On one hand they acknowledge that Yoo is deeply unwell, and has been so for a long time. They acknowledge that he has been severely depressed and sleep-deprived for years and that the Propofol use was a desperate attempt to deal with that. They acknowledge he received the drug from DOCTORS IN A HOSPITAL SETTING. On the other hand, they punish him as if he were a drug dealer/pusher from the alleyways of Seoul.
He is an addict who needs treatment, not prison. The Korean justice system (lol) is a perversion, completely over-the-top when it comes to drugs. Meanwhile, Korea has the highest rate of alcoholism in the entire world. ALCOHOL IS A DRUG. Tonight, thousands will vomit in the alleys of Gangnam. Alcohol abuse costs the economy BILLIONS of $$$ every year. But that's OK, that's all good. Madness.
They have ended the career of the finest young actor in Korea. I fear for his life in prison. Not from another prisoner, but at his own hand. Korea loves to drive its finest to despair and suicide. I hope his lawyers will appeal and fight for a reduced sentence.
I am sick at heart.
In case Yoo is allowed Internet access in prison and stumbles across MDL: "International fans who know this is an injustice love and support you, Yoo! Do your treatment, keep your head down and come to America when you get out. Hollywood will embrace you. The public will not condemn you. I wish you had fled to my country before Korean prosecutors and judges had a chance to throw you behind bars, treating you harshly for publicity to make themselves look good in the eyes of the alcoholic Korean public. Many hugs to you."
Well imaginate to be called ugly by even your boss, I mean Yang Hyun Suk called all 2NE1 members as ugly, they've…
I'm talking about the fact that it is BAD plastic surgery. If she paid for it herself, apparently she went cheap. She looks like she's made of plastic, not like a living human. Just awful.
It's not just idols, as I said. Korea has the highest rate of the population who have plastic surgery, most of it "double eyelid" surgery. Which is ridiculous because those who have it done look no more Caucasian than they did before, they just look slightly different. How sad to want to erase your genetic origins from your face. This is especially bizarre to me because I see Asians in general as the most beautiful people on Earth.
There are a few weaknesses in the physical action scenes that could have been fixed, but this film worked for me. I don't generally get into "magical realism" such as this, but I was riveted throughout and moved to tears several times, especially at their reunion and again at the end.
The entire time I was screaming "TAKE A DNA TEST" and facepalming at that stupidity but the movie somehow still…
There were a number of plot weaknesses and I don't generally buy into magical realism like this, but the movie worked for me. I came to tears at least three times throughout. Kang Dong Wan is a great actor, as is the young girl.
lmao that one random nameless side police character was like "why don't we just test his DNA" yes that would solve…
But whose dna would they compare his to, to prove he was the kid? He's an orphan with no relatives. Maybe find something that belonged to the kid at the orphanage and try to obtain some dna off of that? That might work, I guess...
I don't trust or generally like people who throw around the word "immoral" as if their perspective on the world is all-knowing and all-righteous. By your standards, what she did in dating one friend who she knew did not romantically like her, while also knowing that the two boys were attracted to each other, is also dishonest and "immoral."
As for "cheating," I find it difficult to take that word seriously in this situation. They "dated" for ONE week, and never had sex. What's there to "cheat" on?
How about they're young human beings who made mistakes and whose judgment is not always sound, just like most adults? But it's a lot more self-satisfying to condemn them as "immoral," isn't it?
Did you know cheating happens in real life? I agree, however, that these three little series are largely identical…
JeongRi is a great natural actor. He conveys incredible levels of feeling with just his eyes/face/body language. The little guy is pretty but absolutely boring to watch.
ikr if they really cared about her they would have chased after her instead of just staying back just goes to…
Well, what makes characters like her pathetic is that they convince themselves it's of no relevance that the guy they want is freaking GAY. lol If she had the correct genitalia, she might have a chance, but she doesn't, at least as far as we know. Maybe she's pre-op trans, and that's why she thinks she has a chance.
ikr if they really cared about her they would have chased after her instead of just staying back just goes to…
He DID give her false hope, but it was as obvious as could be that he was simply using her to make Jeongha jealous. She made it clear through that pathetic dialogue about "knowing" Daeyong didn't love her. I'm not saying Daeyong is faultless here, but it takes two to create a situation like that. And she was willing to play the dupe.
No. The first two episodes had a few more moments of making out, nothing hot.
Seriously, the "uncut" version of one of the early episodes I saw had about 45 extra seconds of making out, and we saw their shirts come off, then it faded to black. No hot sex, or anything else worth $3 a month.
Like fr I’m getting so annoyed with it. I’m like so pissed rn after watching it. I’m also getting so stressed
I would argue that there are a LOT of people in the world who would do what you tell me daeyong has done (I haven't seen that episode yet), and for them it would be the most natural thing in the world to react that way.
You may be falling into the trap of assuming that because a behavior is PORTRAYED in a show, it is being CONDONED by the show. I don't agree with that at all. Of course, what you describe in a lousy behavior, but a great many people act that way. Donghae IS extremely self-controlled and coolly non-reactive. I could see him letting a kiss like that happen, but not reacting to it until it's over. No need to freak out and physically resist, perhaps. Just let it pass, then address it. In fact, a non-reaction to such a move might be a stronger statement of one's position, as in "Your kiss means so little to me that I don't even have a feeling one way or the other about it."
People often strongly over-react to things because in their heart it's exactly what they want, though they don't want anyone to know that. It's a form of projection.

GREAT special effects. Nothing looked fake.
