If not Kisskh.co, try Dailymotion or Bilibili. But on the last two, if you are not familiar, it depends on how long ago the episodes were uploaded.

Not at all. I am not justifying "weird" behaviour. As a retired teacher, I am justifying the need for education and knowledge as well as logic and good grammar. If he has broken the law; say so. Don't call him what he is not - it is libellous. Whether it is right or wrong (depending on the law of the country), it is not "weird" to have a relationship with a nineteen year old female - (if she WAS 19 at the time.) Nor does that make him a paedophile.

Yes they are. I, too, have stopped watching Youtube.

Why do you call him a paedo? A paedophile is not someone who is attracted to or has has sex with a person who has a sexually mature body. The closest word in meaning to one who is attracted to young females with sexually mature bodies is 'ephebophile' but even that emphasizes a persistent preference for this age group (15-19 years of age) rather than a one-time attraction to a specific individual. By labelling this man as a paedophile you are actually accusing him of being attracted to or sleeping with young children. P.S. One can not biologically get a prepubescent girl pregnant!

I am not sure if you understood me, Dear. I was saying that you apologised to someone else but I read all of your comments and there was nothing (that I saw) that you needed to apologise for. Okay?

Another person who doesn't know what paedophile means. It is not a man (or woman) who is attracted to or sleeps with a minor who has a sexually mature body. Paedophiles are only turned on by pre-pubescent children; that is, not sexually mature.

Actually, when people label men as paedophiles ( in this case, for example) they are actually using the term wrongly. These men are not usually paedophiles at all. A paedophile is a man or a woman who is attracted to prepubescent children Most girls of 17/18 have sexually mature bodies - even if their mental and emotional age belies this fact - hence the need for a law which protects minors. Men who sleep with minors are guilty of a crime whether legal or moral but that is not the same as paedophila.

I see. Thank you for your reply. (I just wondered if it were a typo - sorry!) Also it was hard to tell whether you were supporting the actor or the young woman concerned which can alter the whole meaning of your comment.

Actually, Kayden, it is healthy to be neutral if you don't have enough information to make an unbiased jugement but it is not healthy to apologise for upsetting someone if your own comments only reflected your neutral stance but were not rude.

@ Kdramachic. I am a tad confused. Do do you really hope so (from a generous / morally superior point of view) or was this supposed to say " I hope (that) you DON'T have people in your corner. " ? If they had people in their corner, and this happened to them, they would not learn a lesson from it, IMO.

Thanks. I might. But I asked because there are at least two dramas that I know of where the ML died in real life - killed off by the emperor - but the drama finished before it happens so many viewers were not aware.

Is this drama one of those which has a sad ending or is it like a couple that end before the historical character in real life dies? I have never seen it but thought that I might have a look at it.

Thank you for explaining your stance towards the actor. As I said, if it is that serious, one of your leaders might be able to contact the studios / platform / whomever on your behalf.

Thanks. I may look at a later episode, to see if the FL has changed, and if she has, I'll give it a go.

So that was a prayer mat on the table? I didn't think that far - and to be honest, it is not that clear at all and the view, when in the frame, is always oblique. And, being a Westerner, it was not something that I, and many, many like me, would spot / take note of - But, to be honest, I am not sure that the workers in the prop department would recognise it either. That is, I don't think that they deliberately disrespected this, what is to you, a sacred image. But if you feel that strongly contact the studios. If it is as bad as you say, then some of your leaders can take up the complaint for you. I am not sure why you would even mention 'the actor' (I assume you mean the male lead) in one of your posts (re boycotting) as it would be nothing to do with him.

Thanks. I started to watch it but dropped it. I couldn't stand the female lead incessantly throwing herself at the ML. I may give it another go at some stage - if I can get past the first few episodes.

Jiejie: I understand why you made this comment and agree with to it to a certain degree but, in highlighting a material truth, you have overlooked the force of symbolic power. The object itself may not have inherent force but the deeper reality is that people behave as if it does, and that behaviour has consequences. As certain comments have been deleted, I can not see what took place between you but, whatever your own religious beliefs, or lack thereof, it seems that you have told this person (whether you intended it or not) that they should ignore a facet of their own religion. Again, from a psychological standpoint, that may be reasonable in your (and my) opinion, but the other person may see it as an attack on their religion - because said symbolism is too potent.

Please reply to my other comment so that I can comment (or not) on this post.

I have just watched from 18-26 minutes and could not see anything which resembled the Kaaba - no 'cube' of any kind. The only thing that you could be referring to is the 'mat' on the table. Unfortunately, it is not detailed enough to show anything other than a vaguely eastern scene not unlike a European town square for me to identify it. Please elaborate.

Oddly enough, I have never liked him in any of the dramas he has been in (I don't actively dislike him but I don't like him, either.) but this is the first time that I didn't get that, "Oh, is he in it?" feeling. But you are right. He is boring here - but he is meant to be. No emotions, and all that. He would do Spock proud. (My favourite Vulcan, for those who don't get the reference.)
