The scene where the other taxi drivers came to help them when they were escaping, brought me to tears.

I didn't cry in other parts in the movie, but I broke down at that part.

Japanese bls are another breed. They are on a league of their own.

He reminds me of Wang Zihao

He was born in December. So during filming he was not yet 20 (I wrote his age as 18 before) I'm not good at math.
He was 19 when filming began.

They have an almost 10 year age gap, but people conveniently ignore it.

Unsatisfactory and not as interesting as the first part. I think I expected more. I don't know what the more is, but the more was not present in the second half.

The acting was phenomenal, nonetheless.

I'm talking about the actors.

What they went Through, while filming was happening.

Harrasment and assault by the staff of their former company. In particular thier former CEO.

And jaechan and seoham's age gap is even worse, because jaechan was still 19 while they were filming, and Seoham was 27.

So, if any person has issues with the age gap here, and they fawn over the semantic error coupling, they are extreme hypocrites

I live in an African country. I am African.

That scene was blatantly racist.

I have never stepped foot in the US, so I don't know why you're bringing up an unrelated country.

You said I have so much criticism, but it's just ONE criticism.

I voiced my discomfort with ONE thing, nothing more.

You don't get to choose how I react to racism. The cast and crew of Kokdu didn't show me or my people respect with that racist line, so I don't even owe them respect either in the first place. I don't have to be the bigger person.

I didn't even say anything incorrect. People aren't watching that series all that much in Korea. Its current ratings exist publicly. It is hard carried by its international fans.

So, which attitude am I giving, that deflects so much from the valid issue I'm pointing out, which is a line existing that mention "cheetahs and drinking water with hippos"?

Does my "attitude " stand out so much that it overshadows the racism the show exhibited? You choosing to focus on my attitude, more than the racism, baffles me.

Familiar how? If you scroll down the comments, you'll see positive comments I made about the drama. I have been following up on it and sending words of support to the cast and crew on other social media platforms too, as encouragement, since what happened during filming.

But the one time I voice out my opinion as an offended African, my account seems familiar to as a hate account? Make it make sense. I have spread nothing but love to this kdrama so far, but if something is wrong, I'll point it out. Not every comment of criticism is hate.

I have never in my life as a African seen a cheetah or hippo before . The generalization of Africa as poverty stricken gets exhausting to see, especially as an African living in Africa.

So many other continents and countries have their urban and rural areas, but depiction of my continent and the countries within it in media is really backwards, ignorant and borderline racist.

Some of the oldest institutions of learning in the world have been discovered in African countries.

I finished my schooling from daycare to uni in an African country, so the ignorance from the cast and crew of Kokdu, is disappointing to see. I have been watching it till now, but I'll drop it, just as I dropped "Sh**ting Stars" last year.

My continent doesn't exist for their ridicule.

Is it difficult for kdramas to not mention Africa in their scripts? Like leave us alone. If mentioning us is only relevant in racist contexts, we don't want it.

Is their racism forcing itself to jump out that much?

Was that racist comment really necessary to the plot? No one in Korea is watching this confusing show, and the few international people that are giving your show a chance, you just had to be racist towards them.

The plot is not plotting.

I thought he was japanese. He's so beautiful.

He grew up in Germany, not in the US. He speaks German fluently too.

Odd

그래 그래 그래 그래

After I watched "would you like a cup of coffee" two years ago, I wanted so much for a series to be released that perfectly encapsulates the vibes I got from that beautiful short series.

This series is just that. It's a bit more of an emotional rollercoaster than wylacoc, but it was exactly what I was looking for. The characters of this show are flawed in their own beautiful way, but it just shows how our flaws and how we perceive others' flaws are vain at the end of the day. It's a series that makes you appreciate things/people around you, even the littlest of things. It's a series that makes you feel like loving and being loved. It's a beautiful series.

If this military broker scandal turns out to be true, his career would basically be over. Him dropping out of d.p season 2 is a huge opportunity that he lost.

I hope it's not true. He has a really promise acting career ahead of him.

The one time when TikTok edits did not lead to me being disappointed.

I genuinely enjoyed this series.

Emotional punishment, but in a beautiful way.
