Korean drinking culture is normalized. Drinking is a very big part of the day-to-day work and social culture, it's expected unless you claim a religious reason (Muslims and some Christians) not to drink, and then you better not get caught. I will hinder your social interactions. I had a period where I couldn't drink for health reasons, I still went out, and people were respectful, but I could tell some were disappointed and slightly uncomfortable I wasn't able to participate with them. Korea is ultra-high stress. The suicide rate is one of the highest in the world. Birth and marriage rates are some of the lowest. Mental health treatment is still taboo. Drugs are extremely illegal. People can't find jobs, if they do they work long hours, and still struggle to pay bills. Drinking with others is seen as a cheap way to de-stress your emotions and release your pain. The truth is women do end up in those situations. It is not talked about a lot publically, Korea is seen as a safe country. Murder and theft are very low, but when it comes to sexual abuse/assult crimes, it is far more frequent than reported, way more than people imagine. A big part of the problem is a failure in the legal system and how laws are written. Alcohol plays a big part in many (definitely not all) of these cases. I have heard dozens of stories of ex-pats finding themselves in situations in Korea, and all they can do is go to the hospital and make a police report, there is no power to protect them, the person is usually not charged unless they have a history of abuse.
Not that I see this as healthy in any way, it's completely tragic. I do believe there will be a turning point in the future. There are many good people in Korea, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. It's not perfect, the truth is all nations and cultures have their strengths and weaknesses.
2016 - South Korea has an estimated 1.6 million alcoholics. The national population was less than 50 million people at that time. The highest number of alcoholics per capita globally. 2020- South Korea, 20% of drinkers are binge or excessive drinkers, and are responsible for 66% of all alcohol consumed.
Curious....What is the airing schedule exactly? I know 3 episodes are dropped on Chinese platforms on Thursday, when does Disney plus release new episodes?
kissasian, kisskh, dramacool are all pirate sites. They don't translate dramas they take the subs from paid sites like mango, youku, viki, tencent, kocowa and upload their pages.
Please spoiler the ending for me tomorrow.. thank you in advance 🥺🥺
Based on what I have read in the episode description and saw in the trailer, the last two episodes will focus on the Grand Tutor and the Princess's tragic love story and a happy eternal or in the future ending. There is no mention of the modern portion of the drama in either. I really hope it's not the case, there doesn't seem to be enough interesting content to fill 90 min.
Now, someone answer me .. why the extra two episodes.. 🤔
The preview has the grand tutor and the princesses ending. I don't know if that will be the only part that is included. I think that the FL might come to terms and meet with her bio dad. Maybe the sister will get married.
