Couldn't have said it better. The way people—especially women—are bending over backwards to defend him is…
I AM SO ANGRY. Fans are always ready to bully a celebrity for smoking.dating and minor daily things that every normal person does, but they brush off such a serious matter? It is more than just problematic. I don't understand what they earn by defending him, I guess the comfort of their own fantasies matters more than a human life to them.
It's disappointing to say the least, how there are people and (most of them are women) who support him and defend him by trying to rationalize and normalise his actions. WAKE UP FROM YOUR STUPID FANTASIES. An actor's job is TO ACT, YOU DON'T KNOW HIM PERSONALLY. And before anyone says anything, yeah, I don't know him personally either, but I would rather not stand with a potential pedo who drove a young girl to her death and turn my back on a young girl's suffering. If this was a random dude you would be sending prayers for justice to be served, but since it is your favorite actor you would rather protect your fantasies and the parasocial relationship you have created with him. If in the year of 2025 women do not stand with other women in a patriarchical society and prefer to defend a man who would not hesitate to take advantage of them and throw them away as if they were dirt, then our society is doomed..
And while other people come here and say they never liked him , I will admit that Kim SOO Hyun was one of my favorite actors in korean industry, but I would never like a celebrity to the point to turn off my morals.
I also liked this as much as season 1. Agree with every thing you have said.
Honestly not reading reviews is better choice, trying a show for yourself and see if you like it works better. I find myself disagreeing with reviews many times when it comes to shows and say to myself not to pay attention to them, but when my time is limited I tend to get a bit affected by them. Happy viewing to you too Bernie <3
"one of the most naturally developed romances in media" that description is so accurate! Plus I echo the entire…
I am blown away by how natural was the progression of their relationship. It was simple and realistic and that makes it stand out, like two people coming together, getting to know each other and falling in love. There is so much beauty in its simplicity that it makes it feel very human. Definitely one of my most favorite relationships in media!
you can't do this to me, you can't give me one of the most naturally developed romances in media I have ever seen and then no give me season 2. THIS IS A CRIME
I actually enjoyed this season as much as season 1. I feel both were charming in their own ways, both had their strong and weak points. -In season 1 I could count on the fingers of my one hand the characters I liked, while in season 2 the cast is more likable and I find myself rooting for more characters than I did for in season 1. -While I am more emotionally invested in the cast in season 2, season 1 was more emotional, I felt that the stakes were higher there and despite most of the cast in season 1 being more annoying, I felt they perceived the danger more than the players in season 2 did, in my opinion players in season 1 prioritized their survival over the money ,unlike players in season 2,thus it was more interesting to see their desperation for survival in season 1 cause not only it made the games more interesting, but you could see how far some characters could go, season 1 did a better job at highlighting how humans can adapt to new circumstances no matter the insanity behind them. - I liked how number 001 in season was a secret villain, they made me shed tears for him and then made me feel like a clown, I like how in season 2 they chose a different narrative for the villain and this time around we knew from the start that he is bad. Both narrative options serve their purpose well. - season 2 had no cringe VIP scenes
I really miss Jang Tian and Sheng Wang. I have been watching edits of them non-stop. It would be so sad if we do not get to see the end of the journey on screen.
