I still don't understand the Joseon Exorcist one, it didn't feel like a big thing at all.

I recently watched America: The Motion Picture, and there was all sort of historical distortion and what not, but nobody cared.

JTBC should have learned that Knetz are crazy sensitive and given Jisoo and Haein a better drama to debut with.

If it does get cancelled, which I highly doubt, the blame falls solely on JTBC.

He clearly is.

It became the most clear when he ask her for the map of the building. And Young Ro, suspiciously ask why, and he says so that he would know how to escape.

He also, almost say's he needs a newspaper and radio to check on his comrades, but changes his words to friends instead.

I think Sun Ho knows Young Ro is smitten with him, and he is using it to his advantage.

Disney+ due to lagging subscriptions, have finally conceded that Asia is a vital piece of the expansion puzzle. Starting the next few years, they are planning on rolling out in more countries in Asia, and concentrating a sizable chunk of funds into developing their own original content, and licensing popular shows.

I hope, for their sake, they have ZERO meddling in this, because the Disney brand has been known for dialing up the political correctness all the way up. Still remember the travesty that is Mulan?

It was love at first sight, and meant to be magical. And it was more her than him. To Sun ho, he was just amused by young ro, not head over heels.

You see a huge difference in maturity between Young Ro and Sun Ho, which makes sense given their age gap, and the fact he is a spy.

I imagine this is the chemistry we would see if James Bond and Hermione ever got together :)

To be fair, Sun ho is just using young ro, and young ro is incredibly smitten at the moment.

So it's a one sided thing, so possibly intentional. If they eventually do become a couple and we see the same lukewarm chemistry, then yes you would be correct.

Oh lol, yeah I will wait for subs :)

I blame JTBC not securing a contract with Netflix. Disney+ was a poor choice, since Disney+ isn't even in a lot of countries.

It's funny when you block people, because you see other posters have a conversation to themselves lol!

Merry Christmas to everyone in Asia!

I don't think all 3 are coming together, staggered by 1 day I think.

it's full of malware, and the video isn't working.

There goes my risky click of the day...

ahh, so he and his comrades are all north korean defectors then.

I find this the wrong way to go. Have you read much about north korean defectors? In South Korea, many people are very mistrustful of them, and they are treated like second class citizens. There are even people who feel these north korean defectors are actually spies.

In fact there have been a few movies of NK defectors being actual double agents.

I feel sad that north and south are only separated by 67 years since korean war, but the two countries are so vastly different, and a truce seems impossible at this moment.

Korean netizens love their truck protest, this isn't the first time they are doing this, and it won't be the last.

Truck protesting is a thing in Korea.

why don't you just block them?

I've already blocked 10 people in this comment section, and I am happier for it.

I can't speak for the MDL rating, but so far, the first episodes felt a bit weak for me.

8.2/10

Still waiting for the next 3 episodes.

Who in particular? I have so many people blocked, I am seeing people talking to themselves.

so you watched it without subs? You are korean?

I'm not familiar with other idols, but didn't most of them start out as supporting cast?

fake north korean spy would mean he is south korean. He has been shown to truly be north korean.

If the showrunners truly had ZERO idea that their drama could possibly be controversial. Then I'm sorry, that just makes them very obtuse people.

It is possible that they knew it would be controversial, but didn't expect the severity of the backlash, it was a miscalculation on JTBC's part. Which is weird, since JE just got cancelled for a similar reason. What is their obsession with using real historical characters for their dramas?

I hope that moving forward they stop using historical figures, they've already been burned twice.

I agree, whether it's international fans, koreans or whoever starting these rumours, twitter, ig, reddit post, it doesn't matter, they have an intention. Whether it's propoganda, being an anti-jisoo, or whatever, I agree with you they have an ulterior motive. Just like the writers may have an ulterior motive themselves. What it is? I don't know.

I'm just miffed the show is clouded in all this controversy, it makes it hard to separate what is happening from the show. I am trying my best to be an objective viewer of the acting, plot, and direction of the show, but the underlying historical/political context has made it harder. But I will try my best, as this show deserves a fair shake.
