This never happened.
The story was invented by this guy's agency, written (badly) by AI or one of the agency's human droids, then passed along verbatim by our resident journalistic genius, Lily Alice, who may or may not be a bot herself. The photographs were taken and provided by the agency.

Why would this guy issue his "polite refusal," then stop to amiably pose for photographs? lol

That's a nose job, by the way.

Well, except I think an AI bot would use more coherent grammar and sentence structure, no? :) This reads like classic Lily Alice to me. :D

Thanks.

You're less than intelligent...buddy.
I never asked for a rom-com or a porn movie.
That's your near-intellectually disabled take on what I DID ask for, but whatever.

Please don't respond until you've worked on your English as a Tenth Language exercises. You're near-incomprehensible...buddy.

Like I said, you're dense.

I NEVER "literally" wrote that they SHOULD have "added a kissing scene or even a sex scene."
Of course, that's an option, but I also wrote about other choices the writer could have made. "Should" implies that's the only possible recourse, which is not the case, and not what I wrote.
I also never said, "a relationship on screen ALWAYS has to show the viewer those scenes to make a romantic relationship work."

You're skimming the surface of my comments with a chip on your shoulder, then responding to what you've cherry-picked.

To clarify something, did you mean to say up above that DM and EA are mentally unstable?

The way you feel about DM at this point is the way you're supposed to feel.
Many of his colleagues in the "8 Group" or whatever it is, feel just as you do.
All you've seen so far is that DM is loud, obnoxious, insulting, opinionated, arrogant, and constantly belittling other people and their work.
There is a LOT of DM you have yet to see.
Trust me, keep going.

Well, my parents are dead, so watching intimate scenes with them would be difficult.
Were they alive, yes, I absolutely would watch a film or drama with "intimate" scenes in it.
We would be three adults watching a film for adults.
What would be the problem with that?

Would I watch pornography with them?
No. But we're not talking about porn here.
Generally, when I watch porn, I'm masturbating, so that would be...awkward.

Deeply lame...buddy.

Either you're dense or you're deliberately misconstruing what I've written all over this comment section making my perspective clear.

No one, least of all me, asked for a fucking "romcom." That's you lying.

Ok, so either you're dense, dishonest, a liar, or all three.
Thus, I'll waste no further time responding to you.

My comment was made 100% tongue-in-cheek.

But, I absolutely CAN imagine a close/best friend of another close/best friend doing the sweater thing. There was nothing necessarily romantic about it. It was loving.

Yeah, so they were very good friends, right?

Give it a rest.
I wasn't thinking "of typical romance genres," as I've repeatedly made clear. That was the last thing on my mind.
And, unlike you, I don't rely on "genre" tags to tell me how to perceive a movie or drama. I depend on what's on the screen to tell me that.
"Non-rom." Is that a genre? Be sure to check for that tag before watching your next show.
Otherwise, how will you know how to feel about it?

Also, lame...kiddo.

The bit with the sweater was one of the most beautiful moments in the show.
I agree there was no romantic energy between the leads, if I understand you correctly.
I said elsewhere that it would have felt weird for these two characters, as presented and acted, to make out. That vibe just wasn't there.

Also lame...kiddo.

Lame...kiddo.

"Some of you are going crazy about actual romcoms and forget that REAL ROMANCE is not about "I love you" or kissing scenes."

No one in this thread has "gone crazy," (you're taking care of that on your own) demanding a typical, stupid kdrama romcom. Not one single person. Stop making stuff up to respond to.
Is there some rule I'm unaware of, by which Kdrama romances can't include beautiful, emotionally intimate scenes AND physically intimate scenes, even if it's just a peck on the cheek and holding hands?

"Dongman and Euna had much more intimate scenes in a single episode than most romcom couples in more than 10."

DM and EA had more emotionally/psychologically intimate scenes, yes, absolutely.
Romantic? Not so much.
DM did, however, deliver to EA that glorious soliloquy in which he said he would name everything in the world "Eun Ah." It was beautiful. I teared up.
Then they shook hands, said goodnight, and went their separate ways for the night.
This is not what people in real life do, especially over many months.

If the writer wants them to NOT be physically intimate, it's not too much to ask that she let her audience in on why these characters aren't going that way.

Are they both asexual? OK, that's valid. Was EA molested as a child? That's valid, too. Is DM impotent? Also valid. Then Show. Us. About. It.

I felt "My Mister" dragged in many places and could easily have been cut by four episodes.
The onus is on the writer and director: They know they have twelve episodes going in, so they should have made cuts earlier so the last two eps wouldn't have to be a frenzied tying off of loose ends.

In this case, the brother's entire side story could have been cut. It was intriguing but went nowhere.

Since you're so concerned about the MDL commenters' code of conduct above, perhaps you should read it again. It requires that commenters treat others with "respect."

Your last comment above is psycho-confrontational and full of insults, you big baby.
That doesn't seem very respectful to me.

Go moan at someone else about your hurt feelings.

Oh, and also...maybe touch ass, I mean grass, yourself, cupcake.
oops! There was another bad word.
Run to the mods.

Sounds good!
