This is currently the best Kshow i've watched so far. It's so fun to watch, i can't help but giggle. Jessi feels so genuine and real, i love her unfiltered reactions, she has that "comfortable at home" feel. I love the short format and the "mischievous but authentic" concept so i watch random episodes with my fav guests ♥
This is a quite interesting list. All these dramas are popular for being a shade darker than usual.
I regret dropping SFH, i really wasn't in the mood for such a depressing slow-burn huis-clos with creeps kind of story. Thinking abt picking it up again some day.. I would have loved to see "Beyond Evil" top the list as no. 1 and "Signal" being mentioned though.
Hopefully the plot would be great or else i'd be distracted by Eun Woo's face until the movie ends... Nice seeing LJS trying different type of characters now.. (his role doesn't have the word "genuis smtg" in it) xD
:/ who did you want to win? just curious. EDIT: don't take it the wrong way please
Was my comment written in chinese? haha it's ok..
Speaking of Chinese, i would have loved to see "Better Days" win, not as "foreign" movie but simply in the movie category. Didn't care much abt the rest tbh. (Steven Yeun/Riz Ahmed winning would've been nice tho) Anyways, i'm happy Koreans (or any other minority) are being finally recognized (even though it seems like it's due to political reasons) not cuz these organisations genuinely value their talent.
Define ''forced diversity''. Foreigners winning something once in their lifetime is not ''forced''.
I agree. It deserves all the recognition it can get. Hopefully more diverse movies from all countries will get all the attention they deserve. ♥
But all the games in town that you're referring too are ruled by the overwhelming while geezers majority (in front and behind the scenes) but they are being reformed (politically) as we speak.. I mean the Emmys, the Golden Globes, (even the Grammys lol) are a joke. All those award shows are biased. It's not solely some insulated organisation but the whole imperialist system that it thrives on.. Hollywood itself depends on it.
These last few years, Netflix and the new online streaming platforms are helping a lot in changing the rules of the game and pushing a global/inclusive liberal agenda, not to create a new game where everyone gets an equal chance but to make the older one prosper longer...
Anyways, that is only my personal opinion on the matter. BTW all this is hors-sujet since i was simply talking abt the Oscars in my comment.. :3

Hmm seems to me like you missed the purpose behind my comment. I was expressing my disappointment in the industry, that is all. Maybe i should have nuanced it better to explain that i am very HAPPY for her since it is deserved, but i wish she won NATURALLY without the political agenda behind it. This particular aspect seems to undermine minorities efforts and hardwork... (but we take what we can get for now)
The rest is semantics, it was indeed forced (in the sense of manufactured) you can look up the new policies that are in the process of being implemented lately online. But here's a couple of articles regarding this matter:
"Also maybe, it’s American hospitality for the Korean actor?" That shade though.. I can't help but question: Would she have won (naturally and organically) without the inclusion of race & gender standards and forced diversity rules that have been implemented though? :/ Still, i'm sure Koreans and minorities in the industry are happy for this infinitesimal change.
EDIT: My comment seemed quite negative, right? I should have nuanced it better. I am actually happy for her and for every minority ever to get any type of positive recognition and representation. Which in my understanding shouldn't be (at this day & age) an exception but effortlessly be part of the norm.

So Moonie was the ace of the series. I won't be watching it without him.
What's with both MLs' fugly dated hairstyles in the cover?

I dunno about that strong gaze thing tho xD

Behind the comical premise, it's actually a wholesome & refreshing concept. I have a feeling that this will be a fluffy & fuzzy one.
