LOL, true. Makes me wonder if there's a long list of Genres and Tags they have in a porfolio where they check off what roles they will take, those they have taken, and those they refuse to take that their agencies hand out. Right now, I'm disgusted with the whole entertainment industry from the runners to the producers to the CEO's of the agencies. I seriously thought yest to going back to reading books again, specifically John Grisham's.

Wrong wording. MDL HAS transformed from a platform, for lovers of Asian dramas and movies to discuss them, into a tabloid.

Sounds more like justifying it not being in the news. I'd seriously question why my city would not allow freedom of the press to report such incidences.

I agree, he chose the role, unless I'm mistaken. Are they forced/required to take roles against their will? If not, then wouldn't it be easy to turn down an offer for certain roles? I would hope many wouldn't see a role such as this and say "Hey, this will help elevate ny career.".

Cnedx1, a Google search confirms there was no mention anywhere for a NJ knife attack (EDIT: New York JFK airport) by a Korean Chinese with the victim being a Korean man, nor in any NJ newspapers (EDIT: or NY newspapers) was there a mention. News outlets in the USA are insanely quick to post articles on every little incidence, and still there wasn't anything on social media about this either. Being stabbed 9X in the neck is news worthy. In my state, even a short article would surfice and/or that the case was turned over to the FBI.

Repeatedly taking this to the court of public opinion, and aided by an attorney that apparently isn't reputable, (and now playing said evidence in a conference) alludes to the family's welfare violations that they've accused of him. I neither support KSH nor the family. ALL parties violated the trust and protection of KSR, and it's ongoing. All anyone is doing now is exhausting citizens with hearing about this. Key board vigilantes here on MDL and other lesser known sites don't want to see justice. They just want to get their frustrations out. I suggest the KSH profile page be closed temporarily, but it does drive Users to MDL though, doesn't it.

None. It's hard to reconcile the portrayal of a character in a drama who enables such, with the actor who accepted the role knowing their character was going to be an enabler. I hope what I said made sense. There's a movie that I recently gave an exceptionally low score to, then dropped bc of the main male lead's sexual assault of his son (from his youth to 13 years of age. Even though I shouldn't conflate the actor with the role, I more than wonder about actors who would take on the most morally vile characteristics of who they portray. Yes, it feels voyeuristic and enabling while watching. I can't for personal reasons that have lifelong trauma attached.

What about the other actors? Feel the same way about them?

No, it isn't simple minded to want MDL to be better than those other sites. Bot behavior from me? Bot behavior doesn't address the comment, in this case when I talked about the problem with the article. Bot behavior turns to throwing what the Bot does and says ONTO others (projecting).

Use your last Block on my, please, so you aren't able to try and antagonize further. I've no time to waste on others who are wallowing in the depths.

Apparently you've no idea that the problem with this type of 'article' isn't about the actress per se. Users can find this type of "work" on other sites that spread gossip, rumors, scandals, and controversies for a living/profit when they want to satisfy their urges with harmful or disturbing feed-the-beast articles. The majority of MDL Users don't want MDL falling into the same quagmire. Are you and the other 2 who Liked your comment her alt accounts?

She and lo_ve are besties in that regard.

"When illness becomes a tool for generating clicks, and rural communities are reduced to mere backdrops, it signals a pressing need for a reset of values across the field."

Oh, the irony🤣🤣🤣

When articles utilize controversies, rumors, and scandals for generating clicks, and MDL's quality is diminished by the reduction in real informational articles, which we read in Editorials, it signals a pressing need for a reset of VALUES across the field.

It's laughable that you and your 16 other alternative egos Liked this article.

I'm proud of the MDL Users who have left a comment calling out the shameful smut that has been perpetrated in MDL articles by no less than 2 so-called writers. For months and months, some of us have tried for MDL to adhere to their TOS as a drama and movie discussion site to no avail. Hopefully this article, as disgusting as it is, will have an affect of returning to real informational articles.

All to retain or gain new subscribers. All for profits. Build the marketing surrounding a drama slowly to create hype, limit release of episodes, divide a drama into 2 parts, Crumbs, as you call them, is right!!!

An aside, anyone with a Netflix sub should expect higher prices on their plan, with my country's president saying he'd impose 100% tariffs on films produced in other countries. Stocks fell immediately for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney_, etc.

Why do I mention this? Bc Netflix strategizes to maxiimize profits by producing works in other countries versus productions solely USA based (due to them being much more expensive). Even IF the tariff isn't imposed, Netflix will use it as an excuse to raise their sub prices.

Is it possible for MDL to include the Internet Archives platform to the services? It's free and has a plethora of movies and dramas, 'Yunbogi's Diary is one.

🎯🎯🎯
EDIT: Then they sabotage them by not having it available on any streaming platform.

"I will probably forget about it very quickly and I would not recommend it." I'm sitting here shaking my head for how insanely accurate your last sentence is. Every time somethimg crosses the Feeds that I know I've watched, I check to see what I rated it. Lovers of the Red Sky has had me wondering for 2 days why I rated it a 4.5, even after reading the synopsis, and I hadn't left anything in the Notes indicating why either. So, I checked the profile and read your review and dayam did all those gastly bits come back quickly. Thank you for reminding me why I probably forgot about it very quickly, too.

OP's comments must have been deleted by an Admin or Mod. Good.

Sounds like a perfect writer for SHK. Not so much for LHN or CSW.

For sure, and leaves out the misunderstandings, temp breakups, etc. Give me chemistry all day long.

Changwon is in South Gyeongsang Province, approx 22 miles west, which Busan was a part of until 1963 when it broke away to govern its own independence. I sorta kindof hope part of it will be in Busan.

"I don't want it to be one those dramas were viewers want two characters to be get together and never do." Then lower your expectations from the onset. There isn't a Romance Genre or Tag. If you go into every drama expecting romance and then there is none, then that's on you. Rethink your "I'm sure most people". With the ages of the cast, a great story, plots, etc would be more reasonable expectations, especially for a 22 Ep drama.

Why are you apologizing? There's no need to appease the actress's drool team by making YOUR opinion less important. And the word "Maybe" does the same.

My opinion is she can't act. It's like she restricts herself so she doesn't appear less than what her endorsements would require...a pretty face. She carries the same expression, or lack thereof, in every drama. She can deliver the lines. Lines are combined with expressions to give great performances when not restrained, but it's almost as if she has disciplined herself to show the world only one side of herself, the endorsement ready face. The blank stare, or gaze as it's written in articles, is a permanent feature when one doesn't want to look ugly on camera by showing real emotions. She absolutely has no depth. It's all just surface level. She has the face and that's what's expected of her. Sadly, I don't think she's reached the maturity to finally not give a care what everyone thinks of her and let's it all out in her roles. Lee Ha Nee has married and has (almost) 2 children and has a beautiful face, yet she doesn't hold back in her acting.

EDIT: The last known role of SHK's where she expressed real emotions was in TLCHJY (2007).
