According to http://www.8days.sg/hallyu-buzz/alleged-victim-lee-jin-wooks-sexual-assault-case-said-have-withdrawn-charges-505056, the alleged victim withdrew the charges and admitted they were false. He sued her and eventually won a defamation suit. She is or was a musical actress. Perhaps she was trying to get a little publicity to restart a career. Some people believe that even bad publicity is better than no publicity when needing public attention. You're defaming him which is wrong. We are not to bear false witness, as one of the Ten Commandments.
I don't know the actor, nor have I started watching the drama, but the outcry over every little perceived insult needs to stop. It's as if people live to drag someone down if there's even a chance that person might become successful. I might even consider this so-called controversy as something drummed up by either rival actors, wannabe actors, rival agents and agencies in order to cut down on competition. No one else really gains anything from criticizing an off-hand remark, except those who are narcissistic enough to think they should have power over other people's lives.
"If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" is still a good rule to live by.
guys before commenting anything remember.. drinking is a deeply ingrained, central part of South Korean culture..
Drinking is a part of many, if not most, cultures. Dangerous activities can be learned from and discarded when people mature personally, socially and culturally. Cultures should improve, not get mired in risky/unhealthy traditions/social behavior.
Reading all the self-righteous, "I never drink either" comments from Puritanical MDL Church Ladies below…
My parents didn’t drink, and I don’t drink. I know other people who weren’t drinkers. People can just be happy with non-alcoholic beverages without being self-righteous.
Although having a non-alcoholic beverage with drinkers can work, drinkers can turn into bullies because, for some weird reason, they want everyone in the gathering to be drinking with them. This is a good reason to skip drinking parties. He’s smart to stay away from potential bad company.
This actor is certainly popular for the "vertical videos". It's a curiosity why he and some of the other VV actors don't get the more standard dramas when they're clearly talented enough. Must not be favored by the CCP.
Worst version, not even completed. They just gave up. The Taiwanese version is the next worst version because of the dreadful male character (actor did his job, the character he played was just disgusting). Korean, Chinese and Thai versions are better. I like the Chinese one best. It's the only one in which the couple didn't fornicate.
Looks interesting. Just checked IMDB to make sure the main lead was Mark Lester and he was, although he was not credited here. There's also a review from someone who saw it many years ago. He or she enjoyed seeing all the Japanese surroundings. No mention of the storyline, though. It's listed as a comedy there.
Would really, really like to see Season 2. She has a potential choice to make! All those who can't handle the age gap seem to forget she's already married and that her husband might actually be a good match. :)
Kim Hyung-Min is still an enigma. How did she amass so much wealth, why did she lump the firm together? Why was…
Exactly. What great character potential! She's failed the bar more than once but is still trying to learn the best way, observing real life lawyers at work. Would be interesting if the one that loves to teach ends up as her professor for one last try at the bar.
I don't get the disappointment that it's not more of a romance. It's title tells you what it is. I would've felt tricked if it was less about law and more about romance. I am enjoying the cases, the dilemmas and the romance that there's just enough of for this story. I hope there's a second season. The Advisor is an interesting character, and we still know so little about her in the second to the last episode. If she could pass the bar in the next season, what would she do with the worst managing partners? There's all sorts of potential even if the core group is broken up by a professorship and any other life decisions that take place.
That's a shame but not as bad as it would be if Jang Na Ra wasn't able to reprise her role. It will be interesting to see if they replace the actress or introduce a new character. Sometimes scheduling conflicts simply can't be worked around.
