I really feel that it's important to express one's sentiments and opinions without being told that they are "pointless." Just because those thoughts are not in the forum does not mean that they don't exist. I have the right to say what I wish and express what I want. That's all I'll say on the matter because you've made me rather angry with this constant "You shouldn't say that because people on MDL don't say that" spiel.

Shz doesn't mean here (but maybe in the commenst section in the drama page, I don't know about that). Someone in soompi forums mentioned how peaceful is the air in here. We're such a cool community even if we're not that many *proud*

I almost came out of lurker mode in soompi because of the comments. I make it a point to visit there because fans R94 regularly post filming updates and text synopses for upcoming episodes and the addict that I am can't help devour those type of spoilers. But before I even got to one-fourth of the whole thing just to get my spoilers, I gave up reading through the thread because I had to go through a lot of spazz, debates and comments--which was fine because it was healthy for a certain time--until the debates became personal and the comments got hurtful.

It's true MDL is a growing site that's steadily building presence online however being on here is like a sanctuary for me. Yanki was just pointing out observation and I think her comment was not out of place because we read comments like that on viki, DF, and other sites like soompi. Some thoughts actually coincide here and on soompi and even dramabeans (particularly on character development) and I think it's okay as long as we stay cool about it. ;) Hell yeah, so proud of us!

Add: The shipping wars have also reached the comments section of dramabeans and it was so enormous that javabeans addressed the issue in Ep 15 recap. And she was like ' hey you guuuuuuuuuuys! seriously! don't fight!' XD

I was glad that javabeans tried to squash that quickly because other than MDL, I find dramabeans to be for the most part, civil. I love the recaps, but sometimes I have to avoid that comments section because I don't want to get involved with the fanwars.

As to why I posted my comment: I posted the comment because there were an overwhelming amount of viki comments which stated things like what I posted above, and I felt it pertinent to the conversation we were having about why the fanwar has become irritating, both on the front of the drama and the front of how we as drama watchers respond to one another. It's been said more than once around this drama's fandom that the "who's the hubby" mystery has brought out the worst of our human personalities at times. I agree with that; I've had to check myself a couple of times from saying things that could be personal.

I will admit, though, that part of that comment was personal: not to the people on here, but as a venting of frustration to what it seems are those who believe that one's ambition is tied inherently to one's future job title. I apologize if anyone felt offended by that because it was not my intention. I'm also very proud that our community tries its hardest to stay out of it. Personally, this has been one of my favorite forum threads because of how much discussion we have. :)

I also distanced myself from soompi forums for a while; they are scary fangirls there LOL I like discusting characters developments, events, theories and so on but I can never go on a war for a fictional character and a fictional story. Real people who undergo serious fights and curse each other over fictional characters are dumb. That's all what I have to say.

I think that fanwars are really stupid. And I'm saying this as a die-hard cassiopeia that had to take a LOT of crap regarding DBSK. But in dramas, is something that I really don't understand... The fanwars and specially, the insulting people just because they don't ship your couple or whatever. That's why I love MDL, here people "discuss" things, we don't "fight" and honestly, where the hell does it take you starting insulting someone over a freakin' drama??? I just feel like saying, with my young 23 years, "Please, grow up and come back when you have some brain cells". We are already a minority in western-asian-drama-freaks, do we really need wars? So pointless!!! And trying to make this a little bit more on-topic...damn, i really wanna see the cameos...i've been drooling for some In Guk and Hoya fangirling XD

An interesting analysis on who the husband is most likely:

http://belectricground.com/2013/12/11/my-analysis-of-who-is-na-jeongs-husband/comment-page-1/#comment-261939


I'm hoping the writers end the husband trolling, and work on the supporting characters.

okay so, in episode 16 ***Bing Geu Re admits to himself he is gay after the female doctor asks him out and all he want to do is call Trash. He even almost said "I just wanted to hear your voice." And in the end of the episode Trash takes instant notice of the gay boy from Reply 1997, thinking how good looking he is....I really think Trash and BingGeuRe end up as a couple. I just can't see Trash as at all in love with Na Jung.

If she ends up with Trash I will be totally shocked.

I also follow blue's blog for spoilers and she already had a gut feel of who the husband was early in the series. I had that gut feel too at episode 6. I wish that too, at least Haitai, YJ/SCP and Binggrae are taking turns at the spotlight, although the last episode didn't give us CB (I am thinking he probably won't make it to Dec 31, 1999 if his career progresses).

I think I won't be shocked anymore. Every passing episode adds progress to their relationship and there isn't any much challenge to prove otherwise. Binggrae will have to end up with Joon Hee. I want to see him in that red car! <3

SCP is a martyr. YJ doesn't really deserve him. u_u

I think it's probablyyyyy pretty obvious by now who the husband is...but the thing that they just fast-forward like, what? two years? a year and a half?? And we don't get to see how na-jung and trash's relationship developed in all that time?? We just blindly fast-forward to 1997?? I dunno..I confess I feel a little confused! But seeing 1997's cast again, DAMN, I missed them!!! ShiWon is still priceless and her and yoonjae pickering..I just laughed my ass off! But seeing Trash fighting and yelling "ship-pal" at a eighteen year old was priiiiiiiiiceless!!! ahahahah I laughed sooo hard!! And his realization that his arm isn't moving??? Oh god, I must've replayed the scene like...10 times xDDDD

So... I just watched episode 17. And I'm really confused.
So Binggrae actually isn't gay? Then what was his obvious love line with Oppa all about? Are the writers telling us that the whole time he only thought he was gay but really wasn't? Or is he supposed to be bi? It just seems like a weird twist somehow. Like they suddenly decided they didn't want him to be gay anymore. It really makes me wonder about the writers intentions. The whole time I thought that his character was gathering his courage to accept that he's gay and now he's... not. *
What do you guys think?

Really? I only watched until episode 16 and I want that Hoya and Binggrae end up together. It would be so cute.

Yeah that's what I wanted, too. But * in 2013 Binggrae is married. To a woman.

Ahh I just finished ep 16 and I can tell you that happy tears came in the end. I don't think I realised until now how much I missed the cast from Reply 1997, I almost screamed of joy haha!

Married to a woman? Oh my story of relating characters of both seasons was much better. I also missed them too. If I had time I would watch Reply 1997 right now
