The grim reaper is the king so why he's only 300 years old not 900 ? It means that he came more than once…
No, it just means he spent 600yrs doing smth else, possibly in purgatory, "hell", etc. The brief glimpse of older king at very end of ep10 shows he grew up to be LDW.. & since reapers tend to look like their most ~recent / last incarnation, it is confirmed, he basically had only that one life & no other previous selves since then. Sunny too tho? Could been living diff lives or "sleeping" centuries waiting for the right one, right time..
Was it only me who as soon as I saw all the racks in the first resort scene, thought "those are totally gonna fall on her.."? I seen too many series w/random deadly scenarios, lol.. (SPN, etc)
Does anybody know which timeframe it plays? Because technically it should be ten years in the past but in episode…
ET born 1998, mom died 2006 (ET age8/9SK), ET met KS in Sept2016 on her 18/19th bday, & it is Christmas 2016 season now.. let's see if they'll mention New Year's ;P
Am I the only one who's glad they didn't make the Queen Shin's lover? That love-line would've…
No, you're not alone, the majority agrees with you, lol. ~I'm disappointed, mainly cuz I shipped KS/GR & would've been fascinated by a tragic love being reunited ~centuries later as awkward roomies on opposite sides of immortal life powers.. epic. But at least there's still lots of cuuteness to focus on, despite the cliché writing.. ^-^
So.. I'm guessing their names are in direct correlation with who they were in their past lives. Sunny's…
It's sooooo CLICHE tho, it just ~kills me.. & I liked how "yeowang" means queen lol irony! But I can't ship Shin with his ~sister! LOL (as I prefer KS/GR) soo.. "king" it is ;(
Okay, so I was watching this show, got all kyaaa (squealing) and rooting so hard for the Goblin and Goblin bride…
Hmm, attempting to define the word ~solely by its etymological roots?? Combining what? It's just the English version of Greek words meaning "child love". Except that is not really its actual meaning, just a ~literal translation.
While I was referring to its TRUE, *psychiatric* definition.. which is "sexual attraction to PREPUBESCENT children", aka ~before puberty. You can deny that all you want, but I actually studied psychology & this subject in all its various contexts, so yeah, ppl misusing terms to call ~anyone a pedophile is smth I just can't tolerate.
So if that is "combusting", so be it.
Re: "that is what they think" & THAT IS WHY WE MUST CLEAR UP THE CONFUSION. Please don't make it worse. That's all I'm saying. ^-^
Okay, so I was watching this show, got all kyaaa (squealing) and rooting so hard for the Goblin and Goblin bride…
LOL simply because I can actually ~elaborate on the topic, that counts as "combusting".. right. So you enjoy misusing terms & declaring that you kno someone's mood & attitude better than the person writing it. Okay.
In what area was I "incorrect"? I can backup (& did provide ~references) whatever I wrote. Meanwhile, you seem fixated on "explaining" what OTHER ppl supposedly felt? Really? Why bother? Spreading ~misinformation without clarification does not help anyone. You ~could have tried being CLEAR in your defense then:
"Certain cmts have recently been posted on the official site by people claiming to be against a female high school ~character getting romantic with an ~actor in his 30s, despite tons of other series doing this regularly as well as there being an obvious difference btwn characters & actors. Some ppl also mistakenly claim that it "promotes pedophilia", which is a common misuse of the term."
Btw, they're all mostly hypocrites anyways cuz as long as the actors are "hot" & "physically attractive" it'd be no issue, but since ET is playing a cutesy role, suddenly "oh noes!" Yeah, I don't buy it, lol. Teen romance is an actual GENRE. If anyone's promoting "pedo-ism" it's the anime in Japan with all the ~lolita stuff, oyy.
I kno you mentioned nothing of consent but that is the point, it MATTERS because there is NOTHING ILLEGAL about a person under 19-chrono/20SK ~dating over it.. unless there is *force* involved, which is always wrong.
And again both of those situations? NOT PEDOPHILIA.
If the series WAS promoting that, she'd be under ~13c & there would be physical stuff & ~sexual attraction being shown ~ONSCREEN.. get the difference? Since you're explaining for the ppl who are misinformed, perhaps you can also relay this correction back to them. This is just an ~innocent romance, zero "pedo-ism" at all.
On the previous note, I forgot to say, I also dislike misuse of that word.. "hater" too, aka "someone who ~spreads hate & negativity"; it of course does not apply here. Tho I've seen plenty in other fandoms. But also so many more like to toss that term out now, it's useless.
I myself just really want to kno the backstory with the general, queen & king already.. that info is relevant to so many points & right now KimShin is the only one who knows what really happened that led to the tragedy.
Okay, so I was watching this show, got all kyaaa (squealing) and rooting so hard for the Goblin and Goblin bride…
@redtealeaf - Haha thanks, I never consider it "time wasted" when sharing info, precisely because ~anyone can read these cmts & thus may find it useful.. so just in case ^-^
Okay, so I was watching this show, got all kyaaa (squealing) and rooting so hard for the Goblin and Goblin bride…
LOL I ~enjoy my media just fine, thanks. This IS me "relaxed", & I can also be simultaneously annoyed at ppl misusing terminology that increases misunderstandings by spreading inaccurate information. I am just tired of that word ~tossed around, not just here but in other fandoms too, by uneducated ppl who are the ones that really need to chillax & stop trying to taint everything.
Btw, actual AGE OF CONSENT (ie, starting age one can have a mutual relationship of a physical nature) in SK is a ridiculously low ~13!! (& btw, everything in legal terms goes by ~chronological age, not "spoken age") Obviously that has led to some controversial cases of adults being involved with actual minors (13/14/15 chrono) & getting away with it as long as "consent" can be proven, despite universal agreement that if they're too young to ~drive they really shd be too young to risk getting pregant!! Luckily, there is at least one politician trying to raise that age bar to (chrono) ~16.. hope it happens asap!!
Honestly, after reading the original complaints, there's no way to tell if they're not just spam cmts by anti-fans trolling cuz they don't like KGE or whatever. I have seen tons of similar stuff posted by anti-fans in other media so it's like, same old same.. many ARE just jealous.
Yeah, some laws are diff in diff countries, but if making an innocent romance story was ~truly against any SK laws, it wouldn't have been greenlighted in the first place. It never would've gotten to the casting stage. So the main issue is ppl having ~misconceptions about what is really allowed. Thus back to the lack of being informed.
So.. I will keep doing what I do. Not combusting, merely making sure to be heard loud & clear by whomever needs to hear this information. Because knowledge is crucial.
