Good Grief

mdl rule no 1: people who rate first are the ones who don't like the drama, so don't be scared of the rating

She’s 34???? what

as long as she's still acting, that's enough

she is an incredible actress. Why is she not more famous?! Why doesn't she have more roles?! And I love her voice. I also love her diverse script choice! Playing so many different kind of roles and excelling at them

Literally, my reaction to reading the body swap part was “another one?” Especially since I JUST finished Moon River on Christmas. I’ll be watching anyway…

seems a little bit like Moon River

I really hate this kind of character setting....
Prince/ highest society rank ml and lowest society ranked fl.

soul switch trope is crap

This issue is complex not because the truth is unclear but because history is unevenly resolved, what is often framed as a matter of “sensitivity” is in reality, a conflict between collective historical trauma and personal memory, for many koreans, japanese colonial rule is not a closed chapter, questions surrounding comfort women, forced labor, cultural erasure, and contested historical narratives remain unresolved, both socially and diplomatically. Japan’s apologies are frequently viewed as inconsistent or insufficient, leaving the historical wound open rather than healed.

Labeling Korean reactions as “overly sensitive” misses the point. This response is not driven by emotional excess but by the absence of full historical recognition, conflict emerges when a personal narrative is projected into the public sphere without accounting for the unresolved suffering of others, in short, no korean is not “too sensitive” its historical wounds remain open and Fukushi Sota is not malicious but he underestimated the historical weight carried by his words.

Or its "I respect my grandfather, he sacrificed his morals, dignity, and life, just so our regime government doesn't massacre us as well" War crimes done by major powers isn't new. You think Any European country or America or China isn't guilty of mass genocide? I laugh at this ridiculousness. And prior to the 50's most men were conscripted to the military, ie by force. Especially in places like Japan, China, and Korea. I am not from Europe. Koreans being angry at the Japanese imperialism and government, I would say nothing. But generalizing the people I would never get behind. For the most part the people themselves are innocent. Except those in power and the wealthy, I judge the people themselves as individuals. And yes even the Nazi soldiers can be considered victims of their regime, like they had a choice. It's either fight and join the cause or mass execution. I still say F Nazis, but would I be angry if a Germans respects their military men? Nope, I get it. You can have both feelings. One does not negate the other.

I have no reason to think The United States, as a whole, feels guilty about anything. I grew up there, because of my dad's job. They're currently exploding random small boats in the ocean, and bombing Nigeria. They have not even come to terms with their own civil war, which is still raging under Donald Trump - whom they elected TWICE - in their profound ignorance.

Did you completely miss the part where I said the atrocities done by certain military men are a different matter? Personally cause I know a little history, most of the men in Japan were force service and forced compliance. Even the kamikaze men were force to do it otherwise their whole families would be executed or exiled or ostracized. Meanwhile there families were often starved cause no money and was worse when they actually died because military benefits from the decease was not that great. So Japanese people sympathizing with their own people does not equal uncountability and indifference to the atrocities. These feelings can both exist. And while we are on the topic, why do people act like Japan and Germany were the only ones that did human experiments and traffic women. Most of the time it's not even because of war, they do it without excuse. South Korea specifically had a huge trafficking problem with south asian women, not sure if it's still a thing cause I don't keep up with it. But what they did to those women was no worse then what Japan did to Korea. Again, when it comes to war, no one wins except the rich. And I mean that literally.

My problem with stuff like this is, while yes Koreans were victims of the war....so were the Japanese. People often forget that war is the decisions of the rich and government and not the people. While I am not being a Japanese apologist, their own people being respectful of the people sacrificed in war isn't crazy or disrespectful to Koreans. Just like how Koreans are forced to serve, so were the Japanese and resistance is futile. Now the atrocities done by certain military men during the war is a whole different matter though. While I don't think Korean reactions are overly sensitive I do think they are misguided to the wrong person. No one wins in war except the rich.

one of my objectives is to outlive the bastards who remember the stupid shit i said at 42 so that they wouldn't bring it up at my funeral.

At the definitely mature, ripe old age of 22, no less. Mortification is what I would generally feel if anyone asked about dumb $#¡t I said at 22 which I thankfully lived past and don’t remember (and I hope others don’t as well). It makes me glad I tend to avoid cameras/situations where I might be filmed for all to watch decades later!
