ROFL... why you think it that way? I'm trying to be neutral, you know ;D

It is a touchy subject, indeed. I had to ask guidance from the editors first if it's okay to write it or not. It's a gray area.

Since I haven't watched as many Kdramas as you do (I assume you have watched a lot of them), what is Korean perspective on this sensitive subject?

No, I don't watch it. I actually never really watched Western shows (just when passing by). I just started watched dramas when I stumbled in Asian dramaland.

I haven't watched it, but why everyone gets a bit upset initially?

When writing this article I actually did some research on what happened in real world. There is a case on step siblings married each other nearly twenty years ago. They have several children now. One teenage son commented ‘You’re brother and sister, that’s yuck'. I say, it's an interesting comment of a new generation of the 21st century in a Western country.

As deswrath commented ML and FL, so are FL and SML, are not biologically related. Though have same 'parents' by registry, but ML is an illegitimate son of the father, and FL is already the daughter of the mom (not with the father). Only later FL is acknowledged in the family registry. They brought up together briefly until an incident happens that separates them. It's quite a complicated relationship of a chaebol family.

Is it true ML and FL never seen each other as brother and sister? The whole neighborhood know they were brought up together since little. The social issue is never brought up in the drama because Cdrama productions have to be careful not to put anything that may be an issue in censorship. This maybe raise a question if it's in Jdrama that has more freedom tackling sensitive issues.

Yeah, I think it's one of the romantic fantasies brought up by entertainment industry, looking for anything that may attract viewers.

Sorry, cos I don't watch Autumn in My Heart

Yeah, it seems like lots from Japan. It's quite interesting, isn't it?

Thanks for sharing the cultural perspective from where you're from. It's really insightful

I thought Clueless was an Asian movie until I looked it up lol

thank you so much!

It seems there is another girl whose real name is Genie?

First drama of any country or genre is always special ;D That is a good choice!

what is the first Cdrama are you watching now?

me too actually, I hate cliffhanger so I always wait until it's completely subbed. Though lately to write recap article I have to watch while it's currently airing or finished but no subbed yet. I can watch raw version without even understand the dialogue. But with so many dramas watched, the story becomes predictable, lol

Oh ok... so it's around 1950-1990. Wow, yeah that's not too many. Yeah, I tend not to watch those kind of drama. Not sure why, probably those drama genres are mostly slice-of-life genre or business which I'm not interested in. I mean Republican Era maybe is more suspenseful.

Yes I do the same, too. But that only works if we watch a drama that is completed, as MDLers added characters in and hopefully Wikipedia has info for popular dramas. If we want to watch currently airing drama probably need to look for info in the comment section, lol.
