I hope that, as a Disney production, it will bring a level of quality equal as "Shogun". It's only a first teaser but it looks promising and at least it's not a rom/com or fusion sageuk mixing comedy, tragedy and everything all together, which is, for of true sageuk lover like me, already a very good point. Looking forward to it.
What a weird thing to say. It sounds like you’ve never actually experienced racism or had your culture mocked…
Belittling someone and feeling pity for them are not the same thing at all. The meaning of my words was litteral. I really feel sorry for people who always see the world that way. It was not cynical. And finding some people's worldview narrow and negative is not belittling them either.
Han Ye sul speaks french and in her drama so did Lee-Yeon Hee. There was another who was a french translator who…
As I wrote, "that I have seen of course". ;) I haven't watched any drama with Han Ye Seul. And I have seen Lee Yun Hee only in sageuk, but I don't remember her speaking French in it so it must be another one I haven't watched too.
As expected it's not my cup of tea as fusion sageuk that mixes all genres isn't my thing, but it's not bad neither. The production is very good. Im Yoon Ah is the first Korean actress speaking a decent French in a drama (that I have seen of course), so this must be pointed, and I'm looking forward to Kang Han Na (so good at playing the villain concubine) and Seo Yi Sook (as the Queen Dowager) performances.
And of course there is Chae Min. I knew he would be good in this role, and he definitely is, I hope everybody will see it. The king role suits him very well and I found his interpretation of the character very good in the first two episodes (it could have been even better if it was a serious sageuk that doesn't mix everything). And I'm looking forward to more close-ups on his handsome face while he enjoys food (and more hopefully ^^).
"Bon Appétit, Your Majesty" isn't the kind of sageuk I really like, but Chae Min is doing a great job portraying King Yi Heon. I'm looking forward to the next episodes only for him.

Except that there is a difference between making a general assumption, which I do and of course is never 100% true, and targeting one specific person with assumptions, which I didn't do. But of course, as your comments show, you are the only one that can be right and I'm just a weird boomer grand-mother, so what do I know ?
For your information animated movies are not forbidden here according the guidelines. This one shouldn't be here though because it's not a co-production.
I think they're under a trial period at least that's what they send me when I edited some of the information.
This is not new. Despite the guidelines some staff here do whatever they want with edits and there is nobody in charge to check or any system to report their decisions if we think they are wrong. However, according the guidelines, animated movies are not forbidden here so they can be added. But "KPop Demon Hunters" isn't a Korean co-production so it shouldn't have been added indeed.

Well I'm not from the USA, I particularly dislike many things coming from there and my culture hasn't been influenced much by them so I don't see the point. It's not because someone share a different opinion that we must assume things about them.

Look, unlike you, I don't feel the need to make assumptions about you or your background or belittle you just because we disagree. I respect your opinion even if I don't share it. Again, it's exactly what I wrote in my initial comment, this kind of answer is typical of some people, but have a nice day nonetheless.

All cultures have been mocked through ignorant stereotypes. It's not because I don't think some mocking about my culture is actually funny that I will scream "racism" or feel offended by it. I guess I have enough self-esteem and pride in my culture to not feel threatened or offended by something so small. But your comment, for me, is the exact reflection of my previous comment last sentence.
And humour is always done at the expense of someone or something, it's never "inclusive".
Ohlala, the days when everyone could make fun of everything without the whole world feeling offended are long gone indeed. For that, it was definitely better before! I find it really sad for the younger generations who didn't experience that era. Their vision of the world, which is supposed to be open and kind, is so narrow and negative. Poor souls.
And of course there is Chae Min. I knew he would be good in this role, and he definitely is, I hope everybody will see it.
