Merp

the PTSD thing does make sense I like that he was trying to leave the whole time but also his character confuses me because he already ran into this situation by coming back to Gwangju with no clear plan

it's more of the directors fault as I find the writing to be really good but it always seems like when the love line comes into this in this time of darkness I just can't imagine an argument with a loved one being so tame and yet not tame at the same time? Like human adrenaline and anxiety don't often drive us closer to each other at first.

IDK I just think there's something missing in the conveying of episode 10 something the director should have gave dark lights, tears or something from HT. I wasn't a big fan of the 3 min heart to heart in the hospital.

Man HT I don't like his morals that much... I wish the director didn't add such long romance like pauses during a situation where their are guns involved. The scene with the ambulance really triggered me and HT arguing with her in the middle about not running to the crying child even though he was still putting them in a vulnerable position.

the US supported a leader who wasn't very democratic leading a coup to take over the government (the president seen here). The US government shut their mouth because well they didn't have much say in this coup and as long as the state stayed democratic there wasn't much of a concern.

Anyways the problem with this coup president is that he changed the constitution in a way that gave him almost absolute power (it's not something you can do in a normal established democracy very easily). But the students knew what was happening and this was the future they were going into. Being limited to freedom of speech during education was not good.

I was thinking what if Hee Tae's father has the same watch as Soo Ryun's father since they used to be close friends when they were children and what if the person in ep 1 is one of the young son's who are in the running training class

same here... like I don't know I would find it really unrealistic if this doesn't end in a tragedy...

BIG constantly had me shocked why I was still watching it at a point. The only saving grace at the time was the Viki live time comments which on Marry Him if You Dare were petty good.

I am on the same boat here I think it's foolish.

Marry Him If You Dare and BIG

Okay this was great I enjoyed it very much I am usually one to not like the actor interviews (mainly because during the shows premier they are just a "please support us everyone all of the cast has been so fun" but everyone here was having the best of fun with it.

In terms of graphic violence there is a lot of choking like Tunnel in here, a few suicide attempts but no successful ones that I remember with. The choking scenes and violence scenes are not as central to the plot in Voice where you actually have to watch the whole sequence to figure out whats going on. Blurring happens a lot in this. I would say if you can watch it with a friend/family member who can tell you when the scenes are over it will be good.

Let me know if you have follow up questions I myself want to work on a project or maybe work with kisskh to put in spots where we could add trigger warnings as you never really know with Korean dramas.

As someone who watched the first 2 episodes of The Smile has Left Your Eyes and didn't bother to watch after the 2nd episode. I have watched all of his dramas before this and if you like this you will like them as well. Squad 38 is super hard to find by the way. If you want to watch it PM me.

Your sunbae Queen (T-ara fan group) got you guys here. (added a 10/10 to balance)

I have no idea actually I don't know of any legal options. This is a TVN drama but when it had rights in America it was streamed on Viki. Then in 2015 around that time DramaFever got a large contract with CJ&M Entertainment to stream so they likely lost it from their library.

This is probably my favorite eye candy of Taec Yeon as well.
