I've loved him since Just Between Lovers, my favorite drama. I am so excited he is coming back and will at least attempt any drama he is in. Hope it's a good one :)

I am currently studying psychology and have worked with kids and teens with behavioral issues. In my state, it's called a behavioral interventionist. "Working 1:1 with students in the school and community correcting and shaping their behaviors to promote independence and resiliency." And it's no surprise that a lot of these kids did not have the best upbringing to put it mildly. All these kids had varying levels of trauma and trauma was always the cause of their behaviors. So it was important to always be empathetic of that fact and view their behaviors through that lens. However, if any of these kids did the stuff this guy did they were sent to Juvenile detention facilities, regardless of their situation, regardless of age, period. And if they were 14 or older they were also registered as a sex offender. Because what this guy did is sexually abuse people and that is a whole different level that people do not "grow out of" and he was not just a "delinquent." Most kids will act out by harming themselves, picking fights, and turn to drugs and alcohol. These actions stem from feeling helpless and alone. They're angry and sad and just need help. It's really not the same with people who sexually abuse people. They should absolutely NEVER be in any sort of powerful position (like being a celebrity). His career may be ruined, but honestly that is the small price he has to pay for the damage he inflicted on others. It's okay to be sympathetic towards him (I felt bad for the kids I had to report to the authorities even though I agreed with sending them away) but it is important to understand that the abuser is not the victim here. I hope that he spends his life making amends for what he has done, quietly and sincerely while getting the therapy he so desperately needs.

Right?! I keep reading comments that are like, "Didn't you all make mistakes when you were 13?" and "Can you honestly say you didn't do those kinds of things when you were 13?" Um... Yeah, I can absolutely say I did not do those kinds of things when I was 13 or EVER. If people did do the things this guy did at any age they are sadistic abusers. Sneaking out of the house, name calling, sneaking into the liquor cabinet, these are normal mistakes kids make. What he did is not normal 13 year old acting out behavior, they are the actions of someone who is deeply disturbed.

I managed to finish it somehow but it was the first time that I didn't want the leads to end up together. I wanted the male lead to tell her to have a nice life and move on with his life. Let's hope they change it!

For real. They took noble idiocy to the extreme with the female lead towards the end. I also hope they go a different route for this version.

Same! Except I started crushing on him in Pleasantly Surprised. The drama was not that great but I totally loved him. Before we got Married took his hotness to a whole new level lol.

I didn't love the Korean version all that much (mostly just the last couple episodes) but I am going to watch this just for Jasper Liu.

LOL! I have major DD with 106 dropped dramas.... and those are just the ones that I remember to put on my list. There are tons that I started on like Youtube and watched about 10 minutes and clicked away to never return. Once in a while I can return to a dropped drama if I'm in the right mood but most of the time I bid a drama adieu with zero regrets. Life is too short to watch something that I find boring or annoys me. Also if you work and go to school full time, that drama watching time is precious lol. Therefore for me, it is a blessing.

Great article :) I will probably at least attempt to watch all of them but I am especially excited for Octogenarians and the 90s because Janice Wu is one of my faves.

What happened?

This is exactly the comment I was waiting for to decide if I wanted to watch this or not. Definitely gonna watch now :)

I've been very impatiently waiting for this drama to finish airing so someone can spoil it for me and tell me if it's a happy ending or sad ending. Even if it's a sad ending I need to mentally prepare myself before diving in (and that's on having anxiety lol).

My sister got COVID and still can't fully taste 6 months later. My friend's dad was in a nursing home and there was an outbreak and he passed away from COVID and she was not able to be by his side. I've seen firsthand that this virus is very real. So, I think we are going to have to agree to disagree and leave it at that.

1. It's a mask, not a muzzle.
2. PCR testing not being accurate does not disprove the entire existence of the virus.
3. Who said anything about blackmailing him?
4. Even if the aggressive strain is not in one part of India that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. What's the logic here? Because virus not everywhere, virus nowhere.
Were all these "plandemics" as well:

Guess what? Not everyone died and not everyone got sick. Plagues and viruses have been popping up since humans first appeared on the planet, and there will be more in the future. So I'll go ahead and listen to the vast majority of scientists and health professionals who went to school for this, as opposed to someone who made a comment on a drama website.

Lol, I've actually completed 134 dramas and those are just the ones I remembered to add....

This made me lol for real! I suffer from the polar opposite, the CDD aka Constantly Drop Disease. My drop list has over 100 dramas and there are tons more that I have dropped that I just never added.

Great article :) I had never heard of this but I am definitely adding to my watchlist.

The manga this is based on is freaking adorable.

Tbh I don't really see what him cheating has to do with anything. Is it a crappy thing to do? Yes. Does it hold any bearing in regards to custody? Not really. Adultery might affect divorce settlements but not custody cases. In court, an unfaithful parent does not mean a bad parent. A quick google search will tell you that. My main thing is that she treated the kids like they were trendy handbags that can be replaced. Her wanting to grind down her own dog's teeth, saying she wanted to force 2 OTHER women to have late term abortions and saying they could just have more kids later on if they got back together tells me everything I need to know about this person. When a person shows you who they are, believe them. Also, crappy parents can want custody of kids too, in fact it happens all the time.

What latest news?
