I'm not saying they are but I thnik that's what the real Sae On told the fake one. He called his father a sinner,…
We know who HJ dad is, we know he has dementia and is in the hospital. Unni is not an uncommon term to use wether or not you're related, especially when you're really close (or a psycho killer pretending to be close). As for Sae On dad being a sinner, I think that the killer told him that he was the one who ordered the hit resulting in the accident that condemned Hee Jo to stay silent for years.
why is no one talking about how creepy the health teacher is with the sick student
I think he's her father. She was shown going to the nurse office before, and from the way they looked at each other it was clear they share some history.
Anyeonghaseong everyone (I hope I spelt that right). I heard this show has super abilities but the trailer is…
Not sure if they're gonna have super abilities in the sens of everyone getting a superpower. So far, we've seen the mother doing brain hacking, but it's presented more as something of an extremely enhanced interrogation technique. They're basically a family of super soldiers.
Have you read the webtoon, and the chapter in question ?It doesn't "confront/adress" any issues, in this case…
Clearly you haven't read the chapter in question.
" A bully who considers himself the only "pure Korean" in the school, harasses a Korean-Ethiopian student as a "half-blood." Other students join in with racist comments and insults. The Korean-Ethiopian retaliates by harassing the Korean bully with derogatory, insulting, racially-based comments and actions. "
It's the opposite of what's depicted in the webtoon. The "half-blood" is the bully, not the other way around. Students don't join in racist comments. If things were depicted as you say, i wouldn't have any problems with it. Racism exist, and you can show it, even in the crudest way. I agree with that. In the "controversial" chapter we see a "half-blood" depicted as bullying a student, who's presented as suffering from being the only "pure-blooded" korean in his hometown. From my own experiences living in Korea, and the fact that foreigners are about 3% of the korean population, that's completely removed from the reality.
@fortunn that's my whole point, what's shown in this chapter doesn't happen in real life in korea.
I think what they meant was "why would they air a documentary and a recap on these dates ? Is there something big on another network that they don't want the drama to compete with ?"
What would Korean entertainment media write about without all these manufactured "controversies" that amount to…
Have you read the webtoon, and the chapter in question ? It doesn't "confront/adress" any issues, in this case racism. It uses racist stereotypes (the way the mixed race character is drawn, his exaggerated facial features, the monkeys...) to depict a situation that does not exist. Here, the fact that "pure-blooded" koreans are constantly harrassed by the "halfies". I have no problems with racial slurs or racist situations being depicted, or with the fact that the black guy is depicted as a villain, as long as there is a point to it. The only point here is to get a laugh. And when you use racial slurs to get a laugh, well, that's racism.
They're both single right now, and so far we haven't seen much of their dating history between their time as high schoolers and the time of their reunion.
To me it felt sluggish in the beginning. The initial cases are not very interesting, besides being tearjerkers.…
Nobody Knows is one of my favourite Korean thriller dramas, with Beyond evil being a strong contender. Good detective, Taxi Driver, Awaken, My Name, The lie within... Maybe there's one you haven't seen yet, but I also suffer from K Drama burnout and haven't seen something in these genres that's really satisfying in a while.
