On edit: What's MOST disturbing is that you don't give a fuck if people kill themselves over trash like this. You likely think LSK DESERVED to die, am I right?

oooh, all-caps. I'm destroyed. ooooh, you said fucking but don't have the balls to spell it out....oooh, lame.
ooooh, I crown you the queen of the Korean Celebrity Suicide Machine.
Newsflash: Me not reading articles will not make them not be there. I will continue to bitch and moan and complain as long as trash like this keeps getting published. Don't like it? Don't read my comments, genius. I'll post when and where I want. If you want to read garbage/trash/rumors then you'll see me there bitching about it. So block me. Please block me. Knowing people like you read my writing makes my skin crawl.
What's most disturbing is how important it is to you that unproven crap and rumors and innuendoes about actors/idols gets published. Like I said, is your doctor or dentist a bully? Why don'jt you care? Wouldn't that matter more to your life?
The reason you like these articles is that they make you feel self-righteous and superior to people far more successful than you.

How many suicides of Korean artists do you want before considering that maybe it might be worth considering this type of "story" is unworthy of being reported? So she bullied someone in high school. So maybe she didn't? WTF cares now, except weirdos who give as much weight to stuff kids did 20 years ago as they do to what those kids-now-adults do NOW?
What the hell does "She's still an actress" mean? Why do actors/actresses have to have their childhood behavior rehashed endlessly any more than doctors and dentists do? Why wouldn't you be MORE concerned that your dentist was a bully than that some actress who doesn't stick needles in your mouth was? It's very simple: People, especially Koreans, love driving actors and idols to suicide. They live for it.
Finally, the commenter above just detailed the fact that MDL has NOT reported on the nominations for the Baeksang Awards, which took place a WEEK ago. Did you choose to not read that or what?
I'm curious: What nationality are you? Korean? Why do you think 20 year-old bullying allegations are something that is "going on" in the film business NOW? Have you heard of a dude named Lee Sun Kyun, who was harassed to suicide over false allegations of drug usage and publication of one hundred percent private conversations illegally leaked by the police? Does any of that bother you at all?
People are still going with the IU is a bad actress agenda? She received praises from the critics for her performance…
Could you clarify for me, as one of the many who feel IU is a bad actress, what my "agenda" is in feeling that way? I need to know so I can write it down.
I wanted to see this drama after I heard the news about LSK. hadn't seen anything he was in before so obviously…
The wiretapping was SUPPOSED to make you uncomfortable. Being uncomfortable is often a by-product of being "moved" and having "feelings," which is what dramas make you do.
QUESTION Would wiretapping from a cell phone that's in one’s jacket or pants' pocket capture people’s voices…
I was occasionally amused by the clarity with which the tap caught LSK's footfalls and breathing. lol I kept waiting for the sound of his heartbeat and liver function, not to mention gurgling bowel sounds.
Let's just say liberties were taken for dramatic effect.
Is anyone surprised that there was not a single article on MDL about the Baeksang Awards nominations that were…
No surprise at all. It's MDL. Made up scandals are much more fun than reporting on awards given out for high achievement. Destroying artists is a big-sell in Korea, rewarding them not so much.
news writers such as lo_ve prefer scandalous koreaboo type of articles instead of reporting on real news unfortunately
"news" writers like "lo_ve" aren't the biggest problem here. That would be the MDL editors and senior staff who allow this kind of crap to run.
I'm American. The tone of this sort of article and the statements put out by the Korean agencies in relation to them are downright cultish/creepy to me. There's a North Korean/authoritarian/psuedo-religious vibe to verbiage such as "...reflect on herself and become a better person..."
Note also the BS claim that the actress made her own choices to drop herself from projects, etc., when that is highly unlikely to be the case. Rather, she was almost certainly forced to do so. The parallels in mindset to both North Korean, Communist, thought-control and its mirror-image, South Korean, military dictatorship-style, self-criticism papers and such is downright freakish.
So that's TWO young Korean actresses currently being tortured over high school bullying accusations, two others being dragged for the crime of, you know, DATING, Yoo Ah In still being hounded and obsessed over for drug allegations, and all this in the wake of Lee Sun Kyun' s suicide just three months ago, from which the press, police and psycho fans learned nothing.
Oh, and let's not forget that yet ANOTHER 30-year-old K-popper Park Boram supposedly dropped dead out of the blue during a drinking party four days ago. Theo stories being published in relation to that are more about telling us to shut up and not speculate, than they are to getting to the bottom of what actually happened, which does not include anything put out in yet another platitudinous agency announcement, letting us know that yet another K-Pop star has gone to bea star in the sky to watch over us, making sure we know how heartbroken the agency is and oh btw, stfu.
One of the most bizarre things about kpop agency suspicious death announcements is how often they express "condolences" TO THE DEAD PERSON, rather than to her family and friends, so that her "soul may rest in peace." Condolences go to the survivors, not the dead for god's sake.
For the millionth time, all that matters to a live-action adaptation is what we see on the screen. All your references…
Using "literally" doesn't make you sound smarter.
Nothing you wrote contradicts anything in my comment. Adaptations can be whatever the writers and directors decide they will be in relation to the source material. And adaptation can be extremely faithful to the original, or it can be extremely different. "Adaptation" merely means the series is BASED ON the source, there is no law requiring it to "follow the novel."
In fact, there is no way any live-action adaptation can be a word-by-word on-screen version of the novel. If it were, it would be 325 episodes long.
I repeat: All that matters to the viewers of a series is what is presented on screen or in dialogue. If something isn't shown or mentioned, then for the purposes of the series, it didn't happen.
I think this is better, we get to deeply know the characters and see their romance. People who are complaining…
Work on reading comprehension.
My first sentence stands as written. I know what I'm talking about. I'm a gay man. Thus the "get over it." Most men, gay or straight are "shallow" when it comes to sex. Most gay sex is extra shallow because there are no women to get in the way of what goes down.
99% of Thai BLs suck. The last good one was Midnight Chicken, and that just barely. I have no idea where you get that I "like" Thai BLs. It's not the quick timeline to sex that is the problem in Thai BLs, it is that they are poorly written, directed, acted, and produced. What part of "...the usual Thai "oh you're my STEP-brother!" did you not get?
Your imagined "offense" on my part on behalf of the trash bin that is the Thai BL industry is way off base. Say whatever you want about them. You won't get an argument from me.
For ppl saying this is too much of a slow burn and nothing is happening except angst, y'all have to keep in mind…
For the millionth time, all that matters to a live-action adaptation is what we see on the screen. All your references to stuff from the novel that doesn't exist on screen is entirely irrelevant to the story we're seeing here.
Go post this comment on a discussion board about the NOVEL, where it would make sense.

Most gay guys DO fuck after three episodes IRL, or often after three hours. Get over it. The reason this is different is written into the scenario, with all the adoption/bros/family angle, but in a much more interesting way than the usual Thai "oh you're my STEP-brother!"

#2. Because MDL allows people to rate shows they haven't seen, which is bonkers.
#3. Repeat #1.

The hug and Yuan's little monologue about the "last words" he had written had me all teary again. This is an excellent BL.
But now there's blood... :(
