Full Veracity

"i relate to the FL but shes also sometimes too cringe to the point that it makes sense she got bullied"
What a horrible thing to say. You see some justification in her getting bullied?
Nothing about her is cringe.
JK is sweet, innocent, cute, adorable and beautiful.

Since it's on Netflix, it will be all available at once right?
Just curious.
Do KD fans generally prefer the binge watch or 2ep a week format?

Wow. Now I'm really looking forward to this.
True Beauty is my #1 drama and Startup is #2 so having Suzy Bae in this is great. She was great in Startup.
However, I'm a kdrama newbie so I'm sure my list will change soon.

I'm going to listen to them all and let you know what I think.
I did not know a young Suzy Bae stars in While you were sleeping. I'm gonna enjoy this.
Thanks!

Interesting.
Vive la France!

I'm in Canada. I give True Beauty 10/10 as well.
America is at the center of world pop culture so they don't like to read subtitles. And yes, they do like more violent shows lol.
But kdramas are getting more popular there too. Doctor Slump entered the top 10 the last few 4 out of the last 5 days there and Badland Hunters is #6.

Because of the internet, we are witnessing rise of non english pop culture and a decrease in english pop culture. It's an interesting trend which I thought would never happen.

I'm glad to hear you are going the natural route too.
My goodness, it's like you're reading my mind lol.
It took me over a year to get off a certain SSRI. Antidepressants are just EVIL. It's immoral for doctors to be prescribing them knowing there are natural ways to alleviate it.
I'm so glad you're talking about Chinese meds because I'm gonna look into it more now. The fact is, the Chinese and Indians with their ayurvedic medicine have been practicing natural medicine for thousands of years.
I'm not totally against meds. In some cases, they are needed, but they should never be the first choice.
Drug companies care about making money., not our best interests. The internet provides us with massive amounts of information so we can make better choices.
Again, I wish I had never ever heard of SSRIs. They are evil.

It's funny that we're discussing the Startup controversy on True Beauty lol. I believe you've watched much more kds for than me, so I respect your opinion. But for me, I want to see the fairy tale like JK had with SH in True Beauty. I didn't feel NJH fit that role. He was the underdog. Actually, he was a loser! LOL. HJP was the super successful investor. Also, Dosan's success I find was all because of HJP. HJP always trying to help Dalmi and not going for the woman he loved was frustrating for me. Geez, Also, my prob with him was that if you're always working with your love interest, then where's the romance? I didn't find that romantic at all.

True Beauty? Now there was a romance.
Actually the best romance that I can recall.
I just felt Startup didn't have much of a romance for me. I have rewatched TB probably 4 times now, while I have rewatched Startup about twice.

Startup and True Beauty both have the best kdrama soundtracks I've ever heard, but Startup has the most beautiful single background music I have EVER heard:

Please let me know what you think of this.

Yep. Looks like my kind of drama.
Wow, I read on wikipedia it costed 60 billion won to make.
Really looking forward to it.

Because it's a fictional TV show.

It's on Youtube too.

It's a TV show.
She was never ugly.
Like with all great dramas, one has to suspend disbelief.

ITA. It's the best kdrama romance I've ever seen. Maybe the best I've seen period. The music, the beautiful and compelling FL, the acting, the support cast, the romance. It's just the best.
The rating is meaningless. I still haven't seen anything better.

Can I ask what country you are watching it? A poster said it's not available in the US, but I've read it is available in Latin America.

I find it bizarre too. People need to just accept reality. JK and SH are together.
However, maybe I'm being a hypocrite lol.
In Startup, I thought she ended up with the wrong man and I thought the love story wasn't very good, unlike True Beauty, the best love story I've ever seen.

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing that info. I thought it was on everywhere.
So that means the show has done that well even without certain major markets.
I think NF is putting it on only in certain regions right now.
Btw, you could see it on Kiss Asian or Drama Cool.
I'm surprised NF doesn't shut t hem down.

Dumpling lol.

I loved the first ep.
Jun ki crying about his meteorite had me laughing till me stomach hurt.
Great OST.

Some thoughts:
I enjoyed the first 2 eps. So far a 8/10 for me.
Great cinematography.
It reminds me of True Beauty in some ways. I would like to say that Moon Gayoung who has been acting since she was 10 is a better actress.
Korea really needs to be more realistic with showing workplace violence. Either the dramas are way off or it's got a real problem. I doubt bosses are actually allowed to physically assault subordinates. I realize it's a drama, but how accurate is this? Can anyone elaborate?
The FL looks so much like Suzy Bae. Let's not say which one's prettier since they're both beautiful.

I really want to say this about medication. I took an SSRI for anxiety and depression for a while years ago. It was the biggest mistake I ever made. I believe it changed my body and harmed my health even thought I've been off it many years. The first option should be self care. Not expensive, toxic, possibly dangerous medication. The problem is doctors and the system can't make money through self care. They make money with meds and surgeries. With the internet, you can do your own research about how dangerous or helpful a med is. This makes some doctors angry. I don't suggest angering your doctor, so try to be quiet and humble about it. But please do your research on meds before you take them - especially daily meds. Drug companies have made it policy to hide negative effects of their drugs.
No one cares about your health more than you, so please do your research first.

I never waste my time with haters.
I just block em lol.
