I have always thought the industry should not encourage such skinniness...looking at all those bony knees makes…
As or bony knees - all those mini skirts are ruined by bony knees that look like a glob... . The ugliest one was character Jo Young-chae in A Graceful Liar. She was a medical case of malnourished
To hide the boney knees, now they are using boots over the knees. But the thin legs look skinny and CROSSED in X, literally like a skeleton clunking under the mini skirt.... Ough ugly.
And for a man to look skinny and stooped over, his clothes hanging on him like rags on a coat hanger... ... blah Who likes that look... ???
Dailies and weekend dramas have amazing pretty legs and bodies and healthy looking people :) Also, older dramas :) Watch that :)
I think it's the lighting or maybe they edited the pictures, Park Gyu Young attended an event few weeks ago and…
Well good for you that you can schmooze with big names actors in real life but I cannot check any of that, I go only what I see on photos and screen. I am aware of photoshopping everyone on tv to look slimmer - announcers, etc - but the actors' height-weight ratio is posted online, so everyone can calculate their BMI and for many it is too low. and it looks it
I think some of the male actors are just finally losing their baby face looks like my youngest son did. He was…
Perhaps.. but there are many more who are just losing BMI to dangerously low and it is a fact that it is a GLOBAL PUSH FOR SUPER SKINNY in the entertainment industry. Search online :)
I have always thought the industry should not encourage such skinniness...looking at all those bony knees makes…
Yeah Park Min Young has BMI of 13 or less, and the minimum health standard is BMI of 18.5. I have dropped all her dramas recently bc of super skinny and bc plastic surgery and botox froze the facial muscles I am not familiar with the other one.
With friends like Hwal Seong, who needs enemies? 😹
As HS's doings are uncovered more and more, it is clear he always has been a professional con artist criminal . So a good question is - how did those two become such good friends? That tells a lot about the ML...
Besides the recommendations listed here (I've already watched 3 of them), does anyone know of anything similar…
Walking on Thin Ice is a realistic story and a nerve wrecking thriller about ordinary ppl who WILLINGLY decide to enter the deep crime world and hurt others to make money. WOTI is now a classic masterpiece that gets recommended for all crime / melo / thriller dramas :) It was not so popular while it was airing, as the gray masses were too busy watching idols fly around in chiffon robes gazing at each others' eyes.
The Dream Life of Mr Kim is a deep psychological drama masterpiece, a healing and realistic story about office workers destroyed by corporate politics - and one barely surviving. Yeah now it gets recommended to most other new dramas :) It was not so popular while it was airing, as the gray masses were too busy watching idols fly around in chiffon robes gazing at each others' eyes.
I havent seen the other recoms. But imo if you are into kdramas, you have to watch WOTI and TDLOMK as two classics
All of these dramas are just variants on Squid Game season 1. (Seasons 2 and 3 are trash), Season 1 is a "molotov coctail thrown to expose exploitation by elites" as one reviewers so well described it. Imo they are also a molotov coctails thrown to expose how the flaws and dumbness of ordinary people lead them to be pions and exploited by the elites. Just like in MCD, the ML is going with the RichGirl, RichFriend, councilman Nam, and Real Capital... So if you want to watch the most violent deep-source version of MCD, then watch Squid Games season 1.
Cheating professor - give me at least 5 eps for family to torture him - no redemption for him!!
someone had the idea that SR could wake up and be jealous bc JH liked JM. That's a possibility too. But it will be easy to resolve since JH loves SR's violin music :) and SR sent JM as herself to take down HY. Also, realSR was a victim of HY trying to kill JM, and JM saved SR from death, and then HY kidnapped SH and tried to kill JM again and JM and BH saved SH and JM, so.... SR has to be grateful to JM for saving her life, and cannot possibly hold too much grudge against JM ---- OR, if SR WAKES UP PERMANENTLY DISABLED, SR could hold a grudge against JM
Park hyung sik please be selective about your works
Seems like there are no good scripts :( Seems like it is a mad rush to produce something fast and make money, and anything goes.... and the audience doesn't care... bc Hwood audience switched to asian dramas, BUT they still have that bad taste they got used to, so ... asian dramas are turning into trash too, and that is ok for cdramas which always were sub par, but for kdramas that is death, going from creative original dramas to blah blah nonsense that appeases the former Hwood watchers. This is not good for sure.
I just watched 2022 short drama with PHS called Soundrack #1. Wow what a change! In 2022, he looked like a very attractive MAN - bulky shoulders, legs, arms, face, head, of a MAN, a beautiful athletic MAN full of energy. He looked like someone who has a life, physical activity, who is healthy and vibrant.
And look at the 2026 - so gaunt ... Like everything is just dimmed down... And the lady too... both of them look like one strong wind would just blow them away, like they have been starving for a long time, like they live in some artificial cage. Seems like they sold their life and their health for .. exactly what? money? fame?
I am not sure why the global industry is pushing for skeleton looking super skinny actors, but I assure you that they are NOT attractive and I am refusing to watch anything with super skinny people. i want to see GOOD HEALTH AND VIBRANCY on screen, not some pale anorexic couch potato. ML in Practical Guide to Love also looked like a skeleton, his shirt and pants hanging, and he was so slow and lifeless. .. FL in Our Universe, of course Siren's Kiss, etc are all toooo skinny and tired lifeless.
I dropped practically all new dramas a lot bc it is annoying to watch people who look like they live in a concentration camp and cannot eat.
I started watching dailies bc that's where REAL looking people of all ages are.
Hello? Is this all true, or am I hallucinating? The She-Devil was arrested, and Okay was going to tell the old…
there is lots left to do ... SR has to recover and JM has to tell the Chairman... What will SR and Chairman do... ??? JM has to tell BH that Jun Ho is adopted... what will BH do? JM and BH have to tell Jun Ho about SR in coma... Cheated wife and JH will learn about the Cheating professor and that BH did not tell them - what will they do... ? ... That whole family is going down in flames...
Also, figure out all HY's crimes... then.... catch Lapdog... resolve professor's story and his wife and family story, Jun Ho story, Seo Rim's recovery and story, Chairman story, GoldDiggers story , Suk Hee's story.... figure out what to do with JM as Chairman's granddaughter... . There could be further problems... e.g. finding Lapdog and/or Lapdog doing something nasty... HY's helpers causing problems.. Professor causing problems, his wife causing problems. Jun Ho causing problems ...
JH WILL for sure cause problems, this is huge for him - he got and lost a mom, he got and lost SR, SR was fake, his adoptive family was fake and Dad cheated... so his adoptive mom needs help, his bio mom is in jail, SR is in coma, and what he thought was SR is BH's wife!!!!! Poor Jun Ho!!!! ... Then... Jun Ho and Seo Rim love story - HOW will he quit JM and ralize he loves the real SR??? What if SR wakes up with amnesia? ..... Or not... but explodes bc of Jun Ho's crush on JM ??? .... ...ok let's say JH and SR are good.... then getting him into the family for real... will Chairman accept the son of the woman who almost killed his twins.. ? etc etc etc etc
We are NOT nearly done yet until everything gets ironed out and settled
On top of the existing issues: What if JunHo's dad shows up, or twin's dad shows up... ? Also, i keep assuming in hope that SR wakes up without too many problems, maybe some temporary issues that get healed fast. BUT WHAT IF SR is permanently amnensic or somehow permanently mentally and/or physically disabled?
I thought that police was bribed and would just cover up for HY, and I was upset that BH was taking evidence to the police. Then I realized - the police would be loyal to Chairman, not to CEO Chae.... So PERHAPS the police first consultd the Chairman if they should arrest or not...?.. Was BH's lawyer clout enough to arrest HY... ???? ...
I first thought that Chairman would NOT allow arresting HY, , to keep the stock from tanking, like he covered the blackmailing.... But a murder is a big thing ... SO ... WHO ALLOWED A TOP EXECUTIVE FROM A CHAEBOL FAMILY TO BE JAILED?
Romance between policeman and nurse is amazing :) and the policeman boss letting them is incredibly funny. Policeman boss is a GREAT comedian. He is really spicing up the drama.
Uncle actor is amazing in his love-struck role, his acting is so on track and it is nice to see the actor really shine in expressing the character - all of it - jeealousy, worry, longing, happiness, brave confession, brave and warm interference, etc. The script was great for helping Ju Ho with his date, I love how he left the money and the advice :) he is a really good father. That actor REALLY made the Uncle role totally schine and stand out. ML actor is good at expressing too, but he is ... simpler... :) less complex.... Bucket is endearing and hilarious. Step mom is ... a tough cookie to break.. still... sneaky bitter backstabber.. I would say the only actor who could improve is the colleague at work, the male friend, Ji Huyk is the name? Relax buddy and act naturally. FL script lickilu didnt leave her dumb for too long, I am glad she got brave enough.
I made such a mistake thinking that FL's brother liked Veronica. I am glad he doesnt :) bc EB turned out to be a really generous and lovely person. They will be happy forever i think that Grandpa loves the Grandma and I suspect she was actually the one he wanted to marry initially
"'If you can't forgive me, let's divorce'—this is a classic case of adding insult to injury. There isn't…
Well did you see how he sold her off in an instant, without any hesitation, in Sat episode? He keeps surprising me... the all night drinking with a "hostess woman" was also ... a surprise... Wow ... what a couple...
Simply don’t understand how he can be so forgiving towards his wife who slept with his friend
Well nothing is at it seems... He keeps scolding her and nagging about it... Did you see how he sold off his wife in this Sat episode? wthout even blinking once
I need Yi Gyeong and Da Rae to be safe...also who is rating this drama?? It's too low
YG has turned into her mother... so perhaps no way back for her.. And DR is sooooo frikin dumb naive... apology??? DR is not keeping herself safe ...so this is a mess Yeah this is 9.5 drama imo. If they manage to end it properly, maybe even 10 star drama

Interestingly, the stats on the drama show that the majority of the audience here are from 35-44 yrs old.
