There's always one of you, haha. The United States isn't the only country with bad things. In fact, if you could…
You’re framing my position as if criticism from within a privileged society is inherently performative or hypocritical. That assumption doesn’t hold.
First, benefiting from a system does not morally disqualify someone from criticizing it. In fact, the opposite is often true. If you enjoy freedom of speech, political participation, and security like in the United States then you have more responsibility to scrutinize and improve that system, not less. Moral responsibility scales with power and agency.
Second, invoking North Korea as a benchmark every time criticism arises is a logical distraction. “At least we’re not a dictatorship” is not a defense of a policy or a system; it’s a comparative deflection. The existence of worse regimes does not invalidate critique. If it did, no society except the absolute worst could ever be criticized.
Third, you argue that repression must be addressed before discussing who “writes history.” But those aren’t mutually exclusive issues. Authoritarian regimes can survive without broad consent because they monopolize force and information. That doesn’t contradict my broader point: dominant powers shape narratives about themselves and others. Acknowledging narrative power isn’t the same as denying repression.
Finally, criticizing one’s own country is not self-pity. It’s a sign of political maturity. Blind praise is propaganda; reflexive condemnation is cynicism; critical engagement is citizenship. The ability to criticize a country without fear of imprisonment is precisely what differentiates liberal systems from dictatorships and exercising that freedom should not be confused with moral vanity.
You seem to interpret critique as ingratitude. I see it as responsibility. Just writing an essay back since you had to write one first. A paragraph should have been suffice enough for your answer.

North Korea should not be a 'go-to' answer for everything when it comes to comparing nations in the International Arena. Did you live there? Are you from North Korea? If every single North Korean hated their country or were actually living in horrible conditions then the country would cease to exist. History is always written from the 'Winners' point of view. Hence, the misconception we have where America is seen as an archetype for other nations. Of course there are countries far worse but the point that I have trying to convey is that America should not be seen as a country of rainbow and sunshine.

Perhaps you do not understand that in the International Arena the United States is the Supreme Nation. For example, South Korea is literally South Korea because of America. In terms of the political environment, as an American I can tell you we are a Hot mess. We claim to be a country built on Democracy alone; yet what we are still seeing very much till today is that wealth comes before all.
many questions if someone can explain to me like I’m 5…- why did yeom hwa hate ML more than anything? like…
1) She was hired by his family to ward of "misfortune" and he took the entire family's misfortune. Hence, the entire family hated him for the bad luck except his grandmother. She was the one who caused him to get the bad fortune. She was getting paid by the family to do everything. 2) She doesn't have any connection except her being hired by the family. His father is very well off. 3) The Kid Soldier (Bong-Su) became a ghost because he was a kid and he was regretting not being able to give the ring to his mom. He was a kid who just wanted to see his mom for the last time. He had to take 100 souls to became a evil deity. So whoever entered the house on the hill they most likely died cause he took their souls. 4) Her plan was for him to takeover her body and that way she can get her baby back. Since evil deities have their own special evil power. 5) There was nothing for her to switch for hence, why the ghost had more power and took over her entire soul.
Where do you see these magical videos of beheadings ... the only videos I have seen are the Izreali murderers…
I have a Master's Degree in International Relations. You can't explain everything in Black and white. However, what one can do is look how the modern day era of chaos started which is the colonization by "white" people specifically the British Empire.
What on earth are they even talking about in the synopsis.... no thanks
They basically switch bodies during day and night time. During the day time the Young Lady goes into the Old lady's body and at night they switch back to their normal bodies.
I want to watch this, but only if there's romance, even if there's only a small amount. Are the leads a couple?…
No, the feelings are there but they don't start anything. The viewers get a hint when the ML questions the other cop member about why he was hugging the FL.
