Korean age is 19 not international age which is creating the confusion. When you check online it literally says that the legal adult age is 19 in international age not Korean age. So Korean age she would have to be older for it to count. Now does the drama say she is 19 in Korean age or international age that is the question.

Still though someone kissing a stranger without consent without even knowing the response they are going to get is wrong no matter the age. I get why age gaps themselves don't bother people. That's not my problem as long as both are consenting 'adults'. Even if they personally make me uncomfortable I'll try to ignore that.

First of go check what 'Tu Quoque' fallacy is. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque
Second why the f are people commenting that there were no complaints on IC? I literally saw people saying they didn't like Yi Seo, that they found her annoying, hated her, and gave the reasons why they thought that. But some commenters brushed it of by 'oppa didn't end up with your girl so you are hating on Yi Seo' conveniently ignoring that people gave valid reasons for why they couldn't root for the character. Infact some people here have said already they didn't like it in IC either but others go on and conveniently ignore those people to suit their purposes. Same goes for Goblin. And if there were people who were indeed okay with that then it's on them doesn't change that fact that this drama has problems that are way more than IC had. Even the people defending this drama have said hypocritical things so just by that people should be allowed to proclaim them wrong without having to explain their side yet they are trying to give reasons instead of just giving out the hypocrisy excuse. I bet the people doing that aren't saints themselves and say hypocritical stuff and are not consistent all the time either. Cause guess what all of us are flawed humans capable of being hypocrites. Also there is such a thing as congnitive bias that every single one of us has. That should be enough to prove everything in the world right or wrong? If that's so then it includes people defending the drama too. So should other people use that as an excuse too? Why, are your arguments that weak that other people's hypocrisy is the only way you can pretend the things shown in the drama are not wrong? Atleast IC tried to tackle the racism issue. What is this drama doing huh? Still you want to watch the drama despite the issues do so, never said you shouldn't but stop trying to tell others not to say anything. They have every right to. That said I would be happy if this drama tackles those issues sensitively though why they had to do with such problematic stereotypes will still be a question still it would be something.

Oh so I should just understand people want to be racist huh? But others should not be understanding? Nvm why do I even bother. People decrying other people's hypocrisy are saying hypocritical things themselves. Whatever I don't want to engage anymore.

I don't. I am seeing people do that so I am pointing it out. That if it were them they wouldn't like it. And the fact that it has affected you and probably others further prove my point. Also when it comes to my watchlist I haven't checked the details out for everything yet. Thanks for reminding me to do something about it by the way. I have even removed some drama that have things I have problems against. Don't worry I know how to use my own judgement. Also even if I do watch these things I won't pretend the problematic things don't exist. Also is it not true that these same people want others to suffer by saying it's just fiction and pretend everything is okay?

True but if you notice there are indeed people condoning the actions by saying it's not wrong. So when you say it does not mean people are condoning such actions then why can't I see that instead? How do I believe that when it's quite obviously the opposite.

That's the thing though people only brought up how they didn't like the actions and didn't condone them yet the ones defending the drama insisting on having people say nothing so people had to explain themselves. Which blew out of proportion. If you don't want that just let people mention their discomfort and their opinion. If people keep on questioning that then don't be surprised others are replying.

I don't care if the the instances in the drama are sexual harrasment or not. But I want to point out how there are people who are even excusing it in real life. For those saying the other party has to feel uncomfortable for it to be sexual harrasment. How does the person doing it know how the other person is going to react? They don't know the other person enough, and yet kissing out of nowhere? So do it and then care about the consequences? Okay...

Enough. The age gaps issue and everything else I was concerned about. But now the Racist stereotypes. It bugs me even more that the other. No I am in no way okay with that. I am Indian
Stop using the it's in Indian culture too or in other cultures as excuses. This characters is this is obviously not based on that. So stop using that as an excuse. What is the context in which the character is shown? That's what's important here. And I agree with people saying that's problematic. I don't find it humorous at all. The way it's is portrayed is wrong. Representation matters but instead it's perpetuating those stereotypes. If you don't want to listen to me cause I am not black fine but then educate yourself on the topic. Stop using excuses. It is racist period.

Inbox ?? What about it?

Then I'll watch other good dramas simple.

No I am not going to watch I hear your voice, hundred days with mister arrogant, high school king of Savvy, this that or other dramas/movies which tend to do that my problem will remain consistent when it comes to that aspect.

I agree with the underage part. Even if I were to make excuses about how the pairing looks on screen or how age gaps are okay regardless of how big of an age gap or whatever for the actors/actresses who are of age. But when it comes to underage actresses (even actors but that's so rare I don't even know of an example) being paired up against way older actors I am not okay with it no matter what. Just yesterday I was reading comments on the Mirror of the Witch with Kim Sae Ron (I avoided the actress's high school love on for the same reason) and it disgusted me how people were using all shorts of excuses for it.

I see how it is. It happens so let it continue to happen am I right? Still atleast they weren't in High school!

Yeah well it was in answer to the original comment whether that short of thing is wrong or right though is a different conversation. Still if you are asking me I was hoping they would address the kissing issue cause they touched on other topics but didn't so yeah that fact disappointed me. I mean the FL literally mentioned that a kiss without consent was indecent assault but even if she only said it cause she was a sociopath the writer knows but apparently he didn't really think it wrong enough to do anything about it.

Thanks now I know which drama to take off my to watch list.

Itaewon Class

Well I happened to read a lot of comments where people indeed had those problem with both IC and Goblin. People have had those arguments. I have seen some people bringing up Goblin during IC too.

The annoying part isn't giving an opinion on the drama but about judging other commenters and assuming things about them.

Ten eps is a lot. But I did read about it. So I know how it ended for her. For me a lot of things weren't justified even in the end. But your kind of annoying comments are exactly why I decided to not continue in the first place. But I kept up hoping to be wrong by reading the recap. That enough for you?
