check juvenile justice.

well, current times are where one is supposed to laugh things off over others' antics.
i see it as cost of un-restrained freedom in public.

Freedon should be individual act in one's own space, and not force others to bear their antics in the name of personal freedom.

and all in the name of freedom, and then accusing others of not having open mind.

You can say that current era is the time of perceived "non-seriousness" behaviour where one is supposed to laugh things off at others' antics.

two things:

1- this is about cluture which is independent of religion in general, and islam in particular. You assuming this is culture of dress code of islam religion precisely shows your lack of knolwedge about social understanding.

2- you should study islam as religion and then have some opinion. In fact, it applies for all religions. Marely spaculating things just for the sake of comment is what makes things bad and dangerous in first place.

tbh i just can't image him being a serious and action-oriented actor. may be my prejudice against him cuz i watched his romance series before

the reason i was about to drop the series.
ML just doesn't have vibe to do acting in serious tv series

was about to drop it when saw park bo gum on screen.
He is good actor, however, he is just not cut out for actions series.

i agree. i wonder what happened to kdrama after 2018.
now kdrama are all ragtag romance as if they are trying to copy crappy chinese romance drama.

there are only 3 cdrama i have ever liked: nirvana in fire, meet yourself, and the story of xing fu. all others are i disliked

well, i strongly deny your remarks about kdrama being inferior to cdrama.

it is the opposite!

kdrama have solid plot, solid and non-cringe acting and good pace.

cdrama are full sith cringy acting, bad plot, and inconsistent flow.

i actually agree with you. though the acting, directing for this drama are much better than those being released in korean maistream dramas since 2022-now, they pale in comparison against six flying dragons, kingdom tv series.

well, for a chinese drama, it was of good enough length because i got the glimpse of social life and culture a bit better. though the culture and social life shown was close to ideal(real life may not happen, though i myself haven't visited china), it still gave me good insights to things that may improve a society as whole

it was better than other chinese dramas because it actually had some central idea for plot to revolve around.

there was excellent balance among romance, social issues depiction, side-characters development with no overwhelming focus on any single thing.

one reason i liked it because its romance was light and you could actually believe that such romance can happen in real life: not too cheezy or over-sweet, but excellent blend of reality and romance.

well, will you recommend some? i tried but couldn't find any

i dropped it

what about drama itself? is it worth watching?

for me, encounter went boring after 12 episodes. they stretched it too far.

well, i am also on 8 ep, but one thing i agree upon with others is that the music is terribly unsuitable for the drama.

well, i don't know what gave it high rating because i dropped it after first few episodes.
To me, it felt like a drama with un-natural acting, totally opposite of the likes of Nirvana in Fire, and some k-drama series.
No doubt the cast itself is all famous actors, but the drama itself; can't give any positive opinions because it did not feel natural

i would disagree. i have watched english tv series, and the only tv series of this generation i liked was bbc comedy named "Ghosts". Otherwise, no english tv series reach anywhere near k-series in terms of story, and the acting.
