Offer comfort in murder - I cant with women these days anymore
TBQF I can understand why a German male would be uncomfortable with the thought of women taking out the trash (net negative value abusive men). After all Germany is the country of Helmut Kentler, the man who ran a state-funded project that had foster children placed in the care of pedophiles during a time when German women couldn't get a job or open a bank account without a man's permission.
I don't know if this was intentional on the article writer's part (=clickbait) or not, but the headline could potentially be interpreted as Ryu Seung Beom's family having gone missing in Slovakia. It could easily be changed to something less confusing, e.g. "Ryu Seung Beom opens up about missing his family in Slovakia" or "Ryu Seung Beom misses wife and daughter while dividing time between South Korea and Slovakia".
I'm only on episode 1 so far, but to any French speakers who are thinking about watching this drama: be prepared,…
Finished the TV series now. Lee Yo Won was more comprehensible in French than either of the "native speakers" in the show, and she's not meant to be a native. It seems like the producers only had the actors memorize lines in Hangulized French and nothing else.
I don't see what the point was of having so much dialogue in French in the show. Louis is meant to be an intermediate speaker of Korean (and therefore probably switches to French because he has problems expressing himself in Korean), but there's no reason why he couldn't have been a Korean adoptee who learned Korean to a very high level later in life. It would've removed the need for the majority of the French dialogue.
I'm only on episode 1 so far, but to any French speakers who are thinking about watching this drama: be prepared, your ears are going to bleed because of the so-called fluent French spoken in this show (including the French spoken by the guy who's supposed to have been raised in France)! If it hadn't been for the subtitles, I wouldn't have understood even half of what they were saying.
Thank you. There isn't a shortage of women in south Korea or the world. And out of the millions of women he could've…
Plus, in most countries, age of consent laws that were created/amended in modern times exist so that teenagers past a certain age can have sex with people *in their age range*. They weren't created for the sake of men like Kim Soo Groomer, although his orbiters sure like to pretend that that is the case.
In the case of South Korea's old AoC law, I believe it was a remnant of the Japanese colonial period (the Japanese AoC on the national level also used to be 13 until recently) . Korea and Japan in the late 19th-early 20th century were very different places from today. The fact that a group of Japanese and Korean pedophiles might have thought it was fine for an adult man to date a 15-year-old in 1925 does not mean we have to accept it in 2025.
Judging by your asinine, braindead comment, you're either someone who would look the other way if your daughter was being groomed by your own boyfriend, or the type of "mature" 15-year-old that Kim Soo Hyun would try to groom.
This is a good initiative. It would pain me to see Korean cinema end up the same way as Hollywood, with nothing but remakes, reboots, sequels and shitty unoriginal movies coming out every year.
I didn’t make my point very clear. Sadly, I’ve seen dramas set in the present with the same concerns and outcomes…
Ok, I think I got you.
Regarding your point, there might be dramas set in our time that deal with similar issues, but some of the views expressed by the characters feel pretty outdated and "Showa-esque" by today's standards (and overall the story feels a lot like that of a Showa era drama). Of course, Kore-era could've chosen to set the show in the 21st century and modified the characters, but some directors prefer remaining as true to the source material as possible.
Another possible reason for the drama being set in 1979 might be that the director considered that it would be disrespectful to the screenwriter Mukōda Kuniko if he tried to "update" the drama too much, especially given that she died in a plane crash in 1981 (Far Eastern Air Transport Flight 103).
Finally, I'm not sure how popular the original was when it came out but a lot of fans would probably have reacted negatively if the time setting were changed from the late 70s to the 2020s. When the very popular 70s TV shows Akai Giwaku and Akai Unmei were remade in the mid-2000s, they kept the 70s time setting and that was probably because they would've received a lot of backlash if they'd done otherwise.
>Given that I’ve seen dramas set in the present with similar marital issues, I’m not sure why it was set in the past. Probably because the original drama and the novelization came out in 1979/1980
Dude thought it was funny and it is.... but women will never understand
I am extremely serious. Furthermore, the various rambling comments that you have posted on this page indicate that you too are a coomer scrote (or a pickme), and probably from Germany.
I am immensely grateful to Korean women for causing the number of coomers in the world to go down, thanks to the 4B movement and the birth rate of 0.72.

A male from Germany, a country where they thought it was a great idea to place foster children with pedophile men for 30 years (Kentler project), sees no problems with a fellow male posting pornography out in the open where everyone including minors can see it. Shocking!

He was still performing on stage as late as this year which is pretty damn amazing for someone in their 90s.

Glad you appreciate the information!
