Potato the cutie

I see, that's probably a fault on my side then, I read about it somewhere and it somehow got lost in translation. If that's the case then it's quite sad seeing the company just stand on the sidelines being unable to do anything about the whole situation, and knowing that Build and JJ are shareholders in it makes it a lot more complicated then, I can see why these two can't really say anything about it, same goes for the actors and BOC, I just hope that they're safe and that these two [Yok and Poi] are held accountable for their actions. Thank you for correcting me btw, much appreciated 💙

I really don't see the reason to bash you guys for liking what you like, it's your choices and your opinions, what right do I have to judge them and you for them? Honestly what I'm doing is just the bare minimum, it's heartbreaking having to see such simple act being treated like that when it's just the minimum of human decency, if you have anything to add to what everyone else said please feel free to do so, any criticism is welcomed, we can't learn to do better without the help and different points of view from others.

Not at all, I'm really glad people were willing to come forward and talk about their perspectives and reasonings, everyone has the right to enjoy whatever they want despite what everyone else says, I really love being exposed to people's different analyses and and likes and dislikes when making their judgments, I find it really fascinating how we can be so similar yet so different at the same time. I'm also really saddened by the fact that these people have nothing better to do other than go around attacking others for having preferences that don't necessarily agree with theirs, I hope you guys don't have to encounter such upsetting situations.

Oh no, thank you for willing to engage with me in this little debate and I really appreciate your opinions 💙

I apologize for the off wording, I'll edit in a moment but really I don't mind their expectations because as I said once before, we're all entitled to our opinions and we all look for different things when watching/reading something, I'm glad there are many people who are willing to point out the faults in my comment/perspective and I really appreciate it.

I see, I can understand your perspective a little better now and as I said before, my reaction is probably more influenced by the cultural differences, we all make our judgements off of different bases influenced by a multitude of factors so I guess it's a matter of opinions here, any criticism is welcome especially if it means correcting something I unknowingly did so I really appreciate your take on it.

No need to apologize, I'm partially at fault here, I should have worded it out better, and I really appreciate other people's perspectives and their criticism, I'm more than happy to be corrected when I'm wrong so please do if you see something not really right in my comment. I also agree with you on respecting each other's opinions, we all perceive things differently and we're all different one way or another.

I guess my wording of it comes off as trying to guilt others into thinking they're wrong for expecting it but really it's not, I just don't appreciate the demand for a sex scene when he is still so young both age and career wise, and as I said before, I am aware that it's his guardian's and his decision that should be taken into account, but people shouldn't push for it knowing how the industry works and how subjecting someone of his age to it could affect him.

I'm not judging anyone here, as I said before, I just hope people stop demanding that he be put in such situations, you're right, it is his parents/his decision that matters in the end, but just entertaining the idea of a teenager acting out a sex scene is just not very right for multiple reasons. I guess my stance is somewhat influenced by the difference in culture but I just can't find it in me to root for it.

Of course it's ultimately his decision to make, doesn't make it any better tho. I am taking into consideration the culture and their background, I do realize we have to take into consideration their age of consent and that we as viewers have no right to question him or his decision, yes the actor and his character are two separate beings, what I'm trying to say is both situations aren't really right, not because barcode isn't mature enough or he can't decide what's best for him, and certainly not because his age plays into anything related to his role, but because Barcode shouldn't be put through such scenes at such a young age and at the beginning of his career nonetheless, again, I'm not talking about consent here, I'm talking about a decision that shouldn't have been considered and I'm very glad they didn't go through with anything similar or related to it in the series.

I am aware of that, but their recent interactions and the way Mile behaves around them is just off, and this is coming from someone who was subjected to sexual harassment multiple times so this situation is a bit personal if I'm being honest

I understand where you're coming from, I also do realize teenagers are a lot more sexually curious at that age, I'm more concerned with the setting and the fact that his LI is an adult in both situations, frankly I wouldn't have cared if Kim and Chay were close in age, but their setting is just not right, especially in the series considering Jeff is almost 10 years his senior

As I stated before, I haven't seen much response to it, the reaction recently is there sure, but before? Almost non existent. I have nothing against BOC but why are these two still around is what I'd like to know? It just baffles me tbh.

I really hope so, because so far i haven't seen anyone actually mentioning it, either I'm on the much blinded side of the internet or the people talking about it are hidden from my search engines and accounts, either way, more people should speak up.

Ok I'm sorry, but if I don't get this off of my chest I might literally combust. Why in the seven hells is no one talking about the shit going on with the absolutely disgusting human beings called Yok and Poi aka the writers of KP?? If the involvement of these two is an absolute must for the second season then I don't want it, sign me the f out because no, I will not tolerate these two preying upon the cast any further, Idc what anyone says about them, because nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing they could say can in any way make their actions acceptable or redeemable, I'm even more disappointed in BOC for letting these leeches lurk around the actors, they sold their rights to the series to you, why are they still around? I get that they're the writers and the ones who were involved in a lot of the work and I also do realize the company can't really do much since (from what I had heard) the law is very keen on keeping the writers and their rights protected, but to keep them around while being fully aware of the boundaries they're crossing is just unacceptable and I refuse to support such thing knowing what's on stake here. I'm sorry for anyone who had to sit through my long rant but I just couldn't watch this happening and turn a blind eye to it, and for those of you who are unaware of what's going on, I suggest you check out the video I'll be linking below because it goes a little more into details about the whole situation, but basically the writers have been sexually harassing the cast (Mile, Apo, Bible, Build and Barcode) and for any viewers complaining about Kim and Chay not having any sex scenes (yes I saw a bunch of people complaining about it on multiple places), I'd like to remind you that Barcode was only 17/18 when they were filming the series and is still in high school, same goes for his character Chay which the authors completely disregarded his age when implying the fact that Kim and Chay slept together in the book, so I really hope you guys don't try to push for one.

Here's the link to the video, it's relatively new but the issue isn't:

Edit: I edited the last part because I can see now how it might be misinterpreted as me being judgemental towards those who were expecting a sex scene between Kim and Chay, I apologize for that, it wasn't my intention, I just don't want these guys to fall victims to the pressure and bad side of the internet so again, I'm really sorry for that and thank you to the people who pointed it out.

From my understanding of the situation and from what I had read about gay marriage in SK, it hasn't been legalized so technically they can't be "civilian" married in Korea, if they were to be married somewhere else like Taiwan for example, SK would acknowledge their documents but it won't be registered into their system, again I'm not too sure about this since all my knowledge about this topic comes from the internet and no official source, but from what I could grasp from their conversation, around a month ago, the place they went started accepting applications for a marriage certificate from same-sex couples, I should also note that they were using a registration sheet with titles listed as wife-husband, so for Bosung (the tall guy with gray-ish hair) he was listed down as husband, for Minjun however (the shorter one with black hair) he was listed down as wife.

You're most welcome, glad I could be of some help lol. 💙

So far I've heard it's only on GagaOOLala and I think Bilibili released an episode from it, don't take my word for it tho, I just remember seeing it on there so you can check it out. The video on Bosung and Minjun's channel (I'm assuming the video you saw was on there) includes only their segment from the first episode and they had to mute the bgm for copyright. The episodes are around 50 minutes long each if you're wondering.
Edit: lol so I went to check and apparently a random person uploaded the first episode on Bilibili, I'm pretty sure it's not legally up there. Btw, have you tried using VPN or something?

I see where you're coming from and I agree with what you said. They gave us the false impression of this series being a romantic fiction/melodrama, yet we barely touched on these genres. I would say watching it as it airs gives you enough time to analyze each episode more thoroughly and lets all your emotions regarding it marinate long enough before you pinpoint what you just experienced and how it effects the plot as opposed to binge watching the whole thing, so it definitely plays a role in influencing our judgement.

You make a really good point. Many characters suffered from bad writing in this script and the teaser promoted this as a romance/drama, they never mentioned anything about the whole action/spy aspects of it yet somehow we're forced to accept this and move on? No dear writer and director, that's not how it works.
Execution was sub par, but the reason why I say that a single setting will make a story really draggy is because a) you lose track of time, like in SD's case where this whole hostage situation seemed to go on forever when in reality it hasn't been 2 full weeks yet and b) having one setting will definitely hinder significant character growth imo because no one can change from innocent and carefree to wise or serious or developed in such a short space. True if the drama was more thought through they could've made this one setting situation work, but showing any character development would've been an issue either way because the change in someone's nature needs a trigger, it doesn't happen on x day out of nowhere, so this setting would've been the perfect trigger or starting point for the characters to show growth and development moving forward and onto a different situation or arc, but we were robbed of that too so, sucks for us I guess.
