Nonsuch

go away with your "women need to ", class hatred, and the rest

Please stop yelling

That is an absolutely appalling comment. Not only you are spewing self-righteous , arrogant, sanctimonious nonsense, you are showing a total lack of understanding of what issue is here. As they say it in k-dramas Are your even human?

Don't care what he feels: happy, sad, enraged. Feelings are his business. I care what he does in public sphere. And in public sphere this husband behaves like total trash.

To start with I am not your bro, your presumption is unwelcome. Secondly I am older than you by many years, so keep your tongue civil. Thirdly if your knowledge of marriage and human relationships comes from self help books, no wonder you are spewing such nonsense.

Making HIM pay? Is wife a property that was stolen? No? So basically the husband is a vindictive jerk bent on revenge. I find that disgusting. BTW what gives you the bases to talk about WHY the husband is doing it? Do you know him personally? Did he confined in you his reasons? If so then you are betraying confidence, if not you are talking out of your own set of values - which I for one find totally reprehensible.

Adultery used to be a crime until 2015, and it was panishable by a prison term. . Now they use something called "unchaste acts" as grounds for divorce. Sounds straight out of Joseon era to me. Korea apparently is one of the most difficult countries in the world for getting a divorce. You can't get out of a marriage even if you want to , except for a complicated set of conditions. No wonder people cheat!

LOL!

To my eyes the husband is the lowest kind of trash for running to court to sooth his bruised little ego. Nobody knows what really goes on in any marriage, marriages are private; and absolutely cheating is cheating. But how one deals with it is a measure of the person's character , To me this husband is trash.

Not the issue though.

Justified? wow.

What damages is this putz claiming? I mean, how pathetic does one need to get to take his little bruised "ego" to court for compensations?

Wait... sued for having an affair ? What century are we living in ? And what on god's green earth has his poor son to do with it? This is nuts.

What is a 'brainwave test ' that can show 'a red flag due to guilt' ? On a separate note, is Korean film and fan industry ever going to leave their talented people in peace? It is like a hell cycle: find talent, built them to the sky, tear them to pieces over nothing, force them to apologize , cancel them, or drive them to kill themselves... I mean is it EVER going to stop? It is worse that American studios in the 50ties.

Get a grip. Nobody has any obligation to adore Korean or any other culture. And you are literally spamming this tread with your diatribes .

What does it have to do with his death?

This is heartbreaking. Why oh why is Korea so vicious and hard on its talented people with some utterly insane standards ?

I agree - he was excellent in Nevertheless, the role was almost written f or him, and very good in Navirella. I think Korean actors have it hard with fans and the public judging them for their roles on some moral principle. It seems actors don't have much personal freedom and freedom of expression. I almost felt he did Forecasting Weather to 'clean' up his image of a seducer in Nevertheless. 😉

I think he was perfectly casted. But generally, I think he hasn't found his personal style of acting yet, and is not yet fluent at portraining very intense complex emotions. I think he would have been better with the Western production and direction. Western school of acting is about feeling the emotions not demonstrating them. Viewers are invited to feel along, not to observe and judge. The 'passions' are acted by going within, not spewing them out. Korean style seems to be half and half , with one half so way over the top it looks like a caricature, and the other, though more natural, is still MUCH more demonstrative than the Western acting tradition. I think SK is probably a very reserved person in life, so more internal school of acting might serve him better. Also even in the sea of Korean pretty boys his looks are so overwhelmingly sensual he is bound to be cast in roles where looks are more important than anything else. The camera in My Demon very often turns him into a model or a tablo . Like the screen on the balcony . The pose, the direct shot at his face from below - all of it is for a poster not a drama. So no matter how good an actor he may be it would not show.
It could make for a difficult transition when looks start to mature or fade, because his beauty is that of youth, like Adonis. 😉 I like him, and I wish him all possible luck in his career, so I hope he finds his way to more substantive dramatic work .

Believe is not required: it is called poetic suspension of disbelieve, without which most literature, movies and art don't work.
