lmao I like how you only reply to that part of my message. Also that’s quite pathetic using a word against someone when I’m the one who told them that term exists. Plus clearly they have no comprehension of the word since they called me a Koreaboo whereas they seem to be the one with the Kim Soo Hyun infatuation as they keep on going on about he deserves a second chance and that they want to see him continue to act despite his pedophilic actions. I’m the one looking at the situation objectively so they used ‘Koreaboo’ inaccurately.
Read the messages properly before writing nonsensical replies please. Also they were initially in denial of the term existing so they believe that part of my message but not the parts where I clearly outline how Kim Soo Hyun is a an exploitative, grooming pedophile.

lmao first you denied knowing what a koreaboo is and now you use the term. Also I think ur the only obsessed one considering how you keep on defending him despite the facts present and how you keep on going on and on about giving him a second chance. I only stated that his pretty privilege and wealth are protecting him, which are objective facts. Kim Soo Hyun is one of the highest paid actors in Korea and everyone knows this, also I only described him as handsome (not because I’m obsessed with him) but because he is an actor and that’s what’s keeping his clueless fans attached to him even with this whole scandal going on. Pretty privilege protects people it’s a known psychological fact as humans are more likely to defend someone who’s rich and handsome versus poor and ugly. It’s the objective truth, hence why you are defending him despite ignoring all logic. Also how can you blame her, she was a CHILD when he started grooming her and did nothing wrong. Imagine how isolated she must have felt to have committed suicide and nasty people like you kept on blaming her after her DUI when she was depressed. It’s because of fans like you that she was pressured into suicide and nobody stuck up for her when she was alive. How dare you victim blame when she’s completely innocent. Also Knock off had already been filmed before the scandal broke out so his castmates didn’t know about his grooming so they have no choice but to wait anxiously to see whether it will air or not. You are an absolute delusional idiot for defending this pedophile and blaming Kim Sae Ron. I hope you grow a conscience although it’s unlikely you ever will.

I’m not defending her parents and I also believe that her family has a part to play in this as they didn’t protect their young daughter enough. But at the end of the day Kim Soo Hyun is the main perpetrator and her family failed via negligence. I think both are in the wrong here and that we shouldn’t shift the blame or victim blame. Kim Sae Ron is the true victim in this situation as she was groomed when she was a child, her family didn’t protect her and Kim Soo Hyun drove her to bankruptcy + suicide and even sent letters to her when she was 15 whilst he was in the military as a 27 year old MAN. Additionally, when she posted that picture of the two of them he denied any involvement with her but then later as the media kept pressuring him he admitted to having a relationship with her. Like why even lie in the first place then? Also he didn’t attend her funeral which is highly disrespectful considering they had a relationship together and many actors who weren’t even particularly close with Kim Sae Ron attended yet Kim Soo Hyun didn’t. Overall he’s a horrible person and we shouldn’t allow him to continue to be in the spotlight.

Lmao the fact that you think I made up the word ‘koreaboo’ when that is a widely circulated term that everyone uses to mean ‘a foreigner who fetishes aspects of Korean culture e.g. K drama actors’ tells me how little you know about the K drama industry. Also why should producers/directors be giving a chance to a pedophile. So just because he’s a top actor he can get away with grooming, lying and disrespecting the dead. Are you saying he’s above common humans just because he’s rich and handsome. What a ridiculous thought process. Also how naive are you to say people are going to just move on. He’s lost so many fans and the whole reason the production and release of ‘Knock odd’ being delayed is because of HIM. Frankly I feel tremendously sorry to his fellow actors on the show along with the entire crew for being stuck in this situation all because he couldn’t keep his hands off a little girl. Anyway you continue believing in your delusions and lack of morals. Good luck to you in life. Pretty glad I’m not associated with you 😂.

Lmao how hypocritical of you. I believe YOU need to do more research. He groomed her since she was 15 as a 27 year old man. It’s just that Korea’s laws on grooming and sexual misconduct in general are incredibly patriarchal and he has a whole army of lawyers to cover up his corrupt actions hence why the case was buried. Also the fact that she committed suicide on his birthday doesn’t raise any red flags for you. He put her into debt and denied their relationship for so long and lied to the entire world about it. Even after doing all of that to her he didn’t even attend her funeral. They had a relationship and he DID NOT even pay his respects to her. What kind of a person does that? No matter how you see it he’s a bad person and nobody should be supporting him if you have any sense of morality. Open your eyes, he’s one of the richest actors in South Korea and South Korea is known for its corruption and burial of legal cases if you’re wealthy and have connections. Ur probably a Koreaboo lusting after his pretty face. Tbh I feel quite sorry for you hopefully you don’t remain this gullible forever.

The fact that you resort to swearing to prove your point tells me all I need to know about you. Ur a pathetic koreaboo who only defends a pedophile due to his ‘pretty face’ despite the grave injustice he has committed. At least I’m not some loser fan-girl like you who blindly defends anyone. Good luck living your gullible life. Maybe open your eyes to South Korea’s corruption a bit more.

I 100% agree and I don’t understand how people are suddenly on his side again and are able to easily forget what he did to Kim Sae Ron. He’s responsible for her death no matter what his top level lawyers claim and he didn’t even go to her funeral to top it all off.

Yeah I agree that the description shouldn’t have mentioned the twin brother but at least he’s pretty much revealed in episodes 3/4 so the rest of the season remains unspoiled. Since the spoiler only really affected episodes 1/2.

bullshit delusion K netizen. bro is a criminal and should be behind bars for grooming a little girl and asking for intimacy when she was so young. she committed suicide on HIS birthday what more proof do you fucking need?

Also using the excuse that oh it’s Hollywood or a K drama so it’s not meant to be realistic to justify the idolisation of toxic masculinity is disgustingly outdated. It’s not meant to be realistic but shows/movies are NOT meant to enforce harmful stereotypes. There are several very well made video essays on toxic male tropes in K dramas perhaps you should go educate yourself. THAT is what I was referring to in my comment about toxic male K drama leads in the early 2000s. Go read a book, you child. I will not be engaging with a hypocrite any further. Goodbye and educate yourself or shut up.

you actual IDIOT I know that this is a flipping L drama hence the DRAMA part. Also I don’t know why you’re acting like you’re smart or something when I literally said I already knew Yeol and Bunny were endgame clearly you are illiterate and cannot read. I KNOW it’s fictional you fool. Also I like how you cowardly state I ‘failed to make a coherent argument’ 😂 without actually proving or backing up your points. How pathetic. What a way to win a debate lmao. Simple 5th grader statements. Also I’m really sorry you can’t recognise toxic masculinity with how Yeol is portrayed I feel absolute pity that you don’t see that. At the end of the day Yeol is meant to have certain flaws of course but he is meant to be portrayed as a ‘decent’ boyfriend to make the viewers ship him and Bunny together. The whole flipping drama is about their love story if you haven’t noticed. Yet with how toxic some of his traits are nobody ships the two of them. Hence the low viewership and ratings for this drama. I know you can’t interpret numbers but everyone knows this drama has tanked with a quick google search. Hence the writers/directors have failed the storyline. Analysing the characters/drama is an absolute waste for somebody some dimwitted such as yourself.

You seriously think I don’t know how the story is going to end. It was obvious from the very first episode + thumbnail that Bunny and Yeol were going to end up together. I ALREADY KNEW that bro and I already knew Ji Won was essentially there as an obstacle and to make Yeol jealous etc. Along with Sculptor Jay to emphasise Bunny’s bad luck with men + naivety which acts to further portray Yeol as ‘better’.
Of course I knew Yeol’s ex was brought in just to create drama and upset Bani otherwise the 2 leads would’ve gotten together too soon and the drama wouldn’t be 12 episodes long. Idk why you feel the need to state the obvious like an AI machine. My initial comment wasn’t about the simple plot line/characters or how low budget this drama is. My comment was referring to Yeol being idolised whereas in reality he is a toxic boyfriend. He is similar to how k dramas used to portray men in the 2000s and I figured we’d moved past that toxic masculinity portrayal but clearly not with Yeol. I guess ur too superficial to understand my initial comment and how it was NOT about the storyline unfolds because let’s be real Crushology 101 is the most predictable drama in the universe. My comment was about Yeol and how his behaviour is unacceptable. I just think it’s bad if young girls look up to him as a good example for a boyfriend that’s all.

I think we should end our discourse at that and call it agree to disagree. It’s perfectly normal to have differing opinions so back off and leave ur own comments rather than attacking someone else’s.

Mate I’m not trying to fault the writers/directors as I HAVE said I understand the story is fixed because it is adapted from a webtoon and the author will be expecting a similar storyline to follow through. I am just stating my OWN opinion of how I feel about the characters and there is nothing wrong about a viewer stating their opinion about how THEY feel about the plot etc. If nobody was allowed to state their opinions then what’s the point about rating dramas or interpreting characters etc and coming to a conclusion on how a relationship unfolds. I don’t know what ur problem is that you started attacking my initial comment. If that’s how you feel then that’s how you feel but this is how I feel and nobody gets to call me clueless or stupid because quite frankly you’re being incredibly patronising.

lmao why do you take things so literally. I understand what the writers have portrayed you patronising human being and understand that they’re following the webtoon to portray Bunny and Yeol’s love story. I’m just stating how toxic their relationship is. I’m sorry that in 2025 you don’t seem to think someone can have an opinion on a K drama’s relationship portrayal. Didn’t know that you were some comment police 😂. I never stated that Bunny’s finances were irrelevant clearly you can’t read. I stated that her finances weren’t the ONLY reason she wanted that opportunity in the US. Her professor also recommended and it’s also just a prestigious program. Even someone without poor finances would want to be enrolled in a sculpture program in New York. Also I would say that hundreds of comments stating Yeol’s toxicity isn’t something to be ignored. Unless you think you have some superiority complex to believe that ur viewpoint is correct above others. How democratic of you. I also never stated long distance relationships aren’t difficult to maintain. I agree with this but the way he went about his objection was toxic. He shouldn’t only be thinking about his feelings but also hers and how difficult her financial position is along with how great of an opportunity this program is with how competitive it is to get into. Plus it’s hard for art students to break out so this would add to her portfolio. Along with how hard she worked to get into this program. A healthy relationship would talk things out rather than Yeol begging her not to leave and acting selfishly towards her whilst simultaneously making her feel guilty. It’s not 5 years it’s only 1 year abroad and realistically a school year is more like 9-10 months. Accounting for the fact that Yeol is relatively rich he could easily fly out to visit her. Mate I’m not tryna argue with the writers here it’s based on a webtoon so the story is fixed at the end of the day. I’m just saying that Ji Won initially had some positive traits (my previous comment was before the last 2 episodes) and how in many ways I initially felt he was a better fit for Bunny. I’m allowed to have my own opinion even if the writers go in a different direction. It’s called freedom of speech. It appears you suffer from lack of your own opinions and blindly believing whatever the writers/directors portray as healthy/correct and that there’s no budging or room for interpretation.

wow ur clearly delusional so bullying her into writing out all of his notes for class is not a healthy nor endearing way to spend time with someone. I feel sorry you’re unable to recognise this.
Also I don’t know if you weren’t watching the show but Bunny didn’t just apply to that program due to financial reasons but also because her professor said it’s an incredible opportunity in the states and it has a very high competition ratio of 1:280 applicants. In many K dramas studying abroad is seen as something only for the wealthy and is seen as a superior qualification to help someone advance in their career. So yes studying in a highly competitive program in New York certainly is life changing for career prospects. Ur delusional if you don’t think so.
Read the other comments regarding this drama and you will see how many people criticise Yeol’s behaviour. Yes the story is meant to be unrealistic cause it’s a flipping K drama but that doesn’t mean its meant to propagate toxic masculinity as a show for romantic love which is essentially Yeol’s character. That is what many people have a problem with. I’m sorry ur so swept away by the actor’s looks that you fail to recognise this.

I’m not saying Bunny or Ji Won are perfect but Yeol trying to beg his girlfriend from taking up an incredible career advancing potentially life changing opportunity is possessive and downright toxic. I feel sorry ur not able to recognise that being given an ultimatum to either give up a dream opportunity or give up your relationship is toxic.This dude didn’t even communicate to Bunny properly when he was with his ex and why did he keep on following his ex around. That’s his fault for not drawing clear boundaries. Also he acted so petty and didn’t even see her off from the airport in time and from the preview he doesn’t talk to her for a WHOLE year. Yeol is essentially a man child who needs to grow up. He also bullied her for the whole iPad situation when it wasn’t even entirely Bunny’s fault for it breaking. He expects her to text him every single time she comes home, it becomes borderline possessive. So many red flags when it comes to his personality.

Bunny and Yeol unfortunately but maybe they’re right for each other considering how toxic they both are

wow and this show just gets worse and worse after episodes 9-10 my opinion of Yeol has just further deteriorated. Dude acts like such a baby when his girlfriend gets this incredible fully-funded opportunity to the US and tries to guilt trip her and prevent her from going when he knows how hard she worked for it and knows her family’s financial struggles. There’s controlling/possessive and then there’s Yeol. Honestly from the preview I’ve seen that the 4th boy FINALLY comes in for the last 2 episodes probably to just be humiliated whilst Bunny idiotically goes back to toxic Yeol. Idk if I can bare to see that. Anyone watching the show if you’ve made it this far please drop it. This show sends out such toxic messages, genuinely hope people are not influenced by it.

Hwan Jae Yeol (the ml) is honestly toxic yet we are meant to ship him and Bunny together. This dude bullies her, is overly possessive of her even by K drama standards, runs to his ex constantly, kisses her for the first time in front of his ex just to desperately latch onto her, lacks communication skills whenever Bunny asks him a question, barely makes any effort with her friends unlike Ji Won and genuinely has 0 personality.
I know she clearly doesn't end up with Ji Won from Lee Chae Min being presented as the ml but he is a much better guy for Bunny. Dude is actually wholesome, kind, cares for his sister, interacts with Bunny's friends, drives her around everywhere and always cheers her up.
I'm honestly done with the toxic ML always getting the girl.
The story essentially has no substance after a while.
Would not recommend. Tbh Lee Chae Min and Roh Jeong Eui really need to start choosing better dramas cause their acting isn't awful it's the scripts that suck.
