Not gonna lie, tried hard but couldn’t get past Episode 13. They did try well in introducing twists to make it interesting, but the show fell down HARD after Episode 10. And once it was revealed to Rowoon’s character, i really didn’t see a reason to keep watching.
Also, the actress and makeup choice is pretty wrong lol. Sure, her stature and voice is good, but she’s also like 2 feet smaller than every man on the show with multiple layers of women’s makeup on her face. It’s hard to believe anyone would just think she’s a prince to begin with. Some spiciness or good romance would have probably kept me in but it didn’t happen :(
Of course, a seemingly white-blonde man doesn’t care about what Asian people who actually went through this time can deem what is insensitive and what not.
Hoping it will. One of the cruelest people who literally got people killed and abused students is a "literature…
Yes, we’re watching the same show. And “viewer sensitivity” LOL. And the of the woman you mention in the last para? The actress re-posted stories about how she looks “badass” in the portrayal 😁 love to see some some hot, pretty and badass NSA agents on our screen. That clearly tells me how the people working on this show are like. “I mean they’re bad but not actually as bad coz artistic purposes” isn’t a good argument. Don’t revise history for your entertainment.

Uh… If you watched the first episodes like your profile said you have (thanks for manipulating MDL ratings of the show btw and proving my point of how exactly you can’t trust the ratings on this site), by “seem” i mean they do in fact have portrayed them as good characters with some kindness in them. If they were evil the hall coordinator wouldn’t be in the dorm right now but behind bars or in heaven and they would have barged into the rooms anyway.

Yeah. Waiting for “hitler was right to do what he did” statement from you next. After all, an opinion does not harm anyone, right? You’re just having it as an individual. Internet never fails to amaze me 🙏🏻

Anti-democratic? Good way to spin the issue. IT is very much democratic that we get this taken down because of how insensitive it is. However the agenda so far in the show seems to find the actual anti-democratic characters fun to display on screen as some good guys. And you all will now say something like “omg they’re actually the bad guys.” Oh wow, what a plot twist. Meanwhile the show is like “anyways, did you know this kind old man loved literature, what a lovely figure anyways.” Who knew the shitty people these characters have been taken up from are actually bad? Such good entertainment, you all must be having fun.

Talks a person who has watched 2 episodes of the show and has rated it 10/10 on this website? Sounds like a person who’s blind and ready to defend the show to its death. Yeah, have come across a lot of you on here and on twitter.

just like I don’t get to and morally shouldn’t talk you or your race’s behalf of I’m not one of them, you don’t get to talk on behalf of the country and its people. You don’t get to insert your insensitive opinion about how they should feel about a certain content. You watch on the sidelines, wish for whatever you want, but don’t tell us, it’s wrong because it’s not your place to.
Same lol. As a full-time writer I'm ALL for creative freedom, but NOT when it's essentially far-right propaganda…
The ignorance is truly mind-blowing. One of the comment literally talks about how “people don’t know what it is.” And intl. fans looking from the sidelines with zero knowledge do? But not them? It’s not like anyone has it out for the makers lol, they did pretty good with sky castle and that’s why it’s critically acclaimed and loved by the audience. Jung Hae-in and Yoon Se-ah are some of the popular actors participating too. If they are opposing it, there must be a valid reason? Nobody stops to think that.

I’m part Korean with my family members having first hand experience. Now, most Koreans agree, which is exactly why you have a petition with hundreds of thousands of sings to take it down. The country is not a wonderland for your idols and just made to produce entertainment for k-boos.
It's not a documentary, it's entertainment, why do people mistake those two so often. Hope it won't end up like…
Hoping it will. One of the cruelest people who literally got people killed and abused students is a "literature soft boy" ffs. You don't get to speak if you aren't Korean. You don't get to decide how families who actually experienced the time to react to this bs.
Will end up in losses. Being insensitive and ignorant in the name of "freedom of content creation." No worries, it's flopping anyways even after all the money they spent on it. The advertisers are backing down like they should and even Disney+ employees have it out for them. The victim's families are ready to fight them while an injunction is being filed soon. The only "entertainment" I'll get from this and seeing all the people involved go down.
LOL First Artificial City which comes 5 days later than Korean telecast and now this. Nobody got jTBC's back right now 😂Even School 2021 is Viki exclusive but they have subs ready right after the telecast.
Really a visual spectacle. Liked the second episode too, a bit more than first. What a great start. Though, sound design could have been much better than it is to match the camerawork’s and visuals.
Let me be honest, these 2 episodes had 10x better lore and world-building than a show like Hellbound. K-dramas usually can’t pull this off well but this was good. Though, I’m quite scared about how they’ll be able to stretch it to 16-episodes, would have given me confidence if it was 10, maybe?
Yoo-jin actress has some balls reposting stories praising her for looking badass on Instagram. Looks like she doesn't care that the character is an NSA agent, nothing cool or amazing about it. Villains can look cool, not actual shitty people being portrayed here.
hoping that's the case and it is removed for disney+ soon if they want to get successful in korea.
disney+ hotstar is a service limited to india, indonesia, thailand and malaysia. disney+ is a separate international service first launched in US and later expanded to europe and asia-pacific. it was launched in some countries like korea only last month and this is their 3rd korean content after outrun by running man and blackpink: the movie.
That's exactly it, they don't want her to be successful, even the director said it has nothing to do with the…
what... the comment section is literally kboos and her fans praising the terrible acting and plot all the way through. we're finally bringing some attention to real issues so of course you guys have problems.
The hell? They have? Pretty faces running around to catch an actual north korean spy? NSA bastards were so evil that they would shoot inside the dorm and kick away the hall monitor if it was realistic in any way. "omg we lost an agent coz of this north korean guy."
