It's not half known information. He openly, publicly admitted to his wrongdoings
Good for You. I wish everyone was as strong as You. Though, I think it matters for many people. The fact he already apologised is already a big step forward. If we can educate people and show that those bullies lose at the end it may avoid these kind of situations in the future. If we just overlook this bad behaviour people can think it's socially acceptable and it certainly shouldn't be.

It's true. However even if he was "just" a bully and the sexual harassment allegations are not true, there are still victims of his bullying and people are right to judge him for that. The fact that sexual harassment is not true doesn't change the fact he is now judged for what he did wrong rather than the amount and types of his wrongdoings. So @soullife it's not judging without knowledge or believing what we want as You said, it's judging for the bullying many victims for years and ruining their lives. Not the other way round.
I would like to vote for "Eternal vote" but it's a cdrama isn't it? So I was kinda confused with the title "...outstanding k-dramas...". Although the list is great! :)
Women empowerment, LGBT related and mental health issues are included here and it's done extremely well. Usually Korean dramas (especially short versions) don't include these topics or they are done poorly but although the plot was pretty predictable, these things made the series really worth it. Also I loved the housemates friendship and the ending. As for web series it's really one of best handled ones
I agree that I love how the immature parts were taken out and that Dae Song will get a happy ending. Wu Bo Song…
Totally agree. And if the Korean version would have been made into a whole series instead of a mini-series it would be perfect to balance plot and timing and include those best scenes from cdrama. I guess there's need to be made Japanese or another one haha
I love how they changed the plot for Woo Dae Song comparing to Chinese version in ep 22. Instead of proposal - asking to be a girlfriend, he's not giving up for Heon's sake (like in drama) and the sparkles between him and female doctor gives us hope he will finally find his happiness. Also, they omitted the jealousy scene (when Chinese version of Haen brought fake girlfriend which was really immature). In conclusion they cut off all immature parts and left the good, prosperous ones. I like it! In previous episodes some thing were worse, some good but I'm really happy the ending is getting better ad better :)
I don't see his actions a problem at all. He is not creepy or abusing her situation. He is confident and direct…
I agree with the comments here. I think the problem are not decisions of the ML, which are actually reasonable according to the situation, but rather how he is portrayed by screenwriters and the plot itself. There is this typical drama thing with "poor lady being protected by a perfect guy" and since he's a male lead with almost no background story they tend to show his actions in an exaggerated way and this makes it no trustworthy at all. There is a thin line between being protective over somebody and forcing them to do sth. It's same with age gap here, there is only one year difference but they make a big thing out of it. The characters' development and story is very shallow and so are they actions. Even though the idea and their acting is great the screenwriters just failed their job.
I heard some people say that the webtoon isn't as good as the drama
I guess it depends on whether you start to read webtoon before or after watching the drama. I'm reading the webtoon for months and I don't think one is better or worse, they just gives totally different vibes. The characters and basic plot is same but webtoon revolves around Ji Kyung, her emotions ,her choices and her love. Drama is a whole big, complicated story like a rollercoaster, depends on what you're looking for. Personally I'm a huge fan of webtoon cause I can identify with the character. Drama is just a good entertainment for me.
I honestly love every part of this drama. As for actor rookies, the development of the characters ( especially starting from episode 15) is showed really great, the plot is in lot of aspects unpredictable and the CGI and costumes are just so beatiful to watch. I think every fan of "Ashes of Love" would love this drama too, the story of the main leads gives same vibes
