Did I miss where people are judging Muslim dress and culture here? Many of us are saying that this article is…
I don’t think adultery should be illegal, and your own country got rid of that law too. (I’m not a fan of cheating and I’ve been faithfully married for almost 22 years now., btw.) But laws governing adultery are rarely doled out in a fair way.
What do you think about your country’s potentially excessive use of alcohol (which is certainly an addictive drug of sorts) and the way it views other drugs, (some of which can be used for therapeutic purposes)? Also you all should take it from us that jailing a whole lot of people for using drugs is NOT a good solution, it just makes your jails full.

So I don't disagree with your sentiments, at all, and actually many of us might be trying to say something very similar here. We're usually only given the Dispatch side of things, in badly written articles, which often insult our intelligence. I'd like to either not hear about this, or read articles that give more history and background and not just gossip. In that way, the editorials here were more interesting as they were given space to explore ideas in a creative way.
But I do need to say that, as an American, there is something that happens when the rest of the world sees your culture from the outside and thinks they know it, full stop. And as an American, I'm seeing this happen to you all in SK as your media goes further and further around the world. This has both positives and negatives that can come from it, but one thing that has had implications on both sides is that we Americans were confronted for years about our past (and current) injustices and prejudices by international viewers, especially from those folks who had rights and privileges that we didn't have, or allow anyone else to have. By hearing criticism about these things it often gave power to folks here to advocate for needed changes...and it also helped to have more representation on our own screens. I do feel the same way about your country and the some changes that might help everyone feel more secure in their lives. But that doesn't take away from everything that you're doing right, either. (I'm not saying that outside criticism is the only thing brings change - far from it, but I think it's one of the pieces.)

MDL has gotten rid of most of the editorials and other drama-themed articles that many of us have enjoyed for years, in exchange for often-sloppily-written, often-typo-ridden "news" articles that take over the page for days on end. Many of them seem like they're lifted directly from Dispatch or other tabloid pages. Plus they're only about K-dramas and K-actors, as if MDL is K-only.....which it's not.
I enjoyed watching this drama. but I think this is overrated, agree?I mean if the FL wast played by Bia lu it…
I don't agree at all. The acting, the writing, the filming techniques, the OST, the intricate storyline(s), the chemistry - only a tiny fraction depended on Bai Lu (who I absolutely love btw). This was a team effort and it is in no way overrated.
IMO, what is far more likely is that the Dispatch is a covert asset of one (or more) corrupt state investigation…
Your watchlist is public for anyone to look at. I haven't seen My Demon so I have no idea what the fuss is about, and I despise Dispatch. In response to what mostersnroses commented, I asked you a question about why you've rated so many dramas 1 star while not indicating that any episodes were watched at all. That raises suspicion in those of us who have been on MDL for a long time and have been asking for an overhaul of the ratings system here.
But that's what reviews are! (Personal opinions.) It helps with the overall ratings to have good reviews out there and it also helps other people want to see it (and I think more folks should see this film too.)
Like I wrote in the review, I tried to watch episode 2 and was willing to update the review if the show improved.…
Most dramas need more than 15 minutes, or even the first episode to set up where they're trying to go. Ratings, IMHO, shouldn't be given after only watching one episode.

FWIW, I really like the two actors featured in this particular article, so I'm not complaining about them specifically - I'm complaining about the glut of these kinds of articles in a space that was very different not very long ago. (I'm not the only one complaining either:
