Yeah, that's the type of evidence I'd wait for. And it should be investigated if there's reasonable suspicion that any of it is true! I hope they do.

Thank you!

Well, it's just that I try to avoid believing what I see on the internet unless it's from a reliable source (and ideally from a few reliable sources). In fact, that goes for what celebrities say, too. I just assume most of what I see of them off-screen is a facade. But I think it's one thing to assume that celebrities aren't as good as they seem, it's another to slander them for specific immoral acts without evidence, don't you think?

These all sound really terrible, but this list isn't evidence, they're claims, no? 😬

I'm not trying to defend him, I actually think most celebrities are not great people; they are just good at covering up the stuff they do behind closed doors. It's just that I don't like getting on bandwagons without having evidence first.

I am open to believing this, but I need evidence before doing so.

Thank you! But I don't really want to visit a personal Google Doc. Can you paste them here on MDL in a "spoiler post" so we don't blow up the chat? If you wouldn't mind. I understand that might be too much to ask, but I appreciate the attempt at sharing links, anyway. :)

Can anyone provide links for the allegations against KSH that are not puff pieces from the internet? I couldn't find any. All I found were articles with zero links to sources. No evidence, they just summarized apparent evidence quoting others with no links to the original sources for any of the quotes or photos. I'd like to investigate more, but I won't rely on puff piece articles or social media posts as "evidence." And besides, almost anything can be manipulated today: photos, videos, texts, posts, etc. How are we to know what's provided as "evidence" has not been tampered with? This will take time to fully prove one way or the other, I think, so everything can be properly verified... allegations being true or not, the way people can use the internet to gain momentum for a way of thinking is truly something else 😳

Huh, interesting! But my question still kinda stands...😅

What does the poster have to do with the drama? 🤔 It looks like it's attached to the wrong synopsis. 😅

Thanks! 👍

So, wait, is this done airing, or still going? The dates on MDL say it has a few more weeks but people in the comments make it sound like they saw the whole thing...

Ah, good old mooc. Loves getting a rile out of people and is on a crusade to change the world one post on MDL at a time. 😆 (But I've got to admire his persistent pluck; but like all contrarians, the more annoyed people get with him, the more the insults and trash-talking fuel him to keep beating his drum 🤦‍♀️).

I think blocking him on the app is finally working and I no longer see his comments. It's great! 😉

Thanks for fixing the glitch, MDL! 👍

And the cast can't out-act a bad script and bad directing... 😬 The premise is already a tricky one to do well...

Concur 🙋‍♀️

They haven't been the most subtle, have they? 🤭

Any actual female teacher who wanted to not get slandered and/or keep her job would never DARE to interact with a teenage boy/student like this. Kids notice EVERYTHING and will talk about Every. Little. Thing. Nope, nope. But it's over-the-top fiction and we know (and she knows) he's not a teenage boy, so... we're rolling with it! 😅 In fact, if gossip didn't spread about them, I feel like that'd be the most unrealistic thing so far in this drama with many unrealistic things. 😉

I think so, too, about the uncle. But I can't think of who else the mole could be unless it's kind of obvious and won't be much of a surprise? 🤔

I will second My Perfect Stranger!

The beginning of Come and Hug was too dark for me so I never got past the first few episodes. The dad CREEPED me out.

After five years of waiting... it's now on Viki! Do I dare watch this, and risk the heartache? 🫣The two dramas I also really want on Viki are Six Flying Dragons and Eighteen Again. 😏 Still waiting...

Also why I've never seen Pachinko. 😅 There's a fine line between "serious dramas" and dramas that deal with serious issues/ideas but don't weigh down the viewer and make them feel heavy after watching. Reply 1988 or Stranger or I Hear Your Voice or Castaway Diva deal with serious/thought-provoking issues and can pack a punch, but don't make you feel burdened or overwhelmed or more depressed than before you watched them (unlike My Mister or Mr. Sunshine, for instance). Some people (not usually me) want "serious dramas," others (me, usually 😉) want dramas that deal with serious/thought-provoking themes which still feel hopeful and lighthearted and can be enjoyed without feeling overwhelmed by sadness. (And then sometimes I want pure fluff and fun. 😂)

I don't know which type of drama When Life Gives You Tangerines is, but I know enough to stay away until it's completely done airing before I even consider dipping my toes, haha.

I don't know, Weak Hero is much darker, but I don't know if that equals "deeper and more impactful." In what way is it "deeper"? It's certainly grittier and more serious, and it addressed a lot of concerning issues, but it didn't say anything super meaningful about them besides, "school/government systems suck," "some parents are terribly selfish," "friends should stick together when life gets hard," "people can be mean and cruel" and--"did we mention life is hard?" 😅 How is that particularly deep? Study Group says just as much if not more because it adds, "Learning and growing matters" and "people can change for the better if you believe in them, root for them and sacrifice for them." The acting was stellar in Weak Hero, but the story and egregious "serious" violence didn't do it for me. I prefer Study Group because it didn't take itself too seriously.
