Thanks for relaying this story from the Korean media, Lily Alice, will be interesting to see the full story.

Is it a poor person? If the story involved an accident with the props, wouldn't it be newsworthy? Maybe the death was a heroic act to protect somebody else from a collapsing structure... since we don't yet know, why's it automatically salacious?

Aren't you virtue-signalling over the topic of privacy? Celebrities are people that others are interested in, news stories are written about them and, for the most part, they like having stories written about them. I like reading about celebrities and don't feel the need to pretend I don't, just to appear more decent.

Thanks, in that case I'll finish it!

No.

Feminists hate femininity. The irony is palpable.

Feminists don't like pretty girls. Feminism's gone so far off the rails that it's cultivating misogynism. You're not a feminist, you're just a less attractive woman with no right to judge or attempt to alter the landscape for other women, yet feel you must.

Yes, great title, much better

It's ok if you don't like her voice, but you go overboard with your insults. It's not phony, it's her voice. She's not raising the pitch of her register like one other lead actress recently - which really was phony.

Nobody. Some people mention a backlash which creates an association.... the illusion that there is a community of trolls out to get her, or that she's done something that deserves a backlash. I prefer to just see comments about her, good or bad, whatever. If someone doesn't find her to their taste, it's just their taste, not a backlash.

I dropped it, it looked like it was going to get nasty - apart from the two protagonists, every single other character was a bastard, there was no balance.

If we don't mention a backlash there will be no backlash, just opinions.

Reported. Don't ask for spoilers. FFS just go read the comments on that page if you want to know. 😠

Fair enough, who did you hope for? For me, JBA lights up the screen and she's demonstrating just how to lead a drama in her current one.

Ah thanks! I just started and thought something was up, a bit soapy and low budget, that explains it. I'll put it on hold for now, I certainly don't have the stamina (or patience!)

Agreed. Moon Chae-won is adorable, I think my favourite scene in The Innocent Man was when all four leads shared a car together to go on a trip or something, just one lovely minute. Do the two Joong-kis get compared because they have the same first name or because they're both in Arthdal, or is there some connection between them?

It may be nothing to you, your concept of bullying differs from the reality.

Victims of school bullying live in dread. From waking in the morning fear sets in, planning alternative routes to school, lying to their parents in order to get enough money together to live another day, suffering damage to their psyche by pretending to be 'friends' with the tormentors to save face, facing humiliation in front of their peers, being trapped and confined in the same space as the tormentors with no way out on a daily basis, being ignored by teachers that can see clearly what's going on.

If these kids grow up with a little more confidence and a bully gets famous, why should they pass up the golden opportunity? Fame is fragile, it's a fantastic equaliser for victims. The bully cannot touch them, they can't even pay someone else to do it, if anything happens to the victim it will be the end of them.

It sounds like you believe the allegations but feel the accusers should be silent. Isn't that just too convenient for you, to disregard the hard truth? Anyone that has this in their closet can stay out of the spotlight... or face it honourably, with humility. Not deny it, not skew the facts, not make excuses for themselves. No, no, no. That does not wash with the fans.

I like him. Being handsome is a talent in itself, if he wasn't you'd probably have no issue with his acting. He has to manage the pressure to justify his popularity to people that share your view, without overstating or understating unnecessarily. He also has to sift through a mountain of offers making it hard to discern which projects are best for him, for example Space Sweepers probably looked great on paper.

I must admit I didn't pay much attention to his acting work at first, to me he was just another idol taking a shot, but... he's worked hard, worked his way up the right way with small roles and he's made it, he has talent, he's tall, handsome and he's made it as an actor in his own right, with character and charisma. Good luck for his future career, I see he's still got back to back projects on the go and in the release pipeline... he's unstoppable!
