Hmm, I'm not Taiwanese, I'm just studying sinology but my teachers and friends from Taiwan said that referring to languages of Taiwan we should use term "Taiwanese" in general and so does wikipedia since there are Taiwanese Mandarin, Taiwanese Hokkien, Taiwanese Hakka and other languages of indigenous people there. I'm not that familiar with them to be able to recognise which exact one is used in this TV series so I said it like that. Do You know which one should I say to make it correct?

Finally something new from Seo In Guk! I've been waiting literally for years!

Exactly. So to explain it in more detail: You can see in the description that the original Network is Tencent Video, in Chinese it's called 腾讯视频. If you go to their Chinese website v.qq.com and type Chinese name of this series you can search a lot of content, short clips, interviews and so on so Chinese are aware of the existence of this drama although the full episodes haven't been officially aired. If they want to watch it they can turn on VPN (most of Chinese youth use it) and watch it on English website of Tencent which is wetv.vip/en

Taiwan has it's own government and same-sex marriage is legal in Taiwan. There is no censorship on any BL there. Whether You think Taiwan is China's territory or independent country is up to own political views, however culture has no limits and since the drama is in Taiwanese, Chinese can watch it easily and so it's trending there as well

Being a school dropout can be their presence. Also, You can see that Jisso debuted in 2009 which means he was still at school at that time.

Thanks

Just think about it, why would they do something if they know their whole life and carreers can be damaged by it or they can be dropouts? If someone is a bully he/she does to gain something eg. power not to be an outcast.

If we neglect it like You do it certainly cannot be stopped but if we show that it's wrong and not worth it in the end people will naturally stop it. All people are selfish at the end of the day and if they know they will lose from doing it rather than gain something they will just stop doing it.

Well, it wasn't part of my life. Not in every country/culture it is socially acceptable which proves that it can be stopped.

Also, it's about showing victims that their voice is important and they don't have to be afraid of speaking up for themselves.

Why does it sound as if you want bullying to continue to happen? I think You need to understand that immature behaviour and bullying are two different things. Immaturity cannot be stopped, but bullying yes it can.

As a saying goes: circumstances alter cases . I think what they are looking for is justice.

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.

It's not half known information. He openly, publicly admitted to his wrongdoings

It would be great! :)

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! :)

No it's not. But there is a gay couple in this series.

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

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
