A very realistic look at growing old, being gay, and being alone. There is saggy, old sick and bodies that are falling apart but they tell a story of being true to yourself. Gay people eventually grow old like everyone else. The author's stories of the worm and the rooster gives so much background to the story being told.

Loved the journey that both of our MLs had to take to accept themself and the concept of family. It was thought-provoking and had a lot of discussion points. I'm glad I watched it after searching for a long time. It's the sort of story that most people who are ageist and like pretty BL shows would never like.

It's more about the risk and the thrill involved in these high stacks things like stock market and investments. Risk is huge and the profit is also huge. We live in different worlds and different mentality, you can never convince me to play the lotto but some people won't hesitate betting their life on it.

The rich always go for white collar crimes and other frauds especially investments and hedge funds and stock market.

Evolution on MDL? Did you ask JTBC why they keep interviewing victims instead of making lots of empty noise here? JTBC hasn't taken down their articles or the program or the video. If they are standing by their editorial decision, who are you to tell us how to think or to respond? I'm also not your honey!

Can you please stop harassing Lily Alice, and stop posting a false narrative? If you follow Korean News on Naver you would know that since Monday this week there have been over 100 articles published in Korea about this issue. On the 8th of April, another follow-up TV broadcast was made on this by the Korean TV program that started this case (JTBC Evidence Leader). So if the TV program and other Newspapers are still reporting on it who are you to say it's Lily Alice? Just today I read another Korean article about it, the ones you mentioned above are not the only newspapers in Korea.

I follow a lot of Korean news and can tell you that the story is very much on the news in Korea. Soompi just translates articles for International audiences and gets paid for other promos of artists but that doesn't mean that they cover all Korean Entertainment News. So please educate yourself before posting.

All it takes is going on Naver and searching Song Ha-yoon's name in Korean and all the recent articles from different Korean newspapers will come up. There are currently daily articles about the bullying story.

I forgot to update, I went to bed with the tail between my legs and couldn't find it anywhere. That it's even sold out so I can't even buy it.

I think it's more to do with the "ships" and "BL couples" created by the company and therefore there are more dedicated followers and para-social relationships and delusions while in JBL we take whatever couple we get. There are no permanent ships just actors doing their jobs.

There is also the age factor of most GMMTV productions which is younger or early adulthood while JBL have a whole spectrum of age.The JBL with younger actors and stories tend to be more popular as well as compared to mature storylines.

I'm off to find the manga, I just have a feeling something is missing. Love the story and its whole premise but I'm just missing something.

They don't really like Japanese BL that much, maybe one or two JBL will be popular but most of them are dedicated to Thai BL wholeheartedly, they camp under GMMTV BL productions.

ML's face has me stressed out since Tada Rikon but I guess that means he did a great job. Will be sure to check this out. Thanks in advance to Luwuang for the subs.

You told only the truth, it bothered me so much that they didn't work and he wanted to take over the business but had no strategies or ambition.

I wasted my time here even watching at 2.5x, I couldn't escape the boredom. I'm convinced MDL folks are really not a critical bunch. The highest-rated dramas on here can be so mid, that few of them deserve to be rated so high.This goes on the pile of useless,forgettable dramas, I've ever watched. So many unrealistic things especially when that cruel sister of his kept telling her kid (a minor) to go back to the US. How did that minor even pass through immigration? Then they tell their staff to go work at their house too? The FL is a superhero Mary Sue-type character that does miracles wherever she goes, she is superwoman and nanny McPhee wrapped into a smiling emoji.

Haha, you can try doing it slowly, like from 1x to 1.25x and increase the speed until your brain gets used to it. It's amazing what your brain can get used to if you train it. Your brain will barely notice any 0.25x increases.

Yeah, it's really unfortunate when that happens because sometimes new writers are so happy to show their mentors or people they respect the stuff they have written only for those ideas to be stolen. Even fan-fiction gets stolen sometimes.

I formed the habit of watching at 2x when I watched some old kdrama soap opera type dramas like Stairway to heaven/Tree of Heaven where some of the scenes are repetitive,slow or blank so I realized that I don't miss much. It only becomes a problem if a show is very fast-paced but most Asian dramas are not so it works perfectly. I will pause and rewind if I feel I've missed something. But normal speed now feels pretty abnormal to me.

Very talented at borrowing other people's ideas without crediting them, nothing new. A lot of writers use ghost writers these days. If she settled out of court once, there is a high chance she did it. Not saying she is not talented, but let's not forget the unfortunate person who almost lost their life because their idea was stolen. Talent and ethics should go together, not just at the expense of others. This is not a secret either.

Here are all the times she has been accussed of plagiarism. You can google the article.

1..A 2008 web novel Seolhee author Kang Kyung Ok also sued Park Ji Eun over plagiarizing some of the settings seen in My Love From The Star. The author insisted that Seolhee had been in the making since 2003, and that Park Ji Eun “stole at least eight major settings” unique to the novel. They later came to “an agreement.”, probably paid the web novel author in July 2014 after reaching an out-of-court settlement.

2...Park Ji Eun’s 2013 SBS K-Drama My Love From The Star is alleged to have included specific written directions for the opening sequence—said to be too similar to that of the 2008 American TV series New Amsterdam.

3...Park Ji Eun’s 2019 tvN K-Drama Crash Landing On You faced plagiarism allegations, too. A scriptwriter apprentice claimed, in a since-deleted online exposé, that Park Ji Eun stole the plot (of a North Korean soldier falling in love with a South Korean woman who crash lands in a paragliding accident) from their original, Unique Romance. The apprentice alleged that their original was submitted to a script writing contest, where Park Ji Eun must have read and “stolen” the idea.

She is the Queen of borrowing other people's ideas without proper crediting .

I'm so glad I waited almost 4 years to finally finish watching this because I couldn't buy into the hype when this aired. I was in between dramas and of course, I had finished Marry My Husband (2024) and needed a bit more of Park Min Young. But my intuition was right after all. All the hype was for nothing, this drama is so basic and the storyline is just a cliche.

The drama has been doing well on its own, without 5-minute cameos. The actors deserve to be praised for all their hard work.

she steals people's scripts though and has controversy for plagiarism. so I don't know if she's that good or someone that's protected.

Haha,just a habit I formed from watching emotionally drawn out Kdramas like Staircase to heaven where someone runs after a bus or some time wasting scenes like crying for 5 minutes. So why not try make them run faster,or cry faster (lol). I'm now so used to watching at that speed I often wish I could speed-up the news.
