Choo Youngwoo talked about 'You make Me Dance' recently in an interview and mentioned how it is a precious debut…
This. Thank you for sharing it.
And more than that, he is close friend with several actors that also appeared in BL dramas (for example, Lee Sun from "Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo"), his own brother will make his acting debut (though he appeared in "The Tale of Lady Ok" as Young Woo's doppelgänger character) at the end of February in "Secret Relationship", and he promoted it on Instagram, he just appeared in Hong Seok Cheon's jewel box on Youtube (Hong Seok Cheon just being the most famous homosexual of Korea).
I already wrote that "You Make Me Dance" wasn't a hug success, so he had no reason to brag about it. And even if he wanted to hide it, it would have been impossible in theses days and age with internet, so these attacks on him just bvecause he deleted few Instagram posts were just pure slandering. I don't see other actors being targeted because they do not promote their acting debuts in a drama or a movie (for example, Ji Chang Wook also appeared in a short indie movie as an homosexual when he was a student, but as it very old and nobody knows about it, it was never mentioned anywhere).
This is just an example of the craziness (yes I assume the word) of a generation totally fanaticised through social medias, and who only sees the world through the prism of identity, "gender", sexuality, etc. Generation of degenerates and brainless for me.
What's your criteria for writing news articles seriously ? Because there are other things much more interesting regarding actors or the film and drama industries that are much more interesting but I never see a news article about that here.
What's the point to write about stupid and meaningless controversies like that when 99% of people just don't care about it ? Is it really that good to write about trash news just to create some "buzz" ? Is it that difficult to try to elevate the level and write about serious and interesting subjects ?
"they should stop with this silly cliché that some manly man will fall in love and is suddenly physically attracted…
Well, I think it's very disturbing to write about other people lives like that. But that doesn't change anything in the end. Especially because anybody can write anything here and claiming it's true, that doesn't make it real still. People can also say something and think otherwise, purposely or unconsciously. They can be in denial, or under emotional/physical repression. Psychologically and biologically speaking, no one develops physical and sexual attraction suddenly for the other sex (we are not talking about a fling or curiosity during teenage years or early adulthood here). Even ignored, repressed, denied, it was already there, it's scientific. But feel free to believe whatever you like, I'm not here for a lecture on how all this works.
It's not bad, it's even quite interesting because that's not a subject you can often see represented in a drama or movie, but there is two things that bother me a lot in the last episode, and I wish they would stop to do that in BLs. Nakarai Sei stating that he had only girlfriends before, "as usual", but he fell in love to Fujisawa Kazuaki to the point that now the man is totally depressed and pent up because he want to have sex with him so bad (and will transfer all that on Hagiwara Kazuaki). And Nakarai Sei and Hagiwara Kazuaki, who is supposed to be totally heterosexual, that will have a steamy intercourse in the next episode, like suddenly, both can't resist a male body attraction.
At some point, nobody turns homosexual overnight, they should stop with this silly cliché that some manly man will fall in love and is suddenly physically attracted to only one man, just for the sake of a BL story. I never met anyone like that in real life.
I still look forward to THE scene next week because Muto Jun is totally captivating me since the beginning.
Choo Young Woo deserves all the praises possible for his performance in this sageuk (and even an award). But other than that, it's just a ridiculous and unrealistic scenario, filled with contemporary references, put in an historical settings. Of course it is popular with the general audience, the production is very good with a beautiful cinematography, and it has all the morally acceptable, sensational and appealing elements they like (just like "My Dearest"), but for me it's a very bad sageuk.
Tell me you're anti-euthanasia without telling me you are anti-euthanasia. Did you know that, globally, only about…
Why are you implying that I tried to hid anything with your first sentence ? From the start of your answer there is a passive/aggressive tone, how are we supposed to have a good exchange with such way to answer others ?
Your argument (based on numbers that, of course, we should believe) is that because there is not enough done for palliative care, promoting and allowing euthanasia is a good thing. Yes, it is exactly the culture of death for me.
I have made many edits for this movie over the last few weeks, and especially several edits to put the right English title, but no, my edits are just ignored (as I didn't received any rejection message).
Anyway, excited for the release in 5 days, hopefully I can see this one in cinemas this time.
They didn't promote Euthanasia, they more of did a commentary on it showing different povs on the topic. Also…
Well, if it wasn't their intention, the results are different for some people. As my comment shown, that's exactly what I understood from their TV series without having any context about it. If they are personally for euthanasia, even if they honestly tried to offer a balanced story, they may not have realised that for people who are against, their story just leans to one side more than the other because of an unconscious bias. I agree that Kan isn't portrayed totally perfect or righteous, but still, for me, there is a way the dialogues are done and his motivations highlighted that shows his actions positively.

I don't agree. That's only your point of view. I watched it without knowing anything about the plot and the original material it was based of, and through the drama and until the end, for me, it's just a promotion for euthanasia. Because even if Kan is arrested at the end, to respect the law, they make him look good and like a "hero" still (and even Thiu finally forgives him, in a instant, after his little speech...). All talks about euthanasia are shown under a good light (the moral side of course), with only the law (suggested as wrong), against it.
As much as I like him, the trailer confirmed me that he doesn't pass as a high school student, not even one bit, at least not for me. I'll still watch the drama (and I hope enjoy it), but all the undercover stuff will not be very credible I guess.
And more than that, he is close friend with several actors that also appeared in BL dramas (for example, Lee Sun from "Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo"), his own brother will make his acting debut (though he appeared in "The Tale of Lady Ok" as Young Woo's doppelgänger character) at the end of February in "Secret Relationship", and he promoted it on Instagram, he just appeared in Hong Seok Cheon's jewel box on Youtube (Hong Seok Cheon just being the most famous homosexual of Korea).

My God, the things some people write here... Unbelievable.
