He said he didn't know she was under age the first time they had sex and the court believed him. He did NOT rape or sexually assault this person. He was never charged, tried or convicted oof any such thing. You are a liar. Oh, and she was a prostitute under the law which convicted him.

The question is WHY, since he has been punished and paid his debt to society, never had any legal problems in 22 years, and went ten years without finding work in the industry, you are still obsessed with criticizing this man. You should be praising him and any other convicted offender who turns their life around. He's a great example of how the rehabilitation process should work. Instead, you have a revealing need to trash him all these years later

"Model citizen," as you would know if you could read, refers to his ACTIONS, not what's going on his head. Actions are more important than words, and especially thoughts. If a person lives a crime-free life for 22 freaking years, it's far past time for weirdos like you to stop obsessing about it. I'm wondering what YOUR sex-related hangups are, that you can't stop thinking about this.

Finally, you seem to suggest that people should be assumed to be committing crimes, rather than the opposite, which is that all are assumed innocent until proven guilty. This is what the judicial system is based on.

This man was on probation for several years, which means he was reporting to a parole office and being watched carefully. Plus, he has been under a microscope for 22 years. If he were committing crimes, there's a good chance we'd know about it. What crimes are YOU committing that we don't know about?

Get over yourself. He didn't "rape" anyone, which makes you a liar. The 17-year-old prostitute knew exactly what she was doing, give me a break.

It was TWENTY-TWO YEARS ago. He was punished and has been a model citizen ever since. He didn't get work for almost a DECADE. But no punishment is ever enough for blood-thirsty, self-righteous types like you.

Plus, he's a fantastic actor. Your sad, psychotic need to cancel imperfect people is far too common in Korea and the very reason Korean celebrities kill themselves right and left. We lost Lee Sun Kyun because of your type just months ago. I'm guessing you're angry LKY hasn't killed himself too so you can gloat over that.

I hope he lives to be a hundred and does lots more dramas and films just to piss you off.

Given that I like the actorJang Eui Soo a great deal, it's unfortunate I have to say this is a boring abomination. The other lead is a terrible actor.

5/10

Great third watch. This gets better every time.

Highly recommended. 9/10

lol What the hell are you talking about? The acting was excellent; they behaved like real people. I think the realistic acting went over your head.

I think you're on the wrong show page, cause your comment sure as hell doesn't apply to this drama. It's one of the best BL series around.

An insultingly stupid film. Red herrings right and left, people who act suspicious and make bizarre choices for the sole purpose of misdirecting the audience, cops who assemble crowds of hysterical townies to watch over their shoulders as they investigate, cops who send reporters to do what they should be doing, reporters who confront serial killers holding slaughterhouse killing tools in dark places instead of calling the police, just incredibly moronic stuff here.

Absolutely terrible.

1/10

In regard to the over-wrought comments below shrieking "gay-baiting!," how would deliberately marketing a film as gay, even before its opening, make sense? You'd be luring a few gay viewers in early but then word would spread and the gay audience would dry up quickly. Meanwhile, you've lost a lot of the MUCH larger straight audience, even non-homophobes, who might just not be interested in a gay romance...from a marketing perspective, this is ass-backward (if true).

Perhaps it's been teased as gay in gay media and advertising? Regarding the poster, there are a shit-ton of very NOT-gay films on MDL with posters featuring two dudes facing each other in various permutations. Are they all gay-baiting?

MDLers with political/social agendas need to get a grip. Nothing featuring Fandy can be less than a 9/10. :D

"...biggest queerbaiting scandal of the 21st century." lol "...queer committee..." lol

Have you seen it?
If so, in what way is it "queer bait?"
If you haven't seen it, why did you write this bombastic comment?
It sounds like it didn't fit your political/social agenda, so you're trashing it regardless of anything else.
If you did watch it, where did you watch it so I can judge the film for myself?
Am I correct that you're one of the people who deliberately down-rated this film?

Then there's the simple fact that any flick starring Fandy Fan cannot possibly be rated less than a 9/10.

have you seen it?

I found it terrible and dropped it, but I'm wondering what this person means by their statement.

It's terrible. A few suspenseful moments, but the plot is full of holes and on multiple occasions relies on gross stupidity and absurd choices to make things move along. I dropped it with 30 minutes to go. It got so lame I couldn't bear to continue watching.

I hate that Lee Young Hoon somehow got sucked into this awful thing.

4/10 for the cinematography and the makeup near the end, otherwise, it would be 1/10

What does "waiting for the tea" mean?

I liked him best, I think, in Moonlight Chicken. He was good in Waterboys too. But just yesterday I caught a glimpse of Earth and Mix's "Earth-Space Special" TV show...omg...I was horrified at how stupid it was and embarrassed for both of them.

Well, here the focus is on four different couplings, with differing levels of screen time, but it works very well. Kudos to the director for keeping me interested in ALL of them.

Thank you for all your informative and beautifully written comments here. Such writing is a rare thing on MDL. Most members respond to more than three sentences with "lol, I'm not going to read all that." hahaha Morons.

Hi Ruhma. Thanks for your kind words. Why did you hide them? Do you fear being swarmed by a flock of LGs? :D Your English is great. I don't think I would have noticed it as your SL if you hadn't mentioned it. We Americans are SO lucky that English is the world's means of primary communication, as we are probably mostly too lazy to learn a second language on our own. Until I became interested in Asian cinema, dramas, and music, I was unaware of how profoundly people around the world are of what goes on in the U.S. as well.

I love my country, but there are a LOT of things wrong with it and bad about it that I wish I could change.

Thanks for saying hi.

P.S. I first saw Joo Jin Mo in one of the first gay-themed, Asian feature films I saw, "A Frozen Flower," and was blown away by the film and him. I quickly hunted down and watched every film starring him I could find, but have been mystified as to why he hasn't done more work over the last five years or so. Now I know. Sad.

I was spoofing all the Church Lady prudes who populate and dominate conversation surrounding anything sexual on MDL. But yeah, there are a few scenes where Mix is coming on to Earth in a way that made me weak in the knees.

omg...this is horrible. It's a badly-written/ad-libbed abomination of attempted cuteness that comes off as a horror-fest of cringe. Naturally, being such an awful thing, it's highly rated on MDL.

Lord, how embarrassing for Earth and Mix. They're good actors. It's unfortunate they live in Thailand.
