May I Love You by Jae Yeon is pretty, more my taste, and Numb by Lim Yeon (although it uses well established harmonies, it's nice)

Edit, I'd like Korea to return to the natural voice, pitch-correction is distancing, makes it harder to connect. Lately I'm being drawn to Japanese music for this reason, it's real and extremely refreshing.

It's manipulative.
She's using pathos to appeal to your emotions, instead of facts, there are no verifiable facts ("If someone,..." begins a statement so full of conditions she's wary of legal retaliation - and speaks on behalf of a group, instead of herself, to make her argument appear stronger).
Humble-brag ("I'm not as tolerant a person as I thought" she's informing you she's tolerant;
"I sincerely apologize for taking up public resources...", she's not sorry).
Inserting superfluous truth words like 'truly', 'sincerely' (why would we think she's not being truthful or sincere?).
Making vague points and omitting details not in her favour (such as "neurological issues").
Over-explaining.
Shutting down her critics ("only a doctor....").

Is this the statement of a person abused or a list of mitigating circumstances to explain her own behaviour?

All conflicts have 2 sides, I just wondered if anyone had heard the other side of it.

Start your own website if you don't like it
I don't love AI subs, yet I maintain they're better than Viki's Actual Unntelligence. Any subtitle unrelated to necessary translation is graffiti. There's an art to subtitling, Viki doesn't have it, it has no taste, it makes me physically sick. Last year there was a drama that only Viki carried, so I briefly went back - and felt sickened immediately. Overt, collaborative displays of group ignorance are not acceptable, I don't watch Viki, I can't stand it - if that's ok with you, as long as I have your permission to choose what I want to watch.

I'm talking about the graffiti. It's a terrible faux pas to add your own personal content to subtitles. They ruin every artwork they broadcast. An ai would do a better job because it wouldn't say "🙂 Yay! subtitles by a bunch of kids 🙂" at the beginning and end of everything, or add subs over inappropriate content like song lyrics - those moments are for watching the scene, taking it in, contemplation... NOT to be assaulted by words. I'd rather miss a drama than pay Viki. It doesn't respect the dramas and movies it streams.

You did, I'm always enthusiastic to see what you write, although it doesn't make perfect sense as the 'badass' bunny blocked me, so I can only see yours and mine. Too badass for me.

It recorded 68 million viewers in its first week. It is the most-viewed Netflix drama in its first week ever .…
Not trying to knock the show. What constitutes a 'viewer'? 10 minutes of auto-play?
The number of SG articles in my normal, non-mdl news feeds is a red flag. I never watch anything that's shoved in my face... To me, it indicates Netflix is disappointed over the number of new subscriptions it's seeing.
