Who is the "SHE" you're talking about? I'm a HE, you clown.

You're his fangirl. My statement was pretty obvious. If you can't understand it, I can't help.

A little hint: she k-lled herself on HIS birthday. You don't do that randomly.

This Pedo and his Pedo company can sue if they have the balls.

He's not the first man who was set free after committing a crime. So let's stop saying nonsense things like "innocent till proven guilty."

As for the photos, it's pretty easy to determine if it was done with AI or not. Pretty much every picture I've seen was REAL not AI. I know because I work with AI since I'm forced to use it as a graphic designer and film editor.

No one on this planet needs a whole year to analyze images and videos to see if they were made with AI or not. That's not how this works. And I actually heard him live saying he wants to marry a 20 year old girl years ago. That wasn't AI either, and neither was the fact that he knew this girl since she was a child. It's called GROOMING for a reason.

I'm sorry, what did you just say? "The VICTIM killing himself?" Are you out of your mind? The VICTIM literally killed herself because of him, and if that's not enough, she did it on his birthday.

If that's not enough evidence, you can see all the images and videos of them dating and him without underwear in her kitchen.

Ignorance is a choice.

Do you think I will argue with a little girl with a profile picture like yours? 😂

I liked him since EP1. 😂 I LOVE his attitude because I hate fake people, so I'm like him who tells the truth in everyone's face. Also, I don't act nice with someone who hates me or talk shit about me.

I get why some people can't like him, because he's like a mirror but also sometimes overdoing things but for a reason. In today's society, especially in SK not many people want to understand each other. We're just labeling people without knowing them.

Yes, it's true.

He should be in jail for life, not in the entertainment industry.

I've heard him say things like he wants to date young girls so many times and said other pedo things multiple times. We've all seen the videos and pictures of him with the girl. Those aren't AI-made.

I'm not surprised SK is protecting pedos. This isn't the first time. They never cared about the rights of women, and that poor girl can't defend herself anymore, so it was obvious he's going to win.

Anyone who defends this guy deserves the same room in hell.

EDIT: I'm blocking all the KSH brainless fangirls, so please go on. 😂

You literally said they should've added a kissing scene, or even a sex scene. Like, if I'm dense, what are you? You can't understand that a relationship on screen doesn't always have to show the viewer those scenes to make a romantic relationship work.

Come on, the OST/Score is great.

Taeyeon, Minseok (Melomance), Lucy, Seo Youngju, Choi Yu Ree, Paul Kim and Park Haki. The only song I didn't LOVE was Damons year, but it was okay too but not sure I would listen to it without the drama much.

Exactly.

We didn't have a disagreement; you just didn't understand what I said, and you wanted to put words in my mouth that I never said.

In my first comment, I never said anything that's a lie. Like I said, if the shoe fits, it's not my fault or my problem.

You still think people judge writing differently, and maybe that's true, but that doesn't change the fact that anyone with a functional brain can see if a story was well-written or not. It's just that A LOT of people don't care about that or are just blindfolded fans.

You can literally see how this story was poorly written; it was inconsistent, with no buildup to any story other than the romance, and so on.

Anyway. I said my piece; I won't do it again.

Funny you say this because your own comment inspired mine. 😅

If you think Dongman and Euna didn't have any romantic scenes, you didn't understand the drama or just skipped those.

They never said "I love you," and we've never seen them kissing etc, BUT we've heard Dongman literally saying he likes Euna, they were on a date multiple times, and he even said he's happy the watch can't show "love". That was basically a confession, and Euna understood it.

What's romantic is mainly about personal taste so I won't argue about that because there's no point.

"This is not what people in real life do, especially over many months."

How do you know? Do you know everyone on this planet? Leave your bubble; not everyone deals with romantic relationships as you do or most people.

"If the writer wants them to NOT be physically intimate, it's not too much to ask that she let her audience in on why these characters aren't going that way."

Do they look like mentally stable people? No. They aren't people who are just happy and casually holding hands and so on.

"Are they both asexual? OK, that's valid. Was EA molested as a child? That's valid, too. Is DM impotent? Also valid. Then Show. Us. About. It."

You're taking too far. Just stop. You don't have to experience these things for not wanting to kiss someone in every second or hold hands.

This is why I said romcoms are not an accurate representation of a real romantic relationship.

Sorry, I'm not going to read another book of yours; I have plenty of others.

I said everything, and I'm sure you still don't understand what I was trying to say.

It's actually sad that so many people don't want to pay attention to details and just want the same boring things. For starters. I don't like when people only see the surface of a character/story and say things like, "This character is crazy and unlikable. How can people like them?"

Neither of these characters is hard to understand because it's a well-written story.

As for the romance. No, I can't, and I'm never going to understand why some people want kiss scenes, not to mention sex scenes. Like, what the hell? Why? Some of you are going crazy about actual romcoms and forget that REAL ROMANCE is not about "I love you" or kissing scenes.

Dongman and Euna had much more intimate scenes in a single episode than most romcom couples in more than 10.

I feel like romcoms making people dumber and, most importantly, making them forget what real love is and how it should be portrayed.

This is why in Kdramas the romance is shallow and a lot of times has no depth and meaning. It's basically just fan service.

If you want him to become another perfect ML like in most romcoms, you better not watch this drama. This is about real people; the main point of the story isn't that viewers have to love these characters; you just need to understand why they are like this.

It's sad that some people drop dramas because they don't like the character, but Dongman is a more layered and complex character than a LOT of Kdrama characters I've seen. Is he likable all the time? No. You can't name a single person in life who's always likable, and that's the point of the drama.

Like Dongman said, he gives people what they gave him. Euna loves him, so he adores her. His best friend loves and understands him, so Dongman is nice to him too.

Dongman is basically a mirror that shows people who they are. If you can look past the cover, you will enjoy the book.

I'd rather have 1000 Dongman in my life than 1 fake nice person. If your life is insufferable, you won't act like Prince Charming. Life isn't that simple. His friends weren't any better, as you already said; it's just that they were hiding that side better.

Not hiding how you feel is one of the best qualities a person can have, and that's Dongman. If you paid attention, you know he was nice with people who were actually nice to him. Like his best friend, the younger director, not to mention his brother or Euna.

If I can't find a woman like Euna I'd rather die alone instead. 😅

"These are all absolutes. You’re not presenting them as subjective critiques; you’re presenting them as universal measurements, which is precisely the issue."

How many times do I have to tell you this? Judging writing or directing isn't about taste. You can see it with your own eyes if it was well-written or not. Just because some Kdrama fans want to ignore it doesn't mean it's not a fact.

It's like saying a singer who can't sing is still a singer I like. The two things aren't related, like at all. You, and just like many other Kdrama fans are so fixated on what you like when the topic isn't even that.

Just because you like a drama or a movie doesn't mean it was well-written. This is simple math.

"You say the audience is arguing about “nothing,” yet you wrote multiple paragraphs listing creative decisions, character arcs, historical inconsistencies, writing standards, and industry patterns"

The difference is that I actually have a real opinion, not just saying stupid things like, "HATER", "JOBLESS" etc if someone doesn't like my fave drama.

You're still talking about "everyone else" even tho I never mentioned everyone. It's clear the shoe fits for you. That's why you're arguing. I didn't dismiss anyone's opinion about the drama. It looks like it's hard for you to understand what I'm actually talking about.

You're talking about what fans like, meanwhile I'm talking about two toxic collectives that are fighting about nothing. They don't argue about why "Perfect Crown" is a shitshow or a good show. They're fighting about why it should be removed from this planet for good or why it's perfect without any REAL argument. This is why I said they're arguing about nothing because neither side has a valid argument. It's literally a kindergarten fight. This is also a fact, like it or not.

"those are not objective truths; they’re subjective conclusions drawn from your personal sample of what you’ve seen online."

No, they're not. These are also facts. If you don't believe it, you can read comments from Kdrama fans. At least 90% of the ROMCOM viewers are talking about kissing scenes and other scenes, not something else. So don't blame me for pointing out the obvious.

I literally said MOST or SOME people; ergo, I didn't generalize to an entire fandom. Pay more attention to what I'm actually saying. Also, Kdrama fans, in this case "Perfect Crown" fans, call everyone a "hater" or "jobbless" if they have a different opinion. I don't see you aruging with them and say they shouldn't generalize everyone. Why? Because you rate this drama 10/10 too so you agree with them?

"People do talk about acting, writing, direction, pacing, emotional beats—they just might be talking about them in places you haven’t checked or in ways that differ from your criteria."

Show me one review on MDL or anywhere else where someone actually wrote a decent review, analyzing the writing, directing, acting, or anything else you mentioned properly and not just saying, "The acting was great, the chemistry is OMG, he's so pretty, the story is just perfect, and so meaningful."

I think 1 hand is enough to count how many people are actually spending time writing a proper review about a drama or a movie. I don't care, btw, but let's not act just because some people say, "I liked the story; it was well made, the acting was good, the chemistry is great," etc is a real opinion. It's basically just a copy and paste nothing.

"A drama is not a racecar with a fixed speed reading. Craft is evaluated through a blend of technique, intention, and audience resonance—not rigid universals."

You don't have to be a writer to see if a script was poorly written; you don't have to be a director to see if the director did a bad job, and so on.

You're still talking about personal taste, and I don't know why. Taste has nothing to do with these things. These are facts, like it or not.

For the record, I have worked in the entertainment industry for over 20 years. Not that it matters, because if people actually pay attention to the details, they can see if a story was well-made or not. Most people just don't understand or just don't care because a "brainless fun" is enough for them. That's why blockbuster movies are still popular. That's why "Fast and Furious" can have like 20 sequels.

"You say “this drama doesn’t deserve a 10/10” as if it's measurable fact, but scoring will always be tied to emotional response. A 10/10 doesn’t always mean “perfect”

See? You finally found one thing I never mentioned as a fact.

Also, you're wrong too. 10/10 ALWAYS means it's perfect. Like, come on now. This is the most basic math on the planet. It's like saying 1+1 doesn't equal 2 every time. 😂 This is why I will never take ratings seriously on MDL. So many people are saying they don't want to rate dramas lower than 8/10 because it's disrespectful and they worked hard. And I didn't mention the obsessed people who rate everything 10 or 1 just because their faves are in or they don't like someone.

With this part of your comment, you proved my point about "critical thinking is dead." After like 5-6 long essays, we finally arrived at the finish line.

"You also keep insisting actors “don’t need defending” and “people should shut up and move on,” but that ignores how online spaces actually function."

When it comes to defending their poorly written Kdramas, they don't need defending. When someone attacks them personally and spreads fake news about them, it is a totally different story. Don't mix the two things. With "Perfect Crown" no one is spreading fake news about anyone. Except that one IU song they always keep bringing up almost every year.

You can defend your faves all you like, but you can barely see anyone do it the right way. Like I said above many times. Most people just say, "You're jobless, a hater, an idiot" and so on. That's not defending, that's just fueling the fire.

Why are people arguing with Knezt? International fans have zero power anyway, and it's not like MBC let alone Disney, will listen to 50 or 100K petitions. Just shut up and move on, and the so-called haters will move on too. But no, fans, the media, and even the production team keep talking nonsense. One side is just obsessed, the other side can earn more money thanks to the negative PR. That's why Disney made "Perfect Crown" available in many more countries now. They had never done such a thing before, btw. Not with licensed Kdramas.

"Most importantly, you repeatedly accuse others of lacking nuance while presenting your own stance as the sole rational interpretation. The irony is that your argument talks about nuance but doesn’t apply it—you go from “some” to “most” to “everyone” within the same thread. That’s why your statements read as absolute, even if you don’t intend them to be."

Do you know why I used "most", "some" or "everyone" in different sentences? Because all 3 were about different topics.

I will spell this out for you, AGAIN!

"Most people" don't care about the story in a ROMCOM.

"Some" fans are calling me a hater or a fake fan.

Just like saying "EVERYONE" who doesn't like it is a hater.

I love how SOME Kdrama fans always prove my point so easily.

"No one is asking you to love Perfect Crown."

Can you stop talking about this? I told you this so many times but still don't get it. My statement was NEVER about what people like.

I NEVER said my OPINION or my REVIEW about anything is a FACT, I said stating the obvious flaws of the writing, directing or even acting CAN BE a fact! Especially if it's done by someone who knows more about it than the average viewer.

For the record, I defended both IU and BWS when people said their acting is shit. I literally told everyone their characters are poorly written, barely any depth. and the directing was also done poorly. Like, the director himself came out and said BWS's performance wasn't perfect and it's mainly his (the directors) fault too. That's how acting work. If the script and the director are not good enough you can hire Meryl Streep it's gonna be better, but SOME people never pay attention.

"You can dislike something without demanding that everyone else justify why they don’t share the same viewpoint."

Now please use the same attitude and call out the so-called fans too for saying people who don't rate this drama 10 are haters and jobless. Don't be a hypocrite. I hate hypocrites more than bad writing.

"If the goal is to have a meaningful discussion, then acknowledging that different viewers value different things is a far stronger starting point than declaring your taste the universal metric."

I will say this one last time, the next time you mentioned this I won't be this kind because I'm fed up with this nonsense.

I never mentioned TASTE in my comments. I was talking about FACTUAL INFORMATION like bad writing and directing. Those are facts, like it or not. Doesn't matter how much you, me, or anyone else loves something. You can love the worst written movie of all-time but it won't change the fact that it was poorly written.

I think I said enough. I don't want to continue this because I'm just wasting my time. You're talking about a totally different things my first comment was about.

Thanks for proving my point.

Probably, but the English one is pretty good too. It's just simpler.
