So, if key is not obsessed with it, you won't give it a try?
That's not what they said nor implied. Key is merely the one that got them to try it; nothing was mentioned on not being willing to try it if Key wasn't obsessed with it.
"The greater your suffering, the greater your enlightenment."
I love this quote. Although strange Woo Joo was the one the give it. If I had one qualm with this last ep, it's him dropping out of school. It kind of goes against what the drama was trying to convey. Education is important. It's a matter of how it balances out with one's wellbeing. The goal was never to get rid of education altogether. This is seen with all the other families, where the children are encouraged to continue studying, but at a pace they're comfortable at, and not stressed to death.
Otherwise, I think this was a very much needed closing episode. 19 was a good finish for the climax, but it would be an awkward spot to end on. I'm glad Mr. Cha finally came around but I still don't feel anything for him. I feel like he doesn't fully recognize his wrongdoings, only to the extent that he's aware that he would be miserable without his family. His pride is his worst enemy.
This definitely contends for my favorite kdrama of all time, possibly knocking Waikiki from its throne. Funny how my top 2 favorites have such contrast.
I kind of stayed away from this drama cuz of the hate I read for it despite loving GHJ, LJE, and KSH, but after starting it, I'm mad at myself for not watching it earlier. This is the type of comedy I enjoy lol.
gays existing in independent korean cinema has nothing to do with how conservative they still are.
There is nothing inherently wrong with being conservative, but like you said when basic human and civil rights are not respected, it does become a problem. I love South Korea, but you can't deny a portion of the system has glaring issues, and conservatism is amongst those issues (which isn't limited to just gay rights, but I digress as it was the main topic in my first post).
Also I'm not sure who 'we' refers to, but I disassociate myself with whatever is classified as 'the west'; I only speak on the behalf of myself and nobody else, unless I mention otherwise.
I of course was not trying to be rude, but more wrote my comment in a jokingly manner. I didn't mean to start a debate on conservatism; I only meant to point out that this is one of very few works that include homosexuality--so it doesn't mean anything in terms of SK's stand on the topic--but am glad it exists.

Ah, ok so I didn't misunderstand.
My initial comment was sarcastic btw lol; I'm aware nothing's progressing. I was more or less mocking SK for still being so conservative in this day and age. What I meant in my response is that these types of projects would be more common if the topic weren't so taboo to begin with.
I feel like it's a really common trope amongst male leads..
edit: figured I might as well link 6-10...

Let's not cause unnecessary drama.

Will write a review in a bit
