NotYourOppa

Thank you <3

I would say bittersweet.

I never and nowhere have written that I deny the existence of rapes and sexuall harassment. C'mon...

What I was saying (I'll write it again, because maybe I wasn't clear enough; sorry I'm not a native) that THIS drama (imo) doesn't portray systematic abuse in the world of sports, which is linked strongly to the culture (but is happening in other countries also).
But let's focus on this drama. One of the threads is rape case very symptomatic to the #meetoo movement. Like for example the fact that the perpetrator is close to the victim or that some people are trying to make the victim guilty (it's your fault because you were drinking with him to the point of needing help in coming home; you didn't resist enough; and the "best" one at the police station "you don't act like a victim").

As I looked up on our discussion - we do agree on that matter ;)
I only didn't understand why would it be "a mistake" to "coming out before #meetoo". Maybe it's a part of something we could name as "a korean meetoo"... Did you mean the drama would be more known even outside of Korea? made more money? brought more fame to the actors and the director?

I was unaware also - I wonder what Koreans think on that matter.

Thanks for the link. I've heard a little bit of it. Now I've read some more. However I think that stating "athlets being raped is >>normal<< in South Korea" is sligthly excessive. A lot of allegation is about physical and verbal abuse from couches as well as from teammates or seniors; of course rape cases happened also (and way too often for way too long), but the whole situation isn't about only sexual harrasment. And #meetoo is strictly about this kind of harrasment, molesting and rapes.
Since in "Ho Goo's Love" I didn't saw sport's bullying I don't link it to the recent allegations made by Korean athlets. But for #meetoo - evidently.

Ok, I might be in the minority here:D I really wonder about it if people find it beautiful to keep that thing as a keepsake and even making seal stamp with it inside. Maybe just a heart vote?:)
Could you expand the second one? I'm not sure what you mean. (I know what #metoo is about)

I wouldn't say there's "angst" at all.
Yes, it is true that there is a rape-case from the recent past, but there aren't any flashbacks from it and the whole thread about it focus on the reactions from the milieu the most. (a little on the pregnanacy). But - and I really appreciate that - all the drama was made without overdamatizing things. The drama makers have touched many social problems but not grilled any for too long.
I was fond of the short "tips" like (use condoms, flirt with moderate, let's respect others' preferences) however one was kinda... meh. I mean "let's be ordinary" or "it's best to be ordinary". It's not like it'll bring any good to force oneself to fit in some "ordinary frame" against their will or feelings.
To sum up this drama is quite a light one, despite the thread I've just meantioned. First half or more was funny also. I enjoyed it.

P.S. But the umbilical cord button was disgusting.

Yeah, we still don't know whose the baby is. Since I'm not familiar with "Taiwanese trees" that park was clearly suppose to be somewhere in the US for me. Still I have to admit, it was made in a low budget style - very far from the reality ;)
What about the luggage? Did I miss smth?;D

As well as kissasian.sh

I agree. Overdramatic but I still like it (after first ep of S2 though; if they'll go more and more with overdoing I might change my mind).

It's like a prequel to the second season. Without it you wouldn't know why Zhou Shu Yi is acting like that.

Everything becomes clear in the first episode of the second series :)

Slightly lack of essence in my opinion. It wasn't a bad movie, but I would like it to have more story, more plot, more content.

Yeah. It looks like it. I've just finished the movie.

yes, it's still ongoing. Who knows when it'll end. I absolutely understand you - as I too don't like to watch/read anything that's unfinished... But still some of them are great it'd be a shame to wait a few years or more to know it ;)

I was pausing this movie because it was so damn good and I didn't want it to end.
I'll rewatch it for sure in the future.

I think it was mainly because of the backlash on gays in chinese society.
I love this drama for its plot. And that "based on the true story". However the acting had a lot of space to improve.

or here. better quality but still very small white subtitles.

I couldn't agree more :)

Clearly. Still if the movie is hard to watch and get to the main point I wouldn't call it a good one.

Hm... Isn't it obvious that we all here write just our opinions? ;) When I saw only positive comments and high notes I felt the need to balance it so no one would have too high expectations - as I was dissapointed. Of course the one will have to watch it to have their own opinion and might actually love it - nothing wrong with that :)
