After processing the scandal and related news for a week, I've come to realise a few things: - I am fine with KSH not attaining A-list status. His acting calibre is A list or beyond, but I don't want him to necessarily become an A list 'star' who has to always walk a thin line between publicity, PR, fandom and producers' massive expectations. I want him to act, and act well, but not necessarily in big productions and doing PR all the time.
- Today's Arena interview and his time at 2D1N have shown that he gets deeply involved in characters when he acts and has trouble letting himself go. He is a very artistic and sensitive soul. I remember how much Heath Ledger's mental health suffered when he was doing the Joker and I don't want KSH's mental health to suffer in a similar way - I'd rather take time off, do roles he can do justice to, have a gap between heavy roles and generally find a balance that works well for him.
WIth these thoughts in mind, I have come to terms with the fact he doesn't have 3 movies or CFs lined up. I am sure he will get a suitable role in time, but I'd rather him take time to heal and rest at the moment.
One thing I realised after reading the full OP post on Nate is that KSH took consent at every step along the way - she clearly mentions him asking, is this okay for you, in every aspect of the story.
At this rate, they will cancel all the popular and talented actors of their industry and then can themselves act…
Funnily enough, every single 'cancelled' actor/actress has been hugely talented. I mean, there's something inherently wrong when people place more importance on a vague sense of morality than actual talent.
He should come to the UK and do a few west end theatre shows and act in a few artsy award winning movies. He can then go back to the highly demanding 🙄 Knetz once he is even more internationally famous than now.
Does anyone know the religion that the funeral rites in ep 16 belong to? It's not regular buddhism, is it related…
It’s a Korean traditional funeral not connected to any religion (probably has history before 4th century arrival of Buddhism). The procession is called a Barin and still seen in rural communities.
I think Grandma Gam Ri is my favorite character. She reminds me of my own grandma.
She reminds me of mine too. She always used to cook food for me (and send it to my city 1000s of miles away), and always asked me to go stay with her. I never had time to spend with her sadly - makes you wonder what's really important in life.
I’m only on episode 8 so far and I was wondering what part of the drama had strong s*icide themes as netflix…
It's still very light and breezy till the middle of ep 14.. I think they won't delve too much into the suicide issues (to be shown in ep 15) as I suspect it will all be happy and cheery again in ep 16..
