You mean at a cinema? Yes, it was. It's always thrilling to watch K-movies on the big screen because it's so rare in the uk, maybe quite a few parts of the world have almost no theatrical releases.

Evidence is evidence. There's evidence there that you're a fixed thinker. Have you heard of circular definitions? Why is it not an improvement?

For the 3rd time of saying: if one person gets away with something do all criminals get a free pass? The law is the law. I'd like to know what went on behind that case - it looks dodgy, probably implicating powerful people - as in diddyandepstein. Protection doesn't last forever. Maybe one day a real journalist will have the courage and means to break it down, once the wall is chipped, it shatters. We might have to wait until the whole k-pop juggernaut is on the decline.

Ah, she was good, the PD's assistant. But .. I thought they'd finished filming this drama, it's been in production for so long!

Edited. This is the kinder version: He did something to the detriment of the country, like breaking the law, advocating illegal activities, lowering the morale of the population, costing the state money.

I'm hoping each network's different

An absolutely amazing year for MBC. I hope they don't do the thing where they invent awards for everyone. Any of these could pick up prizes at the Baeksang Awards too.

It was all original music made for this film

His accountant does the tax returns. Oh well, sounds like he tried to exploit a loophole, got caught, paid his dues, won't do it again. It sounds pretty routine, I wonder how it made the papers, was it leaked or the journos sit poring over tax documents all day?

Yuk, a prequel.

Sorry, it's not in the film, I can't think why I thought it was part of it... "the yellow dragon awards" was, of course, from the esteemed and legendary KBS classic Beauty and Mr Romantic! Nothing in common at all, except maybe I was watching it at around the same time. So you can ignore that part, my bad, I'm an idiot

Here's how it's done, I tell you this because I support this film and its director and it's really annoying that distribution is curtailed. Get a VPN subscription (Nordvpn works for most sites worldwide, its IP addresses are less detectable, but if you have ExpressVpn or any other, they should all work) connect via USA, then open viki.com in your web browser. You can rent the film for $4.99 no need for subscription. If you have a Viki account in the uk, it *might* try to say you're not situated in the states - in that case, open viki.com in an incognito window and create a new account, I don't use Viki these days because their subtitlers ruin films and dramas. None of this is illegal. However, sites like Viki try to stop it recently to pander to copyright/distribution holders, no need to let them know about it.

Noted, thanks. We're also discussing the same topic you raised, whether it's woke or not. You probably had a version of the page opened before our replies appeared... if you refresh, the whole conversation will come up, which will add sense to what Mephisto said.

We're all talking publicly, it's not a place to pick and choose, that would be rude.

I'm a fan of LA. What do you like from the list?

It wasn't a joke, it's in the film... did you really watch it? What did you think I meant?

No it isn't woke. Woke is where a gay character is inserted to make a point, tick a box, etc. which is probably also insulting to most of the gay audience. This is about a man trying to navigate his life, a proper narrative. If you're gay, how did you perceive it, was it successful in its portrayal? Btw there are multiple gay characters in the film, as you know, side issue.

Yes, it's virtually a 2025 film for all bar the few

Yes, it was bold. I'm predicting it to get some recognition at the Blue Dragon awards (the Yellow Dragon awards 🤭) as bold movies by top directors often do. I am a fan of Lee Eon-hee since Missing, and she did an interview after her film was screened in London this year which I thought was great of her.
