Just which part was the side note? Ha ha. I do agree with you, though, about all of it.

I am quite sure that there others who agree with you. I do to a certain extent - or more correctly, I can see why you thought that - even if I myself have no problem with the actors. The " Yeah, it seems like you’re the only one who thinks that way" was a stock, throw-away, quasi-insult which signalled his or her annoyance just as much as the "completely lost it." Ignore it. You are entitled to your opinion.

I thought that that he might sacrifice himself, too. As you say - predictable.

'...or not very bright' is right.

You are right - no normal person would do it. So, if you are accepting that she could be mentally disabled or just has mental health issues (this is more likely) it makes your comment even worse. One can only hope that you are still young (as she seems to be) and will yet mature and become more tolerant of mentally disabled people in general. This does NOT mean that you cannot comment on her own very shallow, intolerant remarks about the actress.

Just how old are you? Just because you do not find her looks to be aesthetically pleasing, does not mean that she is ugly. Personally, I don't think that a shallow person such as yourself can be qualified to say that she can or can't act.

Retard? Where were you brought up to think that THAT word is acceptable usage?

I wonder why we did not get to see the death of his foster father or a reference to it, anyway, when it was discovered that he had taken his place. (I just finished part two today.)

I would love to be able to watch this but, because of the outrageous and childish behaviour of the FL, I dropped it like a hot cake. Does she ever improve? And at what episode? Thanks.

Thanks. I'll have a look when I have time.

If there is a LEGAL way for working class people to 'evade paying some of their taxes' (and this of course is referring to the aforementioned 'loopholes') - then fine. Go for it. I would, too. But generally, I believe in paying tax because it pays for free education and free medical care - amongst other things. (The amount that one has to pay is a separate issue and is not discussed here.)
However, if one knows that evading tax is actually illegal, one should not be doing it. Why? (Forgetting the moral/ethical issues) because, if one is supporting a family and one does not pay taxes and is punished, whether by a fine or a period of incarceration, one is leaving his / her family worse off - in more ways than one.

When a drama takes a long time to be subbed or shown on free sites, I forget to go back to check, so I have not actually watched it as I am busy catching up on other dramas.

It is now on KissKh with English subs

Is it so hard for you to understand that retired people can still work?

@Theresa: No, I am not wrong because I was not speaking specifically of one country. Anything stated about Chinese laws (in my response) was not my opinion but was taken from a website citing Chinese law. (If this is incorrect, it makes the author wrong and not I). Different countries have different laws in regard to this. I know that it is not always a crime - because otherwise, why would there be loopholes in the law (such as there is in the UK) for the rich to get away with paying fewer taxes. A 'loophole', though, is usually an unintended result of a law (or part of a law.)

Now that the 40 hour limit has been suspended, I wonder if we'll ever get to see the uncut version?

It is also on Kiss Kh (minus the sound cuts one tends to get on youtube).

Outraged? No, Dear. That is your assumption. Believing that people should pay their taxes is an opinion. Believing that people, especially the rich ones (and when I wrote that, I never once thought of Chinese / Korean celebrities but rich British or American upper classes / businessmen who are able to use off-shore tax havens because of loopholes in the law) is still just an opinion. * Why do you assume that that giving an opinion requires one to emote? And why do you assume - no, wrongly state - that I was attacking an an actor just because I am replying to a comment written about him in this space rather than 'Reddit'. ** These are all your misconceptions. Your thinking in this regard is flawed.
As for "insinuating", you, by referring to my colleague as an "imaginary friend" are attacking me because you are emoting so much. Isn't this what these zealous fans (that you don't like do? ) Or did you meant to say 'hypothetical'? When I reply to posts such as yours it is irrelevant to me who the subject of discussion is. I react to people like you who overgeneralise in their comments when accusing people or are nasty to others for no reason. You lump the innocent with the guilty just by using such words / terms as 'everyone', MDL viewers, etc. So, why should I not take umbrage when I am not one of them?

* I formed this opinion fifty years ago, long before the internet and long before I knew what a Kdram / Cdrama was, so how can it be because I don't like an actor?

** Why must I go on Reddit? Why must I even know what it is? Again, with the assumptions. You are now criticising me for something far less serious than not paying taxes. The irony!

No apologies needed. Just a thought, though. Looking at the way people are treated in general in both Korean and Chinese dramas (modern) one can clearly see real-life parallels.

Ok. Thank you
