I've honestly started to hate the term "romanticise" because people have begun to use it as synonymous for "this…
This comment section is so damn annoying. They're so blinded by hate that they don't even considering understanding the pov we present. I saw many people giving an unbiased opinion on why this drama is not problematic as the petitioners claim and haters are only capable of bashing them for being cruel and unsympathetic towards the victims.

we don't know what they have in store. they could've easily played it safe but maybe they chose this route because it was necessary for the storyline. there's so much scope for plot twists and revelations in the coming eps.

But nowhere in the drama they've glorified NSA or Sohoo. Sohoo is shown as a mysterious character with a dark secrets and not as an innocent person. NSA is so far shown as a shady hidden organization. Where is the romanticization here?
Half of the haters here keep copy pasting some comment they found on Twitter and the rest write essays with ROMANTICIZATION as keyword. I beg you to look at the broader picture and critique in an unbiased way. I understand some are genuinely offended by some parts of the drama, but I really believe that the majority of them who are bashing the show are not actually empathizing with the former faction but just exploiting this situation to spew hatred.
The petition is not becoz of the cast. Its becoz of the plot. The horrific past of South Koreans which they don't…
Nobody is disrespecting their sacrifices. It's just a love story set in the backdrop of the democratic uprising and its dangerous as the couple belong to two rival nations. Can't you look at it like that

Even if he's a spy we don't know his intentions. Also there has been no relation between the protests and him yet. So it could be just a story of a NK spy and SK student falling in love but it just happened to be during the period of the democratic uprising when the security was on high alert and he was on radar. Whats wrong with that
being fictional doesn't mean you can romanticize NSA and the dictatorship at that time, this can hurt the feelings…
Yeah right! And ig most of the woke patriots wouldn't have even known about the history in detail until they 'educated' themselves to spew hate on this drama!
But instead why does director have to go through all this trouble like can't he make Jung hae in South Korean…
The script was cleared by the authorities right and they would know better which is controversial and which is not. Also the writer has the freedom to make the story as he/she likes. We don't know what they're going to do in the coming episodes. We have 14 more left, this is just TOO EARLY to criticize any drama. There could be plot twists and he may have hidden secrets.
Even if we don't know his motive it doesn't change the fact he is a North Korean solider [In ep 2 he was literally…
See, as per what I've read most people are mad that this drama shows that NSA is after "actual" NK spies. They feel hurt because historically NSA wrongly accused student protestors as NK spies to suppress their movement. And this show supports NSA's claims and is disrespectful towards the activists. But all I am saying is that even though the students were not spies, there would've been real NK spies prevalent in the country and they may or may not be related to the democracy movement and he could've been just one among them. Saying that an organisation is bad doesn't mean that they NEVER do any right thing and doing that right thing doesn't justify any of their other wrong actions. So yeah, NSA is the bad guy here but what if they're after NK spies like Sohoo because they got some information about them, then they're just doing their job right unlike the students activists' case.
