If I were to say that people who like Goblin or boys over flowers can probably count to 3, that would be a similar level.

Thanks for recommending Falling into you, I took a look and it's right up my alley!

I agree 💯.

Freedom is not that difficult. To paraphrase Kant:"...freedom ends where the freedom of another begins...".

Let's take a simple example like a picture depicting a communist fraternal kiss. Depending on the viewer, the interpretation can range from pornography to solidarity to criticism of the regime. Who determines morality and where is it binding and who and how should offenses against morality be punished?

I held out until episode 11 in the hope that the unfriendly FL would thaw out at some point. Is it an Asian thing to make an potential lover suffer for a long time until you give him a smile? I'm definitely a friend of long introductory phases, but can't you be friendly during them? I would have turned my back on an annoying bi*** like that a long time ago, so I'm saying goodbye here.

Art must be free, because morality is something that is too readily abused by religions and ideologies. I would say that art should abide by the law, but in the past art has denounced the abuses of unjust systems by transgressing legal and moral boundaries. So the boundaries are rather fluid.

That was actually explained. FL has been working with some of the younger teachers for a few years, but did not share her tricks of the trade with the others as these are her secrets to success and there is strong competition among colleagues for students and time slots. This competition between colleagues and between academies was one reason why FL advised ML to choose a different profession. When ML joins the academy and immediately forms a team with FL, the others feel at a disadvantage as the secrets of success are shared in such close cooperation as well as she shares her reputaion with him.

As nice as it was of ML that he didn't want to replace FL as the Academy's advertising face, embodying the Academy's success story together as teacher and successful student in the next advertising campaign won't necessarily make a future as lovers any easier.

Is there an education system in this universe that doesn't need to be reformed? Here in Germany, nobody wants to be a teacher anymore. For good reason! In the meantime, career changers are being trained as teachers in the public school system in a fast-track training program. I recommend anyone who wants to be employed as a teacher here to have excellent knowledge of curative education, social work and quality management. You don't need to be able to deduce the Tower of Hanoi any more than you need to have read Shakespeare's sonnets - a degree in social education would be more important. I hear from my friends that it's the same in Switzerland or Singapore. However, we all seem to be facing major challenges in our education systems. No matter where we are, the problems in elite institutions are different from those that serve every student, but problems are everywhere, whether in Germany, Switzerland, South Korea or Singapore.

I feel the same! But I liked the Drama „Be melodramatic“ where Chun Woo Hee was in the Main Cast, so i think it‘s her role and not her acting that is annoying 🤷‍♀️I have to drop this one, can‘t stand it.

A well-written and well-executed fairy tale in which the women of the Hua family are the heroes and work together to save their future through intelligence, hard work and perseverance. Better than some Disney productions! Love it, gets a place in my alltime favourites list.

I think she explained it very well. I kind of reacted similar when my doughter told me that she won‘t be goingt to university but becoming a nurse for intensive care.

I think this is a typical conflict between parents and children, perhaps also between teachers and children. As a person with more life experience, you often foresee problems because you have experienced similar situations before. The more important the other person is to you, the more difficult it is to let go and let them have their own experiences. An example: I have often experienced that executives were poached to private industry by promising them company shares (5x), but in no case was this implemented as promised. So when my son comes to me and tells me that he has received exactly that offer, it is incredibly difficult not to say too much and just be happy for him.

Thanks for the link. I also experience parents putting massive pressure on teachers when their children have been reprimanded. I can't find any correlation to the level of education of the parents. But I have the impression that many children are no longer raised at home because the parents are either busy making money or they don't feel like dealing with the children at all. The education and upbringing of the children is left to schools, kindergartens, etc. As a result, they often have no realistic view of their children and they hardly spend any time with them. Putting pressure on your teacher is apparently easier than educating your own children. I am of the opinion that schools and teachers need more support. However, I don't understand what that has to do with this drama, because it's about a teacher making a mistake, which certainly does happen. Aside from that, the Korean dramas so far have left me with the impression that the system is very rigid and doesn't take good care of children's mental health. But no group of people have complained about it yet.

I work in schools and kindergartens, where I assist children with special needs. I think I've seen quite a lot by now, starting with parents bullying teachers, teachers bullying children, teachers being bullied by children, alleged cases of bullying that were nothing more than a small everyday argument between children or a avarage but stern reprimand from the teacher children who were actually bullied by other children . The vast majority of people get along quite well, but that doesn't mean that there aren't individual cases. Since the education systems in every country in the world are essential for our future, regionally and globally, criticism and discussion about the best possible measures to strengthen the systems is one of the most important topics of all. A drama like this is a good opportunity to talk about it. I reject any form of censorship and I say that as a German who has to live with the fact that being German has been predestined to portray personified evil in every kind of film production for decades. We endured it and used it to reflect on ourselves and become better. I recommend this to every nation and every group of people who feel attacked. Use it for self-reflection, maybe you'll find a starting point to improve or it's far enough away from you that you don't feel attacked.

I don't want to complain about the slow pace of the first two episodes. I like it when a story unfolds slowly. What I don't like is when the climax of the story is reached too early and you have to go through several 180 degree turns and hair-raising changes of direction in episodes that are actually superfluous. The main characters have been carefully introduced, you can already guess their strengths and weaknesses, and conflicts are looming.

I see, obviously I need to brush up on my knowledge quite a bit. It's been quite a long time since I dealt with this topic. In any case, your explanations are so interesting that I want to learn more about it, especially the historical context sounds fascinating. It makes me want to read the classics from Shakespeare to Kafka again. Thank you so much!

Because of the lack of comedic aspects, Midnightromance can logically not be called a romcom, because of the lack of a sad ending (hopefully) it cannot be called a tragedy, drama would be the generic term and melodrama a subcategory?

Thanks, very intresting!
