No, Russia does not currently support Israel. While the two nations maintain diplomatic and economic ties, Russia’s official stance has shifted to strong criticism of Israel’s military actions in Gaza and active support for Palestinian factions, including Hamas. Funny that Israel has a diverse population, is pro pride, while Palestinians will throw them off buildings and Hamas is dedicated to the eradication of the J people. But that's not genocide, is it? Read their Charter. It can be found with a simple online search.

Yes. Two of the most hated groups in the world: One begins with the letter J and the other with the letter C. Throw in "W" if you want too, though W has nothing to do with being C or J. The key word starts with H and causes D(ivision).

No. You are supposed to watch it and think for yourself.

Russia does not support Israel. This show has nothing to do with Israel or Gaza or Hamas. It's spy vs spy - Communist NK vs Constitutional Republic SK. Russia is highly centralized authoritarian regime dominated by Putin. Local bad guys think they're the big dogs but they find out they're not.

At least watch a couple episodes and decide for yourself if you want to watch anymore or not. I and many others are enjoying it: it's action but it's also funny and the whole premise is cool. He's a quiet dad who turns out to be a real badass. Who knew? That, "You don't know who I am or what I'm capable of but you're going to find out" trope. Gotta love the crazy big guy too.

There seem to be fewer and fewer great shows anymore and this is one of them. I'm really getting a kick out of Yoon Kyung-ho. Starting to see more of him as well as another guy who is also in this show Yoon Byung-hee. I'm always a fan of character actors who play supporting roles.

Propaganda? Where do you get that from?

Yes! Maybe Korean show makers can focus more on actor skills than perfectly symmetrical cookie-cutter faces.

He does such a good job that I can't stand to look at him. Hope to see him play a good guy somewhere so I can. lol

One thing I always wondered about this is how can everyone born in the same year be the same way? Nobody has classmates in school that are the same. What other factors are there to make the differences?

Wow. The actor is NOT the character, they just play that character. Who cares what they do? You should see some of the stories of the greatest Hollywood actors - it would make your hair curl! I have no idea who she is beyond her skills but Creative types usually are eccentric, or weird, or amoral, and many other things. It often comes with genius and she is pretty brilliant as an actor. It works both ways: the ones who can play nice people well are jerks irl, and the best villains are often played by people that everyone loves irl. (In real life)

I've watched quite a few K-Dramas in the last couple years (yes, I'm new to this) and she is the first female actor that I actually really like. She's so good in this role. Now I see she started out in stage plays. The best actors always start out on the stage. No wonder I took notice of her! She's probably the most attractive woman I've seen yet also. For me, true beauty is not perfection, it's character. Both she and Heo Nam Jun are strikingly good looking in spite of & because of their flaws. His face is truly like fine cut Jade and their relationship is remarkable in that they bring out the best in each other. I can't wait to see the end next week but I also dread it because I have grown to love & admire these two so much.

Also, can anyone explain to me why moves her body in odd ways: angle of her head, leaning, odd walk. I'm guessing it has to do with that time she came from but what is it? Anyone know what I'm talking about here?

My French is rusty but I think I got the gist of it.

I'm guessing their first language is not Korean? I'd rather speak French than Korean too if that was the case.

Agreed! She is.

It's not baiting, it's asking a question. I think in the end, it's the script, or the story. Something isn't right. for me, she's kind of selfish. Matthew is too self sacrificing. both are too much. Hope it straightens out.

From my view: he's been abused verbally and emotionally by his sister for a long time. It is a survival mechanism to be that way.

Yeah, feel sorry for the character. I'm rooting for him to get with the girl who liked Matthew.

As usual, I prefer the side characters more than the main ones - they are more fun. Why are so many women main characters so obnoxious sometimes. This is the worst. I rarely have used this word but she is such a brat. He's trying to work and she wants attention. She doesn't realize how important this is to him? He's done so much for her, gone out of his way for her and it's just not enough?
