Haven't watched Wonderland yet, it's on PTW list. I have a hard limit of no more than 50 episodes because I don't have the patience haha. I made exceptions only to 3 dramas (Ashes of Love, Love and Redemption and Eternal Love) because they are the most mentioned dramas appearing in a lot of top 10 Chinese dramas list of all time.
I know there was also Nirvana in Fire and Joy of Life frequently mentioned but they were too heavy/long for my taste

My sweet spot for length is no more than 200 hours of investment per drama, so it could be 20 x 1-hr episodes or 40x 30-min episodes. But even then I struggle to watch sometimes, so I enjoy the shorter formats of other countries with around 8 to 12 episodes. OR alternate between long and short dramas.

Yes, we have to trace where the source of this negative press about KSR is coming from. And as JulySnow2 mentioned, LJH is the main instigator of this. In one of the released recordings, LJH admits that KTY is his friend. KTY was supposed to attend a meeting with KSR's friend to persuade the friend to go over their (KSH) side. And KTY happens to be KSR's manager who works for GM., which we all know KSH owns. The evidence that LJH has so far been releasing to support his claims are conversations between KTY & KSR.
So unless KSR herself released the recordings to LJH,...guess who would be the other person who would release it? It would be highly highly improbably for KSR to leak this, because that's like giving a gun to somebody else to shoot you.

Same thing happened to Sulli, all the negative press for her came from GM as some former employees have already attested, even like JulyShow2 said, the news about Seo Ye Ji bullying came also from GM.

Why you may ask??? There are mainly two types of people who are successful in life. One is to excel with their own merit. And the other is to step on other people to get on top. Guess which one is KSH.

Oh I have long blocked that person that I didn't even see what they are posting. As soon as I smell a Groomer Enabler (even for just a whiff), I hit that Block button pretty fast. I want my screen to be stress free without having idiotic comments ruining my day.

This ban is not applicable in Xanxia genre, but is applicable in non-xanxia dramas. So weird, as if time travel actually exists. It's fiction for a reason but hey I'm not the CCP so I can't proclaim to say I know what they're thinking.

Correction: They claimed KSR was possessed by a spirit, not KSH. My post said that will be their next move. But being possessed is still the theme!!! 😂

I would say trust your gut. The ratings are merely a guide. At least that's for me, I have dropped quite a bunch of high ratings because no matter how I tried, I can't seem to finish them. Like, "When I Fly Towards You," "Reset," "Our Beloved Summer," "Amidst a Snowstorm of Love," and many more above 8.5 and above on MDL. And there are many more others that have high ratings where I won't even watch them knowing they are not my cup of tea, like I'm not really into Slice of Life dramas so I would avoid them altogether even if their rating is 9.0 and above. And I would rather not waste time if I don't have a feel for it.

While some other dramas with lower ratings, I enjoyed more. (but this is more rare). And by lower I mean around 8.0/8.1. Due to the abundance of drama offerings in the last decade, I have a threshold where I don't watch any dramas lower than 8.0. I used to be more indiscriminate pre-2020 but there are so many good dramas out there now that watching even the "bad" ones feels like a waste of time.

For me, one other way, to combat this feeling (if I really want to watch something that I think I will like but I still don't), is to put that drama on hold, watch another drama in the meantime, and come back to it.
I do this a lot of times because I easily get bored and I will alternately watch different dramas (1 from each country, or genre) if possible, that way, I will not be stuck in a rut.

For example, I would watch, 1 Historical Chinese, 1 Korean Contemporary Drama, and 1 Thai BL interchangeably at the same time. And then on my next "session" I will watch 1 Japanese Drama, 1 Taiwanese BL and/or 1 Contemporary Chinese drama. It's fine to binge watch and all, but I sometimes have only patience for bite-sized pieces at a time. And that's perfectly fine.

OMFL!!! I laughed so hard at this it made my day!!!! Thank you Lee Jin Ho!!!
The excuses you make for your Master are just out of this world!!!! What's next,??
You are going to show evidence that KSH is being possessed by a spirit too when he dated KSR as a minor???

https://www.koreaboo.com/news/kim-sae-ron-family-denies-claims-possessed-spirit/

and just because KSR appeared in two works that have spirits/shamanism in them, doesn't make her being possessed. If by your logic, LJH, that works of art have roots in realism, then I think the best example of that is the movie "Real", does that ring a bell?

This is so heartbreaking 😿

What pisses me off are people pulling cards, like the race card, the gender card, the sex card, the age card, the religion card, to defend this mofo.

This happens not with KSH issue but everywhere else, it's like excusing somebody because the person of a certain color, race, gender, age, minority, etc for their actions. NO, NO. NO!! People who do bad things should be called out regardless of their status, who they identify as, whether as Human or a star, or an alien for all I care. Later, defenders will claim the disease card, which is one of those cards that somehow trumps all cards! I would not be surprised later if his fans will claim he is neurodivergent suffering from PTSD from childhood abuse and abandonment, that he acted that way. Boo-fucking-hoo.

Just because we are calling out the action of this particular person, doesn't mean we all hate South Korean men who happen to be successful. If that's the case, then there will be no K-pop idols at all. Why are they still thriving despite this controversy?? Because sensible people know how to separate the chaff from the wheat.

Also, for those also claiming that people who are against KSH, is to be against a certain religion. What the eff are you smoking?? Just because child brides are common in certain countries/religions, doesn't make it right. It's like saying Slavery exists in the 18th or 19th century, so it should be okay to own slaves right now because it happened before. No wonder people with this mentality is stuck in the dark ages. Don't claim injustice only when it's convenient for you.

He was trying to forward an explicit post to his agency to report it but accidentally posted it in his social instead of forwarding. He deleted it like shortly after but screenshots were made and circulated.

So all the Koreans hating on him are racist too??? Make that make sense.

Hahahah

Hence my assumption that MDL is not in their radar because if it was, this page would have been removed/shut down. Spending money here does not do anything for him. He has to save all that money and energy on bribing fake witnesses and fund LJH's videos.

I don' t think GM/KSH even knows about MDL, not sure, but I think most of these accounts are actual defenders and probably alt accounts of the same fans who are willing to do anything for him. Sad, but true. I think GM/KSH would have more clout on the social media platforms or news forums that are big in SK., and would target those.

Depictions of Rebirth/reincarnation is banned in China

Please see point no. 3 here.

Hahhaha instead of helping KSH's case, LJH inadvertently made it worse for him

https://www.koreaboo.com/news/kim-soo-hyun-blasted-following-rumors-kim-sae-ron-dating-3rd-generation-kpop-idol/

People are no longer drinking LJH's KoolAid anymore. So LJH, please continue to sprout nonsense, like how your Oppa is actually an Alien so different laws apply to him. Then we can all laugh at you while KSH suffers.

Ah okay. People just have to like the other actors page to surpass him but what can you do. His supporters are spawning by the day.

No, that's just the banner. They never changed it. I think #1 right now is Zhang Zhe Han

I agree with Civil debate, and telling others to "go die" etc, is not my MO either.

yes, the same people who would be jealous of a dead person, and would mistake someone torturing them as attention, like if KSH spit and kicked them in the face, they think it's an honor.
