Amazing acting in one hit after another, he should be included in Forbes power list for sure: Squid Game, Shark the beginning, Midnight, Bad and Crazy, and even in support role like in 18 Again.
Why didn't you do a research on Why woman trying to marry older men?Facts, * To stabilize in financial states…
I just gave some real life examples to your comments. But since it seems you are truly invested in this celebrity couple and their age gap. please note that this chat is not meant to elaborate on this type of issues, since there are other forums and sociology and psychology websites which deal with this, and for different cultures (western, south asian, arabic, etc). On my part, I won't engage further than my real life examples, not only because, I repeat, this is not the place to vent those opinions, but also because I believe each person's way of life and their choices should ALWAYS be respected and NEVER be judged by other people. Have a happy day :)
Nothing Wrong, But sooner or later, chaos are waiting( Hey!!! Just a Fact though) Don't get angry with me, I like…
Apollo37, I just replied to you in another comment. Here is what I wrote before: Generations change, grow, adapt. According to news and surveys, most millennials only go for what their hearts tell them to, not only about money and career but also about partners. In my circle of colleagues and friends (some in the US, some in Europe, some in Latin America) there are 6 couples of older women (all in their thirties) with younger guys, and 1 where the guy is 15 years older than the girl. Three couples are married, 3 living together. They don't need a guy to give them financial stability; that was probably true for my grandmother's generation, because even the majority of baby-boomers women worked. And men never mature, they change their toys for more expensive ones when they grow up. In fact what I love about them is their straightforward and playful ways that sooner or later reveal how adorable childlike they are. Have you seen a group of mature men playing anything? Don't let me start with video games. If you have lived with your father long enough, you know what I mean lol

This was accepted as the country entry from Turkey for consideration for the Oscar for best foreign language film. It won Cannes golden palm plus other 18 awards and 11 nominations.
35% of "9-10"ratings are from 13 years-old to 17 years-old...
What I mean is that a large portion of high ratings are from its target audience who loved it. I'm currently watching it (episode 4) and I'm not a teenager, but I'm liking it too.
Someone spoiled who she ends up with for me.🙁Now I'm struggling.
I suggest changing perspective and watch it to witness how Sung Hwan and Deok Sun fell in love in real life, they've been dating since the drama ended.
As a Kenyan currently in Nairobi I respect your opinion but I think people are justified in calling out the drama…
I also thought that they should mention the country, back when I watched You're Beautiful. Then I watched Sh**ting Stars and again, no country was mentioned. As an economist, I got curious and after I researched a little, it's my (very personal) guess that the korean showbusiness would not choose to go specific about countries. If you have time, I got you these 2 links (one about sub-saharan and the other about africa in general) that showcase the delicate balance of the (recent from 2006) relationship that south korea is aiming for: https://www.csis.org/analysis/south-koreas-evolving-role-sub-saharan-africa
I'd like to say something about all those many comments about the first episode with the ML going to Africa. I think that part of the plot would seem normal to the screenwriter, because South Korea has been for many years in the 'top 15 countries in the world' with the most number of volunteers abroad (21 out of 100 south koreans volunteer abroad), so I believe that those scenes were written to show a side of the ML.
And about portraying Africa as needing volunteers because of poverty, the girlfriend of my son just came back from Nairobi, Kenya where she was volunteer for 2 months for poor small kids. And Kenya has the 7th largest GDP in Africa (US$ 114 billion) and she was in a group of 31 volunteers from all around the world sent to Nairobi. I repeat, to Nairobi, the capital of the 7th richest country in Africa, which is not even one of the African countries with the most volunteer programs to 'Alleviate' poverty and resources problems . The top 10 world countries with the most volunteer programs include 4 African countries: South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda and Ghana. Of the 27 countries currently ranked by World Bank as the very poorest countries in the world, 23 are located in Africa. Africa also includes 21 of the world's 55 Lowest Middle Income countries.
This explains why volunteers go there, despite the fact that Africa has great cities, middle and high income families, etc.
By the way, I'm from Latin America, and it doesn't bother me at all that we're always portrayed in movies and dramas as poor despite the fact that we do have very modern cities, infrastructure, etc, because the truth is that the majority of our people are poor. We cannot afford pride. We want as much awareness as possible and as many volunteering programs as possible to help us, since our governments are either corrupt, or lack resources.
