It doesn't matter because it's not true here. Yoon Eun Hye was on hiatus from acting long before her "scandal". She was often painting and doing art related activities. She also has managed to come back after the "scandal". So, saying that it stopped her from appearing now is contradictory to facts. I think the only reason she is not at her best is the fact her recent dramas are practically the same and are clichés, this will change once she finds a good unique project.
Also, I don't believe she's done plastic surgery. She absolutely looks the same to me except for her weight loss and fillers. Saying she lost her acting ability just because of that is ridiculous. Uhm Jung Hwa and Kim Hye Soo have one of the biggest lips I've ever seen, but are still loved as actresses. Maybe there are some cases where that had happened but it is not true here.
I don't agree with your opinion on her acting in Coffee Prince, I haven't seen an actress who does a gender-bender role better than her to this day. She is the only one who seriously acted like a woman who is trying to hide her identity, not trying to be cute while doing it, to the point that I actually thought at first that she was a boy since it was my first time seeing her. She was meh in Goong, that I'll give you, but it was her first drama after all.

Neither statements are true. There was a time when she went on a hiatus because of the controversy of plagiarism. No legal action has been taken (because nothing can be proved), so no problem there and she went back to star in a drama and appear on multiple talk shows after. It's ridiculous to say that she was canceled because of mere Internet talk. About your second statement, except for a lip filler and weight loss, she looks the same to me, but even if she did have plastic surgery as you claim, there are plenty of great actresses with plastic surgeries, you don't lose your talent just because of minor changes on your face. She looks the same as she looked 20 years ago except older and thinner.

I don't think you understood what I'm saying. I didn't say they felt responsible, and I didn't (at all) think it's an unreasonable question to ask, these are your words not mine. I'm just saying that either way it's a drama about a time in history where the Japanese were invaders (doing a bad thing), it's not a drama bashing on all Japanese people of all time, so it shouldn't matter. I don't agree with your first paragraph but I'll leave it at that, I don't want to start a discussion about this sensitive subject.

I don't think it's healthy to feel the blame for something that happened in the past to different people than you. Japanese invaders are portrayed in a bad light (as they should), but same with Nazis, it's not anti-German to call them out. I advise you to watch it with an open mind that those people are different from you, with different values and goals. We shouldn't carry the guilt of our ancestors, and we shouldn't feel offended if someone expressed hate towards them for their bad behavior.

This was a great drama. My favorite character is Ji Hee, Hee Soo's mother. Her father is a close second. I know she wasn't a main character, but I found her story moving and her personality charming. I wish they would discover the kid with the power to stop time in the next season. It's going to be creepy and quite scary to go against this kid, but I'm curious about how it's going to play out if they were to introduce him in the next season.

Maybe that's his power

I think it's because it's targeted to audience that hate watching anything with subtitles. Not going to specify a country, but there are some who only watch series with audio of their native language, and some whose native language isn't English but they don't have a subtitle in their own language. When I started watching Korean dramas, I used to pause sometimes to catch up on the English subtitles, I didn't know any Korean back then and English isn't my native language. It's hard to watch and read at the same time for beginners, that's why they simplify it. That and the fact that Disney is built for kids. Kids have harder time reading.

I'm not sure how he used to be, but he gained weight for the drama. Watch his episode of Gym Jong Kook on Youtube, apparently he loves working out.

I think there are plenty of those around. I liked having all these seasoned actors in one drama. I also don't think people in their 40s are that old, especially at these times. They are not bad looking either, but everyone has their own standards I guess.

Maybe they will explain this as a flashback later on. If not, they must've added his character for comedic affects and they will only be using him as a tool to help the main characters. That would be disappointing though. His story of how he became Thunder Man was very interesting and sad.

Yeah, him too, but I only watched the first episode and he wasn't on often. It's hard not to notice the female lead though.

Thanks. I'll keep watching then.

Thank you. The ending of the episode worried me, with the girl mentioning the friend's name, and the friend returning to the library to ask her about her name. I don't want that poor shy boy to get hurt.

I'm planning to watch it. I only knew about it from this article, but reading the synopsis, I thought it was much more interesting than Hometown Cha Cha Cha. Love the reason why she left the city. It sounds more touching.

I don't like the acting in this, especially the female lead's.

Thanks, I missed it, Netflix skips it automatically for some reason. Useless epilogue though. They should've revealed something interesting, but they wasted it.

I just finished the first episode and I feel really bad for Kang Hoon's character and really disgusted by the "friend". I'm not really in a mindset that allows me to watch "friends" betray each other. If you watched the whole series, please tell me (in a spoiler tag) if this betrayal will be justified with a good reason (no need to specify it), and not the awful "I was trying to get you closer to her but we fell in love with each other" bs, because I cannot find it in me to forgive that. A friend wouldn't do that to another.

Could you please recommend dramas with "deep and golden conversations about life", because I love those too. I still can't forget The Lunchbox and Il Mare. I keep looking for something like this but I always end up with shallow love stories.

I didn't watch Meet Yourself, I only watched Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, but I agree that it's silly to withdraw an award just because there is some talk online. I can't tell if there was plagiarism, but I came across a lot of online complaints about plagiarism when there wasn't any. I think common people take this word lightly, so if it is somehow a little similar to something else it's plagiarized, it reached the point where they would say something is plagiarized even when it's a cliché. "the constant appearance of the male lead whenever the female lead faces trouble in the village" for example is the basis of every drama/movie there is. It's idiotic to say that helping a damsel in distress can be copyrighted. Unless the "original" show files a complaint, and a committee of experts decide that something is plagiarized, they shouldn't prevent a show from getting an award they deserve.

No, Frank left him and went after Jang Joo Won.
