What’s wrong with casting? Auntie Im who is supposed to be way older than Gu Tae su looks way younger than him…
Personally, I don't have an issue with their age. For starters, it's a drama, I like the FL, she's a really good actress. Auntie Im's actress is a really good actress too but the whole flashback and it showing that she still looks the same after 20 years, was a bit of a "say what?" moment but you could just chalk it up to her having a pretty good Shamanistic powers that could possibly make her maintain her youth, also even thought she's 28 years old, she could easily pass off as someone older.
Is this show getting review-bombed on MDL? I've only heard that it is "good/great/epic", I want to watch it but apparently Disney Plus on the UK does not have it. I rather it come to one of the streaming services I use or I'm gonna have to get via nefarious means.
I started this show recently and I'm up to episode 5 at the moment, the red herring is Chatterbox is the Gopuri serial killer. The actor playing Chatterbox had a similar role in another drama I watched, I think it was Abyss, where he seems like unassuming nice guy but is actually the killer.
Personally, I rather the serial killer be someone else but nothing is confirmed thus far but then again I'm 5 episodes behind.
Finished it recently and the series on a whole is decent, it's not jaw-droppingly amazing.
It really isn't that scary either, the storyline is rather generic, bland villain. Overall, it's not particularly unique and I mainly watched this because I heard from someone or somewhere that this was really good. Not to bash this but "8.4" on MDL used to mean top-notch entertainment, for example "Save Me" is 8.6 on MDL, which I consider really really low as I gave it a 10/10, everything about that show was brilliant from the storyline to the casting, the series kept me on the edge of the seat the entire time.
Both "Hello, Monster" and "Pinocchio" are 8.4 on MDL and I personally don't think "Sell Your Haunted House" even reaches their pedigree. I'm just confused as to why this got a high rating and other well-deserved shows have been reviewed bombed by "stans", it makes MDL a bit of a nightmare when you want to decide on watching a show.
Overall, I would give this show a solid 8 to 8.5/10.
It was blackface though, the actual actor looks nothing like that including his skin tone, and even aside from…
Reading that, I know you haven't watched this show if any at all, probably saw an article and decided to join the bandwagon.
" Even if they didn't darken his skin, everything else about him was being portrayed as a black person and he was acting exactly like blackface actors used to "
It is his natural skin tone and he doesn't act like a "black person" in the show.
It is obviously clear that you did not even bother to check the link I provided.

Dreadlocks is often deemed as "African-American only", simply not true. That hairstyle has multiple historical roots across Asia, such as Jata praticed in Hinduism (usually by priests; FYI the oldest religion that is practiced all over the world).

You're literal defence is me trolling, I saw three comments about "this is blackface" and called them out for being downright racist.
Blackface is when you put make up on your skin to make yourself look darker deliberately to mock black people.
The actor portraying Reggae Boy's Author is Eum Moon Suk, is an actor with a naturally darker complexion when compared to the main lead. He literally has the same skin tone complexion in Fiery Priest, where he just plays a comical gangster. It is his natural skin complexion.
You're telling me to look at the definition of blackface when you clearly do know not what it is. Just taking a look at the reddit you will see 2 sides, the one side that is clinging onto outrage and making stretches in their argument and then people of colour actually calling them out that what you are saying is literal bullshit.
All asians have multiple skin tones, not all Korean are pale skinned, you have many darker skinned ones such as Eum Moon Suk.
I'm genuinely wondering if Eum Moon Suk knew about the "blackface" outrage, imagine being called a racist and saying he's doing blackface when it is his natural skin tone.
I had to get this off my chest, what blackface??? If you're referring to the Reggae Boy author, that just means…
I also found it highly offensive when you said "racism is only a problem if death is involved. Lol?", I have lost family due to racism. So when I saw that, it hurt because it felt you were laughing at the ones who died.

You are representing your opinions as facts with "its an extremely common stereotype". Black ppl not getting accepted into families of other races is true for all the races, brown parents want their kids to marry someone brown in the future, etc. For example, the parent might say to the kid, they won't be able to cook a curry if you marry someone that is not of the same ethnicity, which is BS but parents love saying that.
A few articles here and there and comical outrage is not views of the majority, that is a clear fact if you go by twitter posts/articles compared to total viewership.
Regardless, there is no point going forward in this conversation as you are steadfast in your beliefs.

Now you are just putting words in my mouth.
All I can see is someone looking at something and vehemently stating there is something wrong here, it must be burned down.
You have consistently stated in your previous paragraphs in that "black people" have been stereotypically viewed as "dirty" and that their hair is that as well is what you are saying. I have never fathomed that like ever, I don't know of this stereotype and I was born and raised in London, England. Perhaps were you come from that is a stereotype that people associate with black people, fair enough but you are literally telling me to understand your logic and definitely a stereotype that should be dissociated with black people.
For me the Reggae Boy author, I looked at him as a frugal man who was trying to follow his dream and heart. He didn't shower as often hence the flies. As I have stated before, I never did this "Reggae Boy author = Stereotypical Black Male", whereas I think you have.
