One thing I noticed from this article is that 2020 was my best year for dramas. Every single one of them has landed among my all-time favorites in their respective genres.
And oh my, the nostalgia I felt while reading this!
I may sound insane to you people, but no matter what kind of person he is, he's acting skills are too good to…
How can you watch art when the artist used someone's blood to paint it? Talent doesn't absolve someone of their wrongdoings. Art isn't created in a vacuum—it reflects the artist, their values, and their actions. morals vary from person to person, but there are certain lines that shouldn't be debated. people excusing them in the name of "talent" are essentially saying "his skills matter more than his victims" that's disturbing. you can try to seperate art from the artist, but how can you truly enjoy watching someone who apparently is a predator, creep, or worse? will you suppress it? or simply not care? either way, it's unsettling. don't protect someone you like at the cost of basic human decency.

he is-was one of the most fascinating characters in this drama. he has his priorities and is the most rational among all. maybe because he is more cautious and timid for a man, he is disliked by many.

I get where you're coming from. Humans have done terrible things in the name of selfishness, and they will continue to do so. But if humans were truly selfish, only destructive, why do we also have stories of sacrifice, love, and redemption? You're looking at just one perceptive and that's cynical to its core. But more importantly —whh do you, despite your cynicism, still find characters like Jinuk interesting? The world isn't just destruction. If it were, it would've ended long ago, wouldn't it? There's dharma and adharma, and both exist side by side. You need to look in the mirror for reflection and not in people's eyes that have gone through misery. You say you hate humans, including yourself. But tell me— have you never loved, never helped, never been helped? If 'selfishness has sealed our fate', then why do you still engaged in convos like this, seeking a diff answer? Focusing only on the worst aspects of life is like looking into a cracked mirror and thinking the whole world is broken

your point is solid and i mostly agree. but, your idea of a realistic human having equal measure of both positive and negative sides, itself is unrealistic. a human tends to lean more on any one side of the spectrum. he doesn't need to have his legs on both boats but rather a toe on one and a complete leg on another. the problem is you're analysing seonguk as if it's a normal day in a corporate job. they are in midst of a zombie apocalypse-survival situation. and in these situations selflessness can be just as dangerous as selfishness, if not more. seonguk is a perfect example where self-preservation overpowers kindness. he never chose to be that way, he is adapting to a world where trust can be deadly. it doesn't make him unbalanced, just more cautious. whether he is admirable or not is subjective but he is still realistic. in the entire show, he was scared, cautious, had youngjoo as his priorities, closed off, had trust issues, was 'selfish' but if you ask me, he was 'human' more than anthing.

People are never purely black or white; they are never explicitly good or bad. a person can be considered good if he treats his loved ones with love, and the same person can apparently become 'bad' if he becomes indifferent to others.
For people like Seonguk, he knows his priorities and lives by them, and if he dies, it doesn't mean he deserves it, like you said earlier. I agree, people like alex exist, but they are not common, and of course, these types of people are perceived as 'heroes.' But if someone isn't a 'hero,' it doesn't mean he deserves to die. Both of them have different values and principles.we can look up to alex as someone we should strive to be, and we can remain grounded by seeing people like seonguk as a reflection of who we truly are. No one is bad or good; they are what we call human. And of course, that's the reason we love heroes and not realistic characters, in this case too Seonguk is not a 'hero' and he shouldn't be and doesn't need to be. self-centredness and selfishness are human traits, and are needed in survival. Ofc it may vary from person to person.
No hard feelings, we're fine :)
