she was bragging about her family lineage, but the actual issue is that her grandfather was one of the traitors…
That's total BS. Kim Soo-hyun has been completely cleared of any wrongdoing, the person who spread the rumours and doctored the so-called "evidence" is now in jail. Hae-in stood by his friend as he trusted him to be innocent, and here we are. Enough with the vilification because it suits your own agenda.
I don't understand the controversy behind her. Can someone explain, like, what happened?
Umm no that's not correct. Her great-grandfather assimilated with the Japanese (as did many other Koreans at that time) and opened the first Western medical clinic in Korea. Her grandfather worked at a hospital known for it's human rights violations in the case of how patients were treated who had Hansen's Disease. Not proven that he was involved. No connection at all with the Korean emperor's assassination, her great-grandfather treated the emperor as a doctor.
FL controversy over boasting about family's medical lineage turned out to be pro-Japanese collaboration over human…
Her great-grandfather assimilated with the Japanese and was the first Korean doctor to open a Western clinic. You're thinking of her grandfather, who worked at the hospital known for it's human rights violations. However, his involvement hasn't been proven. It's worth mentioning that many people know very little about their ancestors' lives past their grandparents' generation. It's quite possible she was only told about the positive things they did.
K-netz cancelling Ha Young because of her ancestors, yet they are all embraces and love for pdfs and enablers.…
If you're talking about Kim Soo-hyun, he's been cleared by Korea's justice system of any inappropriate behaviour, while the person who spread the rumours and doctored the "evidence" is now in jail.

All 8 participants have been through very tough treatments for cancer, some still ongoing, but none of them are terminal. They freely agreed to sign up as they're all interested in having a boyfriend/girlfriend, something they've been denied because of their illnesses.
I rolled my eyes!! 😡 Makeup room: JiSeung asked Yujin whether she ever feels the age gap when she’s out with…
And here we are at the end with Yujin standing Siwon up, most likely because of the age difference. She claimed only "casual" interest in Siwon during the show, which is not at all how she behaved with him.
The user even mentioned he/she watched 3 of the 8 episodes and review is based on that. No need to get triggered…
Of course you're a girl, given all the bitchy comments about people's appearance and weight, which you're obviously hung up about and projecting onto others. Grow up.
reducing screentime just basically proves the rumors are true cause if it isn't they shouldn't be reducing it…
Actually no, it doesn't prove it. Koreans are quick to condemn TV personalities based on rumours alone. The producers will be doing damage control in case it's true.
Breaking news: people age as time goes by. Shocker right?
sarcasm dear, there's no need to criticise her appearance because she's a 30-something, she doesn't have to look like a 20-year-old to be the lead actress
I hate the writing. The characters don't feel real expect the main character, but that's mostly because of the…
Why are the responders here so triggered by Pincolino's negative reaction? It's allowed that someone doesn't like a drama, it doesn't hurt you or your enjoyment. Netizens today are so damn reactionary... you must like what I like or I can't cope lol
Is South Korea now a Christian country?Shows around 10-15 years back had local culture and religious practices…
The breakdown of religions in South Korea today is approx. 51% non-religious, 31% Christian, 17% Buddhist, 1% other. There are millions of Korean Christians, they've been around for a few generations now.
Is South Korea now a Christian country?Shows around 10-15 years back had local culture and religious practices…
Christianity was introduced to Korea in the 1500s-1700s but was heavily persecuted as it was at odds with their Confucian culture. It was tolerated from the late 1800s onwards. Here's a summary of Christians in Korea... Late 19th and early 20th centuries: Protestant missionaries arrived in larger numbers and established educational and medical institutions. Link to nationalism: Christianity became closely associated with Korean nationalism as many saw it as a pathway to modernization and a way to maintain cultural identity amidst Japanese colonial attempts to suppress Korean culture (ie 1910-1945). Key institutions: Missionaries like Horace Allen and Horace Underwood helped establish key institutions like Severance Hospital and Yonsei University. Post-Korean War: The Christian population in South Korea grew rapidly after the war. Many Christians from the north fled to the south, and the state later enacted measures that further marginalized indigenous shamanism, strengthening Christianity. Modern day: Christianity is a major religion in South Korea, with millions of Protestants and Catholics. It remains intertwined with national identity for many and is actively involved in global mission work.
It would have been interesting if the "coaches" actually helped those guys out once in a while. Or even…
I'm pretty disgusted by the panelists making fun of the participants whenever they're being shy, awkward, saying the wrong thing, making a poor decision, etc. These are people, not K-drama characters. I know they have to try and make the show entertaining, but picking on and laughing at socially awkward people is really below the belt. It would have been a vastly better show if there'd been a counselling session featured in each episode, which would have been useful for the participants and viewers in the same situation.
Woojae isn't my favorite but let just me share my perspective. I don't think he's boring or anything. I just think…
Can say the same for Ha Neul clearly wanting Jimin. In Florence she practically bullied him into not friend-zoning her, yet she's never sent him a message. She's sticking with her safe pick of Chan Hyeong while constantly eyeing off Jimin and trying to make him spend time with her.
Respectfully, disagree. The plot about finding the gold is decent, however, the overall execution is terrible.…
I totally agree with you, it's down to poor writing. They're creating some lame, silly moments to try and advance the plot. Especially noticeable in episodes 9 and 10. I enjoyed the first eight episodes, but now it feels messy and slapsticky.
