Same. The "mistress" is not easy. If she's Stella, it means she's been in Korea for at least 10 years.…
Yep, he was targetted. But it's odd because Stella is supposed to be a US asset.
Maybe they already knew John's character is close to an Assemblyman and wants to keep tabs if they're sharing information?
And the moment he was contacted, that was when they labeled him a spy? And it was Stella/mistress who filed the report? Probably even orchestrated the assassination?
From the looks of it, they did work with a real US-based production to get everything properly. The dialogues…
Yep! I hope it becomes the norm. Instead of the usual practice of just hiring a local foreigner who they won't even ask if their translation and scene is correct. π
So normally watching Korean, or even British and Canadian tv it's always a game of "spot the actor you know…
I think Disney was the first to actually hire veteran American actors? Even the script for the US side were locally written. And the scenes were clearly made by an American production company.
I hope this becomes the norm. At least as long as the quality is at par or better.
It's a good thing Filipinos are not here in MDL, after reading those comments from a few days ago, there would've…
I mean, seriously, the Philippines is the β1 country in Kdramaland that is often portrayed negatively. We just laugh at it and still watch.
π€ͺ
Oh, we did file complaints at the diplomatic level too, multiple times. But not much changed.
At the end of the day, it is fiction.
However, we expect the same with their own. So, when a certain show was cancelled because it was "historically inaccurate", Filipinos told Koreans "it is fiction, don't you people know what fiction is? If you want historically accurate shows, watch a documentary!" The Koreans tried to defind themselves with, "it's our history, our culture". Which of course Filipinos also shut down with simple truths. π
Seriously, they kept painting our country negatively despite complaints on the diplomatic level. Little changes were seen. We understand, it is fiction. So we got back at them with "it is fiction" when they cancelled that Joseon zombie show a few years back. π€ͺ
When nothing changes at the diplomatic level. Just wait for an opportunity to let them taste their own medicine. Sometimes, fighting fire with fire is the best option. In this case, fight fiction woth fiction. If they react badly, tell them, "it's fiction" and remind them they did the same to your own country (multiple times).
If a man willing to wash your hair forever, marry him ASAP.
- I'll tie your shoes.
- Iron your clothes.
- Go shop with you in women's stores and sections. For me, men who are afraid entering women's stores and sections are not real men, especially if it is to accompany their woman.
- Carry your bag.
- You want to travel with your girl friends and having second thoughts if you should bring me along? No problem. Your friends are my friends.
- I'll even cook and drive if I know how. (But I don't. π€ͺ)
- I don't drink. Even if I do, I choose not to. I always act as the sober person in a group. Officemates, group dates, friends, whatever. I like it that way.
- Some suitor gave you flowers? I'll carry it for you. (Real incident. Some guy gave my ex flowers, I carried it for her. She was afraid and curious if I'll throw it. π She told me to throw it and here's what I said, "No. Bring it home, put it in a vase, smell it. Don't waste the flowers whose life has been cut short. Besides, people think I gave you flowers, so win-win." π€ͺ)
Seriously, I don't understand guys who throw flowers or gifts their woman received from another. It does nothing good and it is a waste. They gave a perfume? Use it or sell it! Flowers? Carry it, don't be an arse by throwing it (and making a huge fuss publicly too).
They gave a ring? Sell it! But if it was for a proposal, don't, she'll kill you. π€ͺ Better luck next time.
I want to know why they are after Seo Munju???!!! They through so much of efforts just to kill her!
Yeah. That is lingering in my mind as well. The US is capable of manipulating social media, they did that in the Philippines during COVID in 2020, the US President and Pentagon were behind all the anti-vaccine propaganda in the Philippines in an effort to undermine China's good grace in providing free vaccines to the Philippines. The US didn't like China giving free vaccines to the Philippines.
That's real history. It's fact. The US and Pentagon admitted to all of it when they were caught.
If they're capable of that, why are they resorting to assassinations and bombings just to elimate a Presidential candidate? That level of response is reserved so super highly valuable targets that you must 10000000% guarantee is eliminated.
What do they think she supposedly know that it warrants terrorism?
Then again, the US as doing terrorism in other countries, even their own "allies", is nothing new.
The "mistress" coming out of the woodwork when the secret phone is found is either significant or very…
Same. The "mistress" is not easy. If she's Stella, it means she's been in Korea for at least 10 years. So, she should be closer to the FL's age than meets the eye.
But at the same time, she probably was just distraction. Maybe the real deal was something in that house, or, just to build up the FL's unfulfilled dreams.
you guys im cryinggggg the americans can actually ACTTTππ just for that alone the show should be rated 10…
From the looks of it, they did work with a real US-based production to get everything properly. The dialogues are native American style, not a translation. They also hired veteran and top Hollywood actors who often plays the same roles.
1. A few years before the US started their illegal invasion of Iraq, the Mossad (Israeli Intelligence) repeatedly…
Yep, at least based on the Snowden files and the other leaks that came later. The US is still insisting their intel were accurate, so they acted for the best interest of the world.
They'd rather protect the reputation of their intelligence network than admit it was bad intel and get away with it.
People acting like Mr Queen is the OG/standard for every cooking or transmigration drama when it's not. I'm tired.…
They're a new generation of Kdrama fans who got into it because of Mr. Queen.
It is the only reference they know. They probably won't watch Jewel in the Palace because it was long. Or, any of the other better benchmark than Mr. Queen because "it's old" for them.
Just tell them they should watch this and that, and how Mr. Queen is not the benchmark for this type of shows. It's why I often mention Jewel in the Palace and ChΕ«ka Ichiban (Cooking Master Boy). Those two are perfect benchmarks for Bon Appetit, Your Majesty.
1. If you want to know the FL's backstory before she studied in France 2. If you want to know why she is not interested in the King 3. If you want to know why she is desperate to return to her own time
Yes, but many who watch K-drama often assume everything is fiction.
And those who worships the US always don't believe anything that contradicts their beliefs. (I know a lot of people like that personally, it's fun to debate them. π)

They sure did spend to hire foreign veteran actors instead of the usual hiring a foreigner in Korea to play anither foreign character.
