I exaggerated. He did get paid some, but allegations against his former agency suggest he didn't get paid as much as comparable actors with other representation at other agencies. In their defense, Gold Medalist has claimed that they provided superior services (eg. name-brand advertising contracts) & treatment for its clients, justifying its higher fees and higher percentage cuts of artists' earnings. Regardless, I still expect he will be earning more from his new agency, moving forward.
It’s not at all odd but consistent. Every Netflix original is released all a once. Partnerships & licensed series from broadcasters are released after each episode airs domestically.
I'm poking fun at Netflix whose founder and employees have long been accused of promoting regressive values, producing dark & ominous entertainment, and generally lowering the vibrations of those who watch much (not all) of its programming, making their souls vulnerable & ripe for harvest by the lord of the dark, hoary netherworld.
I want to extend a hearty "Thank You" to all of the beta-testers who bravely weathered Netflix' demonic propaganda and came back to warn any live-bodied soul-retaining fans of K-Dramas such as myself that this production is not so much entertainment but a recruitment video for those who wish to have a personal relationship with MY DEMON in their next lifetimes, in hell.
The synopsis sounds so absurd… and I love it! I am very much looking forward to watching this one. I haven't seen Kim Young Kwang since 'Hello? Me!' (which is one of my guilty pleasure frequent rewatch dramas.)
In his next drama, 'I Believe You', Lee Chae Min plays "an iljin character… who has no ability to empathize with sadness and pain, and he harasses … a friend of the same age as him."
I keep replaying the scene in my head where the inventor guy play as a hero 🦸 & bombed them bodyguards.…
I would love an entire series about this guy — along with his great uncle, the actual historical water clock guy. (Aside, ISTR the water clock guy appearing in another K-Drama, but I forget which? 🤔) I expect there should be interest to watch a proper Joseon Steampunk!
