It's a marketing strategy. They see dragging out the releases as a tactic to increase word-of-mouth and screen-to-screen publicity, thus increasing viewership. It must work, as the once-a-week thing is becoming standard. I long for the days when all eps would drop at once.
One episode in and you’ve already written a dissertation on why you’re miserable. Maybe the series isn’t…
Or, the problem could be dumbasses in the audience who think five bullet points is a dissertation, because their brains have shriveled to the size of peas.

With the internet a permanent feature of our lives, toxic fan culture isn't going away anytime soon. It brings out and magnifies the worst in most people. There have been "scandals," rumors, hateful media coverage, etc., ever since people began entertaining other people thousands of years ago, but now it's all multiplied by a factor of 1,000.
If I looked at Weibo, I'd probably lose my mind. I'm older than dirt, so I knew fan culture before and after the Internet. What it has done to us is horrifying.
The Killer Knetz Kommentz below are a prime example of the sick, parasocial relationships Koreans and others form with celebs. Even sicker is how the celebs, their agencies, and the media feed the disease.
What's interesting to me is how personally commenters are taking this news, as if they know these two celebrities…
It's a classic element of Korean fans' parasocial relationships with K-celebs, and the commenters here have zero self-awareness about it. It's also part of what leads to shit like celebrity suicides.
He probably got tired of her one facial expression, the one she uses in all her dramas. Happy, sad, frustrated, angry, elated, it was always the same look and he just couldn't take it anymore. That's what "sources" "allegedly" "reported," anyway.
It is so weird that Korean talent agencies make formal announcements about their actors/idols' private lives. All I want to know is when they'll be releasing their sex tapes.
Episode 1: Sun holds his cig like a lady. Am I going to have to look at that cheap-ass 1990s JP wig through nine more episodes? Are his lips real, or is that collagen? Thai BLs never disappoint with the amateur acting. Nor do the commenters here, always expecting the adaptation to follow the source material, word for word. lol
Taakaki is the opposite of a "simp."He is doing exactly what he chooses to do because he wants it that…
What you're experiencing here in being confronted with your neuroses is reality. Aggression is what you experience when your dom is pounding you at night. Notice and remember the difference. Lying repeatedly in the face of embarrassment is an unhealthy reaction, but one that can be resolved by not doing it anymore.
You're more full of shit than I am, and that's saying something.

That's kind of you.

A common rhetorical tactic of fangirls who see only what they want to see.

Maybe be concerned about yourself.

You: "notice not a single pronoun in the original comment"
Your original comment: "they" (pronoun) "I" (pronoun) "you" (pronoun)
In addition to being a terrible liar, you are a terrible bull/horse-shitter.
I'd ask you to tell your dom to beat you extra severely tonight, but you'd like that, so I won't.
