oh I see. However, I didn't see it that way by her/his comment. However, we all perceive things differently, which we have that right to do. However, no matter what or how he or she meant it... it's was unnecessary to downplay this coronavirus by putting statistic's of other deaths and stating that "Logically, this is the best time to film because no crowds and traffic ruining your work." Not taking into account that most important thing is to prevent anymore health issues due to this virus. Yes, I understand that there are other deaths. However, this article was to be informative... not have someone come along and pretty much not give two cents about those in China that are dealing with this virus. There is no excuse for someone to be so empty hearted, with no empathy ... but more into the statistics of numbers. So I'm going to just agree to disagree ... and karma can take it from here. Take Care Laura, thank you for responding.

lol... oh ok. It's understandable Ceki, I'm sure you busy trying to do what needs to be done, and sometimes you can get lost in the shuffle. No harm... no foul. :)

and? She/he said "People" yes.. and that is okay? I don't understand where you comment is going.

who's argument? mine... I'm not arguing.. just stating my personal opinion about the state of mind *TheQuestion went too regarding his or her run down on deaths, and how I felt it was totally unnecessary for he/her to go down that path. If anyone took offense into what I said to *TheQuestion... then we will agree to disagree.

Masahiro Higashide... I wonder if you're sitting down thinking "Losing so much, my family, my fans, my career for Erika... it's worth it!" or are you sitting somewhere thinking "My children, what have I done, what was I thinking?" Apologies... mean nothing when years down the road ... this is your legacy for your children to read or findout about. If you were having marital problems.. there are avenues that would have been easier and less harmful for everyone involved. However, this is where you sit.... uhmmmm... I wonder... Are you happy now Masahiro Higashide?
As far as I'm concerned... you should get on your knees and apologize to your children for the rest of your life. Because of your manly desires... you've put your children in a spot that they never deserved from their parent that was suppose to be their role model, a parent they were to look up too. smh... my prayers go out to your children.

Everything you worked hard for, your schooling, your career & the support of so many fans. Erika... you just flushed that all down the toilet for a fling with a married man. smh... I hope all this was worth it.
I have and will never feel pity for you. No matter how old or how young you were when you decided to enter in the illicit affair, no matter how many feel you were maybe naive or pressured ... you still went into this with your eyes wide open with the knowledge of who he was, who his wife was, and I'm sure you knew of his 3 innocent children. You can't claim ignorance after staying in it for 3 years... you can't claim being naive after staying with him for 3 years. You can only take responsibility of the actions you took equal part in with those 3 years, and get on you knees with Masahiro Higashide and apologize to the children that both of you hurt.
We don't know what the reason is ... and honestly... I don't give a hoot. However... there are 3 lives that matter more than anything right now, and my prayers go out to those little ones.

Wow... you're something else. I pretty sure that the reason Ceki put this information out there, was not to put fear in anyone, but to inform those Historical fans and viewers of the delay of certain historical drama's due to the virus. You then put all this unnecessary information about other deaths etc... as if you're making light of those who have died from this virus. Any death from any virus, or not... should not be taken lightly. Those who commented, along with myself... was for the understanding why this article was making those aware of ***What and Why historical dramas' are being delayed***.
Your over the top pathetic reason to continue to film the drama was .... and I quote your exact words: "Logically, this is the best time to film because no crowds and traffic ruining your work." Logically??? WOW... in my 64 years of being on this earth and around so many different people... you definitely "Cut the Cake" for someone that is truly Sad. smh.. tsk tsk tsk.

My prayers go out to those in China that is dealing with this virus. Here in my State we had one gentleman that was diagnosed with the virus after returning from China. He's doing well thank God. Although it's been decided to delay filming of the historical drama's that viewers were anxious to see... the Most Important Thing Above All is the Health of all Chinese and Non-Chinese citizens.

This actor although.. it seems that he is more supporting, simply intrigues me. Each historical fantasy drama he is in... just floors me with his ability to put all his energy into the fight. He's an extremely talented actor that seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle of things and should be given the utmost recognition for his talent.

well.. short on Romance, but that's how it goes. Definitely looking forward to the following:
***Love Alarm 2
***Half of Half
***Itaewon Class
***Ssanggab Cart Bar
***Sisyphus: The Myth
NOTE: I'm strongly on the "Iffy" side regarding; The King: The Eternal Monarch. We'll see... not a fan of parallel world dramas

Being a over-the-top Romantic Fantasy Historical Drama's Fan... I've noticed how these type of drama are becoming extinct..lol. However, I'm still a weakling when it comes to any type of Romance & melodrama's as well. That's okay.. it's life.
However, the upcoming 2020 K-drama's that I've listed are ones that hopefully will be 10 star tickets.
A Huge Thank You Skye-N-Rain for all your hard work putting this together for us drama lovers. :)

***Well Said PrettyCarEye***

PrettyCarEye... You've nailed it completely. As I said in my earlier comment, I consider Erika more at fault. She wasn't naive to the fact that Masahiro Higashide was a married man prior to the affair even happening. Therefore, a victim she is not. Once again, we don't know the circumstances of this family, and as you pointed out the difference in Japanese culture in certain aspects... hence we have no right to judge. We don't know what is seen behind close doors and honestly the only reason this is getting out of hand is because they are both celebrities.. and they aren't allowed to have a private life. Yes Masahiro Higashide has to hold responsibility for his actions... but in my personal opinion Erika should hold the brunt of it. My heart aches for his children, especially having to see all the hate toward their father. If they are going to get out of this barely unscathed ... they will need the Love and Support of both parents and the extended family. Even as a outsider.... those children will be in my prayers.

Life, this is life. The only problem is, he and she are both celebrity and he was caught. Marriage is not perfect... don't get me wrong, I'm Hard Core when it comes to the institution of marriage that the vows taken. Being faithful is a wild card, I don't care if you're the wife or hubby that's been married for 2 months or several years. It's a wild card... especially for celebrities who are put in situations that bring on that temptation... not too mention the possibility that maybe... just maybe the so-called happy couple wasn't really so happy behind closed doors. Just because they have children and she's pregnant etc.. doesn't mean heavenly bliss. We don't know... we can only assume. I'm not one to make that judgement call.. and I won't sit on a public jury to do so.. since I've been cheated on by my EX-hubby. However, I know the situation with me... no one has the right to throw the 1st stone. Only the one that has the right to judge... is a greater being. (My personal outlook, not to offend anyone).
***What both ... BOTH did by having this affair is Wrong, to say the least. Higashide Masahiro for not having the strength to overcome that temptation & stay faithful. If he was having marital issues he should have waited.. gotten a divorce and then find where his happiness is. There is no excuse for adultery... NONE.
As for the Actress Karata Erika, she's the worst of the two in my opinion. WHY? She's not stupid.. nor blind to the fact that Higashide Masahiro is married with children etc. from the start... before there was any kind of relationship between them. Yet she continued to become involved with him. She's has more fault in this, especially being a woman and not thinking.. how she would feel if the tables were turned. Also... it stated that Higashide Masahiro wife is pregnant ... so.. He was still sexually involved with his wife and dating Erika, and this was not a sign to Erika? ***
Well as I stated... I don't condone Adultery.. I strongly believe in the Vows taken when you decide to make that choice to say those two words in front of God... "I Do/I Will". However, once you cross that forbidden line... it's God that you have to answer too in the end.

That's funny Brownie... lol. However, agreed.. a Season 2 is just a waste of viewing. It was a happy ending... THE END PERIOD!!! LOL!!!

I'm really surprised that this young actor Sung Hung isn't in more Romantic Drama's playing the Main Lead. I meannnn... I first admired this young actor in *Noble My Love* which the character he portrayed showed the amazing talent this young man has. Then the ever fabulous *My Secret Romance*. I know that he has been in other roles, but either the leading lady didn't fit with him/his character or.. the storyline just didn't seem to be up to par with his amazing ability as an actor. Hopefully he'll get the recognition that is so greatly deserved with much better main leading star roles... with the right leading lady & script. Wishing him many more amazing years showing his brilliant talent on the big screen of stars.

I'm not a Kamen fan, only because I'm just too too old..lol.... 64 yrs and counting.
However, I just had the pleasure to watch this young actor in *Nee Sensei, Shiranai No?*, where he definitely shines.. he has incredible talent to be a leading actor. I'm looking forward to other drama's this young man will be in. He has definitely earned my respect and admiration as an upcoming young talent that deserves to go far.. or should I say UP!!! Many good luck wishes for your future endeavors Akaso Eiji.

Although I'm not too familiar with all the members of EXO.. I wish this young man and his future wife many many happy years together. This young lady could be a true blessing in his life.

Strong Admiration & Respect for this young Amazingly Talented Actor Hyun Bin, From the first time I had the pleasure to watch him in *Secret Garden* to *Hyde, Jekyll & Me as well as *Memories of Alhambra*. I'm always looking forward to enjoying another drama with this young actor playing the lead... each character he show his talent and gives it 101%. Looking forward to the upcoming drama ***Crash Landing On You*** which looks totally AMAZING!!!

I had the pleasure to watch this young actor in Unrequited Love, and I do have to say that he's definitely a strong contender for the Golden Star when it comes to Romance drama's. lol. I'm a sucker for romance drama's. His leading lady in that drama was exceptional as well.. Both of them had brought a new reality of young high school & college unrequited romance. I'll continue to look forward to romantic drama's with this young actor in the future. Wishing him the very best in life from this day forward!!!

Strongly Admire Both of these Amazing Actress/Actor. I hope this get added and subbed soon.
