Is the word BAM!!! still used?

Reflected.

Yes, I know it is, but leaving the space inbetween the words had me snorting.

leafless7, It all started about 2 years or so when MDL let the negativity start and didn't take action. The comments 2, 3, and 4 years ago were much different than they are now. It was a pleasant place to discuss dramas, movies, actresses, and actors and no negativity was involved.

Along with the negativity, the SPAM comments started under the articles and weren't deleted promptly. As for the articles, the main contributor, MDL admin, mod, or whoever posted speculative articles. Scandals, rumors and unconfirmed drama offerings by actors and actresses were left standing, even while countless Users complained that it appeared MDL was ready to take a deep dive into the tabloid/rag media type of crap.

Once a small thing is allowed, it eventually snowballs until the site is dismantled. MDL's own Terms of Use states they can shut this site down without any warning to Users.

ps. It's sad to see others attacking you and cursing you for a simple question. You're right, every page I've visited in the last few days has been overrun with negativity.

Then you know NOTHING about America.

Uh, NO. EVERY drama Lee Kyung Young is cast in goes straight to my Not Interested List. No ifs, ands, or buts, or excuses about who else has been cast.

and He parts his hair funny too.

Unsubstantiated rumor. MDL can't sue an individual but they sure can delete your accts.

Yet here you are.

It highly probable it's bc this incident is on the criminal side, whereas a dating 'scandal' isn't criminal. Credible online media has been exceptionally careful in reporting this controversy with legally exempt wording. The same with MDL. No credible news media wants to be sued for libel/dafamation, and unless this goes to Court with a conviction, then they will have opened the door to a lawsuit if they reported anything but the basics of the controversy. That's why we see words such as 'alledged' and 'claims'. I haven't read any of the Dispatch to see if their wording was more direct. If it was blatant wording then I wouldn't be surprised they'd have a lawsuit filed against them.

Lord have mercy I seriously needed this laugh today. "And when did I shame your left boobie?"

Like this "안녕하세요. 저는 항상 당신을 응원하는 팬입니다. 요즘 힘든 시간을 보내고 있다고 들었어요. 저도 어려운 시간을 겪고 있어서 당신의 아픔이 더 마음에 와닿아요. 하지만 당신은 강하고, 많은 사람들에게 희망을 주는 존재니까 꼭 이겨낼 거라고 믿어요. 언제나 건강하고 행복하기를 바랍니다. 당신의 미소가 저에게 큰 힘이 되듯이, 저도 작은 응원이 되기를 바랍니다. 힘내세요! 사랑하고 존경합니다"?

I hope this will be a wake up call for those who can't distinquish between someone's screen presense and their real life self. A good example is Lee Je Hoon's character portrayals and his real like persona in Rented In Finland.

Oni, hmm, it appears you think critically. How refreshing. Answers are NEVER simple. What we see and hear is more complicated than what we given by the media. I know this bc I had my '15 minutes' of fame back in the day, and the newspapers were so full of disinformation it was pathetic. And I wasn't even in the papers for an alleged crime.

It didn't hit me until I read the Court will rule on Yoon's impeachment sometime before next Wednesday. In the manual (let's pretend there is one), every human that faces scandals, etc turns to page 1 where it says Distraction is the best strategy. Distract with another big story, the optimum way. Using a celebrity scandal, is preferred. Someone well known. I don't think it ironic that this has blown up at this precise time. Political figures are notorious for creating or employing diversions when there's too much heat around them. Whether the diversions are true or not is of no consequence.

I'm not saying he's innocent or guilty. I don't have all the facts (not rumors, speculation, etc) as stated from an investigation or by a Court of law ruling. At this point, I don't think it matters to the general public. The damage has been done. Nothing will 'prove' anything that they don't already believe. This is seen in the real lives of ordinary folks too. It's why rumors, etc are SO damaging. As they say "once a feather pillow is cut, it's impossible to gather them." Lies and truth.

I hate that way back in 2001 there wasn't a distain of creatures like Lee Kyung Young. If there had been we wouldn't still be seeing his vile face in practically every drama. Hopefully, since he and Yoon are/were such good friends that will have an affect on it's career.

I think all the outrage from the public is largely misdirected. It SHOULD'VE been towards the lack of laws in the country, the demand that laws BE made to hold men in the patriarchal society accountable, and demand stricter prison time for crimes when a victim will carry a lifetime of trauma. This is my short list. Women in these societies enable the men, imo, bc they have been molded to accept it. I hope this might be the catalyst that's needed for the society to change.

*under a spoiler for the length*

EDITED: Then I read your comment under this and WOW. I'd hold onto my britches before all the dust settles.

Yes, the true nature of an actor or actress that portrays a totally dif persona on screen impacts viewers greatly. I enjoy watching a drama or movie, and rarely do I rewatch unless it's an older saeguk. But when I learn of someone who directly triggers my childhood trauma, I refuse to watch ANYthing they're in from that time forward. And I don't make excuses for watching like many others do.

When this was released I didn't like either the ML or the FL. I watched for Oh Jung Se only by skipping every scene that he wasn't in. The actor is a chameleon. There's not a single role of his that isn't award worthy. With that said, if his name ever comes up and is associated with vileness then he too will go into a List I made for such.

This is the type of stuff I add to the Notes bc I certainly won't remember all the details years from now.

Yes, you are. LOL. The overwhelming majority of bots aren't civil in their comments such as only your first comment. How can someone be proud og being shameless? Someone without a shread of empathy or compassion, and who obviously lives a life that is so propped up by money that they don't need anything else.
