I wouldn't say there's "angst" at all. Yes, it is true that there is a rape-case from the recent past, but there…
Yes, the drama would have made more money if it aired in 2017 or 2018 when MeToo was in full force. Conservative cultures sweep rape under the rug and this show ratings in 2015 was very poor
I am sure you have heard of the Burning Sun Scandal. It is not just Korea according to the research. Multiple women are raped per minute in most parts of the world
Given that it is usually underreported it is probably worse than we think
Every 73 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. And every 9 minutes, that victim is a child. Meanwhile, only 5 out of every 1,000 perpetrators will end up in prison. https://www.rainn.org/statistics
You can look it up. Female athletes getting raped is "normal" in South Korea. This drama portrayed that beautifully. If it had aired after all these crimes were known and prosecuted. It might have been a more popular drama
In youtube they subbed it up to episode 3 subbers are still working on it
I subbed some episodes but the subtitles stopped getting approved. The channel does not reply to my messages. The translator also gave up. I tried uploading subtitles to subscene and that failed too It has been a mess. So I put it on hold
I cannot believe what u said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To hear someone saying this about the victim is sick I don't even…
I starting watching Please Dont Date Him and recalled Goo Hara's suicide. In Korea like most countries, a lover making a non-consensual sex tape is not a crime because you are both in a relationship. She got attacked online even though she was the victim of blackmail and a sex tape was made without her permission but it is not a crime to make the sex tape. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goo_Hara
People like you are missing the point: This is CENSORSHIP.If a work claims to be accurate rendering of history…
It is their culture that is the problem, I can provide many more examples like The "No Corset Movement" but you want a relevant example so I will give you one. The Japanese have textbooks that removed their atrocities in World War 2. That is obviously wrong and should be changed But a textbook and a work of fiction are not the same. It is one thing to make a movie sympathetic to Hitler It is another to have an history textbook that is sympathetic to hitler. We have satire for a reason
It is pretty pathetic how they want celebrities careers to end for bullying in high school when Korean netizens…
Korean netizens drive celebrities to suicide every year eg Sulli. To me that is more important than how some dead dude is portrayed on TV. Korea has the highest suicide rate in world probably and in the OECD definitely. There are more pressing issues. Some facets of Korean culture make Japan look like a feminist haven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahqaJHr4J2E
From a history student standpoint this is very concerning. I find it deeply troubling that the knetz is attempting…
Thank you. It is plain CENSORSHIP No different from what the Chinese government does. The issue is that the people complaining are not some history experts. The production never promised an accurate documentary. Korean Netizens are just entitled and toxic, they drive their celebrities to suicide almost every year eg Sulli. It has nothing to do with the content. They just want another bandwagon to jump on. Some facets of Korean culture make Japan look like feminist heaven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahqaJHr4J2E

It is not about hurt. It is about entitlement and toxic nature of Korean netizens who drive celebrities to suicide almost every year. They believe they are to decide what celebrities wear. They drove Sulli to suicide. There are parts of Korean culture that make Japan seem like feminist heaven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahqaJHr4J2E

The article below was the one I was looking for in the first place. And most rapists are serial offenders

This is what I meant

Anyway, the drama's only mistake was coming out before #MeToo
She got attacked online even though she was the victim of blackmail and a sex tape was made without her permission but it is not a crime to make the sex tape.
