I don't understand why some people don't like sex scenes in kdrama and movie i am really getting excited to watch…
I do think kdramas are beginning to add these because Money Heist and One Ordinary Day are both kdramas but not like ordinary/regular kdramas. I just think it’s a matter of what’s directed at who so younger audiences or adults.
A lot of people here shocked by the erotic and disturbing scenes clearly never watched a korean movie before.…
I really appreciate you pointing this out. Maybe more viewers will see your comment and understand that there’s a difference between Kdramas and Kmovies(at least to me).
Over the last year that I've been on MDL I've come to believe its commentariat includes a large proportion of…
I don’t mean to disrespect (if I do, I apologize) but my understanding was that a kdrama and a Kmovie are different. There are a lot of Korean movies with sexual content and nudity some even dating back to the 90s so I just think kdramas differ in that sense but some kdramas are beginning to include those in their episodes these days.
Yes American shows are very often over sexualizing everything but Korean movies have their fair share of sexual content and nudity. So I think some kdramas definitely don’t fall under these categories and viewers can enjoy them without being bothered by that.
So the controversy should not hinder his work, as it is not something he did professionally. This is his personal…
I'm gonna probably sound clueless and maybe uneducated so anyone please teach me, but what I understand is a cheating scandal (which I saw he apologized publicly so he didn't deny it) was going to ruin his career? This is a bit crazy to me because I feel like the whole cheating situation in Korea is going overboard. It's not impossible to find people who will cheat on their spouses or partners so if he cheated on her and she decided to use this to "ruin" his career because he was wrong and didn't respect her enough and decided to cheat on her. I've seen people who work in the sport field get benched (wether a player or coach) for cheating and that makes sense, they need to sit the games out and get their ish together and reflect ont heir mistake but as someone who sees cheating regularly unfortunately and the people involved in it not get the proper punishment for what they did, this might serve him as a lesson especially as a celebrity.
I know of two celebrities (both artists) who were dating and the guy cheated on her which she she did come to her social media to slander him and say he was obviously very wrong for what he did and she deserved better but this was more of a conversation between her and her fans on a live. Of course, to save his career (I believe) he denied the cheating when she confronted him and after they broke up, he went about his singing career and that did not affect him in the slightest. I also think that a cheating scandal depends on the person who cheated's work. I feel like if an artist cheats, he or her career doesn't end because of the scandal however, if they are let's say a football player or work closely with sports players, they will have some descipline and will probably not be able to play or train for some time.
I don't like cheating and cannot stand it but I just wonder why it's this serious in Korea. I've only seen artists get "a pass" and continue on with their singing (of course not in Korea) but there's a long list of scandals that could be big enough to end someone's career. I don't know, but please someone elighten me of this subject in Korea.
I don't get how a "must fit in 16-20 episodes" model could be better than "the number of episodes it needs" model.…
I agree completely with you on this, however, I don’t think the whole “more seasons and episodes” is an American trope. I say this because, I tend to watch anything meaning from any country or culture and a lot of different countries have the more seasons or one seasons trop with a lot of episodes (20-30 etc) so I just think Korea might be wanting to do that too and serve people with more than just one season and episodes. This provides more viewers for the seasons rather than just a season with 16 episodes or (20 episodes for the kdramas that have this number of episodes). This is just my opinion.
I remember getting into kdramas in 2019 and seeing how they were different which I didn’t mind but I don’t mind more seasons because almost everything I watch has more seasons and episodes(not speaking of American shows here).
Omg not the bl I was expecting 😩 Felt so bad for the king …infact everyone 😭(Didn’t know a kdrama with…
The only kdrama I can think of that has sex and nudity is Somebody on Netflix. My understanding when I started watching kdramas in 2019 is that a kdrama is different from a kmovie. Korean movies with nudity and sex exist so it's normal to see stuff like that in a movie but for kdramas, it can come out as quite unsual (I think...)🫣.
I think that's the whole point...to show her as a disturbed child. She was hungry for love and affection and when…
I wish they had showed us what her family was like or if she even had family. She lived alone in the movie.
Edit—I rewatched it, she does have family. She’s the illegitimate daughter of some rich guy and he put her in an apartment and pays caregivers to cook for her and such but none of them are affectionate in the slightest so she doesn’t have any experience with love in anyway.

Once again, I completely agree with everything you said here. I believe it definitely had something to do with ‘God sees everything’ and the counselor would get what’s coming to him. I also think the red crosses have something to do with Christmas and maybe the red crosses were turned on because there was a Christmas service, at that moment in the film. It’s maybe highlighting the fact that the counselor also had no fear of God and was capable of taking advantage of Wol Woo even in the presence of God (here represented by the red cross). But yeah, I feel anyone can interpret the red crosses as they see them but it would be nice to hear the director/writer share what he was trying to do with that.
Wow, just…wow. I mean, if anyone thought Jinyoung was just a typical Kpop idol pretty boy wanna-be actor, they’re…
Definitely agree with you. Acting and story line were just wow🥺. It’s one of those (Imma watch this once cause there’s only so much I can take type of movies/shows). It made so sad and I wanted to literally save so many characters in the movie.
I also tend to watch too much dark themed Korean movies and now I’m questioning if that’s healthy? I really want to know if it’s wrong because I tend to watch thriller/mystery/suspense shows or movies with those themes but I think I also watch the ones coupled with crime/psychological and such. That sounds so gloomy. I like a bit of everything but I’m picky anyways so I don’t watch everything.

Also, do you have any idea what the red crosses stood for? I noticed it numerous times especially at the end when the screen goes dark and we only see a few small red crosses before they disappear.

I think you’re theory of the drawing is correct. I do believe the red triangle was to represent Santa’s red colored hat for the teacher. I’m also not sure if they do find out it’s the teacher that killed Wol Woo or not, I feel that it’s something they don’t have any doubts about at that moment when they are both smoking outside but we can interpret that the teacher also feels reassured that Il Woo isn’t aware but he might die in jail so he doesn’t get to come out after those 4 years.
