Refreshing. Wow, this was so refreshing. I liked it a lot and I'm glad I watched this. The script was brilliant, I can't believe they were just having a conversation sending the viewer on a roller coaster. During the second story, I was thinking this went from realistic to unrealistic but then it went back to reality again. Such an interesting viewing experience, just from a dialogue. I don't think I ever watched a film that would hook me so much with so little. And I ended up laughing at myself how judgmental I am! Acting and camera also 10/10. Somehow, each story was relatable in some way.. something about being an adult, man. Sometimes I just want to stop random people and my colleagues and ask them, "wait, is this for real? Is this where we wanted to come? Sometimes I just want to cry, the sadness is too much, but then I don't have time for that, are you feeling the same?" Perhaps the dialogues in these stories are so satisfying because they take time to talk, honestly.
I personally can't know anything, I'm only bringing the official info. He was proved innocent, whether that is…
yes, "they weren't proven false" so i think it's very disrespectful to this second lady called Ms Song who may be an actual victim (of rape!) to write "numerous false sexual allegations" as you did. This is simply misleading and incomplete information.

You are talking about the first accuser, Miss Lee who was indeed sentenced to prison. The second accuser Miss Song that I am talking about was not sentenced to prison. Yoochun accused her of defamation but the court found her not guilty. You are completely ignoring this second case where the alleged victim's claims were not proven to be false.

you wrote that the allegations were false. that is not official info and it's misleading. in the case with Ms Song, it was not proven that her accusation is false. considering the gravity of the accusations i think you should have worded it a bit more clearly.
uhh, how do you know the accusations against yoochun were false? the victim was acquitted of the defamation charges. i need to point out that his side made an appeal to that decision arguing that "it's not possible for rape to occur in a small bathroom" .. while the bathroom was big enough for "consensual" sex. the lawsuits raised more ?? than provided answers. basically she's not lying about being raped by him but at the same time he's not guilty of rape. idk how about anyone else, but this has fishy written all over it and yoochun can stay in the dungeon, along with kim hyun toilet joong, as far as i'm concerned.
I have never talked to a transgender person, so it's been quite hard for me to wrap my head around this. I didn't even really want to admit it, because my opinion was really not ok. I knew that there surely is a way for me to accept that biological sex is not the same as what an individual identifies themselves with, but i didn't 'get' it. Until I watched this film that is.
At first, I was like "uh, just because you talk in a higher pitched voice and want to have boobs and are into make-up doesn't mean you _understand_ what it's like to be a woman. You won't have to deal with periods dude." But then there was this retrospective scene when the teenage Rinko/Rintaro tells her mom that she wants to have boobs like a girl. And her mom replies 'well of course. You're a girl after all.'
And then it dawned on me. I imagined myself as a mother, my son telling me he wished he had boobs or my daughter telling me she wished she had a penis. As a mom, I would totally answer the same thing. No questions asked. If my kid believes they're a girl, then they're a girl. If they believe they're a boy, they're a boy. And that's all that matters, really. I get it know. I believe them. Woman isn't defined by her ovaries and the same analogy goes for a man.
My best friend in high school was gay, and I've never thought it was anything weird, and thanks to this amazing film, I was able to broaden my perspective on transgender people as well. In addition, there are some comforting words about family life in general:
'Parents and children are still people. Sometimes they don't get along. But I don't think they hate each other. In fact, maybe they love each other so much, that it all backfires.'
excellent article. i very much agree. the korean version is more relatable. i could very much relate to how their families are basically... unhappy. i think lots of people don't like to admit it but it's actually very common?
I'm looking for that song too. The one that says "Stay with me..." in english (of course that's all I get because…
[warning: rant]
omg yes that's the one!!! well, typing in google 'stay with me' results in that goblin ost. my korean is shit but the lyrics i could catch resulted in park hyo shin's 'breath' which isn't the song either. ahh seriously. usually when i'm trying to find a song, i'd google the name of the drama in hangeul + 음악 (music) + episode(회) number and find a blog or something with list of the songs but now, nothing. maybe it's because it's still airing.
is anyone else also looking for the song that plays in ep.1 at the end before they kiss and once before when he's reading the memos she left around the apartment. it's not in the ost so i'm guessing it's an older song? gosh, i'm mildly pissed when i can't find music
