Huh, I'm genuinely surprised by the comments in this section. My first introduction to Rowoon was recently through…
I'm really enjoying the series too. Rowoon seems to be having a great time and isn't taking himself too seriously, which is refreshing. He's still new to leading roles, but he's already showing good potential. This series is just meant to be fun, and that's exactly what it is.
What truly distinguished the show was not just its compelling narrative but also its bold approach to confronting numerous societal taboos. The series delved into topics that are often left unspoken or are deemed uncomfortable for public discussion. I liked how the show paved the way for discussions about women's experiences—it was all about women and their needs—their desires and aspirations to the more intimate aspects of their lives that are not normally explored. Integrating the podcast into the narrative was also great, and they were funny as well. Here were women talking about women, and the men were there to support the storyline. What I find amazing in Asian dramas is their ability to interweave a discussion about the menstrual cycle into the narrative. In Western culture, the conversation around menstrual cycles is often cloaked in silence and not readily discussed, leaving a gap in open, honest dialogue. This silence is pervasive even though menstruation is a monthly reality for billions of women worldwide and has profound implications for their health and well-being.
I really enjoy the series, but the way they're spacing out the episodes is frustrating. Perhaps I'll return to it in the new year and binge-watch the lot.
LOL, and here was I thinking it was me. If you apologise for every minor mistake, the impact of your apologies may become diluted. Not enough hours in a day. But, culture is culture and that is how they see it.
It is reported that "No Way Out" will change the male lead. Feel sorry for him and his career may probably end…
It's really unfortunate that the main actor in "No Way Out" is in this tough spot, especially in South Korea where smoking weed is a big deal. He's messed up and must deal with what the law says there. It's different from Western countries, where it's not as frowned upon. But let's not forget, he's human, and this shouldn't ruin his whole career. Instead, they should talk openly about this instead of just locking him up rather than 'cancelling' him. This kind of thing affects not just him but also his family. Despite all this, I'm sure he's still a good family man. So, it's important to look at the whole picture before judging him. And yeah, there's nothing like a bit of media hype to make things look worse. It's always better to think things through ourselves.
I wish Korea was just a bit more tolerant. There are so many talented actors who have had to leave the industry…
It is a hard existence for them, isn't it? Totally unrealistic. The entertainment industry expects a lot from its performers, and small mistakes can have big consequences. They should encourage a more forgiving and accepting environment where people can learn from their errors. This would help both the actors and the industry become more diverse and healthier.
That final scene in week 8 was a cracker! I loved it. This show has been so entertaining and well-constructed, with well-developed characters you can love or hate, in that it makes us love to hate the antagonists and love to love the protagonists.
The title of the article is badly worded. 'Hold' as in pause? Seems it's supposed to mean 'keep' or 'have'? Should…
Agree. It probably could have been worded better, for example, Hold its Broadcast, does this mean the show will Premier? e.g. To hold meaning To organise or conduct an event. Therefore, the heading could have been "Park Eun Bin's K-drama "Diva of the Deserted Island" to Premier on tvN!" I'm not so concerned about the exclamation - I guess the author, in this case, used an exclamation mark to highlight the excitement of the premiere.
