Woojin is Seonghui's son.Woojin is Eunoh's close university friend who returned to SKorea a short while ago.Woojin…
I think Woojin and Eun Ho are probably twins (fraternal). Because when Evil Bio Mom was talking about kids from previous marriage, she mentioned children as in plural.
Also, even more trashy of her to give up her girl child in favor of male child. Then call her a "thing" and expect her to giver her liver to her brother!!!
I must say, the FL is surrounded by mostly horrible men, especially brothers.
Even though the emperor's upbringing of FSG is wrong and overboard, compared to FSG's mother actions, the emperor's…
Yeah like why did she marry a guy who was conquering places and would eventually become a leader in the first place? Like what was the end game in her mind?
welll personal opinion I don’t like the princess at all, like everyone gave her hint that she shouldn’t marry…
You said everything I came here to say! Sometimes, when you are too stupid, no one can save you, even from yourself! She is the prime example of that. And her love for the guy wasn't even love, it was obsession. Like B, you didn't even know him for a day, just because he gave you water in a dessert you fell in LOVE???
I don't think scriptwriters have a good view on emperors at all. I can count the amount of kind or even sane emperors…
I dont think the representation is far off from reality. I dont think there have been many transfer of powers in the history that dont have scheming, malice and cunning involved at some or the other level.
I would agree with you if she somehow stopped them, removed them or in the worst case, just killed them if she…
Yeah whats wrong with her is she was abused by her father, the person who is supposed to protect her when she was a CHILD!!! Then she was abused by her husband, the second person who was supposed to protect her. And guess what, her father didn't change at all after all these years, even after he 'found God'! In fact he started a place (church) where he brought in unsuspecting victims. Predators and abusers don't magically get on the 'right path' despite harsh or light punishments, talking from experience here. So yeah, she isn't a monster, rather someone who killed monsters!
I dont remember the exact details but he leaves her for some stupid reason along the lines of 'I did it because it was good for you'. when she is in NYC. At some point, he cheats on her and gets another girl pregnant and has a baby with her. Alys is no saint, she gets in a car accident with Tripp in it and Tripp is mortally injured. Overall, 10/10 toxic relationship between the two and she deserves every bit of it for sticking around such a guy.
I really hated the one dimensional treatment of JIS. Everyone calls her a monster, no one is concerned about the victims she was avenging/trying to protect. I know I sound like a broken record, but the fact that the writers have treated her character so one dimensionally by every other character just pisses me off and takes away from the emotional nuances. The show could have been so much better if they showed the gray in other characters in JIS treatment. Even the kid she saved is calling her a monster. Such a huge personal turn off for me.
Yeah. as much as I enjoy Chinese dramas... The anti Japanese propaganda is very veryyyyyyyyyyyy strong in their…
Oh yeah I blocked them as well but before that I saw them talking about One China in so many different posts.
And its truly heartbreaking what is happening in Africa, we have some family there so are privy to the situation. Another thing no one talks as often about is the racism/colorism from Asian folks (I am Asian my self). Sometimes I see such disgusting blatant racism/colorism that what I experience here in the US pales in comparison. Its a sad state of affairs.

Yeah they said ZAIJIAN two days ago to me and today I come back to see a fresh comment where they are trying to UNO reverse and say I am either an American troll or a double agent troll from China. They claim to be American but fiercely defend China like its their mom
This is some pretty blatant anti-Chinese sentiment. There are plenty of aspects about China to disagree upon -…
This comment wraps itself in the language of nuance, but it’s really just deflection dressed up as analysis. It leans on historical U.S. wrongdoing to minimize China's ongoing, active aggression, and worse, tries to pass off China's global ambitions as harmless "posturing." That’s not just misleading. It’s intellectually dishonest.
Calling China’s wars “limited and regional” is laughable. Tibet wasn’t a border scuffle, it was an annexation. The Korean War saw hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops deployed. The Vietnam invasion was real, as were the deadly border clashes with India. And today? China's flying warplanes into Taiwan’s airspace, building illegal military bases on artificial islands, ramming vessels in the South China Sea, and openly threatening war. This isn’t symbolism. It's a sustained campaign of intimidation backed by real force.
And the idea that China is somehow more "restrained" because it hasn’t launched a full scale invasion lately? That’s willful blindness. China doesn’t need to send tanks over borders when it's building strategic control through other means, especially in Africa. Through the Belt and Road Initiative, China has trapped countries in massive debt, seized key infrastructure like ports and mines, and exported surveillance tech to prop up authoritarian regimes. It’s not aid, it’s leverage. And it's already established a military base in Djibouti, with more likely to follow. That’s not regional posturing. That’s long-game power projection.
The comparison on transparency is equally absurd. Yes, the U.S. has had covert operations, but they’ve been exposed and debated because the U.S. has historically had a free press and functioning institutions. China, by contrast, jails reporters, censors everything, and punishes truth as a threat to the regime. Equating the two is not "balance", it’s propaganda by omission.
This comment ultimately tries to shift the conversation from what China is doing now to what the U.S. did before, as if one cancels out the other. That’s not critical thinking, that’s moral sleight of hand. The uncomfortable truth is that China is an authoritarian power actively expanding its influence through coercion, debt, disinformation, and military threats, and no amount of historical whataboutism changes that.
If we’re serious about holding powers accountable, then stop giving Beijing a pass just because Washington has blood on its hands too. Both can be criticized. But pretending they’re equal threats? That’s not analysis. It’s enabling.

Oh I see, you said bye yesterday but you are back because your CCP overlords werent happy with your word count so you decided to vomit whatever to get that paycheck! You know what, get that bag girl! Go off...
Yeah. as much as I enjoy Chinese dramas... The anti Japanese propaganda is very veryyyyyyyyyyyy strong in their…
Funny how someone named "nycfoodie" spends more time defending Beijing’s propaganda than, well, food. Almost feels like you’re reading from a script, I hope you are getting paid to do this!
Calling China’s aggression “just disputes” is a joke. Dead soldiers at Galwan, ramming boats in the South China Sea, hostage diplomacy, cyberattacks, if that’s harmless, you’re either blind or complicit.
And let’s talk about China’s cruelty at home: censorship, mass detentions, crushing minorities... and don’t forget Mao, who caused the deaths of millions of his own people. As you said earlier to another commenter, "When you have friends like that, who needs enemies?"
If your go to is “others do bad too,” you’re not arguing for peace , you’re just covering up for oppression.
Also I know it your job to defend China on online forums so you WILL keep going, I would do the same if I were getting paid, but I am not, so ADIOS!

No one is denying Japan’s wartime atrocities or the fact that they’ve fallen short in fully acknowledging them. That’s a valid grievance. But it’s not a false equivalence to point out that China engages in its own aggressive behavior today, while using historical victimhood to shield itself from criticism.
You asked: “What war crimes is China still committing against other countries?” Maybe not conventional “war crimes” by strict legal definitions, but here are real, ongoing actions by the Chinese state that undermine international norms:
South China Sea militarization: China openly disregards the 2016 Hague ruling that invalidated its territorial claims. It has harassed Vietnamese, Filipino, and Malaysian vessels, used water cannons on fishermen, and built military bases on disputed reefs.
Border aggression: The 2020 Galwan Valley clash with India resulted in deaths on both sides, the first such incident in decades. That’s not peaceful diplomacy; it’s armed conflict.
Hostage diplomacy: China's politically motivated detention of foreign citizens, like the two Canadians held in retaliation for Huawei's CFO, undermines any moral high ground.
Cyber warfare and espionage: China has been credibly accused by multiple countries (U.S., U.K., Australia, etc.) of sponsoring large scale cyberattacks, including theft of intellectual property, government data, and sensitive infrastructure targets.
If your only rebuttal to all this is going to be, “Well, the U.S. does bad stuff too”, that’s not the clever comeback you think it is. A smart argument holds every country accountable for its actions. Pointing out one country’s wrongdoing doesn’t excuse another’s.
You can call out Japan’s historical failings and criticize China’s current policies. Maturity means recognizing that more than one country can be wrong in different ways.
Also, even more trashy of her to give up her girl child in favor of male child. Then call her a "thing" and expect her to giver her liver to her brother!!!
