I'm confused. Is this supposed to be a big number or a small one? Because I've definitely seen dramas where the…
There is no equivalent title because her father didn't have the tittle of a king or a prince. He father and her aunt were related to the emperor by marriage and not by blood.

Her father though was a duke in his own right. So she was a Lady by blood but not a princess.

The English equivalent it would be Lady A' Wu. The tittle and her given name.
The women that inherit a tittle from their father put the tittle before their given name.
Those who get a tittle by marriage put the tittle before their husbands family name.

And same applies to the princesses. Kate MIddleton when she is not addressed with her family name is called Lady Windsor. ( wife of William Windsor who is a Duke) and Duchess of Cambridge ( as a tittle of honor because they got this tittle when they got married). He is a prince by blood and he can inherit the tittle to his children but she can't claim the tittle of the princess.

The agency stated that she passed away suddenly, so no one knows the reason 😔
Yeap... In my country we are on the third doses and young people die like flies. But nobody is mentioning this on the media because the media were paid with 80 millions by the government.

They conspire to cover up the deaths caused by the other "thing" too btw. The thing that some were forced to take in multiple doses like they are junkies or something.
Also if it comes out that she died from suicide then we are all accomplices to her death by the time that we all keep up watching and supporting with our views this sort of entertainment industry.
Saying RIP doesn't make any justice to those who took their own lives because they were exploited by the S. Korean entertainment industry.
It needs other measures as for example to boycott S.Korean dramas.

It depends what the term "suicide " means in such cases! Technically if you do "willingly" something dangerous , you commit an act of "suicide". No one forced with physical violence anyone to do anything after all. But violence on the other hand has many different forms.

We call it suddenly- nitis in my country. 300 people mostly under thirty years old have died the last two weeks in my country. Some were found on their beds dead from heart attacks that happened during their sleep. Others died suddenly ( and that is where the name comes from ) where they were sitting. If I write here what was the reason that was official recorded at the postmortem results I bet that the moderation will delete my post.
On Chimera Jan 5, 2022
Title Chimera Spoiler
The last episode left a lot of plotholes. It didn't explain the reasons why Kim Hyo Kyung wanted to imitate the methods of Chimera and connect the old case with the new murders and on top of that "warn" this way those who were involved with the old case about their imminent assassination.
She had no reason to do that. If she wanted to kill them as a revenge for the death of her father ( who she never met) and the death of her mother ( that she never met either, she just read what happened to them) she could have done it with any other method and kill those who caused their death one by one without raise any suspicions.
Not to mention that her motives were not strong enough because as I said previously she never met neither her father, nor her mother and it was not only difficult to know what exactly happened in order to have such strong feelings against those who were responsible, but also no way to figure out the methods of Chimera and imitate them and set up all that thing. Not even the police knew enough details about the old Chimear's methods.

If the concept was to take revenge she could have done it easier with other methods. To setup these murders as suicides, or accidents or whatever was more convenient in order not to raise any suspicions and avoid any connection with the old case.

I don't really understand why she got in the trouble to become the Chimera no 2. Why she chose the hard way and not the easy way?

Her brother on the other hand had stronger motives to kill them all because he was old enough to remember what happened and he was in the police station along with his father when the later was detained and killed. Someone would expect that the person who had experienced that situation would seek revenge not someone who wasn't even born at that time.
Anyway..
8,5 instead of the 10 that initially gave, because the motives of the culprit and the method didn't actually made that much sense. The finale was a huge disappointment for me.

Talking about democracy but then petition to silence the opposite opinion is not democratic. The drama might offend…
It seems that Democracy is still active in S. Korea as petitions for cancellation get ignored.
If it wasn't then they would have cancelled this drama, and that would have been what a Dictatorship would have done in this case.
Dictatorships are those who listen only to one voice not Democracies.

The best action for these victims would have been to downvote this drama on the reviews instead of petition to cancel it before it is completed.

That is how it goes. You first listen ( or don't listen ) to what someone has to say and if you disagree or you feel offended you can "cancel" him with your review, or by turning your back to what he says which in the case of dramas equals to low viewership.

Because I want to listen first to what the so called "offender" has to say, allow him to complete what he has to say and then judge, FOR and BY myself, about who is right and who is wrong.

It is all about retaining the fundamental right to be able to listen to all of the different opinions and to be able to see all the different points of view, and that is the reason why I don't want them to be silenced by those who disagree with them.

That is what Democracy is all about. Freedom of speech, freedom of ideas, freedom to support your opinion even if that is not popular, or right .
And there isn't a middle ground on this. You either have this right or not. You can't have it whenever you like or it is more convenient for you.

he's always had a pretty good english accent!
He is because other actors who speak fluently and without any Korean accent have lived and studied abroad . He hasn't. It is very hard to speak clear and BBC standard English - lol as they called them, the English that broadcasters speak- if you don't use them at least for a while as your speaking language. He might use them when he travels abroad but acting in a foreign for you language is a whole different thing.
I'm saying that from my own experience too, as English is not my native language either but I lived for a while in UK. While I was there it was very hard even for native speakers to detect where I was from. Now that I'm living in my country I find it hard to speak so fluently and so clearly English because I don't use it as my main language. Now it is easier for me to write in English. I can communicate but I need a bit of time to bring the whole thing together and make my mouth follow my thoughts... lol

Yes but now he sounds fluent too. He is the only S.Korean actor who doesn't speak English with a Korean accent. He has probably work a lot on how to pronounce English without any kind of accent and this is something he wouldn't be able to achieve without a speech teacher. So he has probably hired someone to teach him how to speak in English particularly for acting. Good for him. He should get cast to an international production.

Title The Silent Sea Spoiler
Remember it's just a show. Sometimes you just have to go with things. That's what I do anyway.
Yes you went with it because you wanted to, but half of the supposedly thriller scenes were cancelled by the wrong way that they were depicted. The guy who started screaming while he was vomiting haha ha ha water for three minutes straight made me lmao and then I couldn't take seriously this show.
As you see I'm trying not to spoil the show for those who want to watch it, but my opinion is that it was completely stupid and the good cast couldn't save it.
When the plot is crap there is no salvation no matter how hard they try.

My list of points (1-6) refers to science. I fully realize it was far from complete. Thanks for making it longer.…
I have the impression that the ratings are manipulated by bots as some of the worst shows that have the worst reviews and and have been dropped by their viewers have super high ratings.

The thing that you don't seem to understand is that if you cancel the Science part of a Science Fiction drama that takes place in space then you cancel a huge part of the story plot.
What would be f.e the reason for the crew to run to get into the space station if at the end of the day Moon had enough atmosphere in order to transmit the sound of their footsteps or the sound of their spacecraft while it is sliding on the cliff? lol

Same applies to almost everything else in this drama. Vac suites f.e are made heavy in order to allow you walk on no gravity conditions. Each and everyone of them weights 100 pounds. So you can't walk with them in full gravity conditions.

And for sure nobody can scream while s/he vomits. It isn't possible. LOL

I didn't say that you didn't point out some of the factual errors. I'm just pointing out that the whole drama is full of such huge factual errors that it ends up look more like just Fiction and not Science Fiction.

Some MDL members said on the comments that they don't mind if it is just Fiction. But if the writers of this drama cancel completely all kind of physics and scientific facts then the whole story plot has no point. What would be the reason f.e for the crew to run to get into the space station if at the end of the day Moon had enough atmosphere in order to transmit sound waves...! lol

Most of the things you've mentioned are the Fiction part of the otherwise Sci Fi drama.
The director and the writers messed up even in the Science part. We hear for instance the sound of the steps of the austronauts while they are walking on the vacuum of the Moon's surface.
Or we hear the noise that the spacecraft does while it is sliding from the cliff again in complete vacuum.
The whole crew wears the vac suits and walks and moves normally with these suits in full artificial gravity.
And of course none of these people get tired, or hungry, orthirsty etc. they have no normal human function in the whole duration of the 8 episodes. From the moment that they step on the Moon's surface ( with a crash landing) up to the final episode they don't seem to have any normal human needs. They look like they are the mutated super humans and not the girl.

Sci Fi films and drama ought to retain at least a bit of scientific realism. How people and things react in low gravity and the fact that there is no sound in vacuum is basic scientific knowledge and facts.
If the writers and the director ignore or don't mind to depict accurately these things then they shouldn't claim that their drama is a Sci Fi one but just a Fiction one.

In this drama the Science part should be the accurate depiction of a group of people walking on the Moon's surface and the Fiction part is the child with the extra terrestrial mutations that walks without vac suit on the surface of the moon.
