In China, you sometimes see reports of a celebrity getting involved in something like a minor hit-and-run, and the issue appears to be wrapped up quickly, whether that’s truly “efficient policing” or simply influence doing its job, who really knows. But either way, it gets settled. That contrast is exactly why KSR’s case feels so chilling: her situation wasn’t treated like a case to be investigated and resolved, but like a spectacle of punishment, so extreme it crossed into humiliation and psychological torture.
That’s why I don’t romanticize any political system. Democracy, authoritarianism, “rule of law,” “stability”, these are labels. In practice, any system becomes dangerous the moment accountability turns selective, when power decides whose mistakes can be forgiven, whose can be buried, and whose suffering can be turned into a lesson for everyone else.
they should learn from The Boyfriend. Seriously why dating shows has to be a done deal and must forced them to feel for each other. Like seriously it kills the essence of all feelings and true feelings above all.
I know both countries are different, thinking are different' but aren't feelings the same everywhere? aren't they depend upon the person carrying them and not the production...that is why we fall for different people of different trades. The concept of HM is that they forced you into this sizzling stuff that actually the opposite of it.
It is just a mild version of slut-house SI series, where just show off of bodies, their background, and the pretense of having everything and all but in reality an empty shell.
Love and feelings can't be measured by dicks, boobs, abs, face lifts, careers.
this is such an authentic way of dating show, no drama, no edits and no fucking scripted feeling, you come and go with your true feelings...i can't help but compare the other which is just soap opera feels like.
Same old “human vs. science” debate, when in reality, neither can exist without the other. Science isn’t a rival civilization running parallel to us; it’s a human extension: a disciplined way of turning curiosity into knowledge, and knowledge into capability.
One thing is certain: humans come first. Whatever we are, good, bad, noble, cruel, we are the source of science. Science has no goals, no conscience, no meaning of its own. It can describe the world with stunning precision, but it cannot tell us what the world should become. Values do that. Responsibility does that. And those are human burdens.
That’s why it’s misleading to speak of science (or AI) as “bigger” than humanity. Science is powerful, but it’s instrument power, like fire, electricity, or a blade. Its impact is determined by the hands that wield it and the reasons they choose to wield it. Artificial intelligence is the same, only scaled: it learns from human traces, optimizes human-defined objectives, and reflects human priorities, our brilliance and our bias, our compassion and our blind spots. It doesn’t transcend humanity; it amplifies it.
So the real question isn’t whether science or AI will surpass humans. The real question is whether human judgment will keep pace with human power. Because progress without ethics is just acceleration, and intelligence without wisdom is simply efficiency in the wrong direction.
I think this show feels far more realistic, and honestly better, than HM (especially the current season). HM tries to cram an entire K-drama arc into seven days, and the editing pushes everything into “cheap drama” territory. I don’t mean that as an insult to series itself; it’s just that in such a short time frame, there’s barely any room for real feelings to develop. Whether it’s actually scripted or not, it comes across as scripted because the pacing and production are doing too much.
This one gives them two months, and that changes everything. Even when the episodes are quiet or a bit mundane, they don’t force it into a soap opera through editing. Everyone moves at their own pace, and it even looks like some participants aren’t filmed every single day, which is a huge plus. That slower, more natural rhythm is exactly what I prefer over constant dramatic music cues and cliffhanger, style editing every few minutes just to make you “guess what happens next,” the way HM often does.
hardest part for me to see FL embracing moments, like she literally can't control how she felt about him and so many unintentional as well intentional embracing moments...
the secret didn't deserve 9 episodes, max 5-6 episodes then they should have shown progress in their relationship while sorting the situation with children and other...but fucking shit.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANT THIS SERIES TO HAVE FL NOT GIVE 0% CHANCE TO ML, FUCK THIS SHIT, JSUT KEEP THIS STORY AND FOR ONCE, FOR ONCE DO NOT MAKE LEADS A COUPLE...SOME MISTAKES ARE UNFORGIVABLE.
Sometimes I wish they’d taken the storyline they teased in Peaceful Property and developed it into a separate series. It had the ingredients for something genuinely special, emotionally grounded, distinct in tone, and the kind of concept that could have created real buzz and sustained trending if it had been handled with care.
As it is, this show is being sold as a mystery, but it doesn’t feel like one. A good mystery isn’t just “things happen” and then you connect dots later. It needs rabbit holes, well-placed clues, and cliffhangers that feel earned, but, more importantly, it needs disciplined storytelling. Scenes should build on each other with intention, and the overall narrative should stay coherent even while it’s withholding answers. The tension should escalate episode by episode, and ideally scene by scene.
With this one, I’m not fully convinced it’s doing that. Even if there are hints of mystery elements, the execution feels average, more like loosely assembled moments than a tightly constructed plot. The main thing carrying it is the cast chemistry, and that’s not nothing, especially given their status and familiarity as an earlier-generation BL pairing. But strong chemistry can’t substitute for a properly written mystery. Without a coherent, gripping structure, it ends up as a watchable but ultimately unremarkable series.
