Celebrities, as public figures, should expect a certain level of scrutiny and criticism. They're responsible for their actions and the consequences that follow (e.g., getting canceled)

I agree with being mindful of our words, but it's not fair or accurate to place the blame solely on external factors when someone decides to take their own life. It's a complex problem influenced by internal and external factors

"... we do not have the right to give our opinion regarding private life"

If it's true that this celebrity used his power and influence to groom a teenager, he's setting a dangerous example for others. It's not something that should be swept under the rug and dismissed as a "private" matter. The public has a responsibility to speak out against it to send a message that it won't be tolerated and to prevent others from being harmed in the future

The public isn't a passive audience. We're an active participant in shaping the careers and lives of celebrities. As a result, we can judge celebrities and decide whether they're worthy of our continued financial and emotional support

"I will reserved my judgement. In so doing, who I am I to judge . We are so self-righteous. and biased"

Who are you to judge the people judging him? Aren't you being self-righteous and biased?

It’s more accurate to describe this era as one where accountability evolves in step with information accessibility. Younger generations are motivated by their firsthand experiences with real-time access to global crises and the aftermath of unregulated media

Older generations are used to norms that go unchallenged. Younger generations are different and asking questions older generations ignored. "Who gets hurt in the process of what we're normalizing?" or "should this be normal?"

There's nothing wrong with them asking questions or challenging your beliefs

"... liking pornography doesn't make people dangerous perverts"

Depends on what kind of "porn" it is

Not every viewer of "porn" is actively dangerous, but the passive consumption of "porn" supports systems and attitudes that are dangerous

Celebrities are selling their talent and image. If they do something that tarnishes that image, the public has a right to talk about it

Sometimes, public opinion can be a powerful force for holding these celebrities accountable. The courts are slow to act

This is so overrated, it makes everything else look underrated

Society has developed a habit of uncritically consuming media and its messaging. The so-called "love" it idolizes, be it the one between a man and a woman or the one between a bio parent and a bio child, isn't loving. It's a distorted version of "love" motivated by unhealthy obsession and self-indulgence

"Isn't Jeju traditionally matriarchal, though?"

There’s no matriarchal society where men quiver in fear of the almighty female rulers. Every society operates on different levels of patriarchy

The drama has its flaws, what doesn't?

An 8.3 rating is spot on. It praises the drama for trying its best and making the most of its low budget, and acknowledges there's room for improvement. It gives credit where credit is due

The straight dramas you watched are fetishization of the straight lifestyle, too. Pure straight fetish, and that or spamming this review isn't something to be proud of

You have the time, you're invested in my so-called "poop truck" and wasting time talking about it

That’s the consequence of shitting on others

Interesting how my disagreement is "suspicious," but your echo chamber of identical praises and insults isn’t

How many alt accounts do you have? 5? 10?

You all sound alike, should I assume it's one person running multiple accounts? NicoM, Akhilesh, Mike, you, and the others

I wish the drama had given Seong Hyeon and Da On more screen time. We need a spin-off focused on their love story, then you might not deny their place in your hall of fame

Seong Hyeon and Da On are perfect together, they're renting space in my head 24/7

What if the relationship helps them "work through things?"

Therapy is great. But no one locks themselves in a self-improvement bunker waiting for emotional enlightenment or the day they can advance to the next phase of relationships. They don't pass an invisible test and get issued a license to date

Growth is trial and error. A stable relationship, the one between Da On and Seong Hyeon, can be the thing that helps break toxic patterns. It's not a distraction from healing, it's a part of it

This story was a roller coaster, and these characters went through so many loops, drops, and corkscrews that they deserve to get off the ride with a smile, happy ending, and a prize for endurance

For the record, I'm gay

You've mentioned the struggles you've faced in your other comments, and I'm not trying to add to them by labeling you as homophobic. What I'm saying is some of your comments might give off that impression. Kind of like how a punchline might not land if the audience isn't in on the joke

"... in sharp contrast to me, who has agreed to many of your points"

That's not true. I'm willing to concede that you have a point, we could loosen up a bit and not let every little thing get under our skin
