I agree with everything you said up until the end...even if her family did benefit somehow, unless she directly has done something wrong due to that benefit, why should she be punished. She had no choice over the family she was born into.

I imagine every person alive has some ancestor that has done something wrong that ended up benefitting their descendants - thus we are all guilty.

Can you provide any evidence she knew anything about his wrong doings? He died almost 70 years before she was born. Knowing his positive achievements are something that would come up during family discussions...his wrong doings...not so much.

Do you know every detail of the lives of your great grandparents?

She mentioned his positive achievements. Is there any evidence she knew anything about his pro-Japanese activities. He died almost 70 yrs before she was born and I imagine her great grandfather's negative actions were NOT something bragged about over family dinner. Do you know every detail about the life of your great grandparents?

So she should be punished because she was lucky enough to be born into a family in the medical profession and thus was likely upper-middle class? Her great grandfather (who died almost 70 years before she was born) was controversial but there is no evidence that her grandfather was involved in any of the abuses at the Sorokdo clinic during the 3 years he was there....and he died 14 years before she was born.

I doubt she was even aware of the controversies surrounding either of them and had only heard stories of how her family had a long medical background....which is what she mentioned in the interview.

I have no issue with people being held accountable for their own actions but they should not be canceled for the actions of others or for innocent (non-malicious) comments they make that are twisted out of context and intention.

I've really enjoyed her work in Our Sticky Love, Teach You a Lesson and Trauma Code - I really hope, for once, that her apology is accepted and she is allowed to continue doing great work making KDramas.

I am a little confused by all of the reviews and discussion threads calling this a great 'green flag' romance. You could easily take the scenes of them alone together thru ep8, add some different background music and turn this into a predation suspense thriller. During his pursuit, he is constantly invading her personal space even though she is clearly uncomfortable, when she first goes to visit him at his school and he begins making moves on her, she interrupts saying she better book a hotel room before they are gone – he counters with wanting her to stay with him and that '..nothing will happen..' (says every predator ever). This is on top of him being ill and her having her debut international tournament quickly coming up where getting sick at this time would be a disaster. And I found his constant stares more predatory than romantic...especially considering he is 6 years older than her. The writers almost seemed to realize this as they added numerous scenes where people vouched for what a good guy he is.

In the overall context of the series, I have no issue with their romance even though I found it a bit cringe...but I certainly would not hold it up as a prime example of Green Flag. If you want that, check out Yusen's pursuit of Xiguang in Shine On Me.

I had finished Shine On Me right before starting this one and much preferred it. The 'pursuit' in that was ideal where I found it rather cringe in this one (while what he does for Yin Guo is fine, his staring and the way he constantly invades her personal space while she is obviously very uncomfortable gave me much more of a predator vibe than one of romance).
