Wow. I was not impressed by Kouhei Higuchi's acting in My Personal Weatherman (tbh it was likely the character's…
I agree that KH did the best he could with the script/character in MPW. I thought his acting in that was fine. I liked the show a lot at first, but after episode 2 or so it fell apart for me. I slogged through to the end.
I'm glad I saw your comment, as I wouldn't have realized that was the actor I was seeing here without checking his bio. The scene you mention above floored me, too. My impression, however, was that he was not "jokingly" telling the novelist the truth, but that it was pouring out of him almost involuntarily as he broke under the stress and heartbreak of the circumstances. It was when he tried to take it all back that he pretended to joke, but by then it was too late, of course.

Understood and all's well. Thanks for the clarifications.
There is a way to find all of Lily's trash articles in one place. I've seen others post a link to where they are listed. If I can figure out how to find that, I will forward it to you.
I've never beheld the full list myself; just seen her post one after another after another on the front page and began ragging on her about two and a half years ago, after the suicide of the young kpop star Moonbin, followed by that of acting legend Lee Sun Kyun.
I've even emailed MDL mods/editors about her filth, but of course they do nothing, including not responding at all. I'm guessing they like the clicks her garbage garners, regardless of any human cost they entail.
Edit: I didn't have a first negative impression of you overall, just the remark about Lily. That bit stirred me up because it felt like a perfect example of the passive acceptance/grace readers in general grant celeb trash "news" and the cretins who disseminate it. It really is amazing how, even in this horrific Internet age, when anything at all can be made to sound, and with AI, even LOOK like it's for real, most people still don't regard everything with a skeptical eye.
Just note the way commenters under Lily's articles, and it's ALWAYS Lily here, even those who downplay the importance of what's being shared, generally accept the contents as if they just sort of appeared by magic rather than as a deliberate choice made by a specific person, the "writer."

Weird that you think I'm obligated to address your "larger picture," when my original reply to you very specifically targeted your giving Lily Malice a pass on her rumor-mongering, and nothing else.
I have never seen Jin in anything. Never heard her name until Lily's trash articles popped up. Lily trashes LOTS of celebrities. It's her overall fact-free celeb-trashing that leads to suicides that I abhor, not her attacking Jin, in particular. Jin is just the latest to find herself in Lily's claws.

Did you find that in the Great Big Dictionary of Useless Words?
Higuchi Kouhei is phenomenal.
Glad to have stumbled across it today.

I will hunt down the novel.
