Trouble-chan

I'm a British Gen-Xer, I'm 60, so please excuse me if I'm out of touch - I'm into Kpop (thanks to my daughter) and Kdrama through that love of Kpop music. One thing fanwars always make me roll my eyes about is if they just stopped attacking everyone (and often each other) they would be able to unite to ensure their idols/actors got BETTER treatment from their agencies.

Zhao Lusi is classic example of toxic agencies not being held accountable until it's almost too late. I would even argue that, given the sad death of Yu Menglong, that often times it IS too late. NO ONE is held accountable and the fans continue to lose their sh*t over a couple of actors messing around because they're friends, but NOT at their favourite actors/idols being abused, even murdered, by their agencies - at the very least worked to death (RIP Godfrey Gao).

So the fans NEED to put their dumb differences aside, unite together and take ALL the agencies on - literally toe to toe . Only then will things change for the idols/celebrities they claim to love . Besides, these idols & celebrities are PEOPLE, and NOT robots. They will fall in love, break up with partners, have kids, fall out with friends, make mistakes and get tired/sick/depressed. They're human beings, just like us; having successes and failures, good and bad times. But hey, I'm a feral Gen-Xer so what do I know?😜

I'm very, very happy for him. The allegations were debunked, he was also very ill at the time he had to face all the lies and he really didn't deserve to suffer as he did. It was disgusting how many lies were told and false accusations made.

I'd forgotten about it!!!🤣🤣

I'm 60, British and a huge Kdrama fan, so I read a lot about him as I'd seen some of his projects. I grew up in an area where drugs were (and still is) a blight on so many lives, so it concerned me he might have been guilty. But this lad did nothing wrong, He was basically accused by people who loathed him for being himself & accused him of hurting others. It's been proven he did nothing wrong. I really would like this poor young man to be allowed to get his life back now. I also think his accusers should face charges.

Finally back and managed to change it! RL is so busy, but I was determined to correct it - thanks for the advice and info.

Ah thank you! I did get the names mixed up, sorry for that. Should I change it ( if I can?) but I was also rooting for the mouse!😊

Sadly that never bodes well. Usually means it's been cancelled and won't be airing.

From what I've read recently here in the UK, he has been proven innocent now. So I hope his career can restart and he can go back to working in dramas and movies again. It's disgusting what has been done to him.

Same. I still got bits and pieces in braincells my stroke didn't kill! LOL! At least we tried and I have some I can still remember from a lot of Asian languages now (I tried Mandarin too, that worked about as well as the Japanese and Korean, but I've still got the basics).

I will go check the page! Is it on one of the drama hosting sites?

I'm glad if it was another lifetime. Then they were fated to meet and live a good, happy life together - at least once. They certainly suffered enough for that to be allowed them.

Okay, I love both actresses and I'm watching both dramas currently. I have to say though that 'Love Game in Eastern Fantasy' is streets ahead of 'The Story of Pearl Girl'. They're both good, don't get me wrong. The acting is wonderful in both. It's just....well, to be honest, Love Game is way more engaging and entertaining. I am so done with all the death dramas and tragedies right now. I've just finished 'Kill Me, Love Me' and there's too many like that around - sad endings for no good reason that just drive the viewer mad. People say "oh well, we have to understand that real life is full of tragedy and not everyone gets a disney ending!" But come on I just want to hug a pillow because a cute couple are being adorable and laughing because someone's an accident prone klutz (like me) and get AWAY from my problems for a while.....NOT join someone else in theirs.

So I think, given the world is STILL a dumpster fire that STILL run by morons, should have more dramas that are fun and entertaining, rather than soul destroyingly depressing. I'm clearly not alone and, to me at least, I think this is why the very cute (but also dramatic) Love Game is doing better than Pearl Girl.

I'm still confused as to whether Fu Chou was genuinely evil or just messed up by his life growing up and the palace (as the rest of them seemed to be)?
I am alternating between feeling sorry for him to wanting to slap him. Does he have a bad end? Not sure whether to continue with this drama....🥺

or his mental health. I think it's more to do with other things around him, things they wanted to make an example of him for. I just hope he won't be like Lee Seon Kyun.......another victim (regardless of what led to his death).

Exactly - nothing to do with him, just the judiciary trying to make a point. The fact that he's sympathetic to the Korean LGBT community & is critical of the government has nothing to do with it either....right? Just as bad as the UK now (free speech is just dead)....I really feel for him he must feel completely alone.

I LOVED 'Go Ahead', so will be very interested to watch this!

Sadly this is a western thing (I'm from the UK). It's ridiculous because as others have said here, there's no time to develop the story or the characters. It's why so many of our plots in our dramas are so fast, they have to be. So many get cancelled at the end of s1, even if it ends on a cliffhanger. Our tv so damn annoying. Sorry yours are being affected because of companies like Disney/Netflix/Amazon buying in.

I've blocked them. They're either as thick as porridge or just a sad little troll, either way not worth bothering with. I completely agree with you about insomnia, I've had it for years and it's not fun. I really feel for this poor guy.

Yeah, you're a troll, because no one is this deliberately obtuse. If you are just that obtuse, then I suggest you wait to pass judgement on the actual adults, flawed as we are, until you're an adult living in the real world. If you're just a troll; well, that's just sad.

Your replies are ridiculous and clearly you know NOTHING about the Asian entertainment industry. So many have KILLED THEMSELVES because of the demands of their management companies. Would you say the women in America who were raped by Weinstein & others 'asked for it' because they wanted a film role, despite being already famous? Of course not. Well Asian artists are the same. They don't ASK to be worked to death, either by their own hands or literal exhaustion.

I'm beginning to think you're just trolling people at this point, because you can't genuinely believe the steaming piles bullshit you're spouting. Either that, or you're a ridiculously spoilt teenager who hasn't even left school yet and knows nothing of the real world. Either way, you're spouting shit.

Ah so you ARE a troll. Got it.
