I just scrolled up as you suggested I can see that initial insult it seems to have escalated quickly after that. I think you had/missed an opportunity to remind the responder name calling spoils the usually friendly banter of mdl.

Commenting on characters and plots etc is one thing but twisting it into an attack on another MDLr who is disagreeing with you is ill mannered.

I recall during the heated exchange MK said you date who you want and if I want to seduce HM that's my choice, or words to that effect.

Next step to destabilise YJ will MK attempt to date Hanmin?

I say again 'without proof' I can make weird allegations but it does not make the statement true.

" he wanted everybody to know you can never trust a pretty face" you seem very triggered on this topic despite asserting there being no proof of sexual harassment.
I feel there is too many unproven accusations levelled at people with a public profile and I distrust the motives of people who use the internet anonymously to discredit others.

I was intrigued with MK's body language. His deliberate slow, vague responses and hints of knowledge whilst casually eating the ice cream and at one point doing the classic power pose of hands behind the head were triggers for YJ. He pretended he couldn't recall what his anonymous note said and accused YJ of wanting to control him. All of this passive aggressive behaviour over a
relationship from X years ago hints at some deeper issues. YJ is getting wound up and possibly more sensitive because of the budding new romance. Even if he tries to ignore or avoid MK I think MK will find ways to retaliate.
This is pure drama, however, it is also vulnerable people.

Kazuta seems very green flag so far, looking forward to learning more about him.

This is a terrific list. I have watched a lot of the titles but am glad there are more for me to investigate.

hahah

I think your imagination has gone into overdrive and you are working yourself up about people you do not know. Take it down a notch. None of us know how long their relationship may have limped along.

I have watched; Only Friends 7/10, Back from the Brink 10/10, Hidden Love 10/10, The Forbidden Flower 10/10, The Princess and the Werewolf 9.5/10 so you are spot on so I will look into the others Pit Babe, Cherry Magic, When I Fly Towards You - thx

I am curious are you Oppa a male or are you Cheerful Smiles who wrote this exact same review on December, 17, 2019?
I wanted to answer you seriously and looked up ages of consent.
The legal age of consent is 20 years old in Korea.
The legal age of consent in New South Wales Australia is 16 years old.
So straight away we have a different perspective on an 'adult' making a decision to have intercourse.
Then I looked up some of your other reviews and was further educated about your harsh views regarding morality. As an aside I will mention I was president of a counselling charity and a therapist for 10 years before retiring so I think my views on morality are very much broader.
MDL provide quite good descriptions of the story-line they are offering and place dramas into categories, however, reading some of your reviews, (also the harsh language you use to describe the actor's characters - e.g. "whore, slut, micro penis, inhuman, shameless, arrogant jerk "- excerpt from your review of The Story of Park's Marriage Contract), I do not think we could have a meaningful dialogue.

I am besotted with the Australian writer Lian Hearn.
Her series Tales of the Otori, set in feudal Japan, have sold over 4 million copies and have been translated into nearly 40 languages.
The writing is very immersive and beautiful.
Having devoured all of the Otori series I am currently reading Emperor of the Eight Islands - The Tale of Shikanoko.

I think, given her career, her choice to be in a long term romantic relationship was a good thing.
In a stable relationship you are more likely to learn more about your wants and needs, especially when it starts from a young adult age. Choosing to separate is often about discovering you are moving in different directions.

If consensual I would not be concerned, however, if the arranged marriage is a forced union to enhance wealth or prestige of a family and treats their offspring as assets it is, luckily, becoming rarer. Most religions advocate for consensual unions and forced marriage is condemned by the United Nations. That is, I believe, what the civilized world is coming to.

Lovely

I think having 6 men suddenly show interest in a short space of time is a fantasy and belongs in a fairytale but who am I to disparage someones idealism - hence the apology.

The drama was probably under high scrutiny so maybe not due to danmei directly.

Thank you
