I get what you mean. Countries with a more sophisticated social structure such as Japan, SK, (many...) could teach us something if we paid attention. They exhibit higher personal responsibility and values, naturally tolerance is limited by those values. We're all writing on a forum as fans of those countries' works, yet some of us can't figure out why they appeal to us. How can we assume our values are better? Self-righteousness itself is not a value. It's ironic.

Well you clearly know nothing. Robert Downey Jr got cancelled. He got better and fought his way back, starting with Ally McBeal. There's a way back for everyone, many don't have enough strength or simply throw the towel in, but there's a way back.

Could you stop referring to 'Koreans' as one? Do you really empathise? Are you better than other commenters?... Not saying you're wrong, but drug addicts can go to quite extraordinary lengths to cover up and secure their supply, even making up fake medical histories. Do you happen to know any drug addicts? The few that I've known are the least reliable and biggest liars. Their whole world is a lie that they convince themselves is real and try to convince others of, where facts are merely an inconvenience that can be brushed over. As time goes on they get careless and/or reckless, their once reliable friends, associates and family get further away from them, and I suspect that's the time that things break down and they get into trouble - the law is the law, like anywhere, we all live by it, when it goes against us or people we admire, our reaction is to condemn it. As an empathetic person, what do you think's best for YAI - to face what's happened and fix the problem or ignore it and carry on just to make you happy and comfortable - whilst he probably gets worse? There's a way back for everyone once things clear up. I guess that's what Netflix is waiting for, it's in its interests to respect the laws and customs of the countries it operates in.

Thanks. I'll probably watch The Bridal Mask in between episodes. So many great dramas I haven't yet seen.

24% or 1% would be staggering. You had me worried for a moment 😉

It was indeed meant to be, great interview, thanks for the article LA.

Regarding returns for investors, I think there's something to be said for returns in artistic quality, not just money. That's the currency that lasts forever, cash disappears in the wind.

Definitely watching this

I love her, that's great news

Just making a good drama is what matters - fearing the fans is not helpful in that respect. None of the world's greatest works of art were made with fans in mind, and none ever will - hence Disney is doomed to a slow, miserable death.

Readers of normal books create their own world in their heads and each reader's vision is unique.

With graphic novels, that's taken away, the result is flat and lifeless when faithfully converting to screen, because the characters and situations don't have real depth or continuity - it's artificial to the extreme.

Filmmakers that make good adaptations fill the void that even the author is unaware of.

Yes, that quotation is corporate bullshit... that's why I already quoted it in my comment and explained it as such - if you bothered to read before replying. You sound like a stuporous Disney subscriber.

He has a good track record, he's lucky enough to be in a position not to sell his ideas, work and soul to an incompetent studio like Disney that *only* cares about money, it has no artistic integrity. I predict that The Tyrant will exhibit deficiencies associated with Disney and won't be good.

That's part of why I don't like them. Producers fear upsetting loyal webtoon followers as if it's a cult. I believe motion picture adaptations should be at liberty to change what they see fit, the written page never transfers well without adaptation - it contains thought and static framing, whereas film has a much larger surface visual and audio surface.

Same goes for Hyun Bin, I guess they're happy doing their own thing for now. And everything they do goes under the microscope now, so must cause some trepidation and makes it hard to pick good projects. She was brilliant in 39 but it wasn't a great series, it felt forced. Delicious Proposal's just been added to Kocowa, if interested - you have to get used to the square picture and the vibe, it's quite fun to watch old dramas.

The photo above. Looks like she's really struggling to pull off that smile. Concentrating too much on getting the little gap just right where we can see her teeth.
Was it Son Ye-jin that popularised that smile? Well she did it naturally, it's hers, she looked cute and still does. Now everyone tries to do it, sometimes unsuccessfully.

Hope this is good, last drama wasn't

No, don't waste your time with that stupid form, folks.

Meh, a prequel? 🤮
Disney?
I'll leave it then 🤗

Disney's creativity boils down to this - this is what it contributes to a project, boardroom idiots:

"Originally planned as a film, The Tyrant was turned into a four-part series during the production stage to..."
... try to get subscribers for its failing streaming platform. Not what it says in the article.

『Director Park Hoon Jung expressed, "I thought Disney+ was the best platform to present The Tyrant, as they respect the originality of the work and take bold steps."』

🤢 (Cough) seriously?!🤦‍♂️ They gave him money, I respect him less for saying this. It's in his contract to mention them, how vulgar and desperate Disney has become.

So, no, not interested.

I really liked Kim Seon-ho in The Childe, he carved out an original character and portrayed him with gusto and charisma - looking forward to seeing what he does next. The Witch Subversion is also one of the best films I've seen. Alas The Tyrant is on Disney, I'll leave it then. 🤗

Not for you then. Don't sweat it. 6d viewing 😆
