can also have an extension until he's wrapped this project if it's granted

i mean there are plenty of romcoms on all my custom lists so i feel like this is a very weird thing to say to a stranger online lmao a show can simply be bad. actually i thought they had no chemistry, the storyline was all over the place, the plot was lost by episode three, it was extremely fatphobic AND no reason to put the actress in a disgustingly offensive fatsuit. i could go on

and for moving just cause i mentioned it i watched the first seven episodes where absolutely nothing happened so i just gave up bc if it takes you seven episodes to get interesting, you're not really good are you

this actor was a miss for me in three projects (this, gumiho and breaking up) i've seen so i think i'll stop giving him chances

i feel like i watched a different show bc i found this very bad... but then again i didn't like moving either

he literally was though.. them being hurt by him was a canon event in every single timeline yet in this one they just miraculously don't get hurt... he escapes captivity, escapes prison, is always a threat to them specifically, yet suddenly a lil car crash stops him. it makes no sense. it's stupid to build up half your show like a thriller then absolutely drop the ball with four episodes to go. also he tried to kidnap his fan... when in a timeline sol is mistaken for the fan... i'm sorry but with any explanation the math does not math!

oh so now i'm ANGRY. that's such a cop out!! not to mention, makes ZERO sense!!! maybe in the past, but not for the present- why did he keep being a threat????? and to ultimately get rid of him so easily? so this time prison will stick??? it was stupid!!

in the context of public figures "poor" doesn't need to equate to starving - it's more about the expectations of wealth and them making mayhaps an average office worker income. if he was renting a one bedroom apartment eating ramen a few times a week he could have definitely considered himself "poor".

but also, you wrongly presume he would have gotten paid a lot of money. just bc he's billed as a lead in 2013 doesn't mean he would have been getting as much as say, kim jaewook as a lead in 2013. a western example as a comparative: both anne hathaway and her male costar were LEADS of her recent romcom - she got 7 million dollars. he got 400 thousand. you're also looking at when those movies AIRED not when they were filmed. he could have had steady releases but gone without a job for months. again, for comparison, that same movie was filmed in 2022. it didn't release until 2024. did he have advertisements? was he doing variety? winning awards? a household name?

not to mention if you get paid maybe in the range of 50-100k or even 200-500k, you have to pay taxes, your agents and managers take a cut, you pay your stylist per look, need to pay hair and make up, not to mention gyms, trainers, supplements, any type of treatments, etc. getting let's say 50k for three months of filming and god knows how many more months of finding a job before that and after, it basically comes down to basic annual income, or making ends meat. an actress actually broke down how much money she made off a 22ep per season show that lasted about 5 or so seasons. it was in the end less than what someone with a 9-5 would bring in. she was working 14hr days. if we compare that, he definitely would not have been a catch.

1) they do 2) it's not my first kdrama nor my first time seeing fatphobia in a kdrama 3) just bc that's part of their social norms doesn't mean it's right. some cultures were cannibals and we don't sit here saying "that's how they are".

and most importantly 4) i get to make valid criticism without being implied that I'M(?????) somehow ignorant?

that doesn't mean it's right lmao

like i don't understand why your reply to valid criticism is: that's just what they think/how they do it. i know it is and it's far from my first kdrama. however i get to call a spade a spade - and a crap fatphobic storyline a crap fatphobic storyline.

no change ever happened by people simply saying "well it is what it is"

and to clear up: i was never shocked, i was disappointed. i will NEVER "get used" to this, just how i won't get used to their colorism or racism. and no one should. we need to hold society to a standard.

the main plot is definitely what's keeping me so i am giving them a chance to hopefully improve upon the sister's storyline however i believe we as a society should have moved beyond the need of having to learn that fat people are human

a great storyline definitely could have been made even with unfortunately utilizing a fatsuit bc i understand they'd need an actress who can do both. there's definitely a level of eating disorder there and if it was handled well it could have been wonderful. imagine actually having a fat actress play the role where the character gets to be fat and fly after sorting out her emotions? it's not so much about her however as much as it's ultimately pushing forth some very negative ideas and stigmas around fatness.

fat people are not ugly fat people can be and are beautiful and do not deserve the treatment they get on the show. so far both the FL and her sister who are praised as beautiful are awful yet no one is writing comments on their looks. maybe try to read within the lines of what i am trying to say and how the treatment both onscreen and off is awful. you probably aren't impacted by this, i'm not directly impacted either, but your friends definitely are. and if you tell them you think this way - imagine coming to your friend and telling them being fat makes them ugly?

fat people can be beautiful
