Too late, I'm already on Ep12. I have the bad habit of finishing boring dramas once I start watching.

The only drama worth my time this year (2024) was Marry My Husband, everything after that has been a torturous slow death.

This year is cursed with boring dramas.

I don't think she deserved a redemption arch, in fact the writer should have just forgotten about her and ended with something else about their friendship. She wasn't in their friendship circle, so no one would miss her.

So you're telling me that prosecutor couldn't figure out the last four digits when he had a list of so many combinations. That just didn't make sense especially since he was having an affair with the woman (wife) whose numbers were the last digits.

Any scammer will first try birthdays as most people use these as password & key combinations.

What an annoying drama. I like Ji Sung but this drama wasn't it. Bored out of existence and the mystery & intrigue was just mid.

Boring, waste of time for me too. I rated it as a 7, it had a childish storyline that doesn't compared to what you think the big secret is. There is no big reveal!!

Netflix is pay TV and not strictly like NHK or other public broadcasters. Public broadcasters sometimes adhere to strict social codes unlike Netflix.

I'm going to be very angry if that actress turns out to be the killer just because she wanted a guy. They better have died for a good reason.

The only people that can really protect or help when it comes to prison are the people that know the law and are willing to take either the police or state to task on things they fail to do.You need advocates, not friends, people with sway and power to look out to you.

He is lucky being a celeb, becoz at least it won't look nice if one of the most internationally recognized Koreans loses his life in a Korean prison or something happens. Won't be a good image for their country.

They've already faced alot of criticism on how their laws are lax on sexual crimes while harder on someone that has some mental health issues. Not sure they need more bcoz the world is slowly waking up to how "Hell Josean" as young Korean call SK is a real hellish place.

That's why, they are always encouraged to invest. So I do hope that, he has a nest egg somewhere or owns a few buildings like most Korean celebs that he can sell off. He has been in the industry for long enough to have invested,he's not a newbie.

Do we always need romance to make a drama interesting?.

I said the same thing too, it seems like that "scandal" was the only driver of intriguing makjung drama. It's better to have 1-2 episodes to tie lose ends. Instead they have 4-6 episodes left with no real conflict.
The cases and the office drama lacks the necessary conflicts. If you know you're doing 16 episodes, pace it so that there's filler episodes full of unnecessary padding.

Fair Use Interpretation: Fair use is a legal defense, not a right. It’s interpreted differently depending on the context and jurisdiction. Fair use often covers commentary, criticism, parody, and educational purposes, but these still fall into a gray area.

Rights holders might still dispute whether a use is truly "fair," leading to a takedown or claim.

What am I going to do after reading fair use?. Am I the one suing or the one whose ideas were ripped off.

If sued only the court of law can interpret what is proper "fair use".

Just you claiming it's "fair use" or quoting a few lines claiming that it's "fair use" doesn't mean the copyright right holder shld grant you any rights.

As long as the copyright holder doesn't even want you to use their stuff, you can't use it. This concept is applied on YouTube all the time, where the copyright tool will prevent you from posting even small sections of a video if the original copyright holder doesn't allow it.

YouTube uses an automated system called Content ID that scans videos for copyrighted content. If a match is found, the rights holder can choose to block, monetize, or restrict the video, making it unavailable, even if the uploader claims fair use.

What are you talking about?. You sound confused, also you replied to my comment.

Only a court of law would determine Fair Use if the copyright holder decides to sue. So give it rest.

But if the rightful copyright owner doesn't sue, then they are still exercising their rights.

Some creators just want you to acknowledge that you've used their work. They even set out rules of how to acknowledge. In that case that's not a copyright infringement. Not every creator of works will assert their copyright. Simple as that.

The things you mentioned only apply if there's an actual case brought before the courts and someone is asking for compensation.

If he mentions that he's paying homage, that's a different scenario from just using stuff and writing it off as yours. Like I said how can you compare that to this situation.

Since he acknowledges it, he leaves the choice to the copyright holder to sue or not to sue.

Tarantino is probably friends with most of those people anywhere.

This is different from when little known creators have their work plagiarized.

Thieves also don't pay homage or try to sample, they just pass off the work as theirs.

We were not talking about general ideas here since you said you studied copyright laws.

Honestly, if you knew what you were talking about it's not that hard to name one case or the "locus classicus" of copyright law.

Using examples without the legal principles established by law is kind of lame.

Besides, I already know how to use Google, why would I pay a person that can't even name one copyright/intellectual property case.

Using Tarantino is not that helpful because you don't know what sort of deals he has with those other creators , since he is a celebrated director. Much different from other people.

You read alot of copyright laws but right now you are giving me an opinion your opinion. What is your legal basis for saying that?. Do you have caselaw that establishes that point of view as a legal norm or principle ?.

How would you know what the Mangaka would do or say if they never exercised their right to sue for copyright infringement. Just because someone waives their rights to sue doesn't mean there was no copyright infringement.

Some artists decide not to sue, which is well within their rights to do.
Besides lawsuits take time and money and this might be the reason why some artists don't
sue.

You should be very afraid if your only credit to creativity is ripping off other people's artistic ideas and talents.

How would you know? It was never tested in a court of law. The Mangaka of Kaiji never asserted his right or say anything about the issue.

In fact the writer of Squid Game admitted that he got inspiration from several Japanese Mangas.

Inspiration also doesn't extend to copying certain aspects of the Manga. Anyone that read the Kaiji knows Episode7 S1 of Squid Game has the same game as in Kaiji. So much for inspiration.
